Regardless, can you say "yes" or "no" on whether or not Babbage will be returned to spawning in Boomtown?
And if he's not- why not?

Pos,
Just killed Babbage in mission with several other high 40's and 50's, no exemplars. None of us received any badge.
As a side note, please do not add any more badges that you get by killing a single-spawning outdoor creature (Kraken, Adamaster). It screams "I HATE EVERQUEST" in burning lights in the sky. You want kill stealing, mad players all hunting in one area trying to crush the spirits of each over a single creature? Keep CoH unique and fresh....please don't use this horrible, terrible design method

Babbage or Psychic Babbage (two different beasts)?
As for the kill stealing... several groups can get "badge credit" off one monster... just like several heroes can get defeat credit off one villain.

I was killing the kraken and a blaster ks'd me. I got the first blow, and dealt a sizable chunk of damage. He got the badge, I didnt. We were both about 15 levels over the monster (I'm 27, he was 29ish). Perhaps the badge is only awarded to multiple groups if they get exp from the kill, and awarded to the person who deals the majority if no exp is gained?

i ks'd a guy killign adamastor. we both got the badge. dunno what happened there. i got no XP for the kill either.
Sorry, my mistake. I thought that "Plague Stopper" was the badge for Patient Zero.

Pos, whichever Babbage is needed to fill the badge. I've spent a good deal of time looking for him in Boom, and will not KS a TF's spawn.
Is he still spawning in Boom? If not, that's cool - I just want to know so I don't spend any more time hunting for him...
I did beat him when I did the TF, but didn't get badge credit for him (saw your post where that will take a long while to update, if at all).

Wait... What Psychic Babbage?? There is a Psychic Clockwork King, one of the first Portal Corp missions but I've done everyone I could get my hands on since and never found a mission with Babbage in it after 40.

I am also missing two badges that I completed missions for in the last week...
1) Numina Task Force Badge
Just as mentioned before by someone else...

[ QUOTE ]
* Prior to Update 2, I completed the Numina Task Force. I have been assigned all of the other Task Force Badges (having completed all of them) but still lack Numina's.
[/ QUOTE ]
Were you part of the team when Jurrasik was defeated? Did you recieve a reward when Jurrasik was defeated?
[/ QUOTE ]
Me and 7 others formed a Numina Taskforce team and did it a few days ago, we all got our the Jurrasik Badge but did not get the Numina TF badges on completion of the Task Force. We submitted this as a bug report at the time.
[/ QUOTE ]
Yeh, same thing happened to us got the Jurrasik Badge but still no Numina Badge.

Why? Because we keep no record of that on your character. We only track what missions your character did for your OWN contacts (so you don't get asked to do the same mission twice by your contacts).
[/ QUOTE ]
Ok positron. This doesn't work well. You know the whole 5th-column-robots-become-sentient story arc? Did it three times from three different contacts (no souvenir).

I also got the rogue robot missions several times repeated.
Any word on the Zookeeper badge? I've killed thousands of Monkeys and recieved and no bar. How about just a little wink to let us know its functioning correctly?
Also, any plans on putting SkySkiffs into Terra Volta Zone?
I don't think the rogue robots is *supposed* to give you a badge. And I know it doesn't give a souvenir (it's not a story arc, it's a multi-part mission)

Please let us know if there IS or IS not a babbage in boomtown. We went badge hunting and got kraken and adamastor easily, but we spent a long time combing boomtown and no sign of him. Just a yes or no so I can put it on the backburner. I don't even want an explanation as to why not.
It's in the 45-50 set of missions. You're asked to put a sensor on the biggest clockwork you can find. When I read that description I thought "They wouldn't, would they?" They did.

I was leaving a mission in Perez on one of my alts (10ish tanker at the time) and saw a bunch of people gearing up to take down Kraken. They were broadcasting to the zone for everyone to help, so since I was right there I helped out when they said to attack and stuff. I landed a few hits, got some xp off the kill, but no badge. Managed to not get killed either! Anyway, is there a minimum amount of damage (10% or so maybe) that a given team has to do to recieve badge credit for a kill?

Seems to be that your team (or you individually, if you are solo) has to land about 25% of the enemy's total HP in damage for it to count. I have no idea how healing enemies, like Vampyri Commandants, affect this.

Same, I helped some lower people kill off Kraken. I did maybe one third of the damage and got no badge, they did.

I killed krakeran the other day, he was at 80% of his current HP, im 50 and did over 1k damage to him and killed him, no badge. There has to be a bug with this. How can I not get credit for doing 70-80% of the damage?
If it helps, that mob was under attack by lowbies for about atleast 10 mins and they kept on dying ETC trying to take him down, so OVERALL damage wise perhaps they did more damage than me (he kept on regening back though) but when I attacked him, he was at 80% of his current health and some lvl 30s had come to kill him too.
Anyways, point is, either the badge system is not working or there is something more to your kill credit system, maybe OVERALL damage counts and that group had done way, way more damage than me over time that what I did was not part of the 25% minimum damage to get the kill credit?

Hmm, so does this imply that the retroactive TF-badge datamining is only looking for acquisition of the end-of-TF award? If so that would explain why I didn't get the Bastion badge I guess... since my tray filled up in the last fight and I didn't get the final SO drop (if I remember correctly).
For the Frontline mission badge, I found this:
Frontline - Stop Cot versus Orenbegans war. Levels 35-39
Prior to I2's release, I did a mission (or perhaps it was a 3-parter?) that dealt with CoT and another dimension version of Orenbegans. I've read that the mission that awards the badge is an outdoor mission.
If it is, in fact, the same mission that has been changed due to the addition of the outdoor missions to pre-40 characters, should I have gotten a retroactive badge for doing it? (I did not) Or could the datamining for this one have been an oversight, now that it is outdoor, and no one got the badge? Or is it simply that this is an all new mission the one I did was a different mission entirely?
[ QUOTE ]
We investigated several characters who claimed to have done badge-missions yet didn't recieve the badges retroactively. Upon examination, all of them had never done said badge-missions, usually because they outlevelled their contact before that mission was issued.
[/ QUOTE ]
Huh? I had a badge that wasn't given to one of my characters (completed before issue 2 went live, didn't go back to contact until after it was live), I petitioned it and was given the badge. (though...I got a mail back saying something about "waiting for TF datamining" for some reason). This was for the clocks/skulls mission.

If (pre-Expansion 2) the mission was from a different Hero's contact, you will not get the badge, even if you helped them.
Why? Because we keep no record of that on your character. We only track what missions your character did for your OWN contacts (so you don't get asked to do the same mission twice by your contacts).
[/ QUOTE ]
Positron,
At the level 30-34 contacts, my character recieved duplicate missions *many times*. And by many I mean I must've done the Oberst von Burek (might be mispelled) mission 4 times, for from 2 different contacts. Almost all my other non-StoryArc missions at that level duplicated as well, and I would frequently get the mission repeated by a different contact, though most were duplicated by the same contact.
At one point I had the same mission in all three of my mision slots, so I could show my friends to prove that I wasn't smoking crack.
This obviously isn't related to the badges, per se, but your comment about being sure you don't duplicate missions made me think of it. Something is broken somewhere, either with my character, or the mission completes that write to the DB for this series, or something.
Do you keep track of every mission a person completes for their contacts, or for every Unique mission they complete?
People say street-hunting is monotonous, but nothing is as boring as doing the same exact Devouring Earth mission for the 3rd time.

Edit: This occurred Pre-Expansion2
I'm another one that hasn't seen the TF badges show up. I've got two tankers on Protector (yes, I'm masochistic 
: Black Diamond (L24) and Pyroxene (L26). BD completed, prior to Update2, both the L15 & L20 TFs. Pyroxene also completed one or the other (don't recall which, atm), plus the L25 TF. Between the two of them, no credit for any TFs.
In all cases, the tanker was the TF leader (we run them with our SG and an occasional friend), and the TF reward was received.
I'm missing my Positron TF badge and my 11th mission badge, Frontline. Are you still datamining for these or am I going to have to do them over? Assuming that Frontline is the mission where the Circle of Thorns finds a dimension where Oranbaga never fell, tries to get them to help the circle in this world, but these oranbagans turn out to be good guys, I've done it. 3 part mission if I remember, and I remember it because I had trouble with the first mission with finding a glowie and had to reset the mission before I found it. I've done all the missions I could from level 1 on, don't think I've outleveled a single contact before running their mission pool dry. Maybe one of the first few contacts, but definately not since level 10.
