Thanks for this

I did every one of the Golden Roller's missions, until he stopped giving them out, and I never got the privateer badge, nor did I have any mission involving a "Sea Witch" are you sure this is the correct contact? also, if you did get it from this contact, perhaps missions are not contact specific like they are in CoH, that could explain it.

Perhaps you out-leveled his missions before he gave it to you. Only reason I can think of.

he stopped giving me missions half way into a level, so I didn't level, he just stopped giving missions and gave me the typical "scram, I got nothing more for you" response.
"All that crap is grey to me, no XP." - Positron 5/15/05 8:36am . . . The world stopped and silence ensued except for the sound of a crying infant off in the distance.

You had probably already outleveled him, but had started on an arc at an earlier level. Once you start an arc you can finish it no matter what your level.

I don't like to jump around contacts, so when I start a contact, I stick with it til I finish them off then I move on to another contact. I started this contact, never leveled once while working on this contact's missions, then about 6-7 bars into my level, missions suddenly stopped, I am very familiar with how contacts work, and story arcs, etc. Which is why I asked my original question since I found it odd how this contact just stopped dead cold like that. Oh well, perhaps I will /bug it, just to be thorough.
Cheers.

but what has been said is....if you started a story arch you cant outlvl it (i dotn think this is neccesarilly true, but...). Not all badge mishes are part of those archs, so while doing the arch you out lvld the contact, meaning he wouldnt offer his badge mish (or any other mish for that matter). This would explain my having missed certain badges even though i worked with a single contact till they were done with me.
Badge update (after much blood, sweat, and tears), these are confirmed for CoV.
100 badges = pathfinder, same as coh 
Electrician = kill gremlins (guessing around 200, lost count)
also unlocks gremlin
As super stated in another post, I figured out that the CoH kill badges can be obtained in CoV if you can find the enemy groups.
Tank buster = 100 freak tanks (best spot is BB)
also unlocks Tank Smasher
Finder = 100 lost bosses (Port Oaks)
also unlocks Anathema
Gearsmasher = 100 gears (Cap Au Diable)
also unlocks Cog
Hellspawned = 50 Damed (PO)
Legionnaire = 100 warrior bosses (Sirens Call)
Privateer = 100 sky skiffs (Sharkhead Isle)
Soul Binder = 100? CoT mages (PO, CAD)
Also known but not obtained yet:
Gravedigger
The Silver Bullet
Galdiator badges that are not tied to another badge:
Raider Engineer = 100 force field generators (SI)
Serpent Red Ink Man = 125 Blue Ink man (SC)

And I think people are missing the point of why I think there is an odd game behavior. I never leveled. Not once. I was fresh into my current level, and never once took a mission from the contact, then I approached the contact, so according to you folks if I had outleveled the contact, He shouldn't have offered me his very first mission. But he did, and about 4-6 bars into the SAME level, he stopped giving me missions. Now do you understand why I asked, and why it didn't make sense to me what had happened?

At 24 I received my Privateer badge (for trapping ghosts in Port Oakes) and talked to the fortunata whose name escapes me at the moment. She gave me a single arc, despite the fact that the highest level enemy in the arc was level 10, and I had obviously out-levelled her before getting the pre-requisite badge. Sometimes it apparently gives you the arc despite having already outleveled the contact, which may have been the case here. Who was the contact, and what level were you when you first started doing missions for them?
Contact: Golden Roller
I was level 19 when I started him, and was lv 19.5-ish when he stopped giving missions.
I never got the mission mentioning a "Sea Witch" nor did I get the badge mission for the "Privateer" badge.
Thats about it I think. if lv 19 outlevels that contact, it sure seems like an odd level to do so.
Cheers Mate !

There are, apparently, several "privateer" badges floating around, which is why I clarified which one I had. My point was that I had long outlevelled the contact in question before even speaking to her, and was given a story arc regardless. I haven't been able to find the thread with the contact lists offhand, however. If I recall correctly, Golden Roller is on the same "level" of the chain as Wheeler, which would put the Roller at 15-20. Odd.
Golden Roller should be 15-20. I received him as a contact at 14 and started on his missions at 15.

Are there any "defeat X many in Breakout" badges for CoV?

there is only the jailbird badge.
I hate to be the devil's advocate on this topic, but it has been my experience that you can outlevel your contacts mid-arc. I have at least 10 in CoH with my main like this and at least 2 with my alts. I don't think it was a bug as I've gone back to them (for the hell of it) but couldn't get anything. Maybe they changed it to +4 or +5 level over the contact's cap to still receive missions, but I have neither read nor confirmed this (I usually out level it by 1 level over cap...and it has pissed me off to end so many times)

How do I get the history badges. I have been to every plaque on Cap and I have nothing to show for it. Hopefully someone smarter than me is here.
They're not all on the same island. So far there's just Loremaster, which I think requires you to hit Mercy, Port Oakes, and Cap Au Diable, if not more (I'm lazy, what can I say). That's for all the plaques discussing the Children of Enos.
I did steal chemicals mission for Dr. Shelley for Mask Maker badge and didn't get a badge. only mission I didn't complete of hers was the protect her lab mission which failed when I stepped onto the third floor for the first time...which is a bug.

Can anyone confirm this one? All I found there was open water, no way to get to the elevation 137, no badge in sight (not even floating in the air at the coordinates). Or did I just miss it, or go to the wrong place somehow?
There's one more in Sharkhead that you'll need for Loremaster (right beside the ferry in the parking lot). As for the other history badges, I'm wondering if we're missing some plaques in Mercy (awful big island to only have 1 plaque).
Ok Here's a reposting of badge data, I'm not listing achievements currently, because collection info on some of them are schetchy at best.
