Branch Icons in game
« on: Monday, September 29, 2014, 17:38:52 PM »
Just curious to know what happened or how I can go about getting an active branch icon for myself and my brother. I am currently active duty in the U.S Army and my brother is in the Air Force. Has AA25 done away with these or are they still around to have beside your ingame name?

We can grant them manually, we just need some proof.

As far as I know, all branches get the same (Army Active) icon, though.

Your welcome wicked!

Now teddy, how come just active army icon when all icons should be available? Wouldn't make munch sence for my brother to serve as an air man but display an army icon. That would be like enlisted in the air force but wear army dress blues.

Well, since we are not really a part of the US army, I htink there is no way for us to determine which branch you're from. Besides, it makes our job easier that way. It's not like there's too many from different branches playing nowadays anyway.

Think of it this way. We have an icon for military members. Not specific branches. He wouldn't be getting an Army icon, but a military icon. Some of the icons have been re-purposed to show different things in game (playeradmin is one) and it was decided long ago that we only needed a single icon for military members. What's the point of having an icon for every branch when we can just have one for all military members? It's not like we have a huge amount of people requesting a military icon. I've only ever given 2 and the total for all admins isn't much higher than that. Most people simply don't ask for them.

The main problem is that some of the icon descriptions are wrong and the military icon doesn't even have any text letting players know what it is for. (also, "donator" isn't even a real word). There hasn't been enough reason to go and fix the military icon as, like I said, we rarely ever use it.

I understand what you guys are saying, I just like to give teddy a hard time because he loves giving me a hard time  ;)

I have a donations tag beside my name currently because I contributed to assist to help out if I can and would like to in anyway possible, hence the reason I posted this thread after our conversation killaman. It's not that big of a concern to me, it's just I'm proud to serve and like others to see that as well.

Sounds as if you wish to cry to sleep holding me, like Spanky does :D (reference)
