But I like the Red button one.

On the bright side, it looks like there's only one badge I have left to earn.

Better get a screenshot of the rest of my pretty pretty badges I've worked for before I lose the other 67.

yeah it is [censored], although I am glad some of the mad grinding badges are gone, those kick [censored] names are leaving which makes me a sad panda.

Saw it coming a mile away.

the writing was on the wall for this bar none. Some people flaming away some support and some just "meh" so it is status quo. Although I am depressed I am back under 600 on my vill but. To a certain degree they did the right thing to break the grieving that was happening with HoF badges.

I'm going to miss the names too but, it's going to be awesome not having to grind for some of those badges. Woot.

And hopefully it will keep the 0-star griefers out of my arcs!

It may decrease the number, but good riddance.

I'll miss some titles and would rather the non-popularity badges had their numbers fixed instead of just being pulled, but I'll live. I suspect it's far more trivial for the Devs to write a script to revoke badges than it is to go in and edit their requirements, which may have to be done manually.


@Exabecquerel | 50s:
1 corr (fire/kin), 1 widow (tuna), 3 MM (bots/ff, demons/dark, demons/traps), 2 brutes (ss/wp, kin/sr)
1 def (kin/dp), 2 trollers (fire/rad, earth/storm), 2 scrappers (spines/dark, kat/sr)

I agree with the devs on this. Though some badges I am going to miss!

However, we want badges to be something that everyone can obtain. We also want badges to be completely within a player’s grasp, so no outside influence should affect earning these badges.

I vote to remove "Bug Hunter" from the list because it is not something everyone can obtain and is not within a player's grasp.

Side note, isn't everyone who actually has it a Dev kiss up?

I dunno. I think it's pretty lame. I'm not a badger by any stretch of the imagination (but I like 'em) but I think the developers continual stance on punishing the players for mistakes that *they should've thought through a little better in the first place is ridiculous. Between deleting MA PLed toons, yanking badges from the 5th anniversary and the MA are all problems that they certainly had license to solve before they went live. I can understand lowering limits on or removing the super ridiculous badges, but all of them? I don't agree with it.

This reminds me of the time when we use to have stars under our names on these forums. Badges are fun to work towards to, but some of these badges are very difficult for the average player to achieve. The devs are right in removing some of the badges because most players don’t feel the need to create a story arch’s much like most don’t PVP.

An alternative could be using tickets to unlock higher level badges or those that are harder to achieve. This would really help the AE system but it still won’t solve farming maps. Unless they award more tickets upon the mission completion.

I'm glad they are getting rid of the ones that require so much grinding to get. Hopefully they will remove or reduce some of the others, like the healing badges.

I would wager this move will have very little effect on 0- and 1-star griefers.
