Will Snowbeast also be fixed?

Yes. This is given to players who got the Toy Collector badge in December.

Whoot, I remember sending you a PM requesting a snowbeast gladiator in CoV Beta! So I'm retroactively taking credit for this idea.
Come to think of it... the gladiator awarded with Toothbreaker was on my list, too, and I know I was bugging Recluse for it...

/sarcasm on
Wow, you took credit for the change to the badge forum, and now for 2 gladiators....what would we do without you? If it wasn't for you the Devs would have no clue as to what to do about badges and gladiators, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Now if we had an Instant Base raid system with an option of [Gladiators Only] ...that would be an idea!!

Yup Solo'd 5xSnappy with a lv 14 Rad/Rad Corruptor and a level 40 Rob/FF MM
For the Corruptor the range on her snipe was greater than the range of Snappys ranged attacks and the Rascals. It was just a matter of time.
For the MM, it was:
1. Defeat Lt snappy
2. Back off and switch on PFF, the rascals came straight for me (being a targeted wave) ignoring my bots totally. Rascals die
3. Defeat Boss Snappy
4. Repeat #2
5. Defeat EB Snappy using force bolt to keep him back.

It comes down to the simple fact that special events are just that, special. They shouldn't be repeated and you shouldn't have the opportunity to get those badges at a later time. Call it, for lack of a better pun, a badge of honor.

....*looks at Cold Warrior badge*...umm...
People might not have bothered spending the hour+ to get Toy Collector because they didn't see it as providing anything beyond a badge and a title and for them content/fun is more important than showing off the size of there...badge list...
It wasn't "fun" getting Toy Collector. It was a mindless grind. And what was the prize for the mindless grind? A badge. That was it. No gladiator no nothing. If the badge was bugged and was supposed to give a Gladiator then they should have said so.
Would you be atleast a little upset if you walked into a grocery store and bought 300 bucks worth of groceries and as you're getting ready to push your cart away you hear the cashier tell the guy behind you, "Sir, since you bought this pack of gum all your groceries are free today."
Same situation as this. If they'd gone for something they didn't really need they would have gotten this nice prize.

Yeah something's wrong with him. I can hold him with only two of my holds when he's elite. It should take all three of my holds to lockdown an elite boss.

So do you have to do the same mission over and over? Every time I finish it, DJ Zero sends me back out again. How many times until I actually complete it? Five times? Ten? A MILLION?
5
Oddly enough like the first day of the event I logged with my hero and only did it 3 times an got badge.
Question. Obviously Ganymede and Scratch will be going away after the 22nd. What about DJ Zero's missions? Is he still going to be offering the Snaptooth mission to anybody with the Handsome/Beautiful badge after the event ends? Seems reasonable to say yes, since HIS missions aren't really specific to the holiday.

I think that you're not understanding it. I am, in fact, thinking that this hypothetical neighbor rewards you with $20 after you dig out her driveway (or maybe bakes you a batch of cookies). Now, I look at this situation and say, "What I am getting out of this is the satisfaction of doing the good deed and getting some exercise." If that's enough, so be it, if not, then don't do it. The Toymaker badge, the present drops, the temporary powers, and the satisfaction of actually doing a couple-hours grind to get a rare badge that most people blew off is the equivalent to the self-satisfaction of shoveling the driveay.
But oh! Look, after I shoveled the driveway out I got HOMEMADE COOKIES! Yum! Bonus! (maybe it was right after I dug it out, maybe it was weeks later when she started baking.) And in this case we have "oh hey we unbugged the snowbeast gladiator minion and you'll be getting one with your toymaker badge." It's the nice bonus surprise, not something promised up front or contracted for.
I maintain, you should make the decision based on what you know, and shouldn't reconsider it with 20/20 hindsight.

No I think you're not understanding: You are still comparing doing something for someone else (regardless of reward) vs doing something for yourself (regardless of reward)!
Now, had I known I'd be getting paid $20.00 to shovel MY driveway (even though no one EXCEPT me is affected by me shoveling my driveway or not) maybe I'd have done it.
The fact is, if I'm the only one affected by me shoveling my driveway, and the only 'reward' is the aching back, maybe I'll skip it. The snow needs to be damned deep for me to have issues getting in/out of my driveway.
However, if my neighbor was gonna' toss me a $20.00 for shoveling my driveway maybe I'd do it.
On the same token, getting Toymaker was a pain in the butt that I skipped thinking IT'S ONLY ONE BADGE. I could have made the time to get it had I know there was going to be more to it. I didn't. This came out after the fact. I made an UNINFORMED decision, period.
By itself it wasn't worth the effort, had I know it was worth 2 badges (badge + a gladiator) I would have at least put in the effort on my main, if not all my toons.
At some point, I would wager that you will have to accept the fact that the Developers decided to add the Gladator attached to Toy Collector after the fact. Bottom line, things will be added to this game always and forever going forward, and this fits quite well in line with the vision (TM) that no single toon can experience all the content there is in the game.
Additionally, Gladiators are being added all the time as a newer feature so some retrospective attachment and awarding is to be expected.
Tell me BL, what would you have the developers do for those of you who skipped the 3+ hours of Toy Collecting because you didn't know there would be a Gladiator attached?

Tie it to Cold Warrior which makes more sense.
I'm not asking for Toy Maker. I opted to get that (as I've said) it's just ONE BADGE. I chose not to get it based on the belief it was ONE badge. I would have gotten it on my main had I know it was a twofer deal.
However they should tie it to cold warrior. Makes more sense. ::shrug:: That's just answering your question so please guys don't jump all over me... just answering a question.
Current speculation about DJZero is that there will be additional PocketD missions in the near future to continue to encourage hero/villain teams.

So, you want the Developers to attach the Snow Beast Gladiator to Cold Warrior, a Badge you earned from defeating 100 Snow Beasts?
I can see the logic behind that as many Gladiators are awarded along with Defeat 100 Badges yet there are a number of them that are connected to other Badges now as well.
You can try and petition it that way. Best of luck to you.

I don't plan to petition it. I was merely stating my peace, not asking the devs to change their minds. I'd be happy if Posi sees this and going forward he and the devs make every attempt to take into consideration the thoughts of those of us who feel a little cheated on the deal.
It also wouldn't be fair for me to ask them to take away that 'bonus reward' those of you who got the toymaker badge are getting. However, at the time, just as we made an uninformed decision not getting it, you made an uninformed decision getting it. You got it because you wanted it, not because it unlocked an additional badge. In this case though it happens to work in your favor. ::shrugs::

No, I'm not. I'm saying, "What I am getting out of this is the satisfaction of doing the good deed and getting some exercise." I am saying, what I am getting FROM MYSELF for myself is 'X.' That the neighbor surprised me with something else is just a bonus; I did it for 'X.' That's what I'm making my decision on, and what I think you should make it on. In your example, you're effectively saying, "Shoveling my own sidewalk so I don't slip on it isn't good enough; I need to know I'm getting the neighborhood association award for most promptly-cleared walk to make it worthwhile."
Consider this: A lot of people are getting Toothbreaker now by running other people's lower level missions. Those people are filling up their contact bar with DJ Zero. What if, after this event ends, those people who filled up their DJ Zero contact bar get something else, such as one or more additional missions which are play content, or maybe even facilitate or unlock another badge? Would you be upset you weren't notified there was something in it for you if you got him as a full contact? I say, you have the opportunity now; if you choose not to use it, well, you make your choice knowing what everyone else does: nothing.
FYI, there's a patch on the test server. You're missing out on a 150 Frostling minion. I doubt you'll miss the snowman.
Question about Toothbreaker. Does it have to be all five of YOUR missions, or can you earn it running anybody's Snaptooth mission?

And what about those that 'chose' not to fight the 100 beasts for that badge, because they didn't feel it was worth the time since they didn't know that a gladiator be associated with it. But if they had known they would have taken the time and effort to do it.
Only 2 options really.
1. They can take it out and wait til next christmas to put it in and let people know it is there. And listen to people whine because they have to now wait.
2. Leave it in game offer it up next year with some other cold badge and listen to people whine until then.

Too many theoreticals. I prefer to go after the Badges I want when they are available. Special Event Badges are just that, special, as they may never be available again.
I could really care less about Gladiator Badges. I've never once used the Arena, much less the Gladiator option.
My advice : If you're a Badge-[censored], it shouldn't matter. You'll get the Badge cause you want it. So, do it or don't without any thought to what Easter Egg may come of it.

Heh. Three of the 5 times I fought him, I soloed him on the 4th difficulty level with my stone/stone brute. Took nearly a whole tray of inspirations and was a tough fight. It was so fun, glad I can repeat it agai. Gonna have to snag my fire tank and see how she fares as well.
I mostly concentrated on Snaptooth and let Mud Pots whittle away the minions and lt's, with liberal use of Fault in there to keep 'em on their backs.
