The Escapist: Now With Badges!

[Iceman23]

A cool idea guys, hell we might even attract a few achievement addicts from Xbox Live to this site with an addition like this.

Mousing over the badge just gives my arrow thing a seizer

Can we trade them in for faction reputation?

 

[Kross]

damn, these badges are horribly addictive. I'm intrigued to know how you get some of them though. (post in more than 10 forums?)

No, but you can capture them all by having them battle against each other.

You are now Neutral with Escapist Magazine.

Got a long way to go to get that tabard.

Might be nice to have a 'show this badge' option, for those who have more then 4, so you can pick which ones show up.

 

[Susan Arendt]

So, you won't say -what- they all are...so...any chance on finding out how -many- there are? ^^' Also, do you just keep the last four badges, or is there a page where all the badges you get accumulate. And, I'll assume you only get one badge per earning yup?

We'll be adding new badges fairly regularly, but some will always be secret. 'Cause we're shady like that.

Only one badge per, yes, and if you want to see all of your badges, just check your profile. At the moment, only the four you've earned most recently show up in your forum post.

We're working on it. But we wanted to let folks see how many different badges were up for grabs first.

 

[L.B. Jeffries]

Wait, are you folks going to start a badge suggestion forum? Or is this a sort of Boy Scout / Secret Police combo?

 

[milomalo]

so how it will work? will be updates...? can be like the achievements in a game? that will be cool

 

[WNxSajuukCor]

Bleep bloop. They're pretty cool

Then I must have more!
Also when you are looking at them on your profile the ad often runs over it and it's quite frustrating. Any way to fix it you clever techies?

 

[sunami88]

Cool... bleep bloop...

 

[the monopoly guy]

how do you know I've posted on 3 different forums? GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
No really.
Or am I just thinking of somethign else.

You should get a badge just for that reply.

This frightens me a little. I'm worried what people (and I) will do for the sake of badges. I agree with Pedro though, a reward for not getting banned or probated after a 1000 posts would be great.

 

[Royas]

I dunno... this badge (or trophy or achievement) thing is getting a little out of hand. So, how come I still want to earn all of 'em?

I must admit, I'm also a little worried that people will start making random threads and posts just for the sake of badges.

I just hope it doesn't get as bad as the people who make rooms in online games for the sole purpose of getting achievements.
