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.

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.

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

I am looking start a CoH page, but MapMaster from Vidiotmaps does a wonderful job of keeping an updated list of badges on their site.
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.
Sorting of badges - Several ways you can do that.
The tiers of zones for the exploration badges is a good one for our personal badge screen, and changing the tint of them would be nice too, for the info screens.
On my checklist that I created (yes, I'm that much of a geek), I divided the badges up thusly:
Accomplishments:
Task forces
Trials
Missions
Acheivements:
Collector
(Tourist, Collector etc)
Event
(Hallow Spirit, Frozen Fury etc)
Character Effects
(Debt, healing, mez, damage taken)
Kill Badges (could be renamed defeat badges, I suppose)
(Gearsmasher, Illusionist)
Level
(Justice Incarnate, Keeper of the Peace)
Monster and AV
(Clockstopper, Statesman's Pal)
I would also be one who would like to see the history badges expand to read the history again.
As for unobtainable numbers? Not so worried about it. Although I have the sneaking suspicion my empath will be old and grey before she gets the empath badge.
I also have faith that the TF badges will be data mined for. The old ones were, and there's a much smaller number of people who've attempted the shard TFs than there were those who'd done the other TFs pre I2. You didn't get the badges on test, but once the issue went live, they were awarded within weeks.

Well, as an emp defender with the new i5 coming, i can see hitting the 1 billion healed mark someday. As is, after lvl 40ish, im more of a buffer. With the tanks needing some empy love, at 800+ a heal... 1 Billion? That is a high mark to shoot for, but not out of reach for emps (sorry to those medicine-pool types, what can i say?). Might have to stop the drive by heals and run some missions.

FUN FACTS TIME!
1,000,000,000 healing for badge / 800 per heal = 1,250,000 heals for badge.
of course that doesn't count your previous heal total.
Does it count the amount of hit points the target recovers or the amount the cast can recover. For example, if I'm down 100 hp below my max, and you hit me with heal for 800, do you get credit for 100 or 800?
You get 100, it's only for what you heal not for what you can heal per your slotting.

You get credit for the 100 only. When the badges first came out that was confirmed by a red name.

I can see why you wnat this, but I only exemplared to do the TF and now that isn't even an option with the new auto-exemplar.
Now others might exemplar all the time.

Since the number of monkeys has been reduced on test, will there be epic defeat badges?
So, those that have the 10K for Zookeeper would have 2 badges (1K and 10K)
And, for those characters that RP and 'defeat' specific villians whenever they can? Like those that like to arrest Prisioners, or Tsoo Sorcerers?

Badges need an info button, when looking at your own badges.
The badges for task forces would have what would be the souvenier. The history badges would have the text from the history plaques you clicked on. Defeat badges would have the description of the thing(s) you defeated. Others could be fluff for now, and expanded later.
Solves the problem of lack of souveniers, makes the stuff we supposedly learned from the history plaques accessible, etc.
My arcs are constantly shifting, just search for GadgetDon for the latest.

There was talk of adding one... but it would be beyond reason for anyone to attain the 10,000 Monkey badge at this point. The reason the badge was lowered in the first place was to compensate for the increased difficulty in getting to 10,000.
If we made a 10,000 badge now, we'd have the same problem all over again.

Well, you could just make "epic defeat badges" also.

Indeed!
"Judge" - Awarded for getting 150 defeat badges.
Assuming there are even 50 of the badges available.
I know PRE-i5 there are 35ish.
yeah, you could make only the 1k one needed for the accolade instead of the 10k one. That way badge hunters have something to do and people that just want the accolade can get it easily
I've seen on at least one website that it will take 3888 hours to earn the final SK'ing badge, is there any truth to this? If it is true, that would take 2.13 years of SK'ing every day for 5 hours a day. Any chance that Exemplaring can be counted toward the mentoring badge? I see them one in the same, you as a higher level hero are teaming with a lower level hero to help them out.

Nope, only dedicated badge hunters would care about the higher one if the lower one was the one required for the accolade. It's still more attainable than the heal 1 billion and the illusionist decoys.
Can you offer a second chance to get isolator please, some of us went thru the tutorial pre badges.
Please datamine all the other TFs, particularly Calvin Scott which can't be redone.
Also some of us are proud of getting to 50 with only one debt badge, it goes against the grain to have to take a dive to get more badges. How about alternate badges awarded at 50 for getting there without acquiring the debt badges.
I would echo the call for an official badge page, describing exactly what is required to do ie kill skulls bosses, kill BP spirit masks but not in 40+ portal missions etc.

Ahh. So this is a sorta nerf in a way for those who spent countless hours on the monkeys to achieve something, only to have wasted all that time in the end. Like so many did with Hamidon and Hami-Os. Bangs head against wall.
Since no one else has said it, i guess I'll use my one post. When I2 went live and badges were first introduced, most TF badges were dataminded within a couple of days. That was for every toon that had completed every TF since lauch. Now granted, most people had to pentetion at least one of the badges that didn't show up (or at least most people in my SG and others i know), but within 2 weeks or so, everyone i asked had the correct badges.
Now, if they went threw all that for every toon in I2; I'm sure they will datamine our SS TFs, so lets try not to worry about it.
