A lot more than that. It will now take you 1 year and 2 months to get all the badges.

...on the same character.

Which brings us back to: consider the possibility that you actually aren't supposed to have every badge in the game on one character.

If I'd designed the system you'd only be able to get one accolade out of it, period. (You could "quit" and start on a new one, but you'd only ever have one at a time.)

[/ QUOTE ]

good for you, consider some of us since you know we pay too would like to earn more than one within a year. Then again we arent you so our opinions are obviously dont mean anything

why does everyone (mostly) want to just blow thru content? It seems ost want everythign right now.. I think the system is great the way its explained... They only problem i see is for people ( the few ) that only play one toon. If i am hooked on playing a toon all my other toons will be earning rested XP, bonuses and other rewards. Its a great idea and system.

I like it, I hope it stays as is...

[/ QUOTE ]

How is staying logged off a character "content"?

We are getting a mission architect, new stuff in Cimerora, and whatever else is thrown in. We are getting plenty of content. Don't punish badgers for wanting to complete their collections. 30 days is too long.

[/ QUOTE ]

Adding new badges to the game punishes badgers?

[/ QUOTE ]

adding more EPIC badges that take HOURS of farming is STUPID, you will be farming to earn these badges in a way, just no actually on your toon.

I have a main named hatter he is my badge toon i like to do all the new story archs in the game im slowly going through and finishing every single one and i plan to do all the new ones with him. But the more i play this guy the more im penalized against these badges if i want to earn even 1 of these accolades

[ QUOTE ]
Consider this, if my main toon is my fav toon i would like to play him so earning any one of these badges is going to take a long long long time.

Assuming you do things like work, eat and sleep, you are probably spending upwards of 12 hours a day not playing CoH. At least, hopefully. I'm probably averaging around four hours a day in game, not nearly all on the same character, and I work out of the house with a lot of down time.

Exactly how many hours a day do you expect to play your "fav toon"?

[/ QUOTE ]

lets say i play 7 hours a week 28 hours a month now it will take 720 hours to earn this badge that means if i play my toon. that means every time i play this toon for about an hour on average a week its going to add an extra day till i get this badge.

Considering i do have a life and when i play a game i might want to EARN some rewards and not just be encouraged not playing my fav toons.

but of course your just going to say this is a great idea, but no matter how much you try and change my mind, these values are TOO HIGH 60 days to earn an accolade and i use the term EARN loosely

[ QUOTE ]
Congrats on killing badging for me. I am still working on the pillbox badges now i have to log out to earn those for a year, how is my badge toon supposed to get played?

i remember seeing some where that the day job badges were linked to costumes

[/ QUOTE ]

Day job badges are NOT linked to costumes.

The day job related costumes are free, unlocked at the start, content in Issue 13.

And the 30 days is what we are initially going with. The values may change in beta.

[/ QUOTE ]

thank you for the response

but i still think 30 days per badge is ALOT of time logged off to earn something

[ QUOTE ]
Shorten the time needed to earn the badge at least make it like 5 days of logged out that way i can actually earn some of this stuff the costume options with them for the toons I PLAY

[/ QUOTE ]
5 days is much too short IMHO. I think there is already enough low-hanging fruit badge-wise to sate most players. I'm kind of happy to have something that requires a little more patience to obtain, and can't easily be trivialized by farming.

In other news, hjow can I become the Good Humor Man?

[/ QUOTE ]

30 days to earn a badge from not playing the game? to earn a badge and costume is not hard, its not challenging but annoying, if i want that nifty suit for a new toon i have to log out of him for 30 days before i can get said costume, its not like i have to earn it or do a mission or actually do something.

[/ QUOTE ]
Are the costumes even related to the day job badges? I don't remember seeing the red name post that states this.

30 days for a badge logged out, that seems a wee big excessive. 60 days to get an accolade and 1 year logged out at LEAST to earn all the badges.

The server and character selection backgrounds look like they're in the Ouroboros zone instead of the original backgrounds. How was that customized?

[/ QUOTE ]

There is a program designed by a COH user to do this. I can't find it currently, but I know someone around here probably can.

You can change the load in screen, character selection screen, etc. Believe people even changed their music.

I generally have a lot of respect for your opinions, but implying that anyone who dislikes the decision made by marketing in this instance is somehow being unreasonable is simply something I can't agree with.

[/ QUOTE ]

I never said that. I said I believe (and still believe) that the majority of reasonable players don't begrudge NC for creating exclusive marketing giveaways.

There are lots of decisions that either the dev team or NCsoft in general make that I either disagree with, or which go against my personal preferences (which are two different things). But thats not the same thing as saying I believe they are idiotic, incompetent, ignorant, unresponsive, or poor decision-makers every time they make a decision I disagree with.

I'm disappointed I missed the last double XP weekend. I do not believe NCsoft had an obligation to check with my schedule first. I can be disappointed in something without thinking that that fact alone makes the source of my disappointment deficient.

I also stand by my assertion that it is unreasonable to presume that being disappointed in a circumstance carries with it the presumption that someone made an error to create that circumstance. If I end up not getting the costume option, I'll be disappointed. It won't change my mind that NCsoft is being completely reasonable in its approach to marketing exclusives. I'm saying that with the full knowledge that there is very little probability of NCsoft being at a public venue anywhere within two thousand miles of me.

So after the ridiculous amount of time put into this game to get these rewards, I get a VEAT hemlet and access to powers that I already had access to? I take Sands of MU and Nemesis staff because I DON"T WANT the black wand or ghost Ax. Would it of hurt to give us two new attacks.....really? This is a whole new level of recycling. There is already SO much recycled in this game, used over and over and over....it's a big reason why it is feeling old and and outdated to me. This is just more of the laziness that wears away at the games integredy. If the Devs don't want to actually put forth the ffort and time into vet rewards, we shouldn't even have them. Two GIGANTIC thumbs down.

Also, if they were going to recycle existing stuff once again, simple choice between boxing or kick would have been better than this. The version that brawl uses that doesnt cause redraw.

[/ QUOTE ]

i miss the day when we didnt have vet rewards that way people like this couldnt complain about something given extra

My global is mad hatter man, because of copy write laws my toon named the same thing was changed to Generic hero blah blah blah, he had a name in latin that meant peak of hate for a while till name character name changes came out then was named Hatter, when they nerfed his name i renamed it to Hatter Zero for a while then they had the last global name reset so i changed it back to Mad Hatter Man, but now that his name is just Hatter, i plan on changing it to that if its not taken

Because it's scheduled to happen every day.

Not true. It's only scheduled for Mondays and Fridays. Any other day there's maintenance, its for a patch, or for a problem.

What does the Real Numbers windoid show for minions and pets, out of curiousity?

[/ QUOTE ]

It shows what powers they have. If you click one of the powers in their list, it expands to show all of its detailed information too.

Folllow up question.

Does it show in Tier 1 Thugs that even though defense debuffs are able to be slotted they have no defense debuffs in their attacks?

Shields though is a VERY specific power that only one character I know of uses: Captain America. So I can see why that wouldn't be included when its a pretty obvious infringment/ripoff.

[/ QUOTE ]

Um...no. Captain America does not corner the market on shields. There are a ton of concept characters that could be made using shields. There's a ton that will be made using DB too. The point was that DB did not win the poll. It was just the easier one to implement. Personally, I'm glad they're adding any new set at this point. The devs have really been too slow at getting new sets in the game. They need to add these two, and then a lot more.

[/ QUOTE ]
Didn't DB win the poll and Willpower the one that was easiest to implement that scored the highest (since Shields won that part?)

[/ QUOTE ]

correct

[ QUOTE ]
No need to be hesitant in throwing out ideas. They might fly, they might not, they might spark someone else. For the record, my Arch/Elec only have E-Fence, Build Up and Shocking Grasp (as opposed to my Elec/Elec/Elec, who was a Blapptroller). You can run Rangers. Gimp is a state of mind. Except in PvP where you have to have the right build or you're boned. But that's a rant for another day. But it would be nice to have more things like Power Boost and Conserve Power and the like.

[/ QUOTE ]

and boost range, hell boost range should be in a epic somewhere so blasters of all forms can choose it

and my elec/energy blapper is very good in pvp, its not about the build its about how you can play your build and if you have a team or not.

unless your in the arena but i hate arenas

$9.99 is great for the online buy

However, my wife likes collecting the boxes, so whereas I will probably purchase the code online (depending on how much I save or not, I may just get the box); but my wife will definitely want a box for the "tangibles".

Any price yet on the in-store box?

i HEARD around 30, hopefully circket will give us the info
