I beileve they said "no", but you can get the badge.
Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.
Ok but how would it work then?
If you earn a Hero Accolade first are you only going to be able to earn hero ones?
Or is it when you're a Hero/Vig you can use the Hero ones and when you're a Vill/Roug you get to use the Vill ones?
I'll let you know for sure after August 17.

If I were the programmer, I'd make the power grey/inactive on the other side. That would prevent them from stacking. It would also make you re-earn certain powers if you switch, but that's the price you pay for switching sides. haha
Or, if we wanted to be more "fair", they would simply allow us to keep our accolades after switching, and allow us to earn all the badges, but the accolade powers themselves would be blocked if you already earned the other version of it from the opposite side.
Quote:
It was mentioned in passing that accolades and badges with an equivalent on the other side will be switched when you switch sides, eg. Marshal = Atlas Medallion, Unbroken Spirit = Relentless. Badges and accolades without an equivalent (eg. most of the exploration badges) will be kept when you switch.

Why do players ask questions they KNOW cannot be answered because of NDA? It happens every single closed beta. If someone knows, they cannot answer you.

No I didn't already KNOW that was covered by the NDA. Since so many "facts" have leaked out or been hinted at in so many different formats. What sparked the question was a member of my SG was doing the Atlas Med. and it just started the conversation. I figured that maybe someone did already know and could share that knowledge.
So sorry to ruffled your feathers. So sorry to post a question in a forum called player questions. So sorry that you had to waste your time just to respond to little ol' me. But here's an idea for you; next time you see a post by me just skip it. Then you won't have a case of the "Oh noos not again".
Have a peachy day!!!!

It is also safe to assume that any release of official badge information will be posted to the Badges and Gladiators section of the forums almost as soon as it is revealed.
In fact I fully expect a lot of information will be revealed next week with the San Diego Comic Con.
As to people asking questions during closed beta it happens a lot. I really feel for those in the closed beta as I am sure that they would love to be able to answer everyone's questions about the new content. If they did, they would risk getting kicked out of beta, and that isn't fun for anyone.

I think it's also safe to assume that not everyone is as forum savvy as the all-knowing, lacking-in-patience, Snow Globe. So when they ask a question, a reasonable one at that, in the Player Questions forum, they don't need to be reprimanded and beat over the head for asking a good question.

Based on the fact Epic Pools don't allow for copies of the same power from sets, it stands to reason you will not be able to stack the accolades. They are the same powers with different names and requirements.

This would be my guess as well. As i recall accolades and many other badges that have faction specific names were set up well over a year ago so that the displayed name is based on your faction. While some badges are/were restricted to either hero or villain the various accolade powers are identical on both sides and it's just the displayed badge name and unlocking requirements that differ.|

So the accolade powers are the same power whether you're a hero or villain with the displayed badge for the accolade/power based on your faction regardless of how it was originally unlocked. Once you have the power unlocked it doesn't matter if you meet the unlock criteria a second time since it points to the same power. (Sort of like how i get the "Epic Archetype Unlocked" message every time i got another alt to 50 (err, now it's 20) even when they are one of the Epic ATs.)
At least that's how i think it works. It's been a couple years since i recall reading the discussions about accolade powers.

The information in question is not covered by the NDA. It has been stated in the open forums by a developer that accolades will not stack. Instead, what will happen is that if you switch sides, any accolade power will be replaced by its opposite-side equivalent (all heroic accolade powers have a villain-side equivalent, and vice versa).

I've got to admit it. I don't "search" the forums for answers that I know are in there "somewhere". I've found that when I do search, I get about 20 to 40 links and the time to click and read through all those is more than I care to waste. If I have a question about future game details, I'll ask it here. Player questions. I'm a player, I've a question, I'll come here.
The majority of the folks who respond are typically quite knowledgeable and seem to enjoy posting, as they usually have a large number of posts to their credit.
Now, Snow, I know that your question was rhetorical. You weren't actually expecting an answer. And I can understand your exasperation, wondering why people aren't using the forums the way they should and could. The simple answer is that some folks just want an answer. They don't want a lesson in when to use quote marks in the search field and when to use and/or.
Some of us would rather play then post. To each his own.
But, as a fellow who's been raked over the coals on the forums before, gotta think hard before asking rhetorical questions!
Now, can't we all just roll an ice blaster and play the game?

Thanks for understanding why I posted what I did. I mean it happens every single closed beta. The longer the beta, the more of this type of question happens. Sometimes, like the original poster here, the intent is to see if there is something that they've missed. Other times the intent is to troll (some PVPers have a strange idea of "fun"). For some of us that are using the forums, all these posts just add to the noise.|

Well GPBunny, if you are in the Loyalty Program, you will likely have your answer fairly soon:

The North American Beta client is available here. And the European Beta client is available here. Please bear in mind that this is only a pre-download for all of you who have taken part in the Loyalty Program that ran between August 15th and November 15th, 2009. Access to the Closed Beta servers will be effective from Thursday, July 22nd, 2010 on. Participants will be receiving a Beta invitation and their access to the Closed Beta forums will be enabled on the same day. We know you've been eagerly waiting for this particular phase of the Closed Beta to start and thank you for your patience with this. Known Issues: The first attempt to grab the installer may result in a 5-10 second download of an empty .zip file. If this occurs, just try again and you should start the full download. The CohBeta folder will install by default to Program Files\NCsoft\CohBeta this is different from the usual default of Program Files\CohBeta. |
