I understand that you will not get three respecs for doing these but, I have yet to see anyone with both heroside and villains respec trials badges.. the question is can they all be gotten?

Note: if this has been asked before, well it's being asked again

thanks for nay help

You can't get the badge without claiming a respec as a reward. If you can't claim a respec reward at the end of a respec trial (because you've gotten your max amount), you don't get the badge.

I've not seen any plans to change this.

Actually, isn't there one badge you can get? Heroside you get transmogrified for doing the trial, but then the other three badges for consuming the respec. Is redside the same?

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

No. On the other had, transmogrified is independent of the respec badges.

Over at Badge-Hunter it shows the three redside respec badges as possible ones to obtain on my now evil character despite it having the three hero respec badges. But I'll presume that to be an error on the badge site.

I am sure over the next few weeks all the little kinks and quirks will be found, and hopefilly fixed soon afterwards.

If we are to believe the current Paragonwiki info on this (which says you can't have both sets of respec badges) then I'd have to say the Badge-Hunter site is currently in error. I'm guessing the folks at Badge-Hunter are going to have to come up with some kind of filter that would mask out one side's respec badge if you already have the other side's equivalent badge.

The Devs may allow having both sets of badges at some point, but that kind of thing is probably of such low priority to them that I'm not going to assume it'll happen anytime soon. *shrugs*

No, the site is not in error.

Due to villains being able to gain the 3 villain respec badges and having the ability to switch to the Blue side, these badges need to be made available to both sides, otherwise the site will remove the 3 villain respec badges when a villain's alignment has been changed, and visa versa for Heroes.

So that badge needs to be available to both alignments, and so do many others.

And until I can come up with a way to put special resrtictions on the badges, it will have to remain like this until then.

Well your site might not technically be "in error" but letting it look like a character can earn both sets of respec badges is definitely misleading. That is why I said you're going to have to come up with a way to filter it so that once a character has one of the respec badges (red or blue) it won't look like that character has the other side's badge in the "unearned" column.

Didn't you already have to do this kind of filtering for the Villain Patron badges? I would think that once you earned one of those the others would be masked so that they didn't appear to be unearned badges. *shrugs*

If you take the time to read my site you will find the answer to those questions.

My site will be done when its done, I'm not rushing the site for anyone. I want it done right and if people don't like the fact they have to wait for me to get it right, then there are other sites they can use until then.

My site still allows you to track your badges that you earn, badges you can't earn will be dealt with when I finish the code for the new expansion. This issue isn't as simple as adding new badges, there are many new things I need to add to the site to get it inline with the game's mechanics. And its not a easy task.

And yes, the Patron badge has this mechanic, but not in the way I need it for the other badges. The Patron badges is set as a group of badges and there can only be one selected. You can't earn all 4 so I coded the site so that you can't collect all . Once you select one the others are hidden.

But this will not be the case for the respec badges, as they are two seperate alignments, so it will need new code. So it will take some time.

Personally I don't see the problem with allowing characters to change alignments and obtain all 6 respec badges. Granted a character likely wouldn't end up using all six, but still there are those of us that like to collect the shiny objects. My now evil Blaster badge hunter has surpassed the 900 badge count......only a few left.

I've been a software engineer for nearly 20 years so I realize you can't get all of this fixed up instantly.
I do have a vague idea of what you're having to do to deal with all of this.
Chill out and take (or simply ignore) constructive suggestions when they come to you.

In the meantime I will be patiently waiting for you to assimilate all the changes that GR/I18 have brought to the badging community.
I'm quite sure that once you've taken your time with it that it'll all work out for everyone to enjoy...
