We've added most of the I19 badge information to the database and the I19 specific badges were flipped from "inactive" to "active" this afternoon, so everyone should now be able to start tracking the new badges on their characters.
We're still going through and verifying the information that's been added, but if you should you notice any issues specifically related to the information in a badge record (text, method for obtaining the badge, icon, etc.), please let us know here so that we can correct it.
Current Known Issues (workarounds noted where applicable):
* To address the side effect of changes necessary for "Entrepreneur"/"Free Trade Advocate" and "Blockade Runner"/"Profiteer", all confirmed entries for "Entrepreneur"/"Free Trade Advocate" were reset during Issue 18. Any characters who earned this badge prior to October 2, 2010 will have to re-verify it.
* CIT has not yet been updated to detect a character's current alignment, so all badge names for a character are currently displayed based on the Archetype as follows:
- Blaster, Controller, Defender, Peacebringer, Scrapper, Tanker, Warshade: heroic badge names displayed
- Arachnos Soldier, Arachnos Widow, Brute, Corruptor, Dominator, Mastermind, Stalker: villainous badge names displayed
Note: This should not affect a character's ability to verify a badge, only the way it is displayed in Manage Badges, Character Profile, Badge Checklists, etc.
* As a side effect of preventing erroneous parent/child badges from being verified, the "Siblings" and "Required Badges" lists in the Badge Family Checker window are not currently listing any badges. When logic updates to the backend go live, these lists should return.
* Although set to "active" in the database, some of the new I19 badges do not have associated badge types (i.e. Accolade, Achievement, etc.) set, so they aren't showing up in the badge lists. - fixed 2010 DEC 01
Watch Items (we think this is fixed, but...):
* Hero/Villain and Praetorian specific badges related to account level flags awarded at character creation are erroneously being added by CIT to characters ineligible for those badges. Specifically:
- VIP
- True to the Last
- Vigilant/Determined
- Praetoria's Son/Daughter
- fix attempted 2010 DEC 02; please include date badge was added when reporting instances of this issue; if date cannot be found, please let us grab the date from the database before removing the badge from the character
Current Possible Issues (need to check):
* Have French and German names for new badges been added?
