  1. My Fire/Kin is using the "Show Off" badge - one of the old AE badges you can't get anymore.

    I think it fits his personality

    On most of my Zombie <FoodPrepMethod/Attack> characters, I use Hamidon's Fury.

    I've always wondered why that is against the rules.

    You would think transparency and accountability would be a good thing.

    Consistency as well.

    I have no specific problem with that opinion.
    I guess that pretty much sums up my opinion on the matter, yes

    How a badge is awarded is irrelevant to the assertion that "if I can get it you can get it" because the actual words say the fact that I can get it by itself proves anyone else can. If I actually believed that, I wouldn't comment on whether the mechanics of a particular badge that people have already been awarded are reasonable. I don't. But if the fact that other players have been awarded the badge is both necessary and sufficient to prove a badge's requirements are perfectly fine, then it would be hypocritical to invent ad hoc exceptions to that rule that favor dismissing other people's objections while preserving one's own.
    All I was saying is that the criteria to get the badge is not set in stone and is arbitrary.

    It can be awarded or not awarded based on the decision of the person who gets to make the decision.

    Every other badge in game is completely on the shoulders of the player. There's a defined action that awards the badges.

    I'm happy for those who have gotten it. I still think it's a cruddy badge though

I have my own reasons for objecting to the design of other badges, which you are equally free to debate. But if you specifically choose to use the argument that if you can get it everyone else should, my assertion stands that this badge is not an exception.
    Bug Hunter is different though.

    Using the "If I can, you can" argument-

    Yes, if I run the Fortune Teller mission, I can get Spelunker. If you run the same mission, you can, too.

    If I run across an exploration badge, you can, too.

    Bug Hunter is awarded case by case.

    If I find a game breaking bug - such as a slash command to auto level to level 100 and have platinum enhancements, etc and report it and get Bug Hunter for that, you can't do the same. You can report the same bug I just did, but they already awarded the badge for that particular bug, they're not going to award it again - unless I'm mistaken on that.

    Either way, that's a badge I won't even get and I'm okay with that. I don't think it's fair to say that anyone can get it though - especially if it has to be awarded manually.

    Characters level 20+ receive "tip missions" from defeating NPCs level 20+

    If you look on your missions tab, you should see one that says Tips.

    You have to run 10 Tip missions + 1 Morality mission to change your alignment.

    You can only run 5 tip missions per day however.

    On day 2 you can run the Morality mission even after you have run the 5 tips.

    More information can be found on Paragon Wiki: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Alignment

    Thanks,
    You should see an icon on your map that says Studio 55.

    I'm pretty sure there's only 1 portal near bathroom doors in Pocket D but you never know!

    If you click on the map icon, it will set a waypoint for you to go to.

    And as the poster above me mentioned, try logging out and logging in. That can fix problems also

    It does award the corresponding badge for the other side, yes.

    However, it does not award the badges that you would have needed to get the accolade. You still have to earn those separately if you want them.
  12. The accolade powers from both sides do not stack.

    If you earn a hero accolade then switch to villain (and vice versa) you are automatically awarded the other side's version of the accolade power.

    If you were a hero, the "hero" versions will be greyed out and the villain versions will be active.

    I just started watching MLP (And I don't care who knows or makes fun of me for it!) and it was mostly because I found out there was a character named Derpy.

    And this was just the icing on the cake!

    In that trailer, Spark Blade definitely stole the show.

    I would love to see a sword powerset with elemental abilities!

    On a meleer I especially despise KB and do my best to negate as much as I can. YMMV in what is enough.
    My Fire/Kin has 20pts of Knockback protection >_>

    Overkill? Perhaps... >

    You mean, you're not supposed to do that?

You can be frustrated, irritated, agitated, or down-right infuriarated but don't tell the devs to nerf more badges cause that makes everyone a loser and puts the game on easy mode. And if you wanna play games on easy mode, go get yourself a My Little Pony game and get outta here cause you're ruining it for everyone else.
    . . . There's a My Little Pony game!?

    Can you play as Derpy? If you can play as Derpy, I'm sold!

    Seriously, please don't.
    Can we have Carnies in provocative poses? Or possibly Knives of Artemus?

    Also: requesting Hamidon in a bikini please. 2 piece is preferable, but I'll settle for a onesie if that will fly
  22. I'm not sure what's going on in this thread, but I'll throw out a bid of 2 goats and 3 chickens for the name Bob. Because as we all know... Bob is the most heroic name of all!

    Same here. Honestly, I take it on my Brutes to get more aggro so I can get more fury.
  24. I would love to have an oversized candy cane! Would've been perfect for the Holiday Pack!

    I wonder if they will do a Rularuu skin too.
