Ingress General Discussion: we're all BRTD now

[J-Mann]

I've downloaded this now ... had never heard of it before this thread. If I get into it and it becomes a time-suck, I will hunt you down BRTD.

Update: I am now level two but I still haven't taken any portals because they're all really high level, is it supposed to take forever to capture a portal? Also in Winder there is apparently a portal at the funeral home, I think that's a questionable design decision

I'm in the same boat. Only able to do a lot of hacking right now, although I destroyed my first resonator yesterday. I'm on my way to a nearby park soon to take an unclaimed portal and TRY to protect it, but given that I only have L2 resonators, I don't know how well that's going to work.

There's another Enlightened portal close to the unclaimed one where I think I can blow the last resonator, though.

Sort of fun!

And, another update: I took three unclaimed portals (and based on how difficult it is to destroy resonators, I'm hoping that four L2 resonators and four L1 resonators at each, along with shields, will be enough to protect them for now) and captured another, destroying seven resonators in the process.

BK: taking portals and deploying resonators seems to be the best way to quickly build AP. I was at around 3,200 AP (out of 20,000 in L2) when I took off tonight, and I'm at nearly 15,000 now.

Hell yeah! My favorite bar (a block from my house and Kansas City's oldest) is a Resistance stronghold!
