Is the new /info_pin_badge Command Acting Weird for Anyone?

[BlackSpectre]

What I mean by "weird" is that it seems to not have any effect for up to 15-17 minutes, depending on where you are in the server update cycle when you execute the command. Anybody else seeing this?

 

From the patch notes regarding the changes to the Personal Info window:

• Quote

   

  • Add  /info_pin_badge  to pick a specific badge.
    • 0 to follow the selected one
    • -1 to always use the origin art
    • -2 to remove the art entirely.
  • The badge title of a targeted character will now update when their Info window is opened.

   

   

Also, just some... ummm... suggestions? Criticisms? Not sure what to call it...

 

Option "0" that sets the badge icon to whichever badge is clicked on or selected in the Badge Window is kinda... contrary to the idea of slash commands as being a way to avoid interacting with the UI and using the mouse to point and click.  If you have to open up the badge window, and then use the mouse to select a badge, why use this command at all? Your hand is already on the mouse and you've already opened up the badge window, why not just click on the Pin Badge button and be done with it? In other words, it's hard to me to see why this option even exists? It would be way better for this slash command to select the badge icon by typing the Badge Title ID like /set_title does.  

 

Option "1" to "always use the origin art" doesn't prevent selecting a badge icon in the badge window. So is this option meant to prevent the badge icon from showing up when the badge TITLE is selected or something?

 

Option "2" to remove the art entirely doesn't remove the art entirely. Instead, it defaults to the Origin art. So... just remove the selected badge pin, if any, correct?

 

To @Cobalt Arachne, I'm assuming you created this command, but if not please forward it to whoever did, because I just want to apologize for not participating much in the Betas. I realize that these comments would have been better to have been posted there instead of after the fact, but I just don't have a ton of time to scour the forums. Maybe one of these days I will. Sorry. But if you do want me to test any new slash command before the patch goes live, just send me a PM and I'll get around to it a lot sooner.

I've been able to set the icon using the badge number like /set_title.  If i do something like "/info_pin_badge 188" it updates instantly but I do have to reopen my info window to see the change. 

 

I don't know why I'd need the 0/-1/-2 though.

It's so the player can select the non-badge origin art instead.
