Unknown but I would presume so. At the very least I'm expecting map, plaque and defeat badges.

Hmmm I wonder if this would prevent say an L50 Villain that is still Rogue status from accessing Blueside arcs in Ouro? I'd imagine that changing completely to a hero would have to be done for that.

But as long as the Rogue can access Blueside and do things like the TF's.......

The market limitation doesn't matter much to me, and I don't expect to become a Rogue and build a blueside base......but I would like to be able to get the explore badges in SG mode and thus be able to have teleporters in my base that can take me to the blue zones.

I'd imagine that the only zone they could enter would be Warburg as that is the free fire zone where factions mean nothing.

Otherwise I would suspect that for any PvP zone, if your character's "alignment" was neutral thus having access to both sides, it would default you to the appropriate side depending on your archetype.

I have to agree with this. There are more then enough badges for both sides already, not counting Vet and Dayjobs. Praetorian badges I can understand as that is a whole new realm opening up for us, but adding new Blue and Redside ones just isn't needed.

I'm in with my brute.

I think I recall somewhere that Accolade badges that grant powers will "morph" into their heroic named versions if a villain becomes a hero and vice versa. As to all the other badges, I have no idea if there is any badge loss but I hope not.

Better yet: Here's a question about the Master Badges:

1. Master ITF: a villain has it, can they get a duplicate one if they win as a hero?

2. Master Khan/Master Barracuda: can a hero turn evil and get the Master Barracuda and still retain their Master Badge from the blueside version?

3. Master RSF/Master STF: can a character have both?

You young whippersnappers......I remember the day when it took 10,000 craftings while walking uphill both ways in snow with no shoes!

Seriously though, craft a bun of cheap IO's or IO's for your alts.

Being symbiotically joined to a kin is just unworkable at times. All three of my stone armor toons have about 90% run boost from IO at least 70% recharge from IO and recovery bonus from sets combined with Perf shifter +End proc in stamina and the Unique Heal IO's in Fitness/Health.

The big snag with the Clone Saga was they did a pretty good job of establishing Ben as the real Peter. What they should have done was set it so that Ben is the clone, and Peter retires to be a father.

Best thing I like about Blackest Night is that per Johns, you only need teh Blackest Night mini and GL and GLC books to get the whole story. The other mini's are not critical.

Question is: Which is worse: The Retcon or the Junk Story that necesitated the retcon?

Case in point: THE CROSSING. Still considered by some as the story that pretty much killed Iron Man as a character. Combined with at the time that many of the Avengers were also screwed up badly, then here comes X_men:ONSLAUGHT that necesitates the sacrifice of non mutant heroes to stop him, then comes Franklin Richards and his Cosmic Deus Ex Machina power to warp reality to send them all to a pocket universe after he recreates them as he feels they should be, hence the big old red REBOOT button was pressed. However characters like Iron Man were so mangled at this point that only a reboot was going to restore him.

Spiderman: CLONE SAGA. Still considered by many as the worst story ever, though Mephisto wiping out the marriage is now probably tied with this. The Clone Saga was overextended by edicts from editorial and the marketing folk and it was never the plan at first to retcon Norman Osborn back to life to correct it. That was the choice they made to end the clone junk. Ironically another choice would have involved Mephisto.

Original Human Torch: stated to be rebuilt/reprogrammed as the Vision, despite that the Mad Thinker had used a plan to capture Toro by having a funeral staged for the Torch and he was buried while at the same time another Torch was taken by Ultron to become the Vision. Later revealed that this discrepancy is due to Immortus splitting the Torch so that there were two Torches, one of which would become the Vision. Torch is finally revived and is around for awhile until Byrne depowers him in the Namor series. Then as part of the New Invaders he absorbs heat energy and thus has to fly up into the sky where upon he explodes and is in pieces. Then in Captain America, Capucky and Namor team up to retrieve their fallen friend before he is weaponized and is later given a military funeral and interred at Arlington. Now he has been dug up by the Mad Thinker, thoroughly analyzed, restored and reactivated, and now the resurrected Toro must stop him. Definitely a tangled mess of a history with this character due to Marvel not wanting him and Johny Storm around back in the day, but now I hear he's coming back to stay once his current mini series is done.

Actually I too liked Pad's run with Genis as CM. But then came all the garbage from Joe Q. Little promotion for the book and then that stupid "U-Decide" contest where fans got to vote from three choices to be CM......then the cancellation/restart, then the final cancellation. Then what was done in Thunderbolts was atrocious. Truly a character with a lot of promise and he was just MANGLED by editorial decree.

Phyla to me is little more then a joke. Now she is the avatar of death and the Quantum Bands are back with the recently restored Wendell Vaughan as Quasar, so he's back as an energy being and Protector of the Universe again. (amazing, chewed and eaten by Annihilus yet he can come back and Mar-Vell can't.....)

Monica Rambeau: to me this was AT FIRST, a weak attempt by Marvel to retain the Captain Marvel trademark. However she grew as a character and was a good Avenger.

Noh-Varr: what little I've seen I do not like. Kill him off.

Carol Danvers: well I hear ish 50 is her last issue, she's facing off against Mystique and I think ish 49's cover is her vs, "Mar-Vell" though I bet it's Mystique in disguise. Maybe SHE will become Captain Marvel? Her powers came from a Kree device that Mar-Vell saved her from, and were based on Marv's powers so perhaps she is the worthiest to take the name?

Only other candidate would be Rick Jones but he's been mangled by the idiotic Red Hulk/War of the Hulks/Fall of the Hulks junk into being the current Abomination.

Hm, I've checked and don't see any changes to Mass Hyp. It seems (note: SEEMS) to be working normally on my mind dom, but I haven't run any extensive tests.

Yes, Bucky's return is a retcon of a retcon. Also for another character with a tangled history, the original Human Torch.

As for death being insurmountable....well Marvel still doesn't restore Captain Mar-Vell, they just keep making lame replacements including a skrull version.

Gratz on the win. I'm available those nights after 5pm pacific/8pm eastern

You need one of the history badges to unlock the contact that offers the mish. Can't remember off hand which one.
