Developer The Curator Posted April 12, 2020 Developer Share Posted April 12, 2020 This badge needs a name! Two weeks ago, we asked you for suggestions for the 16th Anniversary badge name. Now it's time to vote! Sweet was proposed multiple times, with "Sweet Sixteen" being a counterpart of "Lucky Seven" (Lucky being the 7th Anniversary badge name). Not a lot to say here: it's a cute punny name. There were several suggestions on the idea of a Rebirth or Resurrection. Rather than have multiple similar answers and split the vote, we picked one word to match that theme: Resurgent, which means "reviving after a period of little activity". That specific word was chosen because the final release of the game before shutdown was Issue 24: Resurgence, so this name ties the two eras of the game together in a meaningful way. If neither punny nor nostalgic names are your thing, the third choice ties a bit to the in-game lore. Greek mythology features prominently in City of Heroes, with Statesman, Imperious and Tyrant all being Incarnates of Zeus, and Prometheus himself hanging out in Ouroboros. All those stories were passed down the generations in legends, and now you can also choose to be Legendary. Those are the options! The poll will run for a week The winning badge name will be automatically awarded during the entire month of May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Bob Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) I'm voting Sweet Sixteen, because THIS anniversary is the only year the badge name really fits! (And it has a nice nostalgic link to Lucky Seven, nine years down the road!) Edited April 12, 2020 by Cold Bob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taboo Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Which badge would I want for a title? Either Legendary or Sweet fit for that purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraxus Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I feel the title, and its meaning should be able to stand on its own, with no explanation necessary. "Sweet" as in part of "Sweet Sixteen" doesn't meet the criteria for me. Plus, there is isn't a single character in my pantheon that I feel any permutation of the word "sweet" applies to, in any context. "Resurgent", and "Legendary", on the other hand, does. I voted for the former, but I'd be fine with the latter. Just my .02 of a dollars worth there. 2 What was no more, is REBORN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Shocker Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 It's coming on like a dream, peaches and cream... lips like... well technically at that age you can't drink... The Ghost Slaying Axe. The very best there is. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every motherspectre in the room, accept no substitutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shocktacular Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I went with "sweet". The other badge names could be used for future badges (they're not number-specific), but sweet 16 only comes around once, and I have a few characters who would like to have that badge title, and I doubt that there would be another opportunity for such a badge in future. 5 Want more from Praetoria?

Slithershot Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Out of those three options, Resurgent makes the most sense and feels right to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueringPanthera Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I liked Sweet the best out of all those options. Both for the reference to "Sweet Sixteen" and the Call back to the seventh Anniversary Badge Lucky which was meant as a reference to "Lucky Seven". The connection of before and now just fits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apogee Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Should really do Sweet (16) this year and save Resurgent for 17, then Legendary for 18 and Platinum for 20. Then we just need to come up with a name for 19. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty close to the Repatriate I suggested. Cool 'cause the meaning behind the choice is similar. ^.^ 1 OG Server: Pinnacle <||> Current Primary Server: Torchbearer || Also found on the others if desired Installing CoX: Windows || MacOS || MacOS for M1 <||> Migrating Data from an Older Installation Clubs: Mid's Hero Designer || PC Builders || HC Wiki || Jerk Hackers Old Forums <||> Titan Network <||> Heroica!

I think the only toon that could properly pull off the title "Sweet" would be a Dancing Demon with such wicked threads you'd swear has his own jazz soundtrack and reminds you of Hinton Battle. 🙂 Remember!

ArchVileTerror Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Resurgent -surges- in to the lead! I think "Sweet" is a good badge title. I just think it should be released for something other than this particular anniversary badge. . . . I thought hits me . . . so, uh . . . I'm going to place a few 'calls.' Excuse me!

ArchVileTerror Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Legendary does sound like a good Badge title too, but sounds to me like something a player who has 100% completed all 10 tiers of Incarnate Powers should get. Considering we're only up to 6, it may take a while before that time comes to pass, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
