nude atlas flasher ‘situation’ (no armour bug)
AC20 friend blaster ‘court marshal’ (fire delay)
foot stuck in cargo container ‘campaign medal’ earned for you by others in your absence

[Stoicblitzer]

the game is still in beta. 18 more days until that excuse no longer applies. stop trying to shortchange dem white knights.

btw, hilarious.

[Felbombling]

Good stuff, Alistair, I was laughing pretty hard at this post. I would suggest a medal for 'Feedback with Static'... the understanding that you were an active participant in the Beta test PGI was conducting.

Perhaps something with the Dragon knockdowns? Fast(Hunch)back swarms?

Dragon Bowl Z

[Straylight]

I've survived every single one of those, and more besides.

is that open beta or does it include closed beta, cause dragon bowling should get its own patch imo

Agreed.

Two others that deserve ribbons:

Operation F****** Hitboxes - When the first LRM salvo would headshot the Atlas, first time, every time.

Operation Highway Robbery - Repair/rearm costs, and all of the stupid, stupid things it caused.

[Alistair Winter]

Lots of good suggestions here, will try to do all the major one, as time permits





Operation Working As Intended
Awarded to everyone who has faith in the game. You will be stripped of this medal when you lose faith.


Dragon Bowl Campaign
Awarded to everyone who knocked down an Atlas in their Dragon, like it was the NFL Super Bowl.


Medal of Feedback With Static
Awarded to everyone who's spent several hours writing detailed, constructive, concise feedback on the forum, asking questions in the AtD threads or created polls with thousands of votes, in the vain hope of a reply from a PGI dev.

I'll just stick all these into my signature.

[Ryokens leap]

That's an easy 10/10.

[MustrumRidcully]

What about that jenner lagshield deluxe bug where if you shut down while running, your hit box and the visual position of your mech would suddenly be different?

"IT was just the Jenner's position at the time"...

[627]

Alistair my friend, this is hilarious

But you forgot the 200kph trollmando and the reign of the flamers.

Oh, and no Swayback?

Yeah, don't forget the Lagshield badge.

Tbh I'd add Gausscat/AC20cat and ECMpocalyspe badges.

[Deathlike]

I would like a 4 FPS Bug medal. It was the best sign that you could only play like 3-4 matches (at least for me) and then restart the game.

Ah... those were the days.

[Dracol]

Fricking hilarious.

I'll contribute a suggestion for "Days of Dakka" for the short campaign of AC/2 horror when their shake effect was overly effective.

[Felbombling]

AFK/DC power levelling medallion

[James The Fox Dixon]

Good stuff there. What about I survived Repair and Rearms because I used ammo and had advanced equipment?

[C E Dwyer]

<--waits for medals in the post

[Tolkien]

+1 to you! Those are some excellent medals and made me LoL.

Well, Beta is almost over and we've been through a lot. Now, all the Founders got a shiny medal for participating in Operation Inception, so I've gone and made some medals for all you "Beta testers" out there who have survived weeks, perhaps months, or even a year, of different challenges.


Operation S.Q.U.A.W.K.
Swarms of Raven 3Ls with Streaks, each of them capable of ripping assault mechs to shreds.
Awarded to anyone who's lost 0-8 against a 4-man group of Goons spamming 'Squawk' in public chat.


Operation LRMapocalypse
No matter how much armour you had, no matter how much cover you had. LRMapocalypse was upon you.
Awarded to anyone who's faced an enemy team with a total of 300 loaded LRM tubes, capable of ascending and descending 90 degrees.


Operation Can't See ****, Captain
HUD bugs. No IFF, no minimap, no paperdoll, no navigation system... and your mech is WWWWWWWWWWWW.
Awarded to anyone who's scored a kill without a HUD. (Teamkills don't count, but then again, how can you tell?)


Yellow Screen Star
You wish you had a normal HUD bug. The good news is, if you switch to heat vision, the blue and yellow makes bright green.
Awarded to anyone who's scored a kill with Yellow Screen of Doom.


Purple Centertorso
You could torso twist all you wanted. Those missiles were going to hit your center torso regardless. (Still in effect for the Awesome and Kintaro, mind you)
Awarded to anyone who's been killed by guided missiles to Front Center Torso, despite the fact that the missiles were coming from behind.


Distinguished Flying Poptart Cross
Like playing Duck Hunt on your Nintendo. Except every duck had a gauss rifle and two ER PPCs.
Awarded to anyone who has killed a poptart in flight.


Order of the Splatcat
Thanks to splash damage, each missile did over 9000 damage.
Awarded to anyone who has been killed by a CPLT-A1 with 6 SRM6's in 3 salvos.


Order of the Jagerbomb
Finally saved from the Splatcats. Get smashed by packs of Jagerbombs.
Awarded to anyone who has been killed by a JM6-DD with 2 AC20s in 3 salvos.


Order of Dakkaspider
For every bullet they fired, the chance of a critical hit would increase by 90%.
Awarded to anyone who has died from ammo explosions at the hands of a SDR-K



I think that covers most of the fun we've had. Did I forget anything?

Well, while I would absolutely qualify for the "Operation Working as Intended" ribbon, I would still have to applaud you for these, as they are downright freakin' FANTASTIC and hilarious. I could/would wear almost any of those.

Love it.

Operation S.Q.U.A.W.K., Operation Can't See ****, Captain, and Distinguished Flying Poptart Cross. Oh yeah, those are timeless classics mate!

[Aleric]

Damn I always said I would get a chest full of medals for my service, who knew it would be for other than intended commendations.

There needs to be a medal for those that paid to be founders and bought mechs then stopped playing before the game even came out. Call it a "Pull Out". lol

[xCico]

BEST. THREAD.
What a LOL
