OK, not here’s where it gets reeeeally complicated… see if you can keep up… OK, you ready? Here it is: It does not take ANY MORE EFFORT to make the villain mob “contaminated” than it does to make them “Nemesis” or “Arachnos” or any other villain type in the game! (Whew! That sure was a long sentence! Sorry about that!)

So to sum up:
New content will be added one way or the other.
Villains will be part of that new content.
Those villains could be contaminated.
Total EXTRA EFFORT required: Exactly ZERO

Do you get it now?

(Of course you get it. You got it before. But you clearly just refuse to acknowledge that your objection was answered. You will surely come up with some other bizarre way to twist my words around so you can keep arguing. Or, more likely, you will just delete my above words and pretend they don’t exist, like you did earlier today with my longer post.)

I'm not sure it matters whether or not the devs put Contaminated in another mission...Yes, Isolator is only available during Outbreak, because despite it being a kill # badge, its also a story badge, since Outbreak itself is a miniature story arc.

So, what's that mean? Perhaps it shouldn't have been a badge to start with, perhaps a "contaminated eyeball" or something should have been a "souvineer" instead.

Does this solve you not getting it? Nope...but perhaps its part of the justification...I dunno, but it seems plausible.

I disagree. There is a world of difference in missing an event that ran for a specified timeframe and a permanent badge that had the system been in place at the time would have been obtained.

For me personally, I do not mind not having isolator. But, it would be lying to say that I would love to have it. I would do whatever task they set before me to get it. At least, short of deleting and recreating my collector. Because losing the badges I have now is paramont cutting off my nose despite my face.

no difference at all. The time you chose to play the character in did not qualify for a particular badge. Whether it be a zone specific badge, or a kills badge, whatever it may be. The character does not have the badge, because during the time the character was created and played, there was no badge.
