To MY knowledge, nobody on the staff has deleted any medals, but I may have an explaination.

Recently I launched a new beta for developers to add their own medals. These medals become instantly available, but require admin approval to actually be worth points. As some of you have noticed, some broken medals get retroactively un-approved and become worth 0 points, but what you may not know is that the developers and admins can actually delete and edit medals.

What may have happened is a developer made a bunch of medals worth high point values and realized they were too easy. Other possibilities are a few medals here and there got deleted so you may not have noticed a poin change since there is no longer any icon for that medal.

It's always a tough balance making an open system like this without occasionally pissing people off with points vanishing because developers may not be very cooperative in fixing medals, or others are trying to flat out abuse the system. Hopefully we'll get more and more of these wrinkles ironed out as things mature.

Congrats on the new addition to the family, PsychoGoldfish.

I just lost another 500 points. I have no idea where they went to.

Personally, I don't think some of the newer games are registering their points; or their medals are retroactively going back to 0, even though they still show points for them.

I went through Wylina's page, and did a fast recount for all the games with the total points listed on that page. They all seem to be in order. No changes.

The thing is, people began losing 500-1000 points last Thursday, or Friday. And now it seems more points were lost either today, or yesterday.

There is one odd thing. Medals for Valthrian Arc shows up on my medal's page, but are still locked on the game's page? Of course, this is one of those games that was not approved at first, and started with 0 point medals - which I still don't have most of the points for because I got most of them when they were still 0 pointers.

Yes, congratulations Goldfish.

And yeah Edy, I just lost around 800 or so from last night to now. So I don't know what's up with that.

Congrats on the girl! Thanks for the update on the medals.

Shouldn't someone out there be organizing the medals page and shouldn't the medal points be checked first before they are approved. I mean it's not fair that some users spend their time achieving the medals and then it suddenly vanishes.

Now the medals of the game "Super 3D Pig Feeder" appear in the official page of the games with medals!

Finally. I haven't played it yet because I was afraid of 0 point medals.

Apperantly these medals don't show their value and stuff when you roll over them at your profile. Their total value is 155. Anything to do with the point disappearance? Btw the first 2 are from 4 Swords Misadventures 7, the other one from ZOMGies.

Sorry for triple, but I just busted chris-marks' slash. In level 20 it 's possible to do an almost single slash through the outer circle. I immediatly got the Gold Miner-medal.

Greeneggs4spam, how can you have Shift 4 medals? Weren't they broken?

not always. When it first came out they were working. I'm not sure what the author did to break it. I think there's been other games where this has been the case too (worked at one point, but broken now), but I can't think of them right now.

Isn't there a site that keeps track of medal points and the top medal point users? Where is that at?

Also green, you were probably thinking off epic war 3 or one of the medieval rampages.

I knew I wasn't going crazy! Thanks for verifying everything, PG!

Alright, I was playing Larry and the Gnomes and I gave up on that third fucking boss. I know the controls are customizable, but with keyboard controls, it's too tedious to pick up a fruit, throw it at the boss, slash the boss before he leaps into the air, run in one direction, run in another direction and jump over him before he kills you in three hits, repeat. Not to mention, when you want to pick up your weapon after throwing a fruit at him, you're gonna accidentally pick up another fruit! And don't even bother just punching the boss either, because you'll be there all damn day!

Also, for an easy 50 point medal, just play the first level and make sure you only kill the gnomes with your fists, no weapons. Don't even try it in later levels!

I lost more medals. Seriously?

quick question...

paper warfair.... is it ment to be this hard on level 4!?!

*its lagging like a lama with no legs!*

I was able to get all of the medals for that game without any lag at all. I was using FF3.6 while playing by the way.

I encounterd that problem too, but only on my slower PC. Yours is probably too slow too.

seems that the medal "super slash" will not be adjusted, this is the author comment!

Everybody we are very sorry but we can't figure out why Super Slash medal not works on NG... It's really confusing for us because all other medals works same way!

what a pity! :(

Yeah, I've noticed the second round of point losses as well, although I wasn't affected this time.

What's even more bothersome is that we have heard almost nothing but silence from the NG staff on this. PsychoGoldfish was kind enough to offer an explanation, but some users have checked the game walkthroughs and found no changes in the medals.

Ng-medals.com keeps track of medal points, but the site has been down for some time.

i've gotten ~2000 medal points in two days. yup, guarana powder IS a 100 times better than coffee.
can someone help me with Gnomerdoon?

the venom mage and large gnomes medals are broken for me. did this happen to anyone else?
also, how do you get the sprint leap attack medal?

Yup, those two medals are broken.

For the sprint-jump attack medal just get all the gnomes to follow you to the side of the level. Then let them attack you to build up your rage bar. Use rage and do the sprint jump attack against the side of the level till their all dead.

Okay. After 4 tries in Gnomergeddon I finally get further than I ever have, which is level 18. Which was only 9 gems btw.

And I do a spring jump and downward slash into the enemies, and die before I hit the ground. So... I'm pretty pissed off. What the fuck are you supposed to do?

Level 18. Let me think... starts with a wave of bugs, doesn't it? I can't remember how hard it was. The most far I got was half of level 20. Got pretty pwnd on that point.

I didn't really have any trouble with that game. I got to level 19 and died right away on the mages the first time, but then the second time I beat it. I think the weapon is what does it. You want to get the fire enchanted weapons, specifically there's one that has like 13 damage+15 fire damage and that weapon is awesome all the way until you can get one of the big weapons that has somewhere between 25-28 base damage + 15 fire damage. The large weapons are the best late game imo since the knockback really saves you; however I think a lot of people don't like to use them because you attack slower.
