I'd Like to Thank the Academy...
So, Update 2 for CoH just went live on the servers. I managed to log in for three minutes before being booted again (and for once, it's not the non-broadband, but the poor CoH servers being bombarded by everyone and their dog trying to get in to see what it's like).
The big thing for me, considering that I'm not interested in capes (they don't look good on my current character, who wears a battlesuit), is badges - and admittedly, I wasn't even that bothered about them. I liked the game just fine before. But anyway, logging in told me that I have gained two badges - the 'Negotiator' badge, for stopping a gang war between the Skulls and the Clockwork, and the 'Protector of Innocents' badge, for achieving level 10. Personally, I had half-expected to have gotten one of the badges they award you for dying a certain amount of time - they have names like 'Unflinching' and the like, so you don't feel like too much of a maroon - considering the way I've been playing for the past few days.
Ah well. Back to trying to log in.
