| 16:36:33 | watusimoto | 4 new badge ideas: |
| 16:36:35 | watusimoto | * Make kill with every weapon |
| 16:36:35 | watusimoto | * Equip ship with every module |
| 16:36:35 | watusimoto | * Visit every page of the help |
| 16:36:35 | watusimoto | * Submit a level to Plaeides |
| 16:36:49 | watusimoto | some quite easy to get, but encourage exploration of the game |

| 17:11:51 | bobdaduck | Watusimoto_: My badges are already practically falling off the scoreboard. Until we get the users some way to select what badges show or have a profile page or something like that, more badges aren't a good idea, especially easy ones like those. |

| 17:32:54 | | Invisible1 has joined |
| 17:37:39 | Watusimoto_ | I think what we're going to need to do is show only badge counts on the scoreboard |
| 17:37:45 | Watusimoto_ | the curent model just isn't working |
| 17:37:49 | Watusimoto_ | as you noticed |
| 17:38:01 | Watusimoto_ | maybe break them into tiers |
| 17:38:33 | Watusimoto_ | master is down?? |
| 17:39:21 | bobdaduck | My idea was to make a player profile page in-game (though I guess forums would work too if we could integrate that somehow) where people just choose the top three badges they want |
| 17:39:34 | bobdaduck | It could show other relevant statistics on the page |
| 17:40:00 | Watusimoto_ | that would be kind of a pain for evernyone, no? |
| 17:40:15 | bobdaduck | Or we could make badges an indicator of player rank. At three badges you have one ^, seven badges gives you two ^, etc... |
| 17:40:18 | bobdaduck | How so? |
| 17:40:30 | bobdaduck | Eh, what is the actual point of badges? |
| 17:40:35 | Watusimoto_ | oh, just a lot of choosing and then desigining the ui would be a pain |
| 17:40:54 | Watusimoto_ | I was thinking we could display them in the forums somehow |
| 17:41:08 | bobdaduck | having a page that shows player profiles would be nice, but designing it would definitely be effort. |
| 17:41:24 | bobdaduck | I would not at all be opposed to removing badges period, I'm just trying to think of a way to make them work |
| 17:43:06 | bobdaduck | Displaying what badges people have on the forum profile page would work |
| 17:43:30 | Watusimoto_ | people like badges |
| 17:43:57 | Watusimoto_ | I don't; they're kind of a pain, but people do seem to like them |
| 17:51:40 | bobdaduck | They certainly don't add anything yet, though the fireworks and text and stuff is cool. |
| 17:56:36 | Watusimoto_ | I'm hoping that more easy-to-get achieveements will help adhere players to the game |
| 17:56:47 | Watusimoto_ | like "I got 4 trophies already, maybe I can get more" |
| 17:59:09 | bobdaduck | And then they realize there's only like 8 total |
| 17:59:33 | bobdaduck | But I feel like since every game has achievements, that's not really enough anymore |
| 18:00:07 | bobdaduck | If we really wanted to adhere players, as repulsive as it sounds we'd want a shop system, where players get bitcoins and spend them on flashy content. |
| 18:00:41 | bobdaduck | Ship shapes and whatnot. |
| 18:01:23 | bobdaduck | I don't think badges are exciting enough to create retention |
| 18:01:36 | bobdaduck | Especially because they don't actually /do/ anything. |
| 18:05:40 | | Flynnn Quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) |
| 18:08:28 | Watusimoto_ | they look nice, and occupy too much developer time |
| 18:42:32 | | BFLogBot badges inspire fear in other players |
| 18:47:09 | Watusimoto_ | maybe we need a badge for killing the logbot |
| 18:48:37 | bobdaduck | logbot what |
| 18:49:14 | bobdaduck | I'VE BEEN TELLING YOU GUYS FOR YEARS THAT LOGBOT IS SENTIENT |
