Was the "45-50" a quote from a redname, or was that an assumption for the new zone? I keep hearing all kinds of speculation, but no hard data.

Except he follows it up with this phrase "Sometimes you should not make decisions about what you think you might out of them, just about whether its worth doing something for its own sake." which explains his point quite well and helps everyone understand his point. Therefore, his analogy works fine.

But that's our point too. Long term collectors have a right to the old holiday badges that new collectors should never have. You'll still get holiday badges, but we'll always be one or two ahead of you.

It comes down to the simple fact that special events are just that, special. They shouldn't be repeated and you shouldn't have the opportunity to get those badges at a later time. Call it, for lack of a better pun, a badge of honor.

While I was around to get the Halloween 04 badges, I was in Iraq for both the Winter Lord and anniversary badges. While I'm very disappointed that I didn't get those badges because of my deployment, I, in no way, expect to have another chance to get them. I'm content getting the next holiday badge instead.

Just because your toon was created in 2006 doesn't mean you should have a chance to get a 2004 badge. Just because you were out of town during that event in 2004 doesn't mean you should get the chance to get the badges retroactively. You just have to make a choice about whether vacation time or playing the game is more important.

I actually hope you don't get a chance to get the Halloween 04 badges this Halloween. I take it as a point of pride that I have those badges from way back when. If they introduce a new event, there should be new badges as well. Think of it as "counting the rings" on your character when you pull up their information and see the Halloween 04 badges.

New badges: yes
Allow people to get old badges that I worked hard to get almost a year and a half ago: no

Just because my information says "looking for any team", my icon still says "not looking for team". I'm not going to change my information box every time I switch between the two. If I'm looking for a group, I'll put myself into "looking for any group" status.

The live chat with Statesman stated that the Passport badge will be activated when they allow cross-server transfers.

I had this in a separate post before I even noticed this thread (I know, how could I not notice)...

With the upcoming introduction of shifting from hero to villain, it's going to open up a ton more badges from the other side... between 100-200 new badges to earn (damn you for that, by the way... as if my OCD wasn't bad enough).

Is there a plan for introducing higher level "badges acquired" badges? Will there be a 300 and 400 badges badge?

Supergroup: Debt Collector

Currently, this supergroup consists of one very dedicated Debt Collector, Elyzabeth Dupre. She is a 37 blaster who is dedicated to single handedly building a remarkable and aesthetically pleasing base of operations. However, she is quickly realizing that she needs help.

The Debt Collectors are now recruiting. The only criteria is that the players must be active (inactivity of over 10 days without letting her know will result in kicking from the SG). In return, she will help level lower characters and donate influence to the cause of purchasing DOs and SOs.

If you're interested in joining, please contact Elyzabeth Dupre in game or globally @weezil2012
