For the first 3+ years of the game, that was exactly the case. Only one way to get the badge.

I'm of the Scrapper camp that says you never need more than 1. Anything else is just being ostentatious.

Step 1 would be to get all the Accolades with Stat Buffs, or handy powers, if you haven't already.

I'd be ambivalent.

You mean the 2 or 3 of them in the entire game that have street hunts in effected zones?
Truly, my advice is look before you leap, check the TF, and don't run it during the events if it's going to be problematic for your team or your calm.

Me too. In the beginning my armor was partly registration date and sheer number of posts. Now it's that plus a heavy ratio of favorable to unfavorable, with most of the un's being grayed.

The qualitative nature of Art is subjective. The basic definitions of whether something is or isn't artistic expression aren't. Trying to argue that something is or isn't art is a tactic people have used for a long time to promote their own brands of intellectual snobbery. It avoids the real point of the discussion, the qualitative nature of a work, and whether it has or even needs value in order to be a good thing.

That's why I said your stance is close minded. It completely short circuits the truly valuable avenues of discussion available, the ones where people can learn and express their feelings.

I just wanted to point out, if you want to reply to me, you should quote me accurately.

It's not 'art is art, because I said so' it's 'art is art, because most of humanity says so'

Since you haven't adequately explained why it ISN'T art, I'll go along with most of humanity on this one. Demanding that everyone else make the case to your satisfaction, when you're the one with the divergent opinion is what is close minded, especially when you try to maintain the veneer of open mindedness.

Now, if you actually want to discuss what I said, instead of cherry picking my post, feel free.

They'd have to do a lot of the same work it would take to make Base Raids work (stabilize small high load instances, create a queuing system for teams to match each other without outside coordination, etc). To boot, that same work would have to be applied to maps that aren't designed for it.

<insert Standard Code Rant here>

"easy" is not the word I'd use to describe it.

More accurately the latest attempt to improve and stabilize base raiding failed so they disabled it, and implemented the changes to base editing to throw people a bone.

You really want an answer to that? Actually let me rephrase:

You really need us to answer that? Can't you read what you wrote?

You did the same arc 4 times in a row and you're complaining that the devs are unimaginative?

And please stop putting words in people's mouths. Most people here are pointing out that you lack a sense of perspective. That's all. No one's really defending the game's right to be bad in some aspects, they just have a point of view that says when given the choice between re-doing the old, and having new things to do, new things are a better use of development time and money.

They basically reworked the entire crafting table system twice within the course of that beta, all because of player feedback.

They also extensively reworked how Vault Storage worked, and added several locations on the fly.

There's so many little (and big) things that go on in every closed beta that are changed for the better due to feedback.
