As an aside on Babbage, is he supposed to spawn in Boomtown in addition to for the TF, or is that just really old design information that is lingering, but no longer true?

Babbage should be appearing in Boomtown, but he's apparently off getting an oil change (which he's having difficulty actually completing because the Clockwork King keeps getting back out of jail and screaming for help because a few dozen heroes are hot on his mechanical heels!)

That is my question as well. All past information points that Babbage belongs here as well but when Update 2 was on the Training Center we had 8 man teams scouring Boomtown for plauques and badges and we never and i mean never saw Babbage at all. In the past it was reported people saw him there so Positron I ask you. Was Babbage removed from Boomtown?

I can't get the Zookeeper badge either. Presumeably it'd be for monkeys, as thats really the only Rikti enemy type that makes sense given the name of the badge. So unless it gives no progress and requires 300-500 monkeys or so...

In Crey's Folly i ran across something called Wild Rikti Monkeys. They might work they were too high level for me to try at the time.

You don't get a badge for killing babbage on the TF? well then its impossible as the GMs said he only spawns for the TF which i know isn't the fact he belongs in Boomtown as well.

his spawn must be broken unless someone has killed him recently. It would be nice to get a confirmation of a recent kill.

very good guide and as a tried and true teleporter from day 1 I can tell you its the best travel power.

The rest of the pool makes you friendly with groups, with a bit of practice and the above mentioned trips it turns your travel power into a form of art. Properly slotted you are the fastest thing out there and when you get to the mission you can port the slower movers to save time

Know your zones! Know the fastest way to train stations and zone boundaries. Sometimes the fastest way from IP to Atlas isn't by going to the tran its by making one or two more ports to the entrance and then to the yellow line.

Last night I was on the TV trial helping some folks and after my display of teleportation mastery one said "geez I might have to respec out of flight and take teleportation."

Teleportation is great with the right enhancements and the right kind of person mashing the keys behind it

Bosses have been coming though they are also called Observers and are the giant eyes...they are a huge pain in the ***. So far i haven't seen a villian related badge start to work on them

There was a bug preventing the Hydra and Black Shroud badges from triggering. Its fixed now.

There was a data error that caused three of the Accolades to not issue when the appropriate badges were earned. This too is now fixed.

now the question is have any of us accumulated the right badges for any accolades to be awarded.

aww that's really a shame that they changed it because of that <sigh>

Are we ever going to see the Galaxy City Badges fixed? I think we've found most of the others and some which were broken and now don't seem to be.

Otherwise most everything is found.

well according to a GM they say that Babbage will only spawn on a Synapse TF now. I don't know if that's the case on live but i know people have seen him before in Boomtown and he belongs there as its monster. With days of searching and him not turning up they turned off his spawn there.

I'm assuming this is an error otherwise you can't get the badge unless you get the TF done which in the case of the higher level people we are out of luck. Positron your thoughts on this?

Vision of Dispair is found!

470 yds east and just a bit North of Genadier Village dot down in a pit. Location -754.6, 0.5, -594.3

none of the broken tourism badges were fixed it seems. History ones are working with a few quirky ones such as one inside the forest of Perez Park.

Lets reproduce the Tourism list and give locations for the broken badges just in case they actually fix it.

Talos was turned on someone should see if Kraken now offers a badge

well when we make a FAQ on this when it goes live it would be nice to have both directions and locs so you can use the directions to atleast get close to the area and then use loc to pinpoint. I've found most of these on directions only save for a few where i had to loc it due to odd directions.

well he didn't show up overnight unless his wander range is the whole zone but i checked the entire grenadiar villiage and most of other high level area and found no giant robots walking around :P

the two times i've found Kraken he was well outside of everette lake just minding his own business

perhaps they should up the spawn rate...seeing Kraken roam around Everette lake keeps XP groups on their toes as it should be.

any advice for trying to find Babbage in Boomtown? been all over the Grenadiar Village and lots of Clocks but no monsters.

Okay Since we've hit a stall in Tourism and History badges I've been working on Villian ones.

There are two clockwork badges and Gearsmasher is from killing gears that spawn from bosses. I have that one yet I can't get Clock stopper started and i've fought Cogs, Ocillators, Sprokets, Dukes, Princes and Knights. Nothing gets this one started. Only Clockwork i haven't killed has been Babbage and Clockwork King. Any ideas? Unless this comes from that alternate Clockwork dimension mission later on <shrug> or perhaps this one is bugged.

Also hitting a barrier with Banished Patheon. I've started one dealing with killing the spirits (masks) yet Husks, Shamans, and Totems won't start the second badge that is offered from them. Unless this is another monster badge with whatever is in Dark Astoria...but then one for Kraken is missing. <shrugs>

i'm still not getting it and the letters from history and other things aren't lining up for a perfect match of two alphabets moved on each other

ah well then that would help in not searching though making a list of the plaques in case it is related...not to mention it is actually interesting info

I think Positron may have made a tiny error when he posted it.
It should be

Thats assuming it says what I think it does, and yes it does make sense.

care the elaborate? i assume that T is the key starter...trying to remember how this goes

well its not enigma code that was used by the german U boats during WW2...only thing i could think of due to similarity with 5th column...probably over thinking the problem way too much there.

Just need to find where the letters match another and go from there...or the letters could stand for city zones &lt;shrug&gt; without anything else there isn't much to really go on.

&lt;laughs&gt; well that helps things so positron what is the deal with the history badges...we've found plaques but don't get any badges unless its multiple ones for a single badge. I don't want a hand out but a clue to end some speculation would be nice.

well i've noticed that Magi also has a slew of plaques in city hall and Galaxy city...yesterday they were clickable but nothing happened...after the client patch text would appear but no badge information so i guess the question to ask the devs is it one for one or multiple locations or linked plaques for History Badges.
