Cabal badge on villains

Posted

Ok so about a month or two ago I noticed a bar that was unknown at the very bottom of list. For a long time I had no idea what it was and then it finally hit me. The temp power given from Croatoa TF that gives the witch Amy. During a player announced event on Guardian I had killed one and that is around the time the bar appeared. Then I tested it on test server with someone else who did not have the bar. After they defeated Amy she had the bar appear on her toon. So after thinking it over and figuring out the math. In order to actually get the badge you would need 67 heroes with all 5 charges still to willingly allow you to kill Amy in a PVP zone. Those numbers are just too insane to imagine anyone actually suceeding in doing so.

I sent a PM to Positron about it with no reply, does he ever reply to PMs? But I asked if either the badge could be removed because having a badge bar that there was no real chance of completing would mean it would just sit there as incomplete. Or if when the Red Caps get added are Cabal also going to be added so there will be a chance of completing it. Just thought I would post this here and get some thoughts.

I don't think it's quite as bad as you say.

8 badge obsessed players. You each run the TF, then each take turns killing all the pets. You get 35 kills per cycle. 10 cycles and you're done.

But wait... you can easily have 24 people get kill credit for each pet, since each team only needs 25% of the pet's HP. So you could do this with 24 people, 23 getting credit for each pet. 3 teams run the TF and you have 115 pets to kill. You only need the TF 3 times.

Are there 23 other badge obsessed players on Liberty? I think I can get 4 people from the SG to go in on this.

The problem is, you only get the temp power the first time you do the TF; not every time.

Otherwise, several of us would be working on it already, I am sure.

Exactly so like I said in original post, you will need 67 heroes with all their charges still.

Actually Beef knows and said it is too insane to attempt. So even the most dedicated of us badge whores is saying hell no.

Could this be the first time in the history of badgewhoring where Beefy says a badge is too insane to get yet Taser is actually considering it?

hey if I could get enough heroes to donate their temp powers for a few villains, I would gladly get some teams going. But Im not about to go around asking everyone in broadcast to cast a Amy pet so I can kill her...lol

I would not do this unless I have a team of villains that would join me on Pinnacle to do such a task.

I have 2 accounts and a few others that I could work on getting the temp power which some of them already have them. So it could work. But not without others to team with me to get the badge along side me.

If I make the effort to get this badge I want others to benefit from it as well.

Don't expect this to work. I made a change that prevents this badge from being given to villains until a legitimate (i.e. not using Amy Temp Power) way to get it exists.

Didn't really expect to work anyway way too much time invested in getting it anyway. But for those of us who started it, we will be able to finish it right?

D'oh. Too late.

Actually, he just said that he was making the badge impossible to get until they add some cabal Rogue side. Not that they will.

I still have the question of whether I will be able to complete it though. Saying you are putting in a fix that would make it not possible. Assuming that means you gonna change the alliance of Amy. That being said I only killed one Amy on my toon during a forum announced PVP battle royal. But I now have this badge bar which until a legitimate way is made then no villain can get the badge. Which will mean some of us might have this uncompletable badge bar indefinitely or until Cabal are introduced. Are there any current plans for Cabal coming into play?

Im sure we will have a future way, we always do. or that badge would not even have a bar on the villain side.

But hey, thanks for clearing that up for everyone

Sorry Beef but the badge appearing was and is a fluke. Most that got it probably got it the same way I did. A PVP zone event that someone used an Amy at. I was on a team with 7 or 8. Can't remember the exact number and I remember targeting the witch with my brute and beating her to a pulp. That means all of my teammates got credit for kill to so right then and there 7 people had a unknown badge bar appear. Can't use temp powers in the Arena so the only way would be PVP zone.

That being said those of us that have this badge bar I would either like Cabal to be added which may eventually happen or it be removed if possible. Most of us badge whores will agree that a badge that can not be completed should not have a bar sitting there just teasing us.

I agree with you, because seeing a progress bar you can not complete makes my OCD kick in and my neck starts twitching...lol

But hey, if they do not add it no big deal, but if they do its just another badge on the belt

Im just glad I didnt start farming Amy in the pvp zones only to not get the badge.

The time and effort required for just the person that attempted this would be insane. It would probably take at least a month or 2. Probably longer to even find enough people willing to do so. Which is why after considering it I sent the PM to Positron and then posted this. I knew since he didn't respond to the PM he would respond to this post. And if he responded it would most likely be with a we are not gonna allow this to happen. Therefore being the deciding factor in the OCD aspect of wanting to collect the badge.

I must have skipped the part where this is a bad thing?

Is there something "unfun" about getting a weird badge and showing it to other Villains?

Help me, I'm not getting it...
