Snow Globe

You can still get the Vandal badge, there just isn't a progress bar. Also you might find this information useful:

If you have one side's version of the following accolades, you will get another when you fully switch:
Portal Jockey Badge <-> Born in Battle Badge
Archmage Badge <-> Demonic Badge
Geas of the Kind Ones Badge <-> Force of Nature Badge
Conspiracy Theorist Badge <-> Headline Stealer Badge
Freedom Phalanx Reserve Member Badge <-> High Pain Threshold Badge
Task Force Commander Badge <-> Invader Badge
Received the Atlas Medallion Badge <-> Marshal Badge
Vanguard Badge <-> Megalomaniac Badge

You will get each badge's power. You will not automatically get the prerequisites though.

No, you cannot "double dip" the red & blue accolade powers.

If you are a hero then the villain accolade powers are non-functional (dimmed/greyed out). If you are a villain then the hero accolade powers are non-functional (dimmed/greyed out). If you change alignments later, then you have to swap out the power icons, use a different power tray, or use the available power names in your binds (for the powers that are not automatic).

===================

Finally, we know the firefighter dual progress bars are broken. Until they get fixed, I doubt we'll see others.

You missed where I said this:
When you earn a badge, you will keep it. There are no "take backs" at this point.

Heroes can get 6 more Day Job badges from locations that only exist in the Rogue Isles and Villains can get 6 more Day Job badges from locations that only exist in Paragon City and the Shadow Shards. You can get credit for these as a vigilante or rogue, but the badges for these locations will only be granted when you fully switch sides.

As a Vigilante you can earn credit (but not the badge) for:

• Pilot
• Crey Employee
• Arachnos Agent
• Smuggler
• Arachnos Official
• Demagogue

As a Rogue you can earn credit (but not the badge) for:

• City Official
• Law Enforcer
• Commuter
• Shop Keeper
• Dimensional Explorer
• Intern

Any accolades linked with these badges cannot be earned until you are on the appropriate side. In other words 6 x 21 more days of getting day job progress AND the need to fully switch sides.
==============
You will not lose any badges you have earned.

With some badges you have to switch fully to the other side to get them.

You can earn any blue marked badge listed above only as a hero or vigilante. You can earn any red marked badge listed above only as a villain or rogue.

Compare the versions. Blondeshell added the information that the original poster was requesting -- badges that were missing from that list at the time of the original post.

Added to that section:
* [[Willy Wheeler#Defeat all Arachnos Personnel|There's a Sucker Born Every Minute]] (level 19)
* [[Lorenz Ansaldo#Take Down Sea Witch|Carpe Diem]] (level 24)
* [[Darrin Wade#Go over the plan|Midnight Draws Near]] (level 29)

They have a window that pops up too.

I don't seem to be explaining myself clearly or you are ignoring what I'm saying. You can't call the power menus. They may use a call window function, but that is a completely separate call than a popmenu call.

They might be compatible code, but no one knows outside the development team, and they are not going to answer questions about them.

I agree with this.

The pophelp has some similarities, but there isn't anything that is useful (they have to be called by something else).

As for the powers, I'm nearly 100% sure they are dynamically generated. All of the bracketed links are just that: links. Basically you are seeing a generated popup, just as you would in HTML.

That idea is a much better suggestion than I was given (not by anyone on Triumph): to fight in the hallways. That idea sucked.

I'm glad that the fighting in the entrance is a good tactic, and one I'll remember if needed.

Assign 2 other keys to the same function. Probably more hassle than it is worth, given the short command.

I would highly agree with this.

The CoP, in my experience, requires 3 good teams.

Take a look at how I eventually got it: Red Side CoP Friday Sep 10, 7pm Pacific
We ended up not needing Nukes to get the job done.

Same here. I think it is fantastic that one of my entries was included as a runner up. A hearty congratulations to the top placed winners and runners up!

You need at least one carriage return before the first menu.

This (no bottom or back) is to speed up graphics rendering. If the items had bottoms or backs the game would still have to process the unseen side, this would bog down the graphics engine and the developers would either have to further limit the amount of objects that could be put into the base or up the minimum requirements to only the top end video cards.

Fair enough.

I would still caution whoever is or will be on the committee to be as forthright and open as possible. I'm not saying that everything has to be disclosed (and from personal experience that isn't always possible), but without openness this will be doomed. Make use of some of the tools the admins have and can provide: Polls, Stickies, Official Announcements, etc.

Sorry about that. We had to boot you to actually proceed in the second mission. We figured what had happened to you. The team didn't get the badge, so you only missed out on the Inf/Prestige.

I guess I wasn't clear. I am staying.

1) I love this game. I'm not going anywhere else anytime soon. My subscription is active until late summer 2011 at this point. I'm also not going to quit either the base or badge communities, even though I refuse to waste my time with stacking. I feel I have better uses for my time. Like I said in this thread, I'm taking a wait and see approach to the committee, but I am disappointed in how it came about.

2) Sadly, the Scoop in the form it was last seen is likely not coming back due to many technical issues. Something might take its place, but that remains to be seen.

3) I would love for everyone to have the opportunity to build their own lair/base in addition to the larger super group bases. I've never been against it, but without the developers making it a priority I don't see it getting done anytime soon.

Actually that list that Lothic pointed to was only for the stand alone missions, and not the ones that the original poster was asking for. Blondeshell didn't add the arc missions to that list until 4 days after the post you quoted from me. And even then it isn't complete at the moment.

I am cautiously optimistic, but the past neglect of this community is also playing into this feeling.

I really wish the development and OCR teams had come to that conclusion several years ago.

Ocho, the sticking point was that there was zero input from the community. I understand that doing the initial work forming the group can be done without extensive input, but at this point it does feel like they've went behind the community's collective back with this. There is also the built up cynicism that anything will actually be accomplished due to some very long standing base issues, some of which date back to 2005 and CoV's launch.

It is very hard to obtain validation when the group the committee is trying to represent distrusts said committee because they were not up front with what they were doing. This thread essentially "outed" them.

I realize that Dead West isn't likely to be a professional spokesperson, but throughout this thread he talks of three distinct groups: The development team (including the OCR team), the base committee they are working on, and the community. However given some misrepresentations and wording it is hard to feel "included" at all:

"We/Our" for the committee compared with "you guys" for the community. This doesn't exactly demonstrate inclusiveness.

This is a gross misrepresentation. For the last 2-3 years (starting around Issue 8 or 9), we've had a single cohesive thread (even sanctioned by stickying to the top of this section of the forums), with a consolidated list of issues and concerns. A single voice of organized concerns that have lasted pretty much intact without any response. The same person that publically made the badge issues threads (before I took those over, with his help) in the exact same format.

Here Dead West is pretty much saying what the committee will do before consulting the community they are saying they are trying to represent. It sounds like they are going to be putting personal bias on the concerns.

What Master-Blade has said is correct: you are looking at your Super Group's badge list, not your personal badge list. If you were looking at your personal list, then it would say "Supergroup Badges" instead of "Personal Badges".
