Pandamaniac Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Ok, I have been wondering if there was something wrong with the backer portal, since some people have the Kickstarter icon and others don't, even though they backed during the Kickstarter (like me). I also remember getting the retail package listed on the second page, instead of the Kickstarter package. So here is my hypothesis: Any paypal pledge takes precedence over an existing Kickstarter pledge, and marks your account as not being an Original Kickstarter backer. This makes sense to me, since I pledged via Kickstarter and added additional funds via Paypal before the grace period was over. However, before I submit this formally, I would like to test my hypothesis. If you could, please post if you backed on KS, if you gave money on paypal, both, or were a slacker backer. I am expecting only "KS only" people to have the Kickstarter packages, with Kickstarter & Paypal backers given retail packages along with paypal backers (regardless of the timeliness of their pledge. Example: I backed via Kickstarter and Paypal. I can then see if the icons given match up with my hypothesis (which mean we have found the problem, and can have Obsidian fix it), or if there is another explanation. Thank you! Pandamaniac
Sensuki Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 I backed Kickstarter through Kickstarter, I didn't get a KS icon. 2
Pandamaniac Posted December 11, 2013 Author Posted December 11, 2013 I backed Kickstarter through Kickstarter, I didn't get a KS icon. No additional pledge? If so, hypothesis is wrong, and I can close the thread. Thanks!
Azzy Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Yup kickstarter only here and well as you can see
Technatorium Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 They are aware of the issue. There is now a thread by one of the Moderators so that people can get their Kickstarter badges. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/64773-kickstart-backer-badge/ I was missing one as well until about an hour or so ago.
Maf Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 I was missing one, until I remembered I didn't actually use kickstarter to pledge

Messier-31 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) PayPal Albeit during the KS campaign... Edited December 11, 2013 by Messier-31 It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air...
Maf Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 PayPal Albeit during the KS campaign... As did I, but you have your badge sir! It's probably for the best, else we'd be scrolling up n down too much xD 1
Pipyui Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 There are probably many others like me who are just waiting for the workload on the site to fall, and for any bugs to be ironed out. Plus, I'm not so sure I want my pledge badges. I'm not much of a "bling" guy.

It's probably for the best, else we'd be scrolling up n down too much xD I hope they will consider moving the K badge next to the backer badge instead of below it. I don't like vertically stacked badges... Or even let us turn them on/off as we wish. Edited December 11, 2013 by Technatorium 1
Ranayna Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Just another data point: i backed during kickstarter, but only with Paypal.

I don't like vertically stacked badges... Or even let us turn them on/off as we wish. Definitely agree we should be able to toggle them. To the suggestion pile with this thread! No rush though, more important things await outside the forums! Edited December 11, 2013 by Maf
Tauron Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 I backed Kickstarter through Kickstarter, I didn't get a KS icon. Same thing here. I didnt get either. On my edit profile i see it. But it is not visible on forum.
rustypup Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Backed on KS (PayPal)... Alternate theory... the KS icon chaps included the KS icon add-on in their pledge? Alternate alternate theory...modifying the pledge in the new portal flushes any indication of having pledged during KS.... Are you gonna throw rocks at me? What about now? .. What about now?
Unfaced Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Bakced 40$ via Kickstarter and about 140 via PAypal with the Backersite - and no KS Badge
