It's dangly bits.

I happened to click on a little person today, and she asked me "Is that a trademark violation?"

Arch Mage of Agony is from completeing the 3rd Shard TF

I don't mean to take this discussion off course, but I did this TF before I5. I don't have the TF badge, but I got the gladiator....

[/ QUOTE ]

It's not from doing the TF. I've never gone near the last three SS TFs (yet), but I still have AMoA.

[ QUOTE ]
Now that being said, I rolled up my character last night, got him to level 6 and saw someone with the Tutorial badge and went "Doh! I forgot to get it!"

[/ QUOTE ]

Hah!

I can say with 100% certainty that the only badge from Breakout is Jail Bird.

The other badge bar that shows up is for damage taken.

[ QUOTE ]
fish boy(Capt Mako) played Manticore (as confirmed by himself.)

[/ QUOTE ]

Um.......

I would assume that all of the known red names played the character they are.

Thus, Jack = States, Posi = Positron, War_Witch = War Witch, Ravenstorm = Ravenstorm.

Dunno who Synapse or Sister Psyche were though.

Yes, I'm almost 100% sure that's what the missing three accolades are - the post respec respec badges.

And this also explains why sometimes they go out of order, because you're being re-rewarded the badge and it's getting tacked on.

Don't pick a fight with the system or the devs who try to keep everything fair, pick a fight with the idiots who abuse the system so things need to be implemented to stop it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Except that the system isn't all that fair. And I doubt he meant soloing a monster either. Why can't dozens of heroes (ergo, going over the 8-per team "limit") simply converge on a monster, not necessarily teaming up?

Plus, aren't the badges for the Paladin and Lusca rewarded based on being close to where the "events" are defeated/stopped/won? How is that not abusable?

Let's not forget characters who don't do a whole lot of damage, such as Controllers or Defenders, but can still contribute by making sure nobody dies.

[ QUOTE ]
If you do (or are on a team that does) 25% or more of the Giant Monster's HP in damage, then you (your team) will receive the badge for defeating the Giant Monster.

So up to 4 teams can get the badge off a single Giant Monster, if each did EXACTLY 25% of the Giant Mos hit points (not likely).

[/ QUOTE ]

Has the dev team examined how broken this system is?

The file has been updated and modified since I reported that last correction, yes, and is available.


BTW, I did mention in this thread that the original links no longer work, for those who missed that.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's nice, but you expect people that just stumbled upon this thread to read the entire thing to find out where the real links are? Can't you edit the original post with fresh links?

[/ QUOTE ]

For whatever reason, there's a timer set on all posts, and when that timer is up, you can no longer edit it.

[ QUOTE ]
Fixed now I think

[/ QUOTE ]

Just to be anal, because I'm insane about badges, you still have the rest of the X Times the Victor badges labeled as "non-implemented/non-working".

You're off on a couple.

You missed Geas, which is implemented, at the bottom, then cut off the extra slots. Also, you labeled all the X Times the Victors as unimplemented.

I filled in most of the holes for you. Most of them are easy to pick out (like X Times the Victor ones) others aren't since you're never going to get the badges in-game.

I'm pretty sure the ???s are all badges that have not been programmed in to have both names and badge text. I have a feeling two of them in the last block must be "Corsair" and "Spectral" though.

THATCHRUEF no longer exists at that address. And at no address, for the time being. Hopefully this week I can finally bring 'er back up.

I would like to point out something I strongly believe.

IMO, they will not datamine and award pestige for being in SG mode before CoV.

I believe as the badges were too much of an undertaking for this staff, this would be also.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's already been confirmed that they have been actively recording SG mode usage and prestige aquisitions, since probably Issue 4.

[/ QUOTE ]

No. We have NOT been recording SG mode since ANY issue. I will also confirm that NO datamining will be happening (for exactly the reasons given above).

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmm. I think that's the second time I've had a dev reply to one of my posts.

*marks down "Convention Reports" on the "Do Not Trust" list*

*dons tinfoil hat, while he's at it*

Shhh! They're coming!

[ QUOTE ]
Does this need updated in I5? I've whacked a few Illusionist Lts, and no badge progress so far. No more than 3-4. Is this not enough to twitch the badge into being, yet?

[/ QUOTE ]

It'll take about 6-10 (if not more) to get it going.

Last call for error corrections, if you've found any, before posting a new thread for these.

Thanks again to everyone who contributed, especially Ian who corrected my misconceptions and allowed these lists to be more precise and therefore more useful.

[/ QUOTE ]

In the "by Zone" version, the three respec accolades are still incorrectly listed as Accomplishments (or whichever section it was) and all three plus the trial badge share the same requirement.

[ QUOTE ]
That's an impressive list. Thanks for all the time and effort to put one together.
Does anyone have any information on how to get the badges listed in the "Extra" section?

[/ QUOTE ]

As is described, they're unimplemented.

Task Force Commander was going to be for completing the original 6 TFs, as Positron described in his recent post. They scrapped it once they made more TFs and more TF badges.

Street Crime was supposedly for getting all of the villain defeat badges, but seeing as they add more and more each issue, it's rather pointless.

Super Patriot and Hero Corps, no clue on those.

"Villain" is a badge that starts off the villain defeat badges, but doesn't use the same style as them at all. (Two swords over a golden diamond.)

Passport has been assumed to be for the "Server Transfer Trial" in the works.

Bug Hunter is supposedly just a goof badge there to award those who submit useful bug reports.

Fire Base Zulu (Hey, Stalemate, you misspelled it!) Security Detail is apparently for "logging enough time in the Shadow Shard". Never got implemented.

Trolls Task Force Member is not for any kind of "actual" task force. It is instead referring to the team of officers that currently fight the trolls in the Hollows. Right past the Atlas gate, you can see SWAT members with the title "Trolls Task Force". Anyway, same basic badge as Security Detail. Something about logging time.

Corsair (and it's partner, Spectral, which Stalemate forgot) are listed as event badges (same syntax as the Halloween ones). So more than likely we're getting an invasion of pirate ghosts this year.

Excellent guide ... will be a new fav of mine and I will promote it as much as I can.

a minor correction for you:

Katie Hannon TF lvls go up to lvl 35.

You have listed 25-30, Did it last night and the entire team was auto exemplared to 35.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah. It was glitched for some time and the range was only 25-30. Just old information is all.


Anyway, you just have your badges mixed up. Transmogrified is for completing the Trial regardless of reward, the 3 accolades are tied to choosing the respec reward.

Ooh, I have another thing that's been bugging me for a little while now...

For one, the Statesman Star and its ilk are not actually for winning the Terra Volta trial, but instead directly connected to choosing the respec option upon its completion. That, and all three are accolades.

Even then, I'm pretty sure the requirements are off. If I'm not mistaken, as long as your security level is within a higher tier for the trial, even if you exemplar down and do a lower tier, you'll still be eligible for the next respec.
