Though there aren't really any perks, you can not befriend Kludge Dropcolumn :(.

Sweet! I got the badge as well.

Should this be in the news?

*checks mail*

Hmmm :-\ That's odd, how did I get that game beta badge... Oh yea, I remember now, that game I played was a long time ago.... wow..

Post by: Kritzelei on October 21, 2009, 12:03:13 pm
I got the badge too! Finally. Yes, this should be in the news I think.
Didn't expect to become friends with Kludge, but it would have been good to see what the MLN beta testers got. Ah well.

Nice to get the badge, but unfortunate to see that apparently Lego is done with LRC.  If we get confirmation that they're not going to do anything to it, I will probably give my team's leadership to someone else.

Finnaly the badge. Took em' long enough. I hate how they take so long just to do small things like this...

Hate's a strong word, but you are correct, it would seem that the little things, that keep us ammused and coming back, don't sit high on there list of things to do....

K, what's my surprise?  0:)


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Darth Rexus on October 21, 2009, 02:56:45 pm
I can't reply to the message, because I have about 50 messages in my inbox and I'm to lazy to get rid of them ;D.


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Legodac on October 21, 2009, 03:08:00 pm
Here's a little irony, humour and alot of truth.
MsRR sent me a mail in MLN saying "look at my new badge", I didn't have to of course, I got one too. The funny part is, is that the choice of easy replies, the one I chose to reply with was, "Wow, that must have taken forever", and that's also the truth. The additional interaction was cool, especially when you could talk to your apponent, and MsRR and I had alot of races (she usually won, I'm a gentlemen eh, most of the time).
   Anyways, main point, I hope they don't bring it back, it was fun yet to drawn out, all in all, it took way to much time to play just one race.

Post by: Flash-әdge on October 21, 2009, 05:26:53 pm
Well, good to see. Fortunately, I'm still sticking with my team, though I doubt I'll be racing a lot in the near future. (Actually haven't raced ever since the glitch  ::) )


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Tom on October 21, 2009, 05:55:34 pm
Wait, people continued playing the game after the first week? :P

I got my badge and item, guess I better play this and that other game some more.


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Flash-әdge on October 21, 2009, 06:00:55 pm
Er... two weeks on-and-off before I stopped :P

Is it just me or are those medals hard to get?


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: mtmerrick on October 21, 2009, 06:01:58 pm
you mean badges? yep.

yeah, i played for 2 days. :P


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: The Truth on October 21, 2009, 06:08:49 pm
I joined the beta test a week after it started, and didn't get the badge. people that didn't join the test until the mods opened it to everyone got the badge. I'd be upset, but it seems like the badge doesn't do anything.

Sure it does, makes me feel like a boyscout again, the more badges I got, the better I felt, and feeling good is more then "anything", it's something, it's what's life's all about, feeling good about it that is.


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Tommy_60 on October 21, 2009, 06:17:53 pm
I got the badge!  Alas, I am finally a Beta tester for SOMETHING!


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: TheMan44217 on October 21, 2009, 06:27:30 pm
About time the badge came out.  ::)


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on October 21, 2009, 06:32:30 pm
Same here, but meh, I likely won't be playing LRC anyway, so might as well have one good thing come out of it =P And by playing I mean anymore =P


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on October 21, 2009, 09:47:12 pm
I might have continued playing if they had let us switch teams...


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Master X: Neo Black on October 22, 2009, 06:20:35 am
Woohoo! Another badge for my collection!


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Ddude The Insane on October 22, 2009, 09:13:47 am
Heeeeeeeey D=

I never got my badge. I mean, I didn't play it much, but I discovered it like 5 minutes after the first person did. And then I was JUST BARELY too late to post a new topic about it =P


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Flash-әdge on October 22, 2009, 12:42:39 pm

No, the Robot Chronicle things.

*Chuckles* I know what you mean.

I might have continued playing if they had let us switch teams...
Same... and if they had reset it and actually removed some of the glitches.


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: The Truth on October 22, 2009, 02:14:05 pm
I emailed Lego about how I participated in the test but didn't get the badge, and I got a non-automated response (after five tries), and they said they'll look into it.


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: B~T on October 22, 2009, 03:06:29 pm
@Master X - I deleted one of your posts since it has nothing to do with the topic., That kind of comment goes in profile comments.  ;)

Yay! One more badge for my collection! I don't think I'll ever return to LRC since it is becoming boring...


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: 1legosam on October 22, 2009, 06:27:48 pm
Wait, how did you guys get the badge?


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Flash-әdge on October 22, 2009, 06:51:12 pm

It's sent to you in your MLN mail ;)

I never got it...? Maybe I'll get it soon then.

About time... lets hope it doesn't suck as badly as the Beta version.

Hm... if you didn't get it, you should probably contact LEGO.


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: TheMan44217 on October 23, 2009, 09:18:58 pm
Mainly, you don't get the badge if you didn't get the message in April of padleman wheelie giving you the link to test the game. My brother and sister didn't get the badge and they didn't get the message months ago.

Oh, don't worry... I think it's the same stuff. ;)


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Ddude The Insane on October 28, 2009, 09:06:54 am
Heh, w00t. =D I got the badge finally. I think they gave it to the newer people first and then worked their way toward the people in the original Beta.


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on October 30, 2009, 05:43:02 pm
Same here. I think they chose names out of a hat =P ... A rather large hat, but a hat.

Hey, wheres my "best LRC racer badge"? I was expecting that


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on November 01, 2009, 05:55:04 pm
You were probably overtaken, or they just stuck to Beta testers =P


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Plotkin on November 01, 2009, 05:56:53 pm
Hey, first guy to class W should get a major pwnage badge


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Ddude The Insane on November 01, 2009, 08:59:12 pm
...I like the way you think, Plotkin. =P

Wait, when'd you star posting again? O_o

I wonder if this LRC badge will have any uses down the road...


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Saturn2.0 on November 01, 2009, 09:13:29 pm
*grumble*

I wasn't qualified to beta-test, being in rank 2 back then (CRAYOLA!).

-I also told Pedalman Wheelie if he put any mail in my mailbox, good or not, he will walk home wearing an eyepatch and a peg-leg.


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Plotkin on November 02, 2009, 02:52:07 pm
Yeah, I like youre sprechen. I didnt spend that many hours to get the same badge. How dare they. And LRC doesnt load, ever


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on November 02, 2009, 02:59:33 pm
That it does. And it's way more fun. *Is currently playing it*


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Flash-әdge on November 02, 2009, 03:00:54 pm
True... and I think most users would have preferred a "glitchy" DRC anyway ::)

Poor Plotkin... all that time wasted and no reward :P


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: The Truth on November 02, 2009, 03:05:49 pm
I sent a bug report to Lego, and they replied that, even though I should have received the badge (I reached rank C within the first month of the test), they cannot give it out anymore. Oh well.


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Flash-әdge on November 02, 2009, 03:07:11 pm
...?

Well, that stinks.

First we get a water-downed game, and now deserving members can't get badges ???


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Flash-әdge on November 02, 2009, 03:10:38 pm
Agreed on both points.

It's the least that users could get, after waiting this whole time just to be disappointed.

The game was a killjoy, at least give the members what they deserved.


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Flash-әdge on November 02, 2009, 03:20:04 pm
That too ::)


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Saturn2.0 on November 02, 2009, 08:21:39 pm
I agree on that pawn badge, unfortunately, LEGO will say, "we will make the badge, expect it to be finished sometime in the year 9.99x10999999" >_>


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Plotkin on November 03, 2009, 05:06:08 am
Hey, if Im getting a badge....

And the robot chronicle game gets soooo confusing sometimes. And that first race is a killer. I'm not sure which badge youre supposed to have, either, the key or the hero badge


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on November 03, 2009, 11:19:29 am
Key. But make sure you befriend the mayor first, otherwise you won't be able to.


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Plotkin on November 03, 2009, 03:08:33 pm
So those other 3 badges from the other people are used to create another badge, right?


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on November 03, 2009, 03:11:14 pm
Yeah, which is then used to create a final badge(... But make sure you befriend the mayor, or making that final badge will mean you can't make that or get any of the rewards.).


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Plotkin on November 03, 2009, 10:28:09 pm
man am I glad I did. BTW, you can just keep doing the game over and over and over, as it isnt linked to your MLN profile directly


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on November 04, 2009, 11:11:23 am
You can't get more than 11 racing trophies though currently. But you can play as much as you want anyway, just delete one of your games and start over. =P


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: The Truth on November 04, 2009, 01:18:57 pm
I reported the inability to get more than 11 trophies to Lego, and they said that they'd forwarded it to the games designer. Maybe they'll fix it!


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on November 04, 2009, 01:23:49 pm
Hopefully; I want a complete set of badges for once. =P


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Flash-әdge on November 04, 2009, 02:21:38 pm
*Wholeheartedly agrees* :D


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Plotkin on November 04, 2009, 02:51:09 pm
I'm confused. How many racing badges do you need?? And how do I get the agent ones and hats? specifically the hats


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on November 04, 2009, 02:57:55 pm
In total for every badge? You'd need three. You can only get one though, so you can only make the higher up badges once. You can make multiple Agents and City Rookie Badges though...

And you get Dossiers from the Infestation mission(Go to the Agents building in the main Lego City), and Hardhats from the towing missions(The tow place near the garage in LEGO City where you race.).


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Plotkin on November 04, 2009, 04:01:23 pm
ah, ok. I currently have 3 games going, 1 at school. lol. and I have like 9 racing things. But almost none of the others

Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: mtmerrick on November 05, 2009, 03:16:26 pm
no. not really interested. :P i only played it at first cuz it tied in w/ MLN


Title: Re: Great Job, Test Driver
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on November 05, 2009, 03:19:12 pm
Yeah, I only played it because it was supposed to be DRC's sequel, not a reused failure.

I've got. On MLNTeam MSRRH said ' If you reply to the message you get a suprise.' When I saw that message, I deleted the message on MLN!!! I'm soooo stupid.  >:(
