Badges. So. Many. Badges.
« on: July 09, 2013, 03:17:14 pm »
So, after the high of collecting all of my badges wore off, (I can only imagine how long it took some of you more experienced players) I looked at them a little closer.

They look sad without descriptions.

Common Muse! Give my badges the same clever descriptions you give achievements!

... Please?

I've not seen the patch yet so i cannot tell just how many badges there are but im assuming lots... can you imagine how long this patch would have taken if they had to sit and think of something witty for all of them? hahaha :P

No time at all. I just tried my hand at it.

"This badge is dull"

"This badge is a bit less dull"

"This badge still kinda looks dull"

"This badge isn't really dull, but nor is it shiny"

"This badge is sorta shiny"

"This badge is shiny"

"This badge is very shiny"

"Dear god, you're burning my eyes!"

Here I was just trying to catch my breath after getting through all 384 core progression achievements! But maybe if I have a little free time I'll add something to the badges. :)

Prizes can also have their own flavor text...I kind of wanted to do something with those someday.

ETA: it's nice to know that at least someone reads those descriptions!

Thanks Clara!

But, yes, I do so enjoy the witty text "descriptions" under all the achievements.

Some of them are very nice, especially one that refers to fighting in a 'gentlemanly' manner.

I still get the warm fuzzies every time I read that. Mainly because it came into being shortly after them sniping matches in the Fjords, and thus I can claim some part of that.

I have to admit, the descriptions are wonderful.

My Favorite is the one about Raspberries.  Bonus points to whoever knows what I'm talking about (hint it's a semi recent engineering achievement).

My first thought after seeing the new visual cue for armor destroyed was "aww.. Smollett doesn't have to shout 'Raspberries' any more"  ;)
