Woohoo, Exalted! Thanks devs!
Oh, and are the Croatoa badges meant to be that big? Not that I'm complaining, the graphics are great, it's just a little odd.
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.
Any new accolades added?
Also..while I like the idea out of sheer humour factor the badges for 1 billion damage taken and a billion Hit points healed might be somewhat unattainable

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.

I like the new Accolade art.
One thing that's always bothered me about Accolades-- You get this privelage from completing epic tasks... But when you exemplar, you lose your accolades like they were normal powers. I think they should be always on, no matter when they were awarded.
First off thanks Cupa for putting this thread up! 
I have 2 concern/issues,
First is that the 1 billion marker for some badges (mainly healing) is effectively unattainable for me. Since I am a completest I really want them all.
I am a blaster and getting 2 million healing pts (doctor badge) with the medicine pool took a long time, (specially with all the defenders out there with their drive by heals) So I think that the 1 Billion number should be lowered some.
2nd concern is Isolator. Will I ever be able to get it? I only play this one toon, and I started him at launch. I really think that loyalty should be rewarded, and that characters who were around before the badge system was implemented should be aloud to obtain them. It may not seem like a big deal to most, but it is to me.
Thanks for listening!

Nothing in the world is the way it ought to be. - It's harsh, and cruel. - But that's why there's us. Champions. It doesn't matter where we come from, what we've done or suffered, or even if we make a difference. We live as though the world was what it should be, to show it what it can be.
The last badge on one of my in game lists is a giant question mark that says "Complete the XXX task force". My guess is that that's a place holder name for the *actual* name of the TF, and that its a bug.
In addition, the exploration badges in Croatoa arent granting their badges, but you can see the badge markers on the ground so you know they *should* be there. The kill badges are working, but it would appear that either we're all missing the last history plaque (found 4), or that it isnt granting it.
The new expanded list for the already existing badges are great though, and I'm looking forward to getting them on live.
So aside from bugs that will no doubt get worked out, these are great.
Cool new badges to go with the new accoldades.
WHAT? No new accolades?
Go back to the drawing boards.
3 issues.
1. the size of the new Croatoa badges. Holy crap dudes!. Standardize this. increase everything else so I can see all the cool art your people worked on or make them the same size as the older badges.
2. the order. On the achievements tab, everything outside of the issue 2 first set of badges it just added willy nilly.
3. more tabs. it's getting to the point were having an "Achievement" tab for the mentoring, influence, etc. badges should be separate from the vilain hunt badges. Perhaps a new tab called "Arrest Record" for the villain badges? Also, the one shot badges from things like the winter lords and Halloween could be put on a separate tab as well to further distinguish them.
otherwise, thanks for further destroying what little social life I had with these new badges whose progression bars taunt my OCD every waking second.
[edit to reflect other suggstions]
change the durn Monkey badge. 10K kills with limited AoE an the inability to herd them? not cool. drop to 1K. the high number was obviously due to you knowing we could mass herd the little buggers. you've taken serious steps to kill herding, so scale the requirement back
and i really want my Shadow Shard TFs datamined for their badges!
Level 50 is a journey, not a destination.
▲Scrapper Issues List - Going Rogue Edition▲
As to badges in Issue #5, I'll say that I love the idea of finally getting badges from the Shard TFs, and hope (nay, demand) that you datamine to reward those heroes who have already done the TFs.
I also like the idea of getting more badges for doing events multiple times, like the Hellion Arson event. While this may make those events draw so many heroes that it's mayhem for the first little while, I think it's a good way to encourage participation.
Now I'll move onto more general badge concerns.
My biggest complaint with the badges is their inconsistency. This takes two forms: inconsistent numbers for 'defeat' type badges, and inconsistent visual aides for other Achievement badges.
A) Some badges, like the badge for defeating Fake Nemesis robots (Unveiler) take a reasonable amount of time and effort to get. 100 Nemesis bosses is difficult, but attainable. Others take a completely unreasonable amount of time and effort, like Illusionist and Zookeeper, which are tedious to the point of making me want to shut off the game. Lots of people would say, hey, don't get the badges, but for a fair number of us, getting the badges is great fun, even if they're not part of an accolade. These badges reduce fun, which is counterproductive.
B) Some Achievement badges have progress bars. Some have placeholders with no bar, and some have nothing until you get the badge. This is inconsistent and serves no real purpose, to my mind. Why can I not know how far along on the Medic badge I am, but I can know how far along on the Adamant badge I am? Why can I not know what that ??? placeholder badge is but I can know right away that the next placeholder is for gaining influence? These are not game-breaking issues, of course, but they're a nonsensical part of earning badges that it seems could be easily fixed.
Thanks for your time!
Perhaps the datamining isn't complete, but when I logged in with Mr E-Man, he received to badges, but none for the completed Shadow Shard TFs or the (now removed) Calvin Scott TF.
Will we need to petition for these?

Please please please please please please please (need I say more?) make the shadow shard TF badges datamineable. I dont think everyone wants to redo them all again 
As for the other badges, yeah, as said above the Croatoa ones are HUGE! Please adjust that 
Also, said above. Any word on if we will ever be able ot get Isolator? I want that soo much on my main
This space is intentionally left blank.
Aye, I want credit for my Ruladak kill.
I love badges. Badges are a whole nother reason for me to do missions and such. Please continue to include badges for stuff.
I don't like that the new badges are huge when views in your player info. However, I think they are really quite lovely and would hate to have them all shrunk down. What I would prefer is if all the badges were visible on the same scale as the new badges on mouse-over. This would keep the list more space-friendly, uniform, and pleasing to the eye, and yet would let us all enjoy the time and effort the wonderful art team has put into them.
After some reflection, the newest epic badges need to have their values lowered. A billion points of damage, or whatever, is simply way to high. Having something be extremely rare is one thing, but this is just silly.
Along the same line, the numbers needed for the zoo-keeper and Illusionist badges should be lowered. At this point, they are just tedious. After I5, they are going to be painful.
PS Not exactly on topic here, but I was not a huge fan of the wings on the Halloween badges. I would vote for a slightly more uniform shape for similar badge types.
I understand the huge numbers needed on some badges (1 billion hitpoints of damage taken, etc) because the devs probably figure we won't get that for a year or two.
As for the Croatoa badges, had a blast getting them. Not so much with the liking of the sizes, though. I'd shrink them down to standard-badge size if that isn't a bug.
TF badges are a welcome addition, but please datamine them. Also, can we please have a Calvin Scott TF badge that's datamined? A lot of people did that TF and never got a souveneir or even notice that they did it. A badge would help them out.

I agree, and further.....
An explanation that says what Epic tasks are would be good, and what the accolade does should be posted in the forum (if it was, I have missed it).
As mentioned before, a list of accolades should be provided, and MOST importantly, you should be able to visit someone, like the City Rep, and when you talk to them, they should give you a list of accolades and what is required to gain them, IN GAME, so other players can find this info without having to read an outside source.

Everyone above me always seems to beat me to the punch:
1) The Croatoa badges are way too big for my liking. (And Pumpkin King and Giant Killer's graphics are bugged.)
2) The badge tabs (primarily Achievements) needs a total re-do. It's very cluttered and messy between Zone Event, Server Event, Personal Player, and Villain Defeats badges. For some reason, many of them are out of order. Two that stand out are I3's Volcanic and Visionary. They're at the beginning of the list instead of positioned inside the normal string of Villain Defeat badges.
3) I would also like the inconsistent "previews" to be addressed.
Never surrender! Never give up!
Help keep Paragon City alive with the unofficial City of Heroes Tabletop Role Playing Game!
1) Please datamine the TF badges.
2) The numbers on some of the epic badges are truly unattainable. I crunched the numbers on a different thread and it would take 4 times as much gameplay as it did to get to level 50 to attain some of those. For example, the empath badge would require attending around 230 Hamidon raids and spam healing throughout the mito phase (not that anymore Hamidon raids are happening with any frequency on any of the servers)
3) Size of the new badges needs to be fixed
Review the new badge texts and see if someone has to go to the forums to find out why they got them. Some are straight forward (you have taken x many points of damage) but I got the Deathless badge when I logged on, read it and still had no clue what it was for. I gather it means I have gone unconscious a lot (which doesn't seem to be true from where I'm sitting but okay) but the text didn't tell me that.

2 thing to say about badges
1) datamine and backdate especially for the shard TF's.
2) We Still want our TF souveniers They worked in I3 (in the main). Please please pretty please I want to get the saga's from the Shard TFs etc.

Related note- how about a "badge page?" A page where you can look at all the badges together. You can click on the badge, it enlarges, and you can read more info- inlcuding what you did to achieve it. You could make it another listing like ID is, you go to a screen similar to the enhancement screen and can really check out the badges. Allow others to do the same.
The current system with the little window and inability to see your own badges is weak and feels rushed. Take some more time and devise a better way. You guys put effort into these things for art, design, achievement, placement, etc and all this work is getting glossed over with a some rapid clicks.
Come Dev team- show us your work!

WHAT ARE THE NEW ACCOLADE BADGES????????
With new badges comes a greater resposibility. Rework the Badge Tab in the UI when looking at a players Profile, it be Very ugly atm. The new Badges are very nice looking, and I am wondering if there are plans to redo some of the older badges to this newer style.
Also, if not done, where is my Defeat 100 Kronos Titans Badge?

Cuppa, and the rest of the DEV's...I realize that you may not want to give us a list of badges so that we have to discover them on our own. However, can you put a section on the forums (like in the For Fun section) that is dedicated solely to badges and info. This would then give us a standard place to discuss them, spots for hunting them, strategies, etc...Because honestly right now, our only option is to sort through a crapload of posts, look over pieces of penciled paper, or rely on out-dated websites. Please?
Oh, and as for Shadow Shard TF's..Love the new badges, however, I miss the fact you can get the souvenirs. I always liked their little stories that went with them.
Basically everything else I wanted to say was already posted like badge size, progress bars, etc...but keep the 1billion ones...That looks fun

In addition to new badges associated with Croatoa, many new Achievement badges have been added for those who have exceeded the existing ones.
