I spent 1.5 hours yesterday with my son doing LB mission's in Warburg, He was lk'ed to me the entire time. We did 13 seperate missions, I still have NO counter for a Mentoring badge. Something is not working right, a simple, You have to be recieving damage/giving damage/earning XP, or whatever, I am simply looking for an answer, no cheating.

I can understand the frustration of not having an exact way of making sure you are receiving full credit. From what I have seen, this is what the devs want. Active playing definitly does reward the badge, and you don't get the first one until I believe 8 hours, so if you have someone to play along with such as your son, just have fun, enjoy the game and you will get the badge quickly enough.
[/ QUOTE ]
My guess would be that, because PVP zones level everyone up and down to the same level, no effective mentoring happens.
[/ QUOTE ]
You can't mentor or exemplar anyone in Warburg (or any PVP zone) proper, but you can inside missions, because the missions don't auto-SK/EX.
Now, whether or not there's lingering code that causing the auto-SK/EX to linger in a way that takes credit away from the badge...
Never surrender! Never give up!

Keep in mind also that if you're running your son's missions in warbug (door missions) and you lk him thus greying out the enemies, you may not be helping the badge as you won't be gaining XP even though you're fighting through the mission. Like the last poster said, PvP may have a coding issue with awarding.tracking mentoring time. Try to run regular missions in regular zones. I am almost on my third badge, so I know it is not bugged and I do lackey within missions etc. no standing watching the perverbial paint dry. Also I reluctantly suggest to PM Posi and Cuppa, someone will get back to you. Explain the situtation (not grief that the system is bugged or something) and they should help you...after all Posi would never had known about the PvP time badges being buggy if players didn't come forth with their concerns/issues 
(well maybe not never...but you get the point)

When Giant Monsters get tougher (Issue 7), this number will drop to 10%(or more), encouraging more teams to fight them. The rewards will be increasing as well.
[/ QUOTE ]
Problem with this...some monsters are set up for just one group:
Babbage: Ambushes team doing Synapse TF
Krakken: In Sewer Trial, must be defeated four times at bottom even if you can avoid the Krakken in the scaffolding
Adamastor: In instanced mission at end of Numina TF
Kronos: Surprise ambush after exiting mission, and then in surprise timed mission.
Quarry: Two of these must be defeated in an instanced mission in the Eden trial.
I may be an exception, but I don't find giant monsters in need of a buff. My only complaint is with how often they spawn.
[/ QUOTE ]
Zone Giant Monsters are getting the buff. GM's that are mission-specified (like the ambush ones, or the Eden trial, etc) are not being touched. Those GMs are "arch-villain" level, i.e. made to be beaten by 1 team.
Zone Giant Monsters are the GM's that appear randomly (or triggered) in zones. This does not include the ambushes that are triggered from missions.
This change will be both CoH and CoV.

Did this get dropped by the wayside? Also,

According to the new Guide the Gunner badge is available. But I remember that being bugged. Has it been fixed? If so, Is it retroactive or must I go through the mission again?

I was just wondering about the Patron Badges, I searched the boards for info but couldn't find any.
Is it possible to aquire all the Patron badges by helping others complete the missions?

I am pretty sure that the answer to this is no. I believe Positron posted something on this.

The answer IS no. Only ONE patron badge can be earned.
thx guys

Poz could possibly add some limited sorting to the Badge window, but it would be SO limited, it would be almost useless to you (we can't sort by "when you got it" for example, since we dont track that).
[/ QUOTE ]
I respectfully disagree. Sorting exploration badges alphabetically, for example, would make setting your title MUCH easier. Try looking through a list of 94 badges for "Egg Hunter". Keeping the achievements together by type (all the healing badges together) would make that tab look much more professional, IMO.
A big deal? Not really. Almost useless? Erm, no.

Is there a badge for tread necromancy?

Shoot on sight, please.
Yes, not the worst case. I think the question is valid, and I would like to hear what the response, if any, would be.

it was posted in another thread why they cant by posi himself. and was just linked to yesterday.
edit - here is the link.
Tribal, that was what the necro post replied to. And no, it doesn't answer Tamagojin's question. Positron also made a point of saying that he didn't want to add a new tab to the badge window, guess what? Along comes Vet Rewards, and they have a new tab in the badge window.

[/ QUOTE ]
What I, and it seems Tamagojin, is saying is that Positron is wrong about the "usefullness" of a sort function for the list. In other words, I could care less about "when" as opposed to "alphabetically", or the explorations by zone, for instance. The same sort could be used to arrange the contact list by zone.
{edit}It is purely a case of development blinders as to why there isn't a sort function in either the badges or contact list.{/end edit}

yeah thats my bad. i didn't actually re-read the link for it. just remembered it being posted.
Any word on this one Posi? Arachnos Flyer spawns seem to be seriously bugged. Only a handful of players have ever even seen the thing let alone defeated it for the badge. How bout it? would be nice to get some definitive word from a redname instead of the rumors of " a redname posted and said it's working properly" or a secondhand /petition report about the "flyer is working as intended". Sorry I just can't buy those same, lame reasons anymore. Spent waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time hunting, looking for, or trying to force-spawn it through various different means. IS it or is it NOT bugged??? Inquirying minds want to know??? 
Positron,
Just wondering if there will be a point in time where non-anniversary log-in badges will be awarded again (Longbow Reservist/Jet Setter, Heart of Light/Darkness etc.)
Thank you

It would be particularly great if those could be on a per-account rather than per-character basis. I've got some characters in mind that would be great with the patrician robe from last year's Valentine's day event...but it's not available.

I'm just curious, why isnt thier a bagde for getting 300 badges yet, heros and vilains have over 300 badges now and plus heroes will be getting too the 400 mark soon, plus when badge amounts get that high, getting a new badge for every 100 badges makes sense when it gets that high. Atl east give us a 300 nad a 400 badge in i9.

How about an Accolade for the 200 and 400 Badge mark? I like to get badges but am getting very tired of hearing other players denigrate badges even to the point of being unwilling to participate in a badge mission unless it helps toward their Power Leveling.
