Dollymistress

I gathered about 20 people for Lusca and we defeated her. Only 1 person on each team received the badge. Everyone received merits.

Apparently this is a known bug? The teams were a mixture of Heroes and Rogues/Vigs. The team members who received the badge were not leaders and also none of them got the final killshot.

Weird. I hope a GM can award the badge to everyone who has defeated Lusca and (Deathsurge!) soon.

Update - the AV that is not counting is Nightstar. You need to get Nightstar from the old arc. Same mission as Siege.

Sigh. Here I go again...

I soloed the new Maria Jenkins arc, then defeated Anti-Matter in the old side mission.

I was irritated to find that Siege is not in the new Maria arc. So I had to go and start the old one as well, get to the third mission, and defeat Siege.

Still no badge.

I've beaten them all. Chimera, Nightstar, Bobcat, Battle Maiden, Black Swan, Neuron, (Malaise) + Mother Mayhem, Diabolique + Infernal, then Marauder + Dominatrix. Then Anti-Matter. Then Siege.

Nothing. What gives? Is one of the new Preatorians not counting?

A new rival yay!

Well done peep

Yay!

They took down the cheater in badge-hunter.com, leaving me top. Then we did the CoP and I finished my count on a great STF, saving the world from badges

Just to note I've been flagging up badge errors with Beefcake on badge-hunter.com. So far the only problems have been:

Spellbinding not awarding automatically for Rogues (will work for switched Heroes or if you petition)

Hero Slayer, Blackguard and Paragon of Vice morph into new badges and the changed names weren't verifying properly. Two are now fixed and hopefully Beef will fix Paragon of Vice today.

A lot of badges morph into fun things when a villain becomes full Hero. My favourite is Archvillain becoming Ex-Archvillain

Badge Hunter is also missing the alternate names for the Patron badges, but this isn't affecting verification.

UK time zones ftw!

What sucks is I know I'm at least 15 badges ahead of everyone else registered on badge hunter (which at this moment most likely means ahead of *everyone* "redside") but the site won't let me in to verify

Plus Cohtitan hasn't even bothered to update their badge lists so I can't verify there either.

Welcome back!

I'm a hero now, so you must be destroyed!

I just switched to full hero before maintenance with only a few minutes to spare.

At the moment I changed, a whole mass of badges were dumped on me. I now have both versions of each accolade badge - not the powers obviously just the badges.

I also gained a bunch of Gladiators and my old friend Multidimensional

Some of my badges switched from vill to hero version.

The weird thing is, I think I lost a few badges too. I think my Villainous AE badge became Heroic and my mission badges vanished. I only had like 1 minute to check so I will look again after maintenance.

Yep definitely broken. I will see what happens when I switch to full Hero.

A while back some villains tried to get Spellbinding by killing the Cabal Witch temp power tonnes of times. The Devs marked the badge as "Hero Only" to prevent this happening.

I think the "Hero Only" mark is still on the badge. I killed 333 Cabal last night on my Rogue to get it and didn't even get a progress bar. Nothing happened.

Please can someone remove the protection from this badge since it should be obtainable by Rogues collecting the Geas accolade.

The Fir Bolg and Croatoa Ghost badges are working fine.

Dollmistress has been spotted in Independence Port. Non-combatants are advised to seek earplugs

First Preatorain?!

Damn, let me grab my Preatoumbrella and put on a Preatoranorak

I still prefer "prattoran".



On a side note, I have counted 74 separate instances of the question "how do I switch sides?" in the BMT of Champion channel

Thanks for giving us something to pass the time!

These were really hard to do! I finally got them all, but jeez usually I am very good at magic eye pictures and these were much tougher to see properly.

It's possible they need two days to sort out big things like the market merger before releasing, or they could be putting through the patch now then as with winter events they flip a switch at midnight.

Which would suck for me. I'd need to sleep now then get up at 5am in the UK and play until work time, trying to get the first 5 tips done to a deadline!

For people who want to see some negative in this - if the patch does arrive early we can all cry about the lack of the promised Item Pack, which still isn't available at the NCSoft store

Damn all those peeps who didn't think ahead and took tomorrow off work, which is usually a dumb move since the servers aren't up with the new issue until after people are back form work anyway!

I'm going to be exhausted tomorrow morning if we get GR today. Which seems a bit inevitable at this point, seeing as the game splash screen is now the GR version..?

I'll clear it. Let me get over to blueside then I'll just whine and complain until the Devs remove the fog.

The day that booster packs include badges is the day that I may as well write the Devs a blank cheque or pass them my credit card and PIN.

That was a really good raid. I brought along a few players who had never heard of the RWZ raid (kids these days, sheesh!) and they all had fun.

I always try to get out of the shield before it goes back up, so I don't get teleported. For the first time ever, the green top of the shield decided to go up just before I escaped, leaving me trapped inside for a good 5 minutes.

I took some pics then flew back down into the bowl and after some jiggling around I was tped away

There is a lot less "traffic" then there used to be. Redside activity dropped once roughly around the time Ouroboros arrived and then again when the Architect system launched.

AE killed off quite a few players who were justing hanging in there feeling bored. They made some nice arcs, joined the ridiculous farms where you could get form level 1-50 in 30 minutes flat, made all the characters they ever wanted, played them for a few weeks, then quit.

A big wedge of the PvPers left after the PvP changes hit. But then, most PvPers tend to bounce from one good PvP game to another anyway, once interesting systems arrive in new games.


It might sound a bit weird to blueside players but I think the departure of Demoniker/Blackguard, two weeks after Issue 12 launched, was the moment when redside went into true decline. I don't think people appreciate how important that guy was for the Champ villain "community".

There's a massive hole in the server where the Blackguards SG, LOST SG, VORI SG and RAC SG used to be. In the past 2 years my SG has maintained roughly the same top 100 SG ranking on the server, despite me being its only active member. Back in 2006 this would have been impossible.

Whenever I visit blueside (which will be pretty often after Wednesday!) it feels like redside did back in Issue 7-9. A lot more busy, even if it has waned as well.

Players forget that there are still quite a few ex-players out there who left in protest becuase of things like the superbooster packs - some people really hated the idea of paying for new costumes and left when they saw the game was going that way.

I will be continuing to support Ghost Widow and Mercy Island.

I hope people realise that whenever they create a new alt in Preatoria, they are essentially creating someone who is not real and has a *proper* counterpart somewhere on Primal Earth. You will all be illegal aliens!

Personally I think they should have added a feature where you can only create Preatorians who are based on one of your existing characters :P

Wow nice.

On a related note - my Avatar seems to be broken. Surely no one would ban Dren? Is it just me or can't anyone see it?

Maybe imageshack is broken..?
