Maybe on our profile or achievements page they could be summed up into something similar like this. Somewhere I have saved from these forums a sarcastic joke achievement list. Things like Dragon Bowling and the original LRMaggeddon and the Flight of the Crows (ECM Ravens). I'll see if I can find it somewhere....

I need to know how many trees I've knocked over.

Badge wise I like my Overlord badge. It is something that I was able to get since I wasn't around for the closed beta of the game and started sometime when it went open beta. Every other badge that I have I don't care about though. It is nice that any player that gets a package can have a badge but it would mean more if players could earn them via playing the game.

all cooler than the ones that come with the Packs.

Pretty sure I've earned the Orders of the Jagerbomb and the White Knight a few times overs.... (got about 1000 matches in Jagerbombs before Quirkageddon largely made it meh)

Think the way they are doing it now is just fine. would rather them focus on higher priority items then focus on a more inventive system for countdowns. The info is there so why change it?

It's amazing how many are still applicable.

[WarHippy]

I tend to agree. I don't think I have used any of these badges or titles from these packs. Although, I do use my founders tag, but I see that differently than most of these other badges and titles.

[Tyler Valentine]

Couldn't care less about Titles, Badges or Long Countdowns.


I've always just posted my current faction rank and I always will. CW is the endgame, everything else is for noobs

Tho i dont have it on this account, i got my Ace of Spades very legitimately on my alt and i get soooooo much flak for it. It almost not worth toting around lol.

Sigh* I feel the same way. I got my Ace of Spades legitimately long before the server fiasco, and now it all feels tainted.

Not asking for more work from them, actually, in my OP, I'm asking for LESS.

Though I would love it, if when the quirks are released, they released the basic build info to Smurfy, as noted (which would be more work) because I think anyone who bought it would love a couple days to theorycraft.

Ditto.

Done it twice, legit, once in my ON1-VA "Suckerpunch" and the other time, finally, in my beloved CanOpener HBK-4G(F).

But since I don't record videos, it does feel empty and tainted.

At least you guys got it. I've not been able to get more than 6 kills since the achievements were implemented.

When I got that achievement I did it in a Thunderbolt 9S, and before your mind jumps to the idea of it happening during the 9S's brief reign of terror I did it before quirks were ever a thing and the 9S was considered worst of the worst. I have done it a few other times in other mechs, but getting it in my Thunderbolt at that time was just great.

This. So much this. I would love the **** out of this.

EDIT: I've also come very close to Ace of Spades on multiple occasions quite legitimately with 7 kills. So far, no dice on the magic 8th kill.

You know what I miss that PGI royally f*d up? The intorduction videos of the new content ... example:







See these videos are fun and made me want to spend money or look forward to the update. Instead we get pages of text and screen shots. It is only after the patch or the day before that we get these. As for the videos day before is usually just ngng doing a play test on it nothing remotely as cool and kicking as these.

Yeah, but even when it's a "LEET" Overlord with it? It usually still has more to do with hitting that perfect storm of incompetence on BOTH teams.

So it's "earned" but really, I highly doubt anyone has taken out 8+ actual "equals" or even true Peers in a match, (heck against inferior play, it's not like mine are with 8-9 solo kills. I know several were mop ups, etc, including at least 1 that I basically hit with a feather (my head medium laser was all I had left) and he went POP!, lol)

Seriously?

"Day 7 of big bad spending fervor inspiring Mech Countdown"

Oh Look, a badge my 4th grader designed and a silly and utterly pointless "title" (more so because it's not even an "earned " one".

Are we really such a mental junk food addled society that people remotely care about these things? Just empty calories.

Truth to tell, the whole Countdown thing kind of grinds my gears.

For the Urbie, it was fresh, original, the Devs had FUN with it.

For everything since? It's mostly formulaic dreck, no really effort involved, only of minor interest.

Scout Derek threw out an idea to me about a 3 day countdown, a 3,2,1 BOOM! and truth to tell, I think I would much prefer that.

Day 3:
-Screen Grabs, Faction Paints/Camos, etc
Day 2:
-Quirks Announced (maybe even leak the build specs to Smurfy Lab so we can start theorycrafting)
Day 1:
-Size comparo/Gameplay video for NGNG to get their promotion on.

then BOOM.

The other 4 days, currently? Big. Whoop.

Yes, I know some think a White Knight is never allowed to criticize, or grumble. Well, you'd be wrong.

Thoughts and opinions, dissenting, agreeing or straying to odd tangents, welcome.

I too couldn´t care less, it just fluff. Doesn´t improve my ingame performance, doesn´t improve the quality of my posts, all it does is say I spent money on a F2P game and that´s it... and while some may see the old badge and think "oh, he´s dangerous, he´s been doing this for a long time", that doesn´t necessarily reflect reality. I just like the red star.

Same as with unit tags... all it says is who you´re affiliated with, not how good you are. That´s why for ex. MS, SWOL, 228 or whatever tags dont scare me despite their rep... everyone has good and bad days, and every unit has good and bad players. So it will be somewhere between us roflstomping them and them roflstomping us, business as usual

pssst
different people have different things they enjoy. I like having titles and badges to set for my personal goals sometimes. I personally really want my deathstar and Big Daddy achievements. I imagine a player who never or rarely pilots assaults could care less about the Big Daddy achievement.

[Sader325]

Uh... I've been playing for a year and I've never turned on a badge.

I win?
