Badges no longer obtainable, should be removed.

There are 2 Badges (That I know of) which are no longer obtainable and should be removed from the list.

1) Master Thief - Steal an Item of Power during a base raid
2) Passport - Transfer your character from the US servers to the EU servers.

But I have those badges!!

I can take them off the "Low Hanging Fruit" list, but I'll have to see if anyone will get effected if those get moved to inactive.

You can remove them from the list and it should not effect the users. This all depends on the setup in our DB though.

I don't think it will effect anyone... if they have it, should still show up. I'll do it now.

Might want to test this first on our demo db - ;)

LOL!

Um, yeah...removing the Badges from the LHF allows the Characters to retain and correctly display the Badges still, as it does not impact it. I don't believe though, that if we remove the Badge from the list, it would allow the same result...I think removing it from the List deletes the entry and thus removes the Badge from the Toons. At least, that is what I would think would happen.....

I just marked them Inactive. This was people that have it, it will show, otherwise unobtainable.

Tazhyngarth · April 04, 2009, 03:55:32 PM

I wasn't sure if moving it to the Inactive list would also Hide the Badge from the Profiles....good to know it doesn't do that :P.

Inactive sounds better than removing. Good thinking. ;D

Yea, The inactive list will only make it so that badges doesn't count towards final counts, only because it's unfair to include a badge no one can get anymore in that count. Where as their profile will still show that they have it.

Well it works and the badge no longer shows up on the list.

Just brought my MM up to date on the site but the Passport badge doesn't actually show up on her list of accolades and yet it is still counted (my main badger still has it visible on his accolades).

I'd also agree with the post elsewhere about Bug Hunter being made inactive too.

WHAT!? That badge is fully active! lol
