I had the opportunity to look through that shiny new binder for cov, the strategy guide... I couldn't find badges in it?? It says complete guide, so I guess I just missed them? I don't know why badges would be left out of a guide.... could you clear this up for me? Thank you! XD

I got that guide too and it sucks . . . should have contributed that money to vidotmaps, its alot better!
Posi if you are still reading this, why aren't badge fixes ever acknowledged in the patch notes? It would be nice to know when you can start going after badges that were known to be bugged.

I also believe that at time it was being printed (during Beta) the whole badge and plaque thing was being put together. Even in CoH the whole badge thing took a while to put together. My opinion is that the list so soon after release is a bit of a spoiler. The I7 update might have them and if not we can ask Statesman to incorporate it into the I8 release of the notes.
In the meantime, the boards are the best place to find info, and on the web as well. Nothing also can compete with compiling your own. I bought both guides and use them all the time, especially when compiling my own guide. If anything I just like the way it looks

Thank you to everyone who responded, it was very helpful! I did check out vidiotmaps, and wow that's some detailed stuff! I think since I have the Prima guide, I'll buy little stickers and make my own marks on the maps. I'd still like an official map, though; hopefully an update will make my anal-retentive dreams come true ;D Thanks again

Hey Posi -
I seem to recall somewhere that you were going to look into the Shadowshard Taskforces, about cutting them down from Ungodly Long to something more reasonable - and that you had an issue 7-8ish time frame for this.
Since these are the last TF badges I need still (and dont relish a 12 hour juant - I like the game, but not THAT much), I was wondering if there had been any foward progress on this? Since I havent heard anything, I'll guess that it's more Issue 8 than 7, right? Or has it fallen off the radar all together?
A question SO good, I had to ask it twice!
The Blue Coralax Badge does not seem to work correctly either. I killed 150 Blue Coralax in Nerva and no badge. This was after killing many in Port Oaks already.
I was clearing everything so I killed at least 3 times as many Green than Blue and many Reds too if there is a counter for overall Coralax.
As soon as I went back to Port Oakes and killed 20 there I got the badge. I think this is another badge which isn't counting mobs over a certain level, but I haven't found anyone else who hunted Coralax anywhere but Port Oakes.
PS Hunting Coralax in Nerva is a lot more fun.
----------------------------
You can't please everyone, so lets concentrate on me.
I did most in PO, but then got the rest in Sharkshead when I went to Potters for Hellfrost, and tankbuster. Don't recall the level on them but want to say 27ish.
Mentoring badges, do you have to be earning XP to get them? Can you sit in a mission with your Lackey next to you for extended periods of time and still earn the badge's?
Thank you for your answer.

You have to be earning xp it seems. I had a lackey with me to auto heal us as we took damage overnight. All we obtained was healing and damage, I didn't get my lackey badges.

See I have folks telling me that, and I have folks saying that they stood at the door for an entire night, night after night and have 5 Mentoring badges.
I just want a definitive answer from a Redname Thank you.

Well if you get a redname answering you in a PM let them know to post here. Because after 15 hrs in the mission taking damage and being healed not a single thing killed my lackey bar never moved and at the time I was still on the 1st lackey badge which is only 30 mins.
Well if the first lackey badge is only 30 min, I think there is a bug with it now, I've lackied individuals for 6-10 hours now doing missions and beating them, I don't have a badge to show for it yet.
Hey posi. On Badge-[censored].com there is a badge there that says Bug Finder(or something like that). The description is do an urgent bug report.

Bug Hunter.
Right now it can only be awarded by Cryptic and/or the GMs, and only if you find a significant bug. It's been awarded a single time for a prestige exploit.
Posi has talked about possibly giving this out if you had previously been in beta for either game, so that may change.
Next time please do a search. I'm pretty sure this has been mentioned before, and in this topic to boot.

about the lackey badges i think the bar doesnt work right i spent 3 nites having a lackey in a mish and the bar barely moved on the last 3. then at the end of the 3rd nite i had the last 3 lackey badges. hope this helps, but i didn't get any xp while doing this and got them.
Still looking for some direction on this. I sent Petition in game, and the best they could tell me was I did not qualify for the badge (1st one), I know that. I proceded to ask what is the criteria, and was told, "We can not tell you that" (or something close to those words)
Please, can a Redname or someone give us the lowdown on the requirments on how the Mentoring badges can be obtained.
Thank you for your response in this matter.
I know you mentioned that you didn't want PvP to go all the way to 50, so here's one posible solution: have a gap of a few levels between the level range for each zone. This way characters would have to do missions or hunt outside of the PvP zones for a couple of levels to be able to get into the next PvP zone.
I mention this possibility because I would really like to see higher level characters be able to get missions in PvP zones. I mostly solo with my lvl 50 Blaster, so I find a little disheartening to not be able to get some badges simply because I don't team as much as the next person, especially since, at level 50, I'm not getting experience anyway so it shouldn't hurt anything if I'm doing missions in PvP zones to get influence/prestige and the badges.
Just my 2 cents worth.

So Positron,
Any chance we can change your mind concerning Influence/Infamy progress bar?
Here is how I see it currently:
1) Will there be any consideration for lowering the requirements for the last 2 Influence/Infamy Badges with the onset of prestige? I'm fairly certain that the 5th badge is 1 billion and I'm guessing the 6th is 2 billion. The average player might earn around 1 million an hour at level 50 and approximately 40 million on their way to 50. That leaves a difference of 960 million. If you were to play 2 hours every day, you would have to play your 50 for an additional 480 days not in SG mode to earn the 5th badge. Is there a possibility of say cutting these last two required amounts in half? No SG would have you if you told them that "hey, sorry working on a badge for the next 480 days, and will not be earning prestige for the group." This is compounded for new players just starting since you start seeing a drop off of influence/infamy at 24 and no influence/infamy at 34, if in SGmode.
2) There are no progress bars for the influence/infamy badges. Doc Buzzsaw is unlocked via the 1st infamy badge which is very tough to attain prior to level 30. If you don't get the badge by 30 you miss out on content. My suggestion is either change the requirement to unlock Doc Buzzsaw or give the influence/infamy badges a meter.
I am in a Catch 22 situation. My Tanker just hit Level 34 and I am earning 1/10 the Influence as I am Experience. I am in SG Mode so my SG can earn a Base and pay the ridiculous Rent!!!
I can no longer afford to play in SG mode. I didn't even have enough Influence this time to upgrade my SOs.
The Devs keep increasing the difficulty and now you have to choose between a base and keeping your Enhancements from going RED? When will this nonsense end?

Is the level restriction to enter the zone 45 or 40? The Game Update page indicates that it's 40.

Leave SG mode for a while so you can earn enough inf. for your SOs, simple as that. Go back when you're maxed out. I always drop SG mode at 27 and 32 until I'm done shopping. Your SG only loses a level's worth of prestige from you, it's not going to hurt them that much.
Arc #41077 - The Men of State
Arc #48845 - Operation: Dirty Snowball
I'd guess you can get in at 40 and you are sk'd up to 45.

Quite simple as why Badges aren't there. Prima can't put out a good Guide. You want a good guide view websites that are put up by the players. I have 2 guides made so far 1 for CoH 1 for CoV Cohs is for the story arc missions, CoV is for all Missions. Getting ready to make my Powers Guide, and a badges guide. I don't tend to share them mainly because I create them in a way for my use, and many may not lke the layout I choose and then start gettig the I want this and that complaints. I would suggest finding some good sites that offer the info that you want and creating your own guides to the info. There are many sites up that have the info.
The link in my sig is good for Missions from 1-40 for villains, only a couple things are missing which I hope to have filled in this weekend. There are a couple sites out there that have the badges up (Mine is from back in Beta days and very incomplete, as is the salvage area).
