I know what he said...........but it was (probably still is) definitely bugged, acting the way I described since I6/CoV was patched live. I don't believe there has been a patch for it, or at least mentioned that it was fixed.
The one character that I have spent the necessary time for Siren's Call does not belong to any SG. I started out with the normal play-time in Siren's, zoning out of Siren's to do other things, etc. After well over 5 hours of *cumulative* time, I started just leaving my character in Siren's, logging in and out of Siren's only, never zoning. After another ~5 hours of cumulative time, on the next log in, got the badge.
I've already forgotten about most of you

These badges are bugged currently. You have to spend a total of 5 hours in the zones without zoning or going into mission. You can only log out but your toon must remain in that zone until you have a total of 5 hours. Then log out and back in to earn it. If you leave the zone for any reason at all you reset the timer back to zero. I have Bloody Bay and Siren's Call badges on 3 toons, trust me I have tested it quite a bit. First time was unintentional which is why the same toon ended up spending 10+ hours in Bloody Bay over the course of 2 days. I would suggest that if you want the badge find a safe hiding spot, easier for heroes then villains since the hospitals are not the same and heroes have advantage. Go do laundry, watch tv, read a book, or kill heroes or villains for a bit. Come back every 20 minutes to move around so you don't get booted for being afk. Also if you get a map server disconnect this also seems to reset the timer. Happened to a few when everyone in Siren's Call got the boot.

Ok, what happened is I spent 7 hours + in Bloody Bay PvP'ing, PvE'ing and so forth, pretty much non-stop action. I didn't zone, take a mission or log once - when I was ready for a break, I zoned back into Cap Au Diable and logged. When I logged back in, I saw the badge still hadn't appeared, so I zoned back into Bloody Bay - still no badge. I'm going to try logging in and out of Bloody Bay and see if that triggers it - if not, I'm going to be pretty annoyed. For me to stay in game without crashing in that time period is a rare thing.

"I zoned back into Cap Au Diable and logged"
I think that is what got you. The problem seems to be *any* zoning out, or taking missions within the zone, reset the timer. If you had *stayed* in BB, logging out your character, and then re-logging back in, you should have gotten it. I'm thinking zoning to CaD reset the timer for you :-/
Double check your badge windows though. Hopefully you got the badge and it just didn't flash the screen text for you.

Yup, you zoned out after 5 hours and reset the time. You can not zone out at all and muct log out from the PVP zones.
[ QUOTE ]
Actually, Lord Recluse has discussed this already. The time is cumulative. If you zone or log, you get it once reentering the PVP zone. Although I read somehere that you should try zoning/logging out of SG mode as this has helped some people (plz don't quote me on the latter...just a suggestion)
[/ QUOTE ]
Sorry but he is wrong, badge is bugged and while time does add up if you ONLY log out from the zone. If you leave the zone you reset the clock.
Ok, I need to disagree here. My character did not spend 5 hours without zoning in either Siren's Call or Warburg to get these badges. I think this is one of the "It's been fixed, but only time since a certain patch counts" situations.
If you want to be safe, don't zone. I only found out it was working by logging about every hour just to be safe and getting it before I expected.

And I will disagree with you too because I spent over 10 hours in Bloody Bay over the course of 2 days, timed while running herostats. I zoned out a couple times because I had misread the logging out thing that Lord Recluse had posted. I have 2 of the time badges on 3 toons so trust me when I say I have done a lot of experimenting with it. I believe that if you log out first then zone it saves the time but if you zone then log it resets.
When I log onto the test server, I get the following badges:
Villain
Kaolin Legacy of Earth gladiator
Night Widow gladiator
Longbow Spec-Ops gladiator
Wolf Spider Enforcer gladiator
So hopefully some of these should be showing up on live soon (or just getting fixed if they're already there).

Ok thanks a lot

what i would do if i were you is to bind a key or create a macro,
/bind l "loc"
Thats a lowercase L
or
/macro LC "loc"
This will creat and icon labeled LC (you can choose different letters, but id keep it to 2 to make it easy to read)
Quick question- has anyone verified what a hero needs to do to get the "Rocketman" badge?
Tygara - 50 Claws/Regen/Power Scrapper, Virtue- Member of Kitties on the Prowl.
Shadeburn - Dark/Rad Defender, Virtue- Member of Catch 'Em Crew
Nature Boy' - Elec/Ice Blaster, Virtue - Member of Young Phalanx
Launching 10 rockets worked fine for me
This isn't much help, but if you're feeling masochistic and don't have any Rikti missions on hand, occasionally some Rikti Monkeys will appear in the Rikti spawns at Agincourt. Have to get to them fast before the Nullifiers and base guns get them, though.
Arc #41077 - The Men of State
Arc #48845 - Operation: Dirty Snowball
I'd only see that happen once. IMO, it's kinda stupid where they have some of these spawns. You run over there thinking you're going tokill X enemy, then by the time ya get there, that enemy has already been killed by a drone or something else. It's rather frustrating.

Of any kind, or of only one kind? and did you have to do it in one session, or could you log out?

Multiple sessions of any kind
You also occasionally get Banished Pantheon masks showing up at agincourt. Actually, all sorts of weird fun stuff turns up there; the Monkeys and the Masks are just the two major things of interest to badge collectors. Everything can be found elsewhere; those two are just the hardest to get the right missons for.
Totally different question: Vidiotmaps is claiming Headhunter, for killing 50 heroes in PvP, is now available. Can anybody confirm this one here? It sounds hard, but not as bad as trying to get disruptor the right way. 
...Huh, my hero got "Kaolin Legacy of Earth" when she logged in today. Anyone know what triggers this, now that its fixed? (Didn't even know heros could get it...)

The trigger is the 25 badges collected badge. Both sides get it.
Well, then, nice that its fixed!

Does anyone know if the Warden Badge was fixed in the patch? I can confirm that the Villain badge is fixed, I recived it on login. Also a bunch of posts ago someone asked if anyone knew about the Grand Lanista badge, but I did not see any answers yet, can anyone confirm if this badge is atainable? If so any idea as to how many matchs you need to win, do they have to be ranked or consecetive? Thanks in advance form any info.

At current, none of the badge hunting Kings, Witches, Guru's and addicts have gotten the Grand Lanista to my knowledge.
Edit: I should read all my favorite threads before replying:

It's not number of deaths, it's debt-repayment, and since you don't earn any debt from PVP kills, no repayment, hence no badge.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No there's one for Debt Repayment, Number of Deaths, and Damage Taken. All of them being sperate badges. Check Vidiotmaps.
[/ QUOTE ]
Nicely done. I'll try tracking badges with the XLS file.

There is no seperate badge for number of deaths. Simply debt repaid and damage dealt unto you by outside sources.

Did they do some datamining on the Villain badge? When I went to go look at the fixed badge bars on test, Apis Queen had just a little bit over half her bar filled. On live, my Longbow bar is nearly full, and I know for certain I haven't killed that many Longbow in the intervening days. Granted, I went tearing through Agincourt briefly, but I couldn't have gotten more than 50.

From what I understand the badge was broken so nothing counted toward it for a while, and they fixed that (I'm not sure when) however the badge was still broken so that it wasn't being awarded. *That* was fixed in the last patch. So there's a period of time where Longbow you've been killing counted toward the badge.
[ QUOTE ]
Some updates and corrections.
Spectral is for trapping 100 ghost
Privateer is for trapping 50 ghost
Strike Buster 100? of any scrapyarders (got the badge killing a minion)
Fixer 250,000 damage healed (for the MMs, henchmen count for this [they may also count for some of the other badges, unconfirmed])
[/ QUOTE ]
how exactly do you trap a ghost???
also (from vidiotmaps) there's a plaque in sharkhead kinda near the NW corner, at the end of one of the docks, but I can't find it in the game
sorry if these questions were answered already, the thread is way too long to read
someone should consolidate all the info into the first post for ease
Actually, Lord Recluse has discussed this already. The time is cumulative. If you zone or log, you get it once reentering the PVP zone. Although I read somehere that you should try zoning/logging out of SG mode as this has helped some people (plz don't quote me on the latter...just a suggestion)
