Shield Licker badge


Recommended Posts

This is kind of a silly request, but a common joke in Mothership Raids is either telling newbies to lick the shield for a badge, or warning them not to lick it even though it is delicious. Bearing that in mind, why not have a Shield Licker badge?

Totally onboard for this!

So... you want to make a ridiculous prank that no one in their right minds should ever believe into something that actually exists?!

 

 Yeah!  Because going up and touching / licking the shield around the mothership ports you to the fort by the western wall.  It's fun, nifty, and... why not?  🙂  There's a similar badge for trying to run through the sonic fence in First Ward... don't see why we shouldn't have a fun badge for first time running into the Mothership shield.  🙂

I really, really hate that badge. Can't tell you how often I died without getting it trying to get it on each character I bothered to get it for. So not exactly a good justification in my book.

So does fighting in the bowl during a MSR when the timer runs out and the shields come back up. So what would be the difference?

 

I guess I will just never understand some desires. Whatever. There is no good reason to oppose this, it just also makes not a bit of sense to me.

Whether you hate it or not, it's similar in function and frivolity, so justification is sound.

Perhaps.  And so what if it does?  You can get the badge if you do an MSR or not by just running into the shield.

It's simple, it's fun, it's a badge, it's frivolous, it's open to everyone to get, and it's just one of those small things in life that can make some people smile.  Just something small to stop and smell the roses, or lick the shield.  😄

Guess that shows how long it has been since I've done an MSR.  Never even heard of that particular joke.

It's not  particularly common joke, at least not in my experience, though it has been a while since I did an MSR. It does get made though.

I'm all for a funny badge, though I would suggest having to touch the shield twice, so when people do go for the badge and get ported and people tell them "Oh no, you have to do it twice!" They are going to think it's a load of bull 😄

Players pranking each other? Sure. Whatever. The game pranking them at the behest of those players? No.

It is common in my experience, and I did them every night for a while.

We would even announce flavors of the night.

It would be amusing if there was a big table of flavors tucked away on the server, and when you were teleported, you got a message like "You arrive back at Point du Hoc with a strange taste of [random flavor] in your mouth". Maybe something to add for the April Fool's event.
