Why Greg, why???

How much are you being paid to give Battalion games badges? They are stupidly repetitive and overly boring. I don’t see any difference in the games at all and they require absolutely zero skill. Please give badges to deserving games (Pel), not generic old games that no-one would play otherwise.

Ahh shit- MORE of these freakin’ badges?

Your tears fuel me.

not generic old games that no-one would play otherwise

Yeah, greg. Don’t give those people who played Battalion prior to it receiving badges the privilege of acknowledgment. Everyone knows that these games aren’t worth playing without the badges!

It was an exaggeration. But, look at Pel’s plays, and look at Battalion’s plays without badges. Even adjusting for time on the site, it’s still a heck of a difference… (Note to greg, if you give Pel badges, you gets a cookie)

The API doesn’t even work properly. Any reason why we are giving badges to games with crap API implementations instead of the numerous games listed HERE!!?!?

Beginning to wonder if you’re just looking at Kongregate’s favourite developers on face value rather than actually testing the games :S

Something is definitely up with Battalion Ghost’s badges, but I don’t think it’s related to the API. They worked fine during testing, and stats are showing up on the high score listing. I’ve been spending the past few after-work hours trying to figure out what’s wrong, with little success. :(

I think I could tolerate Battalion if the movement animations were just a little bit faster- it currently takes so long just for the enemy to take a turn (especially on the unit-saturated maps) that all the fun is sucked right out.

I’m kind of pissed that Red Fluxion is rated too low for badges right now >_>

Well, even though I hate the game, the badges are remarkably easy. I think I was 5th to get the hard :). It helps when you log on 3 seconds after the badges are uploaded.

The highscore worked for a short time when I just got to this game on my alt…… But it’s not working now. Got the bonus map badge after I refreshed, but no luck on other badge progress. (Challenge progress stuck on “You need 4 more”, hard badge stopped reporting after I finished chapter 3 on hard.)

The game still has a rating of 4.17 after the badges, which would still be high up on the list with only 3 games higher with proper API. The 3 are Protector III, Minions, and Interactive Buddy.

Here’s a tip Greg: Check the games API before making badges for stats that don’t submit properly, if it all.

I had a good laugh at one of the badges names actually. You know which one Greg.

Thanks professor.

I doubt that’s ever happened before. Game works fine before badges, they get added and KAPOW the API gets knocked out.

Think about what you’re saying for a moment. Badges in a game have never worked before badges were added.

It is not the API. The stats are being submitted. I saw them while testing, I see them now, and I see them in the high score listing.

Haha, that cracked me up for some reason.
Anyway, the Battalion series is not that bad. There are plenty of others games to play and badges to earn if you feel that strongly against those games.

I have played plenty of other games, and earned badges on them. It’s just I want to get EVERY badge (besides Bible Fight) And that’s why I feel compelled to play them.

I wonder what the issues is Batallion? The badges seem to be working fine now, as well as the challenge. I’m curious what the problem was and what was done to fix it.

I see your point. Still, there have been badges worse than the ones for Battalion. I doubt that you like every game that receives them.
I wish you the best of luck with getting all the badges though. :)

Issues I’ve experienced:
Bonus map badge only awards after refresh.
Completing Mission 2 or 3 (I stopped bothering after this) on hard does not register.
Completing Mission 10 on hard registers as beating Mission 9, and medium badge does not award even after refresh.

sellyme, is the API working for you? Seems weird it’s working for some people and not others…

Thank you. Anyway, the only badges I hate worse than Battalion are Bible Fight and Stick Arena Ballistick (due to the fact you can’t play it in Australia unless you have uber internet.). There are some more I dislike but can tolerate. (Balloon Invasion, Monsters Den)

Ugh, no, mission 3 isn’t registering for me. I still have some issues getting the missions to register on hard mode.

I would always get disconnected from Stick Arena too. I had to go over to my brother’s house and use his fast internet just to get the badges. (the hard one was rather easy though, due to the fact that most of my opponents were 10-12)
Anyway, as far as issues for the Battalion badges, I’m sure that greg will be able to fix them.

Oh, upon refreshing it TOOK AWAY (how is that even possible?) all the cleared missions besides mission 2. This is a little ridiculous. Has anyone else encountered this particular issue?

By the way, I’ve found that everyone really has different opinions on what makes a good game and what doesn’t make a good game. I’m not a huge fan of TSG: Missions for example, but I enjoy Batallion. I just hope this frustration gets cleared up so I can continue to enjoy the challenge of this great game.

I should join you. The game series gets worse every time a new game comes out. The First game was was ok. Not Great but it would do. The rest of the Battalion series got worse and nothing improved. More bugs appeared and more crashes were experienced by me. Badges sometimes wouldn’t report as well…
