Snow Globe

Which purpose went out the window with the badge counter.
That one change eliminated the need for the badge collected series. Up until that point, you could say that you had at least X number of badges quickly.

Edit:
Like Lothic, Beef Cake, and many others here I will be earning the 500 badge when Issue 17 rolls out. I'll likely have the 750 badge quickly thereafter. As of tomorrow, my main badge collector will have 685 badges.

No, it stays with the original group.

1) No.
2) Still have none of the SG Healing badges.
3) There is no in-between. The new group will only have the progress they had before the character joined the group.

Well, I'm not going to "fight their introduction to the death", I just don't see the need for the badge count series (new or old) with the badge counter.

I've been here for nearly 5 years now and I think it is wonderful that there are people that have been around since the game's start.

Apparently Castle didn't get the memo either:
We now have a developer on record saying that something is horribly broken.

Check and mate.

There are a couple of marketers that I owe the following to:

I like the animated tails, and I've posted my opinions of the badges in the badge section of the forums.

Grinding does not equal growth.

As said above, the developers will not give you more slots for your powers, more powers, or more pools. Find other ways to improve. Inventions, try some obscure power set combination, try to defeat an AV solo, Get badges. or learn to PVP.

Can I laugh at the hypocrisy of this sentence?

You're going to have to explain the connection. Given the circumstances are completely different, your analogy either fails completely or disregards the fact that there is an infinite supply of widgets. The change in prices in the 1960s were cents a gallon, about the same as today. Only cents per gallon differences meant more in 1960 than it does today.

Even if it were remotely connected, there is the problem that you are dealing with a group that controlled production of the commodity in question. This is completely unconnected to the production reality in the game where the random number generator controls what is made and when.

So are you trying to prove the reason we should be given more information about the markets?

Might I suggest using a 4 GB to 8 GB USB memory stick?

Point two (Ultra mode & GR) wasn't specifically directed at you. I've read the entire thread and it keeps coming up.

This. While I applaud the idea of more exploration being rewarded, I don't want to have to get 100+ new badges just to have beacons to existing zones.

The new badge count badges: Meh. Did we really need epic badge count badges? Not really, we have a nice friendly badge count at the top of the badge info tab.

I hope the following have been added:

• Separate badges for components of the Vandal Badge. (+4 Villains)
• Separate badges for each of the invention crafting badges that require two different levels of crafts. (+36 to both sides.)
• Separate badges for each AV in the game (minus the ones who already has one). This should solve the Dimensional Warder issue for good. (This should be fairly equal to both sides.)
• Separate badges for fires and the hellions in the Steel Canyon Event (+3 Heroes.)

This list could add nearly 100 badges.

This is correct. Or make a back up of your game directory to DVD or other portable media (it can fit on a memory stick, for instance).

If you think the box will be available in April: Stop, do not pass go, and head back to the Original post. The box will be available in July, not April.

Ok, this is my annoyance with the original post: Going Rogue and Issue 17 are two separate things. Issue 17 will have Ultra Mode free of any extra charge beyond the regular monthly fee.

It should be a change in day/night cycle every 15 minutes.

13 Minutes day.
2 Minutes transition.
13 Minutes night.
2 Minutes transition.

I still use my first level 50 four years after getting there. My other 50s still get use.

Yes, I know this is a quality of life request. However teleport does have an option to disable the prompt. Standard code rant aside, given the number of disable prompts that already exist in the game, there shouldn't be too much of a problem to add one for this.

Congratulations on getting the badge.

Official Giant Monster Guides.

And a third one via Lt. Chalmers.

No, I've taken characters below level 10 into the RWZ. I've not checked Monster Island so that might not be level restricted anymore.

The Hive -IS- level locked to 45+. I just checked with several characters.

Edit:
Same goes for the Abyss.

You get mentoring credit because of the new super side kicking feature automatically sidekicks the team while outside missions, and to the mission hold while inside missions. So, yep, things have changed while you were not looking.

An account can only be kicked from a channel if they are on and connected to the channel. It doesn't matter if they are hidden or not. It is harder to kick a hidden account, but the channel moderator has to know the global account name.

Or:

• They are removed by a bona-fide moderator of the channel.
• The user accidentally or intentionally leaves the channel. (User error.)
• Another possibility exists where the global server accidentally removes an account.

The game shows a list based on a set of criteria (that I've not bothered to check into).

[edit]
There was likely someone that made a case to the GMs that the channel was full at one point and got it closed. You could probably /petition to get the channel re-opened as it is one of the defaults. However you'd likely have a ton of inactive accounts and the GMs will not deal with those.
[/edit]

And I've already explained why this cannot happen: The channel moderators cannot kick any account that isn't online. The GMs will NOT remove any inactive accounts from a global channel. The developers have said for the players to make a new channel in this instance.

Players (even channel operators) cannot rename global channels, likely to prevent griefing. GMs will likely not rename global channels for the same reason. My best advice? Join the new channel, stick with it and it will likely soon change to show higher on the list. Or talk to a community rep to see if the newer channels can be made "default", but I wouldn't hold much hope that you'll get satisfaction on the issue.

While I'm not (or ever was) on Virtue TFs, I think I can tell you from experience with Triumph Watch (Triumph's main badge channel) what is happening there. Of the 1637 accounts signed onto the channel 1619 are likely inactive. Those 18 that you see on? They're likely to be the channel moderators that help those that come back to migrate to the new, active channel and those in the process of transition to the new channel. How many active people were on Virtue TFs 2010? Likely many more than 18.

From what I can see, you are experiencing a version of Brockian Ultra Criket's rule three:
So you what you are complaining about is not being able to get onto closed channels because there might be someone that didn't move that might not have moved? If they didn't move they likely forgot that they've subscribed to the channel.

A channel search of "Virtue" should show all the channels and which has the most active people. Just join that.
