The badge that never was

This is an odd bug and one I just petitioned. I did the villain mission with my hero for the Pocket D contact. Upon destroying the Couldren I got the mission complete and badge awarded. Upon checking the badge I actually was given the 'Visitor' badge which as you know is for 10 badges. So clearly something is wrong here, how can I get the Visitor badge without being awarded another badge?

I have looked and there is no system message saying I got any badge other than Visitor nor does a new badge appear on my list.

Very odd.

Regardless, he still got "Visitor" which implies he got badge #10 first.

No other badge should mean no Visitor.

::waves hand:: This is not the badge count badge you are looking for... you can go about your business... move along...

(translation: It's a bug, there is an invisible badge being issued that's being counted as a badge. This is being fixed).

You have to do 4 missions.........two with your contact (with a villain) then two with their contact.......with you.

Unless you did that and still didnt get it.

actually, you only have to do three missions to get the badge. the first mission from the opposite side's contact doesn't need to be done to get the handsome/beautiful badge.

Well, do you need to do the first mission from your side? I mean, yeah, if it's your mission, but if you're doing another same-side-person's mission... ?

That happened to me and... Nymie, I think it was. Finished Cauldron and got Visitor but nothing else.

I have to ask, just what DOES an invisible badge look like?

My Peacebringer got the "Kaolin Legacy of Earth" badge doing that mission... (he also got the badges he was supposed to get)
I thought it was a villain badge...
None of my other Alts got that badge.

Also... he has a "Lanista" badge but I never even once fought a gladiator battle.

Lanista is bugged to hell. I was doing glads with a buddy on an alt. It was his first gladiator match. To say I got owned would be being nice. Not only did I get the 'win' credit I got lanista. Needless to say he was ticket because it muffed up his perfect record on his main lol. But yeah something is screwey with Lanista.

Not sure what requirements are for the Kaolin. A couple of my toons got him as I logged on so assuming he's tied to another badge they might have already had or a kill count they had met.

Invisible objects are infact mauve in color. Oh and thanks Positron, so am I to understand that now I've done the Couldren mission, the Snaptooth mission (on the villain side) then I'll get my badges when I run my own missions?

[/ QUOTE ]

No. You just need to do the Lockbox and Cauldron missions. Thus, someone else could get the initial missions on each side, finish them, then unite with other characters to do the last two missions.

The Kaolin badge should be tied to the "Have 25 badges" Badge. (it's still early for me, but might be tied to the 10 badges badge).

Lanista is tied to your first Glad match win. Doesn't have to be rated.

I've already forgotten about most of you

Duh I'm smart. It was MY first match with that alt. Not his first match. Way to preview your own post before posting lol. :P ::as I go and UNcheck "I want to preview my post"::

Yeah but it says you have WON your first glad match. I didn't win. I lost. I lost badly. I lost every glad I had... none of his were dead. There was no questioning who won. So it must be tied to your first glad match period and is bugged or the text for the badge is wrong.

HOWEVER... besides that... *I* got the rating for it. Again... I lost. I lost bad. I had 0 glads he had all of his left.

My theory: Lanist is bugged. Instead of awarding on your first win it awards after your first match. Lanista it tied to WINNING. Bug kicks in, awards Lanista, Lanista tells the system you won. If this is even remotely possible I don't know but would explain how I got the cred for winning.

I received the Lanista badge on my CoH main by observing a gladiator match.
