Can the Combo Breaker badge work properly?

JuliusBorisovJuliusBorisov Member, Administrator, Moderator, Developer Posts: 22,714
I've been thinking about it for some time already. This forum provides a badge called "Combo Breaker". The conditions to get it are quite hard: you should get 5 badges for 5 different things in one day. Check http://forum.baldursgate.com/badge/combo

And I see this badge hasn't been working properly - in the past we had @Abi_Dalzim‌ and @lolien‌ getting 5 badges in one day and still not getting the Combo Breaker badge. Today @Shandyr‌ has tgone through he same problem.

Of course I understand it's not a big deal in terms of the Devs' attention (we all are waiting and dreaming about the 1.3 patch and IWD:EE and then we have the Adventure Y) but it's a pity that such a hard to get badge is not given if all the conditions are met.

Maybe there's a way to fix this problem? @Dee @Jalily‌ :)

    The only way, short of Vanilla fixing the bug on their end, is to PM an administrator and ask them to manually assign the badge.

    Maybe it didn't count because I got 2 Insightful badges?

    Got the badge, so apparently not a problem with 2 insightful badges. Yay!

    Had to apply it manually, sadly. But y'all should be good to go.

    Thanks!

    LOL, when I go to
    http://forum.baldursgate.com/badges
    and check the time I received the combo breaker badge, it says

    "You earned this September 2012 from System: “C-c-c-combo!”"

    Lol?

    @lolien @Abi_Dalzim‌ what does it say for you there?

    @Shandyr‌, your link shows this for me:

    @Dee‌

    We have a new member who has to get this badge:

    @Luridel‌ with the new scald playthrough has managed to get 5 badges today: 1st and 2nd anniversary, 5 likes, Name Dropper and 25 likes.

    Congratulations to @Luridel‌ - what a sweet coming to the forum 2 years after the registration :)

    @bengoshi Thank you! I don't think I seem to have actually earned the badge - perhaps it's on the same day as opposed to within twenty-four hours? (What timezone does this forum work in?)

    @Luridel‌, the combo-breaker badge is broken, you get it, when an admin give it to you manually. 'Grats anyhow!

    A note to the admins: @cmk24 should get the Combo Breaker badge: yesterday he managed to get badges for 100 likes, 100 agrees, 100 insightfuls, for the twitter connection and being photogenic. Congratulations!

    Ha! See? Now we have discovered a way how even old forum members can get the combo breaker badge!
    Just stay away for 5 years and when you get back you'll get 5 anniversary badges at once :)
    Hmmm ok... I'll be back in 2022 :)

    Just wait until people start getting the 5th anniversary badge; I imagine there are at least a few people who will log on and get all 5 at once...
