I'll get the room ready so we can lock him in it with Perfect_Pain, while you guys slip the drugs into his food and water.

Quote:Well we now know what triggered it: They changed the back-end to fix inconsistencies when handing out the rewards. So it was nothing we, as players, did.Originally Posted by Psychic Guardian
However I've never purchased one of their subscription promotions (6month 1 free/12month 2 free or whatever), so that wasn't what triggered it for me.

Quote:A few days ago I had two people in the closed beta thread tell me that the Mo badges build community.Originally Posted by Nericus
Bottom line, imo: the game needs new Mo badges like we all need to have a hole drilled through our heads. I'm sure they can come up with something better in terms of new badges.
From my point of view, they promote:
- IO snobbery. If you don't have a pile of set bonuses, you are deemed somehow less of a player and are less likely to find a Mo team.
- Sub-category is lack of Purple or PVPIO slotting.
- Blaming people on the team for the least little mistakes.
- Hurt feelings from those that are either blamed or who doesn't have a right build.
- AT snobs (I've heard "we don't want any blasters on this attempt" and that is just one AT that suffers from shunning.)
- An "Us vs Them" mentality when it comes to badges. <-This is NOT good for the community as a whole.
I suspect that when the Incarnates system comes in that you'll be less likely to be admitted to a Mo team if you are not an Incarnate.
Then there is the problem of creating a team. Most people are interested in quick merits. This means speed runs of ITFs, LGTF (the irony here is thick), even speed Positrons (the flashback version is going to get its merit rewards nerfed to nothingness, as I know people are already saying that they'll do them under 90 minutes), and others.
Agreed.Quote:Originally Posted by starphoenix
The Mo badges cause more frustration and bad feelings than any other part of the game. Getting to the last boss on a Mo SF/TF makes everyone severely irritated at the person who died. - IO snobbery. If you don't have a pile of set bonuses, you are deemed somehow less of a player and are less likely to find a Mo team.

Quote:I think I spent at least 12 hours, possibly closer to 20 myself. I just love zooming around the zones in Ultramode.Originally Posted by Lemur Lad
Like Snow Globe said, if you're strapped for things to do, then go find the Explorations without the aid of this list or the Map Pack. I found about 6 of them myself and looked for several others for a grand total of about 5hours. And I know a lot of other people spent more time at it than I did. I remember Leandro taking a TON of time finding Dead End.

If there's a specific problem, or you're unable to purchase what you want, send me a forum pm with the URLs, any screenshots if possible, and the steps you're taking.
I'll look into it for you.
I know for a fact that there is a demand that the NCsoft store is NOT meeting, that requires no art time, and no (game) programming. It would take a bit of programming, but on the accounts/web team's part. The only thing needed is to be able to generate codes for people to pay for. What am I talking about?
- CoH Collector's Edition in-game goodies. VIP/Destined One badge, Prestige Power Slide temp power, and the Cape of the Four Winds costume piece.
- CoV Collector's Edition in-game goodies. Arachnos cape and chest symbol.
As a suggestion, get a programmer to bundle the above into a new Original Collector's Editions In-game Goody Pack code for people to throw money at Paragon Studios. -
Quote:Like this, perhaps?Originally Posted by Black Pebble
In-game advertising is tricky. For every player who thinks it's cool, I'd bet there's a player who feels like it breaks the immersion for them. Even targeted advertising can be tricky. I have a friend who plays CoH who'd much rather see diaper ads vs computer ads. Just not interested in tech.
If we ever did it, we would make sure it works for everyone. I don't think any of you would like to see something haphazard, no matter how cool it could be.

Quote:This is the first time any account bug hit me that I know of.Originally Posted by Kheldarn
Seriously, though. I've had to petition for my last 3 Vet Rewards, and all three times, I told them that the system is broken, and needs to be fixed...
Well, I would have gotten my 60 month reward on May 24th anyways. However I might get 63 on May 12th if the pattern holds. On the other hand my vet reward time stopped in February, according to the account page even though my paid time ends around the middle of June.Quote:Originally Posted by Kheldarn
At least they're items I won't miss (too much) when they're removed...
I wonder if the cause was the bonus subscriptions (12months+2 free). -

Quote:And on the flip side, I expect there will be badges for changing alignment. So it would be mutually exclusive to try to have both.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
But also we suspect there will be badges for never going rogue, so it could be impossible to get every badge.
And I highly doubt that Incarnate Rewards are tied to "staying true", as it were. -
Quote:Well, they broke my account around 11 pm Pacific last night. I know because I was on at the time. Having the 60 month badge pop in a 1.5 Months early came as a bit of a shock.Originally Posted by DumpleBerry
Mine is permanently broken, with dates all over the place. Sometimes they have to break your vet history, just to get your current stuff working again. Per CS, they are tracking the issue thought they haven't figured out what it is yet.
After checking my NCsoft account page, they have thoroughly messed up my account and vet rewards times.
The exact same thing as described here is what happened to my account, except that I know the Vet Reward/Paid Time is completely off.Quote:Originally Posted by Myriad
A few hours ago I got three more badges which weren't due (well actually one of them was due tomorrow, I think) and when I checked my history log I noticed that my history log was completely changed. Now I have the history log in 3 month iterations from the date my account was created. This includes the timeframe when badges didn't exit and the months when my account was cancelled (I took a break from CoH a good while before badges were introduced to the game). Plus the given value of total paid time is much too low. Vet reward time seems to be largely ok, might be a month off, though (too low - can't verify because the history dates were altered). -

I haven't but I'd like to at least try.I fully agree with you, yet this seems to fit War Witch's comment that we've not found all the "goodies". Especially since she specifically mentioned the RWZ in that MMORPG.com interview.Quote:Originally Posted by Nericus
Haven't found any yet, kind of hope there are not any more. There is enough of them already, imo.

Quote:Yeah, I was supposed to get my 60 month Vet Reward on May 24th. I got a reward announcement last night at 11 pm Pacific that I earned the 60 month reward. After checking my account, the page said I earned the 60 month reward in February. It shows that I've 3 box codes (CoV Collectors, CoH Collectors, and the Architect Retail), but only have two months difference between paid and vet time.Originally Posted by Mystic_Fortune
Heh, imagine logging in to find you've just earned the 57 and 60 month vet badges as well as earning the right to select a travel power at level 6.. Something I've been wanting ever since it was announced..
..sigh I want it BAD.. but I guess I'll just have to wait until November to earn it legitimately..
Ticket filed.
They really need to tell whoever is working on the accounts problems that they shouldn't play around with live customer data, but test any fixes on duplicate data. -

Quote:Why? All the explore badge names are listed on the accolade hint for each zone, and I'm pretty sure that the old badges are listed before the new badges on each hint.Originally Posted by GavinRuneblade
Interesting. That will make it a bit confusing to get teleport beacons as there are now essentially two classes of explore badge: Teleport badges and accolade only badges.
Find a single badge, look at the accolade progress bar, and go from the beginning of the listed badges. -
Quote:I have no control over their marketing hype. I'd suggest that any disagreement between the amount of available Issue 17 badges and the overview page be given the proper weight of the electrons needed to supply said message.Originally Posted by Dark One
And yet, funnily enough, they felt it was necessary to include it in the Issue 17 Overview.
-
Quote:That will not be able to be earned until July and GR, thus not an Issue 17 badge.Originally Posted by Dark One
Crossover from Hero -> Villain and Villain -> Hero. Nevertheless, the Overview page does indeed say a 1000 badge badge.

Quote:Find the badges without the list. Then do both the villain arcs, then both the new hero arcs, then run the revamped Positron TF.Originally Posted by graystar_blaster
alll in all though this i17 looks like about 3 hours of stuff to do.

Quote:Only the original badge in PI grants the TP beacon.Originally Posted by GavinRuneblade
Are there any new ways to get the teleport beacons? Meaning, in peregrine there used to be just the one badge, now there are three or four. Does only that one old badge give the beacon or can you get any one badge?
The requirements of the beacons have stayed exactly the same. -
Quote:Not that I know of. I'm pretty sure we've found all the new explore badges.Originally Posted by WoefulKnight
Terra Volta? Anything new there?

Quote:Hah! I was wondering if someone else found the irony in the complaint.Originally Posted by DumpleBerry
*shrug* Folks are deliberately reading a thread about imminent new content that hasn't hit yet. It's all spoilers, and they should know it.

I just wanted to let people know that the new Issue 17 explore badges do not seem to be needed to get any of the Base TP beacons.
-
Quote:With just the explores, and missing the Nigh Invulnerable badge, I was able to hit 750 with just the new explores and explore accolades. I didn't even have to do the new missions or the new version of the Positron's TF.Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
Snow Globe has already compiled a guide detailing the additional badges being added... I think I counted 54 new Hero-side badges? Regardless, you shouldn't have any trouble hitting 700 in the next couple weeks, and you'll quite possibly be able to reach 750 before Going Rogue is released.

Quote:Beef Cake (Badge Hunter/Vidiotmaps.com) and SaintNicster (City Info Terminal) are both aware of the list, and will be updating their sites.Originally Posted by JayboH
Will these be added to the Badge Hunter website?
Beef Cake has said that the Map Pack will be updated as well.
