    I can't seem to find/redeem my constellation badge I bought years ago. This is the same Steam account and the same Forum account. I cannot redeem it or anything...

    Can't connect my steam account as it keeps logging me out instantly when I try to click on the "connect with steam" link

    Neither my constellation badge nor my Reinforced badge are showing after being linked to my Steam account. I am also using the same forum account I registered in 2004 and I know I had donated (My signature remains untouched from back in the day!)

    Any suggestions?

    Edit: PM'd AceDude!

    I guess we're hosed. I am also using my original steam account (which is constellation flagged in NS1 but not NS2).

    update: AceDude is a hero. He fixed my badge! It was associated with an old NS1 forum account I had forgotten about.

    Wish I still got that constellation badge. Donated back on the 9th anniversary and before the official cutoff date.

    I got a gift copy of ns2 instead..but eh.

    @Dean478
    The constilation program was for NS1 (the HL1 Mod) You sure, you just didnt preorder (free upgrade to deluxe +free game key).
    If not, email charlie whit the email address used when donating and a date of your donation (as close to it as posible).

    I had my rookie badge from steam yesterday, I upgraded to sanji survivor and my rookie badge disappeared, however I did not get a sanji either. Now I have lvl 5 and foil badge and neither will show.

    Only some servers support those badges (through a mod). They are not supported in any way by UWE or the Hive.

    This might be where it gets difficult. I definitely donated back in the day. The e-mail address could be one of 3 that I used to use. I still can probably gain access to it. This is still the same Steam account however. That hasn't changed. And the username/forum account should still be this one.

    I do have access to the PayPal/Bank Account that made the donation. And the donation I'm quite sure was towards the end of the original program.

    You have to link your badge to your forum account and then link your forum account to your steam account via hive. For more questions please open a thread in the tech support ;)

    Hi,
    Now that I am collecting badges, could somebody tell me if Reinforcement and Constellation badges are still exclusive, or if I can have both in-game ?

    Both badges will appear, actually you can get a maximum of 3 badges near your nickname on the ingame scoreboard. I just notice you have Constellation badge on the forums there so if you purchase any pack of Reinforcement program, you should be able to wear all your badges ingame. Constellation + whatever Reinforced badge (Supporter, Silver, Shadow, etc). Constellation = contributor from NS1. Reinforced = contributor on NS2.

    Hi,

    Badges are not earned by any ingame actions ( beside the commander badge ). All other badges are a rewards for supporting the ns2 community in some way.

    You can find a list of all badges and what they stand for here:
    Just look into ns2/ui/badges to see them all:

    I had a constellation badge a long time ago in NS1 but it disappeared for some reason once and you guys fixed it for me. I haven't played NS1 for a while and now started to play NS2 and found out that you can get that badge displayed however it's not showing up. How do I go about getting it back?

    I guess it would be a case off PM'ing an admin on the forums and they can take it from there @ironhorse maybe able to help with this, as they may need more information, or not.

    @LaPalida

    If you can show me any evidence at all of you once having it, like an email or a screenshot that's tied to a steam ID or an old forum account that shows it (I don't see it ever being applied to your account in the UWE forums, dating back to 2004) - then I can do it for you.

    That might be haaaard to get. I don't know what email I used at that time. I know I had it and I had to request to get it back once in the past as well as it got lost after some update. I'll try to dig up some evidence. I think I went through a bunch of computers since then... so screenshots pre-cloud days might be hard to come by ^^

    Bleh... searched all my emails and none of them go past 2007 :S not a chance getting that back at this point. Also as I recall the website and forums were different... before you guys went with this site. I'm pretty sure I requested it back in those forums... and I don't know if you kept the database. Maybe I requested it by email, I don't remember... it was more than 10 years ago lol.
  • LaPalidaLaPalida Join Date: 2004-09-01 Member: 31182Members, Constellation
    Is it possible to still log into NS1 and see if the badge is displayed in-game? I used to have that next to my name.
  • MaxAmusMaxAmus UK Join Date: 2003-12-26 Member: 24779Members, Constellation, NS2 Playtester, Reinforced - Shadow
    Hmm correct me if i am wrong, but i think the Auth server that checks for that, was taken offline? so no, you wont be able to see it in NS1.

    Bah! I give up. I'm out of ideas :/
