Finally got my Toy Collector last night after touching about 10-15 more gifts, and it was on a Naughty one, so any gift must work towards it.

Ya a friend of mine just got his after clicking a naughty box so I can confirm this. Also thou, it must be over 200 because I've been collecting them for hours upon hours and have not gotten it yet.

Check newest patch notes. If your in SG mode it might not count now.

That is most definitely NOT what the patch note says.
Previously prestige was given on some presents when in SG mode. Now, it is not. The presents still count for Toy Collector, nothing has changed. I did all 3 of my toons in SG mode, and got the badge no problems.

Notice the might not count in my post you friggin idiot. The patch notes are a little vague. So I thought I'd mention it. Also newest patch is only from this morning.

I think you missed the part where it said "in Holiday missions..."

This has nothing to do with the outdoor presents or the Toy Collector badge.

I'm pretty sure that was uncalled for.

Aside from that, speculation should make at least some sense, and there really isnt any way to get from clickables will no long grant prestige to clickables that grant prestige no longer count for the badge. Yup patch notes were vague, and all you did was make it more vague.

This is probably shooting myself in the foot in the name of helping others, but here's the Christmas Ninja's gift-gathering route.

Head to Nerva and find the isle with four statues, one at each corner. Just about straight north of the base portal. At each plaque on that island (note they aren't history plaques, they're just there) a gift will appear. That'll give you five (four corners, center).

Now, from there, head to the island to the East. A statue straight out of Galaxy City marks the direction. There's two buildings by a Crey holding facility- the first respec is on the far side. The northernmost building, first 'balcony' you'll find a gift on. Now run around the building and jump northeasterly towards some boats. One has a gift on it. From there, jump southwards. There's three buildings East to West in the Crey compound- go to the Westernmost one and check inside. Another gift awaits you.

That'll put you at eight presents.

Now, the opposite side of that four-statue island, down towards the base portal, there's one rediculously large building. Atop that there's a present. Further, between that building and the statue island, there's a small harbor with a single boat tied up next to a two-tier dock. Present on the dock.

That's ten in a small area that you can hit in a quick, easy circuit.

If you want to expand outwards, to the North of the Crey island, there's a big building- think maybe one of the Brokers is there- haven't paid attention. In any case, there's a fountain there, in a group of pillars. Another present is there.

Also, just to the NE of the base portal, there's a present.

So there's twelve. Lots of people already hit these, but even so with all of them there, I can get enough gifts to hand out to the little 'uns down on Mercy and Port Oakes. Last night I got a full thirty-eight present inspirations over about two hours, including trips to hand 'em out. Probably clicked three times that many glowies.

And if you see a ninja in a Santa suit jumping around there, it's probably me.

Hey! That's my route! The presents on the four corners of the small island respawn quite quickly.

There must be more you aren't telling us. That location has a History plaque. Clicking a single plaque never gives you a badge, and this one doesnt either. Are you a hero or villain? what other plaques have you visited recently? Did your source give you other locations? I have a theory, but I have yet to find the final piece of the puzzle. You need to post more complete info.

He is good, it is a useful tool, I use it myself for some of the information. But he gets alot of information through means we will not discuss here, and that information isn't always right

It isn't always turned on. SOmetimes I think they deliberately do not activate badges and accolades that are clearly....uncovered through means not involving game play

THAT is what this thread is for. people uncovering information IN GAME the way it is meant to be and sharing it with others who are interested.

I have to agree here. Vidiotmaps is great and a good guide but its not the end all be all. You still have to look around. Sure in teh first 3 or 4 zones they have pretty much everything covered but there is still a lot of stuff to find in the other zones. Conformation of a badge or plaque is always nice from several people in game.

Hi I'm Vestan and I'm.... *sniff* a Badge [censored].

The last two nights I spent over 5 hours total getting the Toy Collector badge on my COH and COV main's

I just wanted to tell everyone that I'm around and I hunt badges like a fiend.... thank you and thanks everyone for all the info you've given.

[/ QUOTE ]Ok cool. My question is, is there any reason why the badge locations for Nerva, St. Martial, and Warburg aren't yet posted in this thread? I've got most of these badges but was wary to post here and risk an etiquette breach.


It's not how many times you get knocked down that count. It's how many times you get up.

 

Posted

They aren't posted because people want to keep them secret, or they assume most other people already know, or that someone will have posted already.

If you learn something you think is new, share it. If you get a badge that you've only heard about word of mouth, post it. I posted the reply to the original BB plaque post because I knew nothing about the plaque in Nerva. If there's also one in St Mart, then that's another I havent heard about. I'm all about open communication, that's what this forum is for.

Thanks.

I got most of these exploration badges off a site linked earlier in this thread and confirmed them. Camel Snot and Dueces Wild I stumbled onto myself before that though.

Nerva
Watcher on the Knoll (-94.9, 85.1, 5433)
Tree Hugger (-165.8, 12.3, -180.5)
Primal Instinct (2305.2, -109.6, 797.6)
Nerva Wreck (1388.3, 10.3, 2877.3)
Locked and Loaded (3286.5, 126.3, 3644.1) current title on my Merc MM.

St. Martial
Camel Snot (-1885.2, 595.8, 2046.5)
Deuces Wild (-3326, -28.8, -435.3)
Crime lord (-895, 10, -1495)
Stonekeeper(-2549, 120, 2995)

Try them and confirm if you would.

I've only got 1 from Warburg and have forgotton which exactly it was. Think it's WMD. At any rate, please consider the following unconfirmed until another poster says different.

Warburg
W M D (-751, 146, 0)
Tunnel Rat (-1218, 1, 145)
Triumphant (228, 274, 32)

I won't be confirming these anytime soon as Stalkers are scary and PvP zones don't have SG beacons.


It's not how many times you get knocked down that count. It's how many times you get up.

Hi, my (character's) name is Professor Eviella, and I'm a serious badge-a-holic.

I just wanted to thank everybody who has posted in these threads for their help, and ask a few questions:

Does anybody know a good place to hunt Mu Guardians? I've found a few in Cap, but not a lot.

Does anybody know why Vidiotmaps is showing "The Stinger" confirmed under accolades? I sure haven't seen anybody with it.

Is there any good way to convince the game you're not actually AFK when you're trying to get the time badges for the PvP zones? A book on the space bar didn't work, and I really don't feel like spending 5 straight hours paying attention to a pvp zone.

Thanks for any help in advance.
