First: Grats!
Second: Have a screenshot of the 2 badges?

Has anyone been working on these for the I7 badges (since I7 was released on the test server that is)?

Does this mean that villains can get isolator too, if thats the case, then heroes should get jail bird too.

[/ QUOTE ]
Now we begin to see the continued shortsightedness of the Devs' handling of Isolator.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wow, ye of little faith.

Isolator is marked as "Hero Only". Villains can kill the contaminated for 100 years, and never get the badge.

Only Heroes can get the badge.

[/ QUOTE ]

Posi,

First, I would like to thank you for this opportunity to get this badge. However, I feel like those of us who have been loyal to the game, having created our main badge hunters well before I-2, are being punished. Why should this badge be so outrageously difficult to get.

[/ QUOTE ]

.... as opposed to "No, you missed it, you cannot have it, period?"

[/ QUOTE ]

Like I said, not trying to be critical. I'm happy there will be a way to get this. Just my opinion.

[ QUOTE ]
But you know...

...I think the reason that the "alternate" way to get the badge is as annoying and difficult as it is is so that those who couldn't get it before I2 can finally get the badge, BUT there is still sufficent enough incentive that people will still try to get it the regular way (In the tutorial) instead of simply blowing it off, knowing they can get it later.

Otherwise, what would be the point of even leaving the badge in the tutorial?

[/ QUOTE ]

Very good point. I'm just hoping that I can die and rez in the Outbreak hospital.

In a PvP zone, badge hunters usually get 0 respect. They get told repeatedly that they are in a PvP zone, so this means they want to PvP. This isnt the case, yet we're now forced to be amongst those who think that way. Even if the spawn stays as it is, only spawning 1 every few hours, could we at LEAST get it in a PvE zone? That would at least take some of the sting out of this badge.

Thanks for all the hard work though. Don't want to seem critical.

[/ QUOTE ]

See? If you would have re-rolled after I-2 came out, none of you would have to go through with this. :P

I personally think re-rolling a lvl 30 toon for the badge was soooooo worth the effort! I got a brand new toon 9since I didn't delete the old one) and got the badge I so wanted. I won't have to put up with PvPers griefing the badge hunters.

So to all ye who mocked me for re-rolling :P~~~~~~~

[/ QUOTE ]

I cringe at the idea of re-rolling. I was in my 30s as well, and didn't have the heart. The price I have to pay now... lol

No one is forcing you to get the badge.

[/ QUOTE ]

I knew this was going to come up. Granted, no one is forcing us to get the badge, but it's never that simple. Some people enjoy PvP, some don't. Some enjoy the story & roleplaying, others don't. Some enjoy badge hunting, while others do not.

So, let me rephrase. Some of us REALLY want the badge without having to deal with the people who don't see the "fun" in it.

[/ QUOTE ]

But if your not willing to use the method given to get the badge, then you must not want the badge that bad.

[/ QUOTE ]

Never did I say that I was unwilling to get it by this method. In-fact, my last post stated that I'll be trying to get the badge. I just don't agree with the spawn placement.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, you posted that seconds before I posted mine. And I didn't mean mine to come off as snarky as it seems to be upon re-reading it.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's all good. I'm honestly thrilled that there will be a way for us who have been loyal and in-game before I2 to get the badge. I'm just not a huge fan of PvP, which is where the game seems to be going fast, but that's a discussion for a different thread.

IF we were to ever add a way to get Isolator post-Tutorial, it would most likely be incredibly hard to get. Annoyingly hard. Irritatingly hard. There-would-be-a-zillion-people-asking-to-make-it-easier hard.

But IF we were to add it, it would be available nonetheless.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you go and find the thread where Posi stated this, you'll note that several of you who REALLY want the badge specificially told Posi to "bring it on". It's been brought.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not arguing that I won't be trying to get it. Just posting my opinion on the matter. I've VERY happy that there will be a way to get it. I'm saying it doesn't make sense to me.

Personally, I love to hear it. I love to joke around, so I take it as that, a joke. And, in all honesty, I have major self-confidence issues. Hearing that someone is jealous of what I can do helps give me a little bit of an ego boost and inspires me to keep drawing/inking/coloring/etc.

Plenty in my family play with their partners. My wife and I play (once I got her hooked, we had to get a second account so I could play, even though she "hates video games" lol). My brother and his wife, my cousin and her husband, my Uncle and his wife. It's great. I always have people to team with.

You answered most of your questions yourself. The writing is on the wall, all their eggs in one basket as you put it. I5 was the beginning of the transition of turning CoH from a PvE based experience into one focused on the PvP aspects to be introduced with CoV.

A majority of future content, I would wager especially end game content, is meant to be player generated...ie:PvP.

[/ QUOTE ]

Erm. No. PvP will be an optional part of gameplay. Always.

The changes in I5 had very little to do with PvP and a lot to do with boring PvE. It's that simple. No conspiracy there - I think I've stated this several times.

As for the supposed "emphasis" on PvP - I think you'll see that it's just ONE part of City of Villains. It has PvE content levels 1 to 50.

We'll continue to add new PvE content (which I5 did exclusively, I might add) in the future.

[/ QUOTE ]
States, no offense man, but "boring" by who's definition? I would venture to say that the majority of us were having a great time before the "fun" of all the nerfing came.

How come there is no 150 collection badge?

Voltaic Shock.

I agree. I want a 150 badge!

Yes, I agree that he does a fine job. I love badges. These quality of life issues that have been mentioned numerous times on this thread are very important however.

[ QUOTE ]
Why can't we get an official badge listing on the forums? Why do we need to go to unofficial sources to find out what badges are available? I'm not suggesting giving away WHERE the badge is but that the badge exists and it's for this accomplishment. Since I do badge hunting during downtime (i.e. other SG members aren't online to team with) and occasionally our SG sponsors team badge hunting, an official listing would help. Especially since a lot of the unofficial sites are not kept up-to-date.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is a good idea - If this won't be done that is cool.

I am offering to take up the time to keep an updated list of badges - but I will need everyones help in doing so.

Voltaic Shock.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hey Volt, since we both team up to get said badges, you know you've got my help.

I'm jazzed about the idea in general, just having a base. However, after reading this, sign me up! I want my main (also the SG leader) monitoring the other members and preparing for his next run-in with evil!

I would help, but Pinnacle went down and doesnt seem to want to come back up. Sorry citizens!
