Starhammer Posted Monday at 11:10 AM Posted Monday at 11:10 AM So many alts to log in... I wish login badges were global. Or at least "get them on 10 characters, they're unlocked on all the rest" 1
lemming Posted Monday at 04:35 PM Posted Monday at 04:35 PM It's one reason I tend to retire my unused alts. Otherwise my CDO kicks in and I have to fill in badges that are available only for limited spans of time. 1
MTeague Posted Monday at 05:15 PM Posted Monday at 05:15 PM It ... is.... actually OK to just, NOT get the badge on every single character. I know, I know, I'll see myself out ..... 2 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 .
Rudra Posted Monday at 05:21 PM Posted Monday at 05:21 PM I agree with @MTeague. We can have as many characters as we want and out of those characters we can have characters that pursue all the badges and characters that don't. It's up to us to decide how obsessive compulsive we are with our characters getting all the badges.

What if we change our minds about which characters need the badges? There's a wide range of compulsions that people deal with. If you think CoX has spaghetti code, brains are even worse. 1

It's sort of a point of pride that you cherish a particular character enough to bother logging in and acquiring something for them, (even if all that's required is just the act of logging in)...

lemming Posted Tuesday at 08:09 PM Posted Tuesday at 08:09 PM One other advantage to logging in all characters is allows me to do a quick checkup and reset the login timer.
TeeTee Posted Wednesday at 12:15 AM Posted Wednesday at 12:15 AM There definitely should be a "Global" category of badges that, once earned, are tied to your account. SMART vendor could "sell" an item to unlock them all upon purchase (akin to Prestige runs). That way you don't get spammed with too many badges every time you drop into Atlas Park with a new alt -AND- you could always choose NOT to unlock them (for whatever reason).
kelika2 Posted Wednesday at 12:19 AM Posted Wednesday at 12:19 AM you have a month on top of that you can pool resources you are not using. i pooled about a billion in loose change
Steampunkette Posted Wednesday at 12:52 AM Posted Wednesday at 12:52 AM You can also buy these badges in Oroborous.

WanderingAries Posted Wednesday at 01:57 AM Posted Wednesday at 01:57 AM I thought that most only had one / two alts for Badging as otherwise it'd be a royal nightmare.

There are players that have decidedly more than one or two badge characters. However, if a player has so many badge characters that cycling them for event badges is effectively a job or soul crushing experience, then it may be time to reduce the number of dedicated badge gathering characters. 1

There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.

Not sure if I'll bother with too many chars doing the Anniversary Capsule badges. I might just wait until all ~16 mob types get badged. (so, in sixish years...) I only have one maxed badger and I think I only average 500 badges (mean, 527 median) Four chars with 1000+ badges.
Troo Posted Wednesday at 05:16 AM Posted Wednesday at 05:16 AM (edited) I find the following slash command helpful: /quittocharacterselect ..then use last chat [enter][up] ..and double click the next character (rather than selecting 'next) Having characters logged out in insta-log locations helps.

UltraAlt Posted Wednesday at 06:03 AM Posted Wednesday at 06:03 AM 1 hour ago, lemming said: I'm down to 90 Well, thanks. I was wondering how many @Starhammer has. But just for the record, I have around 196 at this point, but I know I made some more since I last updated my spreadsheet.
