I started a new character late last night, I saw a total of three other characters the entire time. At that point I thought "why not". Headed to the back of the contaminted zone and had at it. As for not finding the baddies for the 2 and 4 mish reqs, kind of boggles my mind. Those things spawn awfully fast. Maybe you have to hunt a bit more, but just keep going over the same patch of ground, they come back fast.
Now, if you engage one of a group of two and someone who is on the 100 kill kick gets your other one...I see the issue there. Of course, I think it would be nice if the folks doing the 100 kill thing went to the back and let the ones who just want the 2 and 4 to get the ones at the front. but thats just me.

Can't you team up in Outbreak? It would seem to me that a team of 8 could split up and get 100 pretty fast.

I reported the bug with the Alexander mission earlier (and bugged it in-game too) so I'm glad to see it's being dealt with.
As for people who were affected by this bug -- is there any way for them to get the badge they missed, or do they have to run around looking for someone who has that mission again? I had a couple teammates who were very psyched to get that badge the other night, we had been trying to arrange a time to do the mission for days, and then the bug robbed them of their badge. (I was the mission owner, so I got it but nobody else did.)
Also, Positron if you have a chance PLEASE answer some of Grazel's questions, he's doing a really great job of tracking issues with badges. Especially, if you could confirm whether Babbage (not Psychic Babbage) is actually spawning outside of the Synapse TF or not, that would be GREAT.
Well they'd have to redo the text on the badge, and the portal mission belong to a 'Crazed' faction and not 'Contaminated' faction. I noticed there are a ton of them spawning in the back side of the hot zone. Even before the badge I sometimes had problems finding the 2/4 contaminated if there were a bunch of other people doing the tutorial at the same time. They also spawn a lot more frequently than they used to.
I'm missing both the Babbage Badge (babbadge?) and the Bastion badge.
I'm posting this in hopes that the dev's are reading it and paying attention.
EDIT - Further... having actually READ the thread, I realize that Positron is paying attention.
I have killed babbage and completed the TF for Synapse.
Also, I was in the TF that completed the Bastion TF right to the end, I remember because I actually got the killing stroke (won't help with the mining, but it's bragging rights... )
Anyhoo... would like to get those badges if possible granted, if possible.

I, too, did the Numina task force shortly before Issue 2 went live, and I do not have the badge for it. Until now, I'd assumed that was because the TF had been changed. I was present for the entire task force, and (I believe) I got an award when Jurassik fell. I certainly was keeping space open in my enh. tray, as I wasn't sure he wasn't the end.

For the 'they spawn plenty fast'; they don't if there are 3 groups running around doing it... Several people made comments about the badges saying it took them 20 minutes just to get 2 before the 'badge groups' go to them...
It took me a good 10 minutes (a new player might get confused and wonder if he's in the right area since there simply weren't any 'bad guys')
Just throwing my two cents in. I also defeated Babbage and have not recieved the badge. I also did the Manticore TF and haven't recieved my badge back. I believe I had it once but I had an influx of TF badges right during that time we had server problems and got booted. When I logged back on I didn't have the manticore one. I know that a few people I ran the TF with have their badges because I Team with them on a regular basis.
Not complaining but I guess dropping my two cents in. Hopefully things get put right (which I'm positive they will) soonish.

Positron, I did the ENTIRE Alexander mission as an exemplar with a friend last night. I was exemplared 30 minutes before he got his badge. I did not receive the badge upon completion.
Here are a few things I noticed that were unusual:
1. The badge was awarded upon returning to the contact after mission complete. I exemplared one other mission with the same guy and we both our badges upon objective completion (he didn't have to return to his contact). Maybe there is some issue with a badge that is awarded by the contact.
I petitioned but have still got no real human response other than email that says "we are working on your issue", which is frustrating because I am becoming a real badge fiend and I have no more friends left in that level range. Even if I did, I am not remotely confident that I would receive the badge, at this point.
[/ QUOTE ]
This is the same thing that happened to me... Except I was with my friend throughout the whole thing relating to alexander. I petitioned, and got the message "reply within 2-3 days if not solved".... I replied... and got the same reply again within 2-3 days if not solved... Not sure what's up with this.. I guess I gotta keep replying every 3 days
Yeah, I'm missing Bastion TF I did pre issue 2. I got Synapse and Pysche, not real sure if I did Positron with my main as it back when it was bugged, but if they are still datamining, I'm sure they find that out.
I /bug'd it, but no response.
Still, I'm missing my Bastion badge, and it's little things like that that annoy me most.
Probably why I change my costume 5 times a day.

* There are numerous story arc/mission-related badges that I'm missing. I've received 4 so far and I've certainly completed a lot more than four of the requisite missions/arcs. I don't know exactly which ones are missing, but I'm certain there are several missing.

FYI: There are NO story arc badges. None. Never were. Never will be. You have Souvenirs for that.
Completing a Badge-giving mission post-Expansion 2: Mission badges are awarded upon Mission Complete to every member on the team.
Completing a Badge-giving mission pre-Expansion 2: We look at your character and see if they have done a mission that gives a badge. If the answer is yes, assign the badge upon log in.
If you did not get a badge, then your character never did the mission.
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.
We ARE working on a system that will allow you to go back and do content you missed, but for the meantime you can Exemplar to a character that has a badge-giving mission and help them complete it. You will both get the badge.
[/ QUOTE ]
This also means that it only counts if you YOUR character did YOUR mission. If you and a friend did this mission previously from your friends contact, only he will have the badge. Note that going forward badges will be granted to anyone on the team for the mission.
I petitioned the GM team on task force badges as I have yet to recieve any of my three and was informed today that it will be 2 or 3 days before all of the task for badges should be finished, due to the stability issues and the sheer bulk of petitions they are a bit pressed for time. So have patience, send a question petition and check your e-mail, you are more likely to have questions answered in e-mail and only in game help come from an in game GM.

Actually did the Numina TF today and recieved no Badge for it. Stayed with the group right until the end of the mission when it disbanded, recieved my enhancment but noone in the group got a badge (except the one for defeating Jurasik).
Should aslo note that I haven't gotten my Manticore TF badge that was completed a few weeks ago either. Other than that I have all my TF badges.

I am also missing the Manticore TF badge and the Numina TF badge.
I completed Manticore TF at least 10 times prior to Issue 2.
I completed Numina TF once after Issue 2 came out. I got the Jurrasic badge, but not the Numina TF badge. My friend NRA Girl is also missing these two badges. The heroes on my team that did the Numina TF, all 3 of them got the Jurrasic badge, but none got the Numina TF badge, we were all within the 35-38 Numina range except for me and someone else who reached lvl 39 before the ending.
Both of my main Heroes each did the first 5 Task Forces before issue 2.
Only some of the datamined retroactive rewards have shown up:
- One of my Heroes has recieved only the first TF badge (still missing badges for 2nd - 5th TF).
- My other Hero has recieved only the first four TF badges (still missing badge for 5th TF).
Not to get to far afield but... this caught my eye and I had a question about it...
[ QUOTE ]
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). This is what we use to go back and retroactively give badges. The fact that you did something for another player's character is not recorded anywhere.
[/ QUOTE ]
A while back, before even publish one or at least around then, alot of story arcs werent giving the souvenir's correctly due to a bug. My character for example has finished both the Bonefire(Skulls) and Clockwork Captive(clocks) story arcs but I never got the souvenir's for them. At the time you said you couldnt retro-actively reward players for story arcs finished because you didnt have the information available. Do you now have to tools todo so? And if you do will you?
If you dont have the tools todo so, will we be able to go back and redo these arcs, even though we have already done them(when you eventually get this feature working)?

Would it be possible to get confirmation as to whether or not the eight-player-requiring, no-maximum-level final mission from the chain of Hollows contacts is, in fact, the Hollows trial, and if so, is it supposed to be granting a souvenier but no badge?
I did the Hydra Trial and got no HO or badge. Oh yeah and 128k debt. I am level 41 now and can no longer do the mission. Though my guildmates can for a level or two.
I petitioned it and I got a response that "not getting the Terra Volta badge is a known issue". Great but MY problem is with the Hydra badge.
Hopefully I can re-do the trial and get the badge/HO before we out level it completely. Its not like the HO is useful to me now its more to keep as a souvenir.
Its just a little frustrating after 5 attempts finally killing the Hydra and not getting any reward with debt to boot!
Also will we get credit for the "standing next to Hydra head" badge in the future when its put in game?
Thanks.
I know i may be a littlle slow but please humor me. If i did the task force but was not the leader, does this mean i still (should/will) get the badge?
Its always nice to see the developers taking an interest. I wonder if positron ever gets to go out and play Positron, must get kind of boring standing in the one spot all day and all night.

Positron, yesterday I did the Portal mission to attack Oranbegans and received the Frontline badge. However, it was not my mission, it was Shazan on Freedom server's. Shazan did not get the badge, but I did (as Sodoshi).
So things are still a little screwy.
Shazan accused me of stealing her badge! :>
[/ QUOTE ]
So you can confirm that frontline is an outdoor mission? Can you also confirm that it is in the level 35-40 range? Before issue 2 there were no outdoor missions before the level 40-45 missions. Is it possible that that either,
A: This is a new mission, that was not in the game before issue 2?
B: The mission has been updated, and the update is somehow interefering with the datamine detecting that some of us have completed the old version of it?
[/ QUOTE ]
i did that mission with a friend last night. Instanced Outdoor mission. got it at lvl 36.
He got the badge at the mission complete. I however did not get the badge tilkl i went back to the contact and turned it in.
Get him to go back to his contact and he should recieve the badge.
Is the Cavern of Trancendence Trial badge not working? I completed it earlier today with my level 20 scrapper (hey, they invited me..I had nothing better to do) and far as I know noone on the team got a badge. The team level spread went from 15 to 20. Maybe that affected it in some way? Unfortunately I didn't think to /bug it at the time..*doh*.
This was I think around 3pm EST on the Victory Server (character name Dealus) if it helps any...

Shazan got the mission at level 40. It was in an outdoor zone that was accessible as an 'extra' option at the train station. (Not Portal Corp)
I duoed and joined her (Im level 37) and I got 12K xp and the Frontline badge. But Shazan, who was in my team, never left the zone, and was fighting alongside me (and doing more damage) did not get the badge or xp or credit. She bugged it, and kept the mission complete in her contact list, but has heard nothing.

Aha! So the badge is given to the person who owns the mission at turn-in! - I will let Shazan know.
I must say, this makes things disturbing and scary for people if they don't know this is happening!

Shazan turned in the mission to the contact... And didn't get the badge.
Bug, Positron? Shazan asks that if data mining can't get her the badge, then at least reset the mission so she can do it again. She's a little distraught.

[ QUOTE ][*]Mentoring badges. This set of three badges are the only ones I've not seen any details on and apparently nobody has gotten. Am I right in assuming they come from being an exemplar or mentor for a sidekick for a duration of time?

I noticed yesterday that I have now a progression bar to the next badge that reads something like "you must continue to mentor". I don't know if it increase with time, xp gained while mentoring or missions completed while mentoring, I'll try to look at it closely tonight

On a side note, do people still get badges appearing from datamining?
I'm still missing a bunch of mini-arc badges. I've seen some of the lists others have getten and see an aweful lot of missions I've already done and completed. Like the fortune teller one....who DIDN't do that one growing up. I personally did that one at least 12 times. No badge.
I only have 4. I should have alot more....I'm only 37 now because I spent so much time in missions (that and the 15 or so arc souviners I have).
Any reason why these aren't showing up?
