Blue Ink Men getting the Red Serpent gladiator is working.

Siren's has been acting funny since the last patch.

I made this thread to help track badge bugs.

According to Positron, Grand Lunasta was bugged last week. Hopefully it'll be fixed in an upcoming patch.

I can confirm this since I know my friend won close to 150 matches at this point with no badge.

Yeah, you get the Lunasta badge for winning your first gladiator battle. That unlocks the Nullifier.

o.o longbow gladiators are for glad arena victories.... hint hint

Nullifier is for Lunasta.

But Grand Lunasta actually unlocks Herc Titan if my redname source can be believed, and I think it can be.

I should have confirmation about Arbiter Leary by the end of the night.

As for other contacts, I find most of them to be relatively easy to obtain. The Scrapyarder kill badge can be earned just by doing the first Scrap arc. Anyone at any level can get Lorekeeper. The Ghost of Scrapyard is around countless times a day (though I wish he'd stop running into drones...). I easily had 50 badges to unlock Sonata in Beta and I wasn't even trying. The only ones I see as a direct problem are Veluta's ghost badge requirement and the Bling badge. If they changed Veluta to something like the Mongoose badge and Buzzsaw to something like Stoic it'll be fine.

I dont know if this is one or not.

Arbiter Leary at 1741.7 157.7 3157.1 in Nerva

He talks to me but I was never introduced to him

He told me that he only works with villains that prove their greatness and told me to speak with the two respec trial contacts to do just that.

So I think he's unlocked by earning a respec.

Just to let everyone know:

If you outlevel these contacts, you are NOT hosed. They work just like CoH contacts. You can go back to them in person and get their arcs at any level, though the enemies will be the level of the contact. I just did Veluta at level 27.

CoV only.

Most arachnos/longbow are except for Warden, Nullifier, Guardian Mu, and Fortunata Seer.

Best bet is a team of 8 doing PvP zone missions.

Smasher Elite and Shivan Destroyer are bugged according to Recluse.

The Guardian Mu is working as intended, though, we just haven't found out how to get him yet.

My Blaster High Beam has the Behemoth Overlord. It popped when I first logged on after I6 release so I have not been able to nail down how I got it. It could be tied to the Demon Slayer Badge (Baphomet) in Angus McQueens mission.

Oof, just realized that I've had that gladiator since Issue 6 came out. Vidiotmaps threw me off on that one. Thanks for the info. That leaves:

Smasher Elite
Shivan Destroyer
Longbow Warden 1
Mu Guardian

Cobra!!! And last I checked there are no zones in CoH that have snakes in them, so unless this badge is obtainable in another manor, that redname is wrong. Like I said, I'd hold off on that list Plasma


[/ QUOTE ]

I didn't ask the redname about Cobra because, at the time, we thought you could unlock it as a hero in the arena.

Well, with Research Assistant and the Warcry being bugged, there's always the possibility that some of these gladiators just aren't working right.

I've got a list from a redname in a PM about which gladiators aren't available for Heroes and only unlocked through CoV means. These include:

Arachnobot
Longbow Rifleman
Arachnoids
Crab Spider Longfang
Tarantula
Night Widow
Gremlin
Red Hand
Wolf Spider Tac-Ops
Mook Capo
Coralax Blue Hybrid
Tellus Legacy of Earth
Hellfrost
Juicer Sniper
Hordeling Lasher
Kaolin Legacy of Earth
Ember Legacy of Flame
Lucent Legacy of Light
Mook
Night Haunt
Slag Pile
Wailer
Wailer Queen
Wolf Spider Enforcer

The Following Gladiator is currently not active in the game as far as the redname knew:
Sorceror

That leaves the following possible Gladiators to rule out in CoH:
Smasher Elite
Shivan Destroyer
Behemoth Overlord
Longbow Warden 1
Mu Guardian (Which the redname said specifically is for defeating Mu)

I'll send Recluse another PM making sure these gladiators are working as intended and are not suffering from the same bugs as the Assistant and the Warcry.

Any luck yet on Smasher Elite, too?

There is no Shivan gladiator in CoH. There is a Shivan kill badge for 100 of them, though.

The ghosts in Bloody Bay are there during the day.

There is currently no badges tied to killing them, though. The only badges for them are in CoV where you have to drag them over Arachnos ghost traps for them to count.

Yeah, it probably won't be possible until they fix the bug where your rep is deleted when you zone out of PvP zones or log off.

You can't get the patrol mission badge the correct way until issue 7 comes out with Recluse's Victory.

However, I have heard of people getting it for 400 rep points in a PvP zone.

Isn't it a mission with Arachnos fighting a few slag piles in a warehouse?

Is it just me or is Kisaragi replying to any redname post with a soapbox rant?

Yes, it's pretty annoying.

Why are villains always powerful? Because if Superman spent all day picking on random street thugs with baseball bats, no one would give him the time of day. Comic books are littered with villain groups that are paramilitary that can take and dish out damage, such as Hydra or AIM.

Has anyone confirmed the Guaradian Mu gladiator yet? It's the only one left on my list that's actually in CoH. My source says it's from killing Mu.

I killed maybe 50 or so today and no badge yet.

If I had to pick a team of devs to spend a Quarterfield with it'd include:

CuppaJo for putting up with Flaming1 and me for the past year and a half.

Weaver-One for being one of the few rednames I feel really likes to post on these forums as both a dev and a fan of the game.

Lord Recluse for continuing to reply to my PMs about bugs and proving that I did in fact find a bug and haven't gone insane (much).

War Witch because I need to balance out the team to prevent a Sausage Party.

As reported in another thread, Serpent Red Ink Man is unlocked in CoH and CoV for killing Blue Ink Men.

Blue Ink Men can be found in Siren's Call.

Which bots are the Warcry robots and where is the best place to hunt them? Do all Council robots count towards the Warcry badge and is there a verified total for that badge yet?

[/ QUOTE ]

Has anybody gotten this in game yet?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm talking to Recluse about it. Research Assitant and Warcry might be bugged at the moment.

According to what I know, Research Assistant should be earned along with an Independence Port exploration badge.

Heroes can get Fortunata Seer.

Arachnobot is CoV only as it's tied to a badge mission.
