I cant read the artical (stupid work filters). But to me it would seem that most of the stuff on it would probably be speculation. I bet they just put things on there thats been rumored for a while now. Ill wait for the official word from our friends at cryptic first.

[/ QUOTE ]

They have screenshots. I'm assuming that much like their preview/hintings at Winter Event 05, it's official and real.

*mumbles about CoH barely getting anything, again*

*and also mumbles about how the patron powers appear to be a bit of a letdown*

Are the Bug Hunter and Passport badges active, or was the artwork developed, and the badges never implemented?

[/ QUOTE ]

Both are fully implemented, just not totally activated.

A single player, on a single character has Bug Hunter for discovering a nasty Pretige exploit. It's GM awarded, in this case. There has been some talk of awarding it to anyone who has participated in Beta, hopefully for all characters.

Passport was obtainable through a bug with the CoV pre-order. It's presumably related to Server Transfers, but is otherwise unobtainable in-game for now.

[ QUOTE ]
You see each "Issue" has their own badge list (Ish 2 and 3 are combined, but 4 thru 7 all have their own list). Each list comes after the other one in the badge display order. Thats why newer badges appear towards the bottom of their combined lists.

Now why is City of Villains badges so so so screwed up? That's because CoV also repuposes at lot of Ish 2 through 5 stuff, and thus those badges are on earlier "lists".

[/ QUOTE ]

Fair enough. But what about Issue 6? The PVP badges (Gladiator Wins, Reputation, Missions, and Time Spent) are completely mixed up.

[ QUOTE ]
Yeah since it doesn't have a group label of the zone, its a pain to find first the zone, then the badge you are looking for. Would like something a little more user-friendly. Not game-breaking for me or anythign, just figured while we were asking.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh, I know. I would love to see some organization or re-listing options.

I was just pointing that there's at least some semblance of organization on the CoH badge lists. Don't get me started about CoV though.

[ QUOTE ]
Edited to say: I also agree with the above poster. I would love to actually have sort options:Alpha, Zone, Type, etc. If that is not possible, I would love to see a better sorting put in.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, exploration badges are already sorted in alphabetical order by zone. Atlas Park (well, Abandoned Sewers before that) first and The Hive at the end. The only exceptions might be Multidimensional, Shrouded, and the Croatoa ones.

[ QUOTE ]
Speaking of Arbiter Leery, did he ever get fixed?
(for those not in-the-know, he only gives you missions if you have the first Respec badge and have not used your respec. Once you use it, he ignores you.)

[/ QUOTE ]

He's fixed on Test, from what I've heard.

[ QUOTE ]
Positron, all of my characters have a "Passport" Accolade badge. What is it for? And why did I get it?

[/ QUOTE ]

That would be a bug stemming from some mixup with the CoV pre-orders.

If you didn't input a CoV pre-order code, then it's something new.

Well that's the oddball part. Several badges are already coded for hero and villain titles, but at the same time earlier mentions of the switch system said that you'd lose your badges.

I have it on good authority that Jake is in fact... a 5th Column Mekman.

[/ QUOTE ]
So, when Jake appears as a woman or a homeless man... he's a robot... in disguise!

[/ QUOTE ]

So the 5th Column are behind the development of Freedom Phalanx...

Um...it's fun?

For those that played WoW you know who Leeroy Jenkins is. Guess who he works for. yep Arachnos. 2nd the guy is an idiot, about as much an idiot as that woman whos name escapes me that works in Atlas MAGI that lost every single magic item to the CoT, and the hero had to go retrieve it. Sometimes just 2 missions later.

For those that don't know Leeroy Jenkins, well do a search on WoW Leeroy and you will find a nice little movie about idiots in MMO games.

[/ QUOTE ]

Acctualy, he isn't the famous Leeroy Jenkins. He's acctualy just Jenkins and was spawned from a thread where someone wished you could work your way up the Crimal ladder by working for each gang and it turned into a thread of jokes where a criminal, a first called you and was later named Jenkins. He worked for every gang and inevitably quit them or gave his two weak notice. In a patch the Devs renamed the Wolf Spider at the end of Breakout Jenkins as a response to that thread, alot like the Kill Skuls badge.

[/ QUOTE ]

Seriously? It's always been said to have been a Leeroy Jenkins reference... This must've been early beta...

He certainly acts like Leeroy Jenkins. T.T

[ QUOTE ]
And wasn't Revive number 7 on that lovely little list before? Did they jumble the Regen order?

[/ QUOTE ]

Pretty sure Revive was always number 8.

When the hell did they switch Quick Recovery and Reconstruction??

((Normally I am on the Triumph server where my roleplaying attempts are met with the sound of crickets. Recently I have gotten CoV and I wish to know if Virtue is carrying their roleplaying status over to Mercy Island as well? If that is the case I will gladly join in the fun on Virtue! Also, the guide is wonderful in details to help a fledgling like myself create a more rounded character that will roleplay easily. Thanks!))

[/ QUOTE ]

Virtue is continuing the RP tradition into CoV, but the overall community for it is not as well set-up as it is in Paragon.

The primary problems stem from disagreements over where "The Spot" should be, along with weaker core groups. For one, instead of on Mercy Island, the two favored spots are in Port Oakes. Secondly, a lot of people are out enjoying the new content first before settling down to RP.

So has the Toy Collector Accolade been confirmed one way or the other:

100 "Nice" Presents opened?

-OR-

200 Total Presents opened?

[/ QUOTE ]

200 total.

I'm amazed how fast the "Toy Maker" error was passed along...

It's TOY COLLECTOR.

TOY. COLLECTOR.

Read the power description. It says it's a one charge, five minute duration pet.

You can get it more than once. I've gotten it three times.

But you can only hold one at a time, and use one at a time.

Has anyone gotten the SnowBeast temp power first, and then Snowballs later on?

[/ QUOTE ]

I have the SnowBeast power, still looking for the Snowballs. I don't have the collect 100 nice badge yet; a little over half way to it. Maybe I'll get lucky and pick the right place and time for the Snowballs temp present.

If anyone manages to have both powers trayed at once, I'd like to know. I'm really hoping it's not "you get one or the other, and that's it" sorta thing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Other people have confirmed getting both.

However I got the SnowBeast twice now, but not a single Snowball, and it's worrying me.

Has anyone gotten the SnowBeast temp power first, and then Snowballs later on?

Collecting a ton of presents also nets you the Toy Collector badge. Not sure how many, exactly, or if it matters whether you're naughty or nice.

[/ QUOTE ]

Was this confirmed somewhere?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah? I collected over 50 so far...

[/ QUOTE ]

Outdated post. Collect 100 Nice presents.

[ QUOTE ]
Are the badges ours to keep, or will they disappear with the jet packs too (considering how they're worded)?

Yea, I'm a badge monkey.

[/ QUOTE ]

There's only two times that badges can be taken away from you:

After using an earned respec (in order to replace it with the second version) and if a GM forcibly removes them.

Oh yeah, another NPC asked me for my autograph, because villain ones go for more on the internet than hero ones do.
