Patroller Badge Status Bar Change Request

[Rudra]

If your character does not have the Patroller badge and checks it on the badge list, it says:

 

 Earn 30 bars of Patrol Experience to obtain this badge. (NOTE: Level 50 characters earn this badge by spending time logged off.)

 

The only way to earn bars of Patrol XP is to be logged off on that character. My request is to remove the "Level 50" part of the statement and add further clarification so it instead reads as:

 

 Earn 30 bars of Patrol Experience to obtain this badge. (NOTE: Characters earn this badge by spending time logged off. No more than 10 bars may be accumulated at one time.)

Edited to add the "No more than..." part.

I like clarity, so this helps a lot. As it is, it reads that non-50s don't earn patrol XP when logged off, which isn't the case.

Thank you for playing. With the recent change to exploration badges, finding an undiscovered exploration badge earns you patrol XP, not direct experience -- and you can earn it regardless of level. The badge text stating that level 50s earn it by being logged off is therefore true but incomplete.

Your response is flawed. Level 50s can also go get more patrol xp by grabbing exploration badges. (The change to patrol xp still aggravates me.) So the description is still wrong. The only way for the description to be correct as is, is for the player to actively go hunting the explores before level 50. I still lack explores on some of my 50s. Either way, the text is not correct. You yourself just admitted it is incomplete, even ignoring that level 50s can still grab explores they didn't get through regular play or intentional pursuit prior.

 

Edit: Here you go:

Earn 30 bars of Patrol Experience to obtain this badge. (NOTE: Characters earn this badge by spending time logged off or finding exploration badges. No more than 10 bars may be accumulated at one time.)

There is also a temp power given out every year that grants patrol XP.

Only if the player uses it and it already states that in the temp power. No reason to further complicate this.

No intention for complication. Just pointing out another source of PXP.
