Ah, see I would've never guessed that at all....lol
Well once I get everything tweaked out and working properly, I will venture into that verification area. Not sure what I plan to do with that yet.
I may do away with meeting in game due to the fact that there are so many badges now a days. I may just change it up a bit and have people post screenshots of their badge window that was it can be done whenever versus trying to have everyone's schedule available to have it done.

That's a good idea, but how would that work with explorations badges (as they all look identical), and gladiators for that matter.

Good point. I don't know honestly, I will think of something
I'm just trying to avoid meeting in game, mainly for the GR part hen it goes live, to sit there and look at over 1000 badge and check on the site is going to be real time consuming.

I know the ideal would have been the City Vault, but that seems doomed for the present.

Just thinking out loud, but is there any way for Badge Hunter and CIT to "share" data? Even on a temporary basis?

Instead of screenshots of the ID badge window, just submit screenshots of the badge menu window. That gives all the names, and in a known order.

To be honest, most people can run HS, and auto verify themselves, its usually just a user error why they can't get it working. I've spoken with loads of people in game and in emails and PMs on settign this up and working out their problems getting it set up and afterwards they are good to go. I have come across a handful of people that just wasn;t puter savy at all. All they knew how to do was load the game and play
But its all good, I will figure something out.

Well the problem with that is, we would have to share information between both sites and work out the differences before that would work. It would most likely be too much work, and by the time we did do all the work, people would have already had their characters verified

I'm talking about an SQL export/import of characters, global names, and their verified collected badges. That should be a less difficult operation than a "merger".
|
Getting people to create their characters and reverify isn't a problem at all, most are ok with it since the site is new and it would be nice to test out the new server under load as well. So there are many reason why the data dump won't be done. Although it would be nice. I would rather not.
I kinda wanna put the new site to the test so to speak make sure it can handle what I need it to. But GR will be the true test I think.

Both my badgers are already recreated and I've put in all the badges they have. Now I just need HeroStats so they can be verified.

I know that there are some people who absolutely refuse to use CIT/Titan. Granted, I don't know/remember why, but they do exist.
I would also think that in this day and age of "internet privacy," if either of the sites were to just share user information, **** would hit the fan.
I am curious as to reasons for using one site over the other. I figure part of it is a community aspect, but I still don't know. The forums over at Titan tend to be very quiet, and it's hard to gather feedback there.

Personally, I don't like the whole Titan Key thing, instantly signing me up for things I don't want/care about, like CoH Faces, or access to edit the Wiki. If there were an option during TK creation to check a box for the parts of the TN that I want my TK to work with, and the ability to check/uncheck them at a later date if I change my mind, I probably wouldn't care.
Then, too, I've been using Badge-Whoré/Hunter since before Beef took over.

I think a lot of people use both. I even use both, I may not update both at the same time or forget one or the other, but I use them both.
Some people do have a preference and may like one over the other, but thats the luxury of choice I guess
But both sites do the same thing, one may have a feature that the other doesn't, but thats to be expected.

Also, access to the wiki is just a route for the login process. No profiles, nor really any emails unless you use it.
But eh, you can't win them all. Thanks for at least explaining
On a side note, I personally wish we could burn faces to the ground and sow salt into the ground it stands on. But then again *shrugs* some people like to use it, and therefore we keep it up in a low-priority mostly maintenance mode.

Funny story, I just checked, and you don't have a faces profile unless you actually visit it. Even then, if you don't add pictures, I'm pretty sure the profile would disappear into obscurity fairly quickly.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
I figure it'll be a good backup one way or the other in case one site is down and I need to check something real quick. I never even noticed how often I used the pages until now that I don't have the information store anywhere. I keep checking to see which badge I still need for an accolade, or quickly checking which one of my toons has not yet done certain TFs/Tasks... and I'm disappointed. lol
Well hopefully everything will be back to normal soon.. and better than ever!

In their defense, our "documentation" (if it even exists) absolutely sucks.

I noticed it the day I created my City Info Tracker account (last week).
It might say it somewhere else too, but I have not really dug into the site much yet.

New! If you are not currently linked to a Titan site, simply visit the site you want to be a part of, and log in with your Titan Key. Through internet wizardry, you will automagically have a valid, working account on that site, and the site's icon will appear below! Note: If you had an account on a Titan site prior to July 15, 2008, please drop a line to support@cohtitan.com with your account details, and we will manually link your legacy account to your Titan Key. |
And LOL @ "automagically".
Badge-Hunter is still down.
Why does it taunt me..
In the words of Philip J. Fry, fix it, fix it, fix it!

According to the domain registar, the badge-hunter and vidiotmaps domains should be settled in the next 3 days. So everyone including myself will have to wait.
Trust me of all people, I can't sit still and will be filling my swear jar until this is working....lol
