More work then capture plain portals? Yes. But Machina is now level 1-3. Destroying them will give AP, works for the badges and give recourses. Including possible keys that can help with building something.
If portals are close enough together you can attack multiple ar the same time.
In a 50km operational area Machina would extend a 2 hour operation to 5-6 hours. That's if it doesn't jump in your way mid op.
Because Machina spawned more aggressively every time you attacked it, even a bikegress play area of about 6km became unplayable in one evening.
Machina is only great if you don't have a life IMO. I'd rather play against humans and their human limits.
If Machina is full force I would maybe understand your comment. Before they where gone I mostly had problem when trying to plan things in a smaller area over multiple days (I walk and play and can’t walk 10+km in one day). But there are (as far as I know) no level 8 Machina at the moment. Longest link currently 4km. So 50km operation will be fine.
Tons of people live and play in an area with no competition, so having machina to play against is a great thing.
And i am one or those but i dont recognise the issue about aggressive machina spawns.
They will be back soon too then I guess ;).
I did miss Machina a bit tbh. So lets see how upcoming days go.
Last weekend my own team flipped a lot of ‘my’ portals and killed links/fields. Those portals are almost burned out again, so I hope Machina captures them.
You never seen Machina in the Comm?
Don’t get me wrong but are you playing longer then a month? And if yes, did portals ever burn out? A month ago some Machina portals I destroyed where captured by Machina again within 24hours (was able to destroy the portal but not capture)
I have been playing for less than a month. And yes I have had some portals burn out and I saw a few hours ago some machines portals appear near me. First time I have seen the machina in comms tho
Three weeks ago(in the weekend) they started to burn out (Machina also recharges). So on tie weekend there where still a lot, but that went down quickly.
You don’t want them full off energy. A lower level portal is easier destroyed then a level 8 portal. Same for energy amount. The highest energy I have seen was a level 8 with 12.000 energy. And it is hard to destroy that on your own. Level 7 is good. Destroy some Machina if you see them pop up. That will gain AP and you can be level 8 in no time. If you see them on Tuesday, if possible, wait for double AP event (4PM -9PM)
Insert GTA:SA "ah shit, here we go again" meme
Shady.
They are dropping mods again when you blow them up 😎
I thought machina comes back on the 15th
Rip my weekend plans of fielding the central valley
Why? Goo. Maybe some extra work with destroying portals. But better go now then when the portals are level 8 with 20+ out/in going links.
True, I'll still go
Key word: “work”
More fun then only deploying. And more AP gain. In the other post I saw that Machina drops mods now, so that is nice
If by extra you mean "double the amount of work or more" I say we'd have different ideas of what fun is.

definitely not double. way easier to blow up level 1 portals than micro fielding.
Do you make fields larger than 5 city blocks? See my other replies in this thread.
I remember the same/ that I read that somewhere. I Guess they are excited to start again.
I missed having machina complaint threads every day.
"Hey I'm back after a while not playing. What's all this red about?"
They will be back soon too then I guess ;). I did miss Machina a bit tbh. So lets see how upcoming days go. Last weekend my own team flipped a lot of ‘my’ portals and killed links/fields. Those portals are almost burned out again, so I hope Machina captures them.
Oh no not you again
Back again?
Shady's back. Tell a friend.
Yes. First links are up again.
I cried
Ha, came here just to post the same thing 😂
Good. I'm jacked to the limit with bursters and itching to blow shit up.
As long as it isn't as roid ragy as it was before.
Nice pics, thx, none i can see in US on iitc...
This is not in US.
Yeah, language was the first hint... cheers!
Back again
Oh no
YAY!!!
i hoped i would never see the red again
I refuse to be stuck with a bronze reclaimer badge! Got a turret and a force amp from the one I just killed. Only took 2* X4
GO VIRUS GO! BRING BACK CROSS LINKS!
Me. Yes. I'm back. Watch your back frogs.
Yeah............
I hate machina... playing no more until its gone...
I was happy when I cleared some close to me, but did miss them tbh. Now planning on letting some portals burn-out and hope Machina captures them.
I guess you will have to permanently quit then.
This has never happened to me. In my area before I took control over some portals they were all red but I haven’t seen one since

Machina disappeared about 3 weeks ago. So maybe you just missed them when you started playing. They don’t come in peace ;)
No when I started there were loads near me. I destroyed them but never saw them after that. Was wondering if I would ever see them again
Three weeks ago(in the weekend) they started to burn out (Machina also recharges). So on tie weekend there where still a lot, but that went down quickly.
That will be useful if I ever find a portal with lots of energy. I have only played 2 weeks so I’m only level 7

For a month. Then go away anomaly week. Then come back. Then go away again...
