Proof that practice makes (nearly) perfect.

Yes, both arcs can be found in their respective sides' Ouroboros listing, within the level 25-29 range. Look for Vincent Ross (red-side) and Roy Cooling (blue).

Oh yeah...duh. Since they're simply codes and you "claim" them by inputting the code into your account, that would make it kind of tough, huh?

Geez, now where did my Geritol and that cane get to...?

There is a limit -- it's 10 (just tested).

Are you saying that you can only track up to 5 different attributes on a toon? If so, that's not true -- I have toons where I have 10+ statistics (i.e., stealth radius, various defense and resistance numbers, inf, accuracy, to-hit, damage, etc.) selected and tracked in my little 'real stats' window.

I very much doubt it -- the way I read that blurb is as "flavor text". I think it simply has to do with the story line of the event tied to getting the new badge.

I'm sure the new badge is available to all toons equally regardless of alignment.

Same here. Use the vidiotmaps site to locate them by map location and picture, possibly you're just barely missing them somehow.

You won't have much luck with these, since there are no such things as far as I'm aware.

Good luck on the other items, though, that's a neat thing to do for a friend who gets a kick out of stuff like that!

Well, at least according to my experience, this is not true.

My badge character is a Scrapper (and nearly 6 years old), so has obviously only recently been a villain. When I began, it's true that Maros wouldn't speak to me, but after the first mission (after selecting the second mission), I WAS able to speak to him and work with him just like Snow Globe detailed above (switching between he and Ansaldo in my case).

I don't see why it wouldn't, they are "normal" Legacy Chain enemies.

That was not my experience at all -- as Snow said, they alternate (one will not talk to you, but the other will, and then vice-verse the next mish).

Same here, and as I mentioned, I was brushed off by the contact with the standard dialogue.

EDIT: Tried again, and was able to talk to Ansaldo successfully, so hopefully I can get the badge this time...

EDIT 2: Tried yet again, and used Snow's "alternate between two contacts" strategy, which did finally work. Thanks for the advice, guys.

Outside in the zone? If that's your question, I got the standard "You have more important things to attend to" message in response.

Thanks for mentioning this, Snow, I doubt I'd have noticed if you hadn't.

However -- as a Hero-gone-Villain-gone-Rogue (currently), my toon is unable to get any of the mission entrance radios to respond, including the one right at the beginning of the first mission in the arc (I'm using Ouroboros to access it, since I'm a 50). Since I seem unable to raise any of the three "side" contacts to interact with them, I was not able to earn the Connected badge (although completing the penultimate mission earned me the Keeper of the Coral Lore badge as might be expected).

Has anyone else had trouble like this? I tried re-running the arc again via Ouroboros, and still am unable to get the radio near the entrance to respond to my character (am I just missing something really obvious?).

...or maybe he wants to concentrate on a different boost for his build...

This times a million!

This is incorrect. Rogues and Vigilantes operate exactly the same as far as badges go -- Vigilantes count as "pure heroes" (as you put it) for the same type of badges that Rogues count as "pure villains" for.

Except for the important fact that with some badges, you can accrue credit toward the badge, but cannot receive the actual badge until you are a "pure" hero or villain (for instance, Day Job badges).

I believe this may be the case with the badge in question also (although it's been awhile since I did it on my hero-turned-villain badge toon).
