This may be a silly question, then, but has anyone here bugged and/or PM'd a Dev about it to be fixed yet?

Hi,
yes, fully bugged with details of both clashing badges and a tongue in cheek suggestion about a use of simple database/spreadsheet/word doc whatever with predictive text enabled.
Although to be even handed, I suspect that this is a weird glitch/finger problem that scrambled something during the "End of Beta"/"Going Live" process.
Either way all reported.

Still, that doesn't change the fact that there have been at least 10 or 12 different cases where the Devs couldn't be bothered to check to see if a name has been used already. You'd think after making that mistake 2 or 3 times that'd be enough to learn their lesson.

They need to add a "check name" feature for every time the Devs try to add a badge name. Then maybe we would have "Gate Crasher2" or "Gate.Crasher" or something.

Actually, "Rescued and Recovered" really wasn't a good name for that badge. Maybe "Spine Smasher" would have been better.|

My vote would be for something like "Barrier Breaker" because they already used the word 'Smasher' in the Sentinel Smasher badge. Regardless they should just come up with something that can be used for both red and blue side just to keep it simple.

Well I got it now.. But damn.. They need to chop dream doctors arc into like segments for doing it by ouroboros pillar .... It's annoying as <beep!> to do the arc over if you missed either saving the cop dude or misclick the option on the last part

But there really is no excuse for not running that new name up against the existing list just to double-check that it hasn't been used before. That kind of check can be accomplished in mere seconds.|

Like I said before it's sort of OK that they might have made this kind of mistake a couple of times in the past. But they've now literally done this roughly a dozen times over the years. It's definitely wandered into the "stupid" zone at this point.

At this point, I'm thinking that they should have a pre-Beta, pick a handful of badgers, invite them, and say, "OK, what badge names are dupes?".

You're assuming they aren't doing it on purpose, just to mess with us. This latest incident kinda leans that way. lol

And for Candy_NA since your messages won't let me send you the info:

You have to redo it by going to ouroboros and look for it in the 45-50 arcs.. If you completed it, it should be yellowed out. Look for the dream doctor dude in the pic. I forgot the arc name but the mission starts with going after this Tub Ci guy.|

Didn't quite know where to post it other than in the badges here.. I hope this helps. Hopefully someone can gimme the name of what it says in Ouroboros. Im not good with names and titles but photos n stuff

Something for ppl to use Did they move the Dark Astoria plaque for the Authority (history) badge? I did a rather extensive search of the area where it's supposed to be but to no avail.
Quote:
Assuming you're looking in the new Dark Astoria, I believe you'll need to visit the old Dark Astoria for the old history and exploration badges. An "echo" of Dark Astoria can be accessed through a portal in Ouroborus. The portal is located behind the main building in Ouroborus. A Galaxy City echo can also be accessed here. This portal can only be accessed through the hero Ouroborus.|

If you're searching the echo DA, none of the plaques or badges were moved, AFAIK.
Q. Just wondering Posi, where are the new dance emotes we were told would come with GR?

Quote:
| How to get - Save Detective Hopp at least once in Dark Astoria in either Heather Townsend's arc or Praetor Duncan's arc before your final meeting in Dream Doctor's arc. In the first two arcs, he'll show up as an optional objective when you get near him with "???" displaying in the Nav Bar. In the final mission, he won't show up as an objective, but will be lying on the floor ready to be teleported out. If you miss him previously both times, he will be dead and you will get no badge. |
Praetor Duncan's arc is "To What End for Power".
Then do the Dream Doctor's arc which should be "The Choice of Hope".

I don't know if its a typo or it was changed from beta or there's some other reason why, but I ran Steel Savior today and the clock showed three minutes, not two. I finished it with 58 seconds on the clock and got the badge, so I'm guessing the badge awards if you finish before the timer runs out whatever it says.

I can confirm it's more than 2 minutes. By the time I was able to convince Leo to follow me up the ramp to the clear-area, which took at least half a minute, I looked at the clock and it was still more than 2 minutes time left.

Did anyone seriously think they wouldn't do it again at some point?
