  1. Hmm, perhaps you received it and don't know it -- are you looking in the "Gladiator" section of your badges for it? (It's not in the "PVP" section.)

    Did you win all of them?

    Just like with most every example like this -- people looking for badges. Perhaps they received the recipe as a drop, along with some or all of the required salvage, and just crafted it for badge credit before looking up what it typically sells for.

    /shrug

    I'm not sure why you all are getting twisted up over "why" -- people are odd creatures, and do all sorts of odd things for odd reasons (sometimes for no particular reason at all).

    But since the markets are cross-server, inf can be "traded" in that way.

    Is Caleb broken?

    I've found this to be true in my experiences red-side -- we've seen him flying (usually low) over islands other than Thorn Isle for sure.
  7. No, we won't know until a dev comments, or we see something during (open) testing.

    As it stands now, no, Primal Earth toons wouldn't be able to get the badge since it exists in the tutorial for Praetoria...
  8. Magellen, I recommend you drop in on the PvP forums and ask over there. I'm sure you'll get some great advice on what build(s) you might look into.

    Best of luck!

    Bona fides

    Congrats on the haul, Devil!

    Umm, yes, but only for that "session". Try it and see what I mean -- the warning will be back the next time you interface with your salvage (even during same log-on session).

    Yes indeed, this is one QoL feature that I profoundly wish was disableable...

    And congrats!
  15. Since he IS a GM, yes, I believe that the usual GM badge rules apply, which is that your team has to do 10% of the damage to get badge credit toward the GM.

    From the wiki:

    When defeating this monster you would have to have done at least 10% of the damage to it to receive an award. This would mean 10% of total damage done to the monster, not its total Hit Points. This includes any damage done by opposing NPC mobs that the Giant Monster may have been attacked by before you defeated it.

    Any of the "big 3" (Miracle +Recovery, Numina's +/+, LotG +Recharge) can be had for 2 HV Merits, and each one sells (crafted) for in excess of 100 mil (and sometimes much more than even that). There are some others that are also in that stratosphere, such as low-level (like 15) versions of Unbounded Leap or Celerity +Stealth.

    A note on level, in my experience: I've been purchasing and crafting LotG +Recharge IOs, and I either cash my HV Merits in for a level 25 (lowest level for LotG) or a level 50, because as a general rule people seem to more highly value either an extremely low-level IO (such as for a lowbie, or for exemping purposes), or a max-level one (50 for LotG, 40 for Miracle, etc.).

    Yeah, this. We already have some pretty amazing toons out there, even WITH ED. Personally, after I got over the shock to my system, I began liking ED.

    Same here.

    Level 1, per today's announcement -- even better.
  22. Usually you have to wait for a new version that is compatible with the current Live build.

    Also, many peoples' problems can be solved by right-clicking and selecting "Run as administrator". If nothing else, give that a try.

    Hell, I hope this includes the Shadow Shard. Because I'm weird like that.
    MOAR BADGES is always > fewer badges. True story.

    Yes indeed, they were "bound on pickup" during the I18 Beta preview we had. Who knows whether they will be when I19 happens, but I'd be willing to bet that won't change.
