It seems like many of the Accomplishment badges like "Plague Carrier" from the Radio contact (Steal Outbreak mission set) are not offered by Ouroboros. Is the Wiki out of date, or is there in fact a bunch of badges that can never be gotten?
    That mission most certainly IS offered by Ouroboros (level range 1-15, contact The Radio, listed as "Steal the Outbreak Virus"), and I'm looking at it right now. The only badge I can think of offhand that is not available via Ouroboros red-side is Efficiency Expert.

    Exactly why do you say the wiki is "out of date"? Are you making sure you're looking at www.paragonwiki.com, and not the old no-longer-maintained wikia site?

    Upon not receiving any badge from the red-side respec (because my badge toon has done and claimed all respecs blue-side) I sent a petition as well, and the response I got was exactly opposite yours, Sadys. I was told that the devs do NOT intend for us to be able to earn all 6 respec badges from both sides.

    Go figure.

    I did read the announcement closely, and in fact side switching is NOT mentioned.

    Upon what do you base your conclusion? The fact that it mentions Praetoria is only open until level 14? I don't see one other piece of information in the announcement that even addresses side-switching, even obliquely.

    My bad for assuming side-switching via Tips would be enabled, but I don't think you have any more basis for categorically stating like you did that "the one thing not included is side switching". I even scanned the discussion thread for the announcement, and that question remains unanswered there.

    While you may be right about it, and I did make the mistake of assuming something, I think you should read the announcement a little closer yourself.
  4. Don't forget this upcoming weekend is a Reactivation Weekend, and everyone should have access to GR, so you'll be able to switch sides then if nothing else.

    Keep in mind that the Rikti you encounter during invasion events no longer have a level attached -- they use conning rules similar to the Giant Monster rules (i.e., they con differently for each individual specifically tailored to that toon).

    Welcome back to the game, T_A!

    Seconded!

    And if anything, that's vastly understating it.

When a wave held two Hercules, however, they did combine.
    Exactly this has been my experience years ago as well as recently as this week.
  10. And don't let it worry you -- the timed missions in question really aren't that difficult, and most ATs/builds should have plenty of time to complete them.
  11. In honor of the Crazy 88s:

    888,888,888

    (I didn't see anyone else guess that number; if I missed it, then +1 to that. )

    That's correct -- as I believe was mentioned above, those accolades are only earnable by "pure" alignments (i.e., Hero or Villain).

    I should clarify my comment -- the progress bars don't show for tourists, but as you mention, the badges obviously will pop. Why they're not on the list you cited, I can't say, sorry, I just know it's so from experience (and I believe you echo that in your comment).

    No, not at present.

    Yup, I can update everything on my badge toon except the duplicate-named badge still out there.

    The top 100 SGs list (measured by Prestige total and viewable by speaking with the SG Registrar).

    Sounds like we need to attend the same support group.

    New SG Badge?

    The only way to really prove either way, would be for me to do a petition or for me to do the Landu tf and see if the bar moves
    There's no question that that's the badge -- there are only 3 SG "Defeats" badges altogether (check the wiki if you're still not convinced), and your screenshot shows 2 + the third in progress.

    New SG Badge?

    Pretty sure that's just the "Rikti Plasma Turret" badge, awarded for 5 defeats of Lanaru the Mad in SG mode.

    Not a new SG badge by any means.
  20. Same here, un-fogged all blue-side zones and after a few red-side, [Reveal] simply resets the FoW to the original configuration.

    The OCD in me hopes very much for a solution to this bug sooner rather than later.

    Correct, they are villain-only (including progress bars).
  22. You will still need to get the side mission for arsons, since that's not available in Safeguards (obviously).

    All the "defeat" badges (defeating signature heroes, vault doors, etc.) except for a couple that have counterparts (such as Impounder/Pedestrian) will also need to be earned by doing Mayhems.

    Just curious...

    Thanks for all your hard work, Beef!
  25. Also, make sure you are searching for strings longer than 2 (or is it 3?) characters -- you will get an error message for doing that as well.
