I see.

I'll correct that in the upcoming update. Thanks.

How is the "zone" version working for everyone?

I don't know if its already been suggested, but it might be a good idea to list achievements so that all the debt badges are together in ascending order, all the healing badges, etc.

[/ QUOTE ]


I won't be doing this, as plenty of lists which do just that are already available (vidiotmaps has an excellent one with badge pictures too.). Copy 'n paste is all it takes.

Or if you'd like, I'm considering just letting people acces the original Word 2002/XP file instead if they wabt to edit it to suit their need/desire.

Would that be useful to others as well?

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.

[/ QUOTE ]

You're correct when you say that as long as the minimum level requirement is met that you can participate in a TV Trial and have it count against the 3 total available with the badges received being attributed as Stalwart Medallion, Stateman Star, and then Freedom Cross regardless of the order the trials are actually taken. I think I even did this with my main character, doing the 2nd Trial but getting the 1st badge.

I'll fix that in the next update and place them in the correct section as being accolades.

Choosing respecification earns the Transmogrified badge, does it not? I have teamed with people who chose the SO instead who received the other badges regardless upon tial completion. But my memory is vague.

Can anyone confirm this one way or another please?

Preliminary zone version uploaded. Get it here.

I have only done the Exploration badges for now and am waiting for your feedback to fins out of it is worth doing the same for History plaques.


At any time, visitors to our SG website (link in my sig) can find that same link available on our homepage under the Intelligence section on the right.

I just respec'd TP into my main's build instead of SS/SJ (for concept) and would love to be able to use this tool instaed of relying on the rinkey-dink bind I have now.

Quick update:

-Added Multidimensional badge under exploration. No idea how come it was missing.
-Corrected order of 3 new Croatoa Exploration badges.
-Renamed file as badge_a.pdf as the alphabetical version.
-Halfway done for the zone version: badge_z.pdf coming soon.


Thanks to Bishop Creed, whoever you are, for making me scrutinize my own list of exploration badges on my main toon last night in Firebase Zulu, realizing I was missing one and fixing the list to include the missing Hydra Dimension one.

It was the Ensorcelled badge from that tree in Croatoa, btw, which I lost after acquiring it in one of the many disconnects I suffered in that zone last night.

This and other great guides brought to you by the fine folks of Praesidium!

Praesidium - Because this game would be a steaming pile of dung without us and you know it.

Pie for you, bro.

Now, go register at the new Praesidium website.

Personally I like the history badges listed how you have them. It's nice to see which ones you need for the badge.

You spelled Medicine wrong in the "Medecine Man" badge.

[/ QUOTE ]


That's why I'll be sure to offer both versions once I finish the "zone" version. I knew I wasn't alone who liked a listing more akin to a "to do" list.

I'll correct the typo this evening.

Still no go.

I had already installed this one, but did it again with reboots before and after.

[ QUOTE ]
Heh, minor thing. You've got "Earned the Statesman Star" listed 2x in your TF & Trials section.

[/ QUOTE ]


Almost as bad as having switched around the locations for Ensorcelled, Grim Wanderer and Spiritual (all in Croatoa), which is also fixed now.

Thanks.

I've also reduced the number of Rikti monkeys to 1,000 for Zookeeper.

[ QUOTE ]
Heres another question, for history badges, do you have to do them in any order?

[/ QUOTE ]


No, you can do them in any order, or sweep an entire zone before moving on to the next.


Excellent guide.

[ QUOTE ]
...Glad you're keeping the alphabetical listing while adding the zone one as well.

[/ QUOTE ]


Well, my wife prefers the alphabetical listing too, and the couch is too lumpy to comfortably sleep on, so...



[ QUOTE ]
...Great job and many stars to you!

[/ QUOTE ]

I guess this thread will have to get it, since the user rankings have been removed.


Thanks for the kind comments.

Latest updates:

-Corrections made (typos)
-Additional checkboxes added for accolade requirements
-Specified that this version is alphabetical in the title


Still working on the Zone version.

[ QUOTE ]
I prefer lists that order badges the same way the game does, and I find alphabetical order much less helpful. But that's just me.

[/ QUOTE ]


Thanks for the feedback Silver_Gale.

I'm planning on releasing a second version which will sort Exploration badges and History plaques by city zone along with this alphabetical version which was originally intended only for my wife and I.

Since we would use Vidiotmaps first and then check off the badges, alphabetical was more useful for us, but there is demand for sorting by city zones so I'll get that version out soon also.

As a matter of fact, I hope to have it done by the end of the week.

I know this isn't much to report but I'm just that kind of person....You spelled defeat wrong in the description of the Giant Killer badge.

I think Seppuku is in order... my bad.

I mean, I will fix it.

Well, the VB runtime that is included with windows varries. Wanted to make sure you weren't trying to run it on windows 95

[/ QUOTE ]


LOL!

OK, file is COMCTX32.OCX.

Error message:

"Component `COMCTX32.OCX`or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid." (sic)

XP Pro, latest SP and patches all applied.

Why do you ask?

I had a problem when launching the application itself.

Something about an OCX file missing, I believe, that installing the VB runtimes 5 and 6 did not fix.

I'll post the exact filename later today.


The concept looks mighty impressive.

Clockstopper: Babbage in Skyway counts, or did the last time I did Synapse. (Psychic Babbage does not, of course.)

Checkboxes: Your sheet's set up with 3 handy rows of checkboxes, is there any chance you could do the same for checkboxes in the Requiements section? My horde of alts thanks you in advance.

[/ QUOTE ]


That's a great idea.

Will try to get that in there by the end of the week and also work on the "geographical location" version for Exploration badges and History plaques to be listed by city zones.

Server: Protector and Victory
Supergroup Name: Phantoms of War (Ghosts of War, Wraiths of War, PoW Elite)
Recruiting: Yes, personal invitations or referrals preferred
Contact: any of the officers listed on our website
Website: http://pow.rocks.it


Please visit us for guigelines and registration process.

We currently have filled up our main SG on Victory to capacity, so our secondary SG, Ghosts of War, will be the one used to receive recruits. Since we use a global chat channel, interSG communications and finding people to team with is never a problem.

Thanks.

So it's settled - another version where the Exploration badges (and maybe even the history plaques) will be listed by zone.

In the Vazhilok section, you mention "...He's assembled legions of zombies, as well as some human followers – plus the eidolons, dying humans who agreed to let him modify them...."

I believe the eidolons are actually "composed" of superhero parts, but I can't give you the exact source for that.

Great reading.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks. But it's the Abominations who are made of hero parts...a stronger version of basic Cadaver, if you will. The Eidolons actually LET the good doctor transform them...

I stand corrected.

The link works fine for me here (work) and from home.

I'm guessing there may be restrictions set where you are located to block off certain sites. GuildPortal, being a gaming community, stands a good chance of being blocked off.

I think I may try to find another hosting service for this file to prevent this issue. When I have a good working list(s) I'll review my options for that.

Great Guide. Just a suggestion for you. Most people when they do badges go zone by zone. It would help if your badges guide did a zone by zone listing, instead of all of them being clumped up in a larger more chaotic alphabetical listing. Reason I mention this is due to the fact that a lot of players (such as myself) don't know the exact name of a badge. Just a suggestion though, and still a good guide.

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm currently planning to regroup the Exploration badges into city zone subsections (which I assume you are referring to) but it's taking a while. You are confirming Ian's original comment about this. Hopefully I'll have some time to get that worked out by the weekend.

I'm not convinced about doing the same thing for the history plaques though... Maybe I should just make both versions - alphabetical and by zone - and let the gamer pick a favorite.
