if they added in the contaminated back in, they're gonna need to change the text for the badge.
Perhaps we'll just throws stones at them then? Fact is Developer people we want the badge. Are we not your customers? Do we not pay you each month for this? Can you please make a way for us to aquire this badge?

While you're at it devs, please let us villains get the jailbird badge in the instanced mission in the Zig. If possible, I almost deleted 4 characters to get it on them (not just lowbie alts either) and only at the last moment decided to save my main (the others got the axe) in the hopes that one day we can get the jailbird badge we missed.

They can, but odds are somewhere between slim and none, of it ever happening.
There are few things more requested then this, and it's even gone as far as Cuppa trying to have it happen. But the dev's have so far held their ground, that the tutoral is the only place to get those badges.
I have the Isolator & VIP badges. I started playing after the 1st anniversery & after the 1st holloween event, so I will NEVER get the Holoween badges, or the Winter Lord badge, or the 1st anniversary badge (& not to mention the gladiator that will come with both anniversary badges)
Now just let me state that I think that the Contaminated should be available outside of the Breakout zone, BUT...
& this is a MAJOR BUT! only if ALL badges are opened up in such a way, so in other words, only if I can get my 'missed' badges, & its not like I didnt know about a badge in a zone you can out lvl its a - I know how to get them & that I should plan to get them, but I simply didnt own the game at the time so no dice!
I was under the assumption that, the Isolator & VIP badges are there for those (like me) that were unable to get the early event badges due to not owning the game at the time, so they could have a few badges that the OLD players (that had the chance to get the badges) did not have...
so I'm new & I have 2 badges that the old player CANT get, & the old player has like 7 badges that the new player can NEVER get.
So its not even an even swap, I find myself torn between wanting to collect all badges, then realizing I'll never be able to attain as many badges as the other guy simply because I'm a newer player! so its not like I oops I didnt plan well & missed that badge, or nobody told me at the time so I missed it, I simply didnt own the game.
Although it sucks for those that missed out on the tutorial badges, I think the likelyhood of the devs adding Contaminated spawns anywhere anytime soon, is about as likely as me ever being able to get a badge for killing Winter Lord.
So just let me say I want my Holloween badges & my Anniversary Badge & my Winterlord badge

Yeah the point is, I did kill a bunch of Contanimated on my head start, was it 50? No..but it was sure a bunch of them. If they reduced the badge req. to say, 10 ..everyone would get Isolator except for those who skipped the tutorial, a fair trade IMHO. I'm sure we will see the Halloween, and Winter badges again since the devs have learned the "timer technology" Us vets didn't get any extra badges ..Like "Xenophobe" or something that ties us to the Rikti invasion and pre badge days. The one year badge is for any toon that logged in that day NOT 1 year of fighting crime.

* Arachnos Loricatus: Soldier, Widow
* Praetoria Loricatus: B-DP/Dev, Cor-Elec/Elec
the differance is that the Isolator badge IS STILL available, you just cant get to it. The halloween, and aniv badges are Gone Gone Gone. Thats why i feel the isolator should be available to toons.

IF we were to ever add a way to get Isolator post-Tutorial, it would most likely be incredibly hard to get. Annoyingly hard. Irritatingly hard. There-would-be-a-zillion-people-asking-to-make-it-easier hard.
But IF we were to add it, it would be available nonetheless.

For some reason this just made me smile Positron. IF it happened, I'd still more than likely give it a go.

I think the Contaminated are in the back of Faultline,that's why they put that wall up. 
thats all we are asking for, I dont want you to just GIVE me it. I would very much like to EARN it. Send me on a 10 Day task force full of Circle o thorns and other nasty stuff... Make me have to fly through a Air mine field with single hit kills. I'd try my hardest till I got the badge and I would enjoy it.

Bring it on!
Im not one to complain, I would be happy to at least have the chance to get it.
Hard or not, its more of a chance then what we have now.
Many of us have been here pre-i1 and we never had the chance to get this as it was not datamined nor could we go back to get the badge. So I and many others would do anything to collect this badge on our main badge collectors.
So you could tell me I had to kill 1000 contaminated monsters that gave no xp, no reaward at all and with brawl I wouldn't care, I would do it

At the very least, Jailbird should be available to Villains. I've been on the return trip mission to the Zig with my main (created 10/29) who didnt get the badge because I didnt know about it. I did ask some people if there was an "Isolator" style badge, and was told no but nothing else. I went to Cell 15 in the return missions, and no go. My question is; why? If it's an Exploration badge connected with that specific location; well, I explored it. I think it should be available there. My 2 cents. BUT PRETTY PLEASE! Just begging. Thanks, Pos.

exactly I would defeat 1000 warhulks using only Brawl if I had to. At least we would have a chance. And A chance is all we ask for. Thank you.

You know that you can emphasize "IF" to the best of your ability and the "Positron said we can get Isolator!" thread is still going to show up.
Positron, I've just come from a thread where a hero player is 150 longbow (out of 1000) from getting his Reformed badge. He did this by having villains confuse his hero so he could attack Longbow. I know that other players have already done this (and other things like it) to feed their badge habit.
So I ask you, in the name of helping these people with their sickness, that you make the Isolator badge something that is easy to get at lvl 50. If you make it nigh-impossible to get, all you will be doing is making these badge junkies dance like puppets to your idle whims.
So, again, please make Isolator something that is easy to get at lvl 50. Stop the horror and degredation that comes from being a badge junkie. You can do it. It will help you sleep easier at night and the forums will love you for it.
... until the next patch.
:-)

ok positron can i make a deal with you. can you guys give us a way to get the badge ouside of tutorial and make it extremely difficult and irritating to be able to get and afterwards you guys can ignore our request to be made easier
intead of ignoring to give the badge altogether that would be cooler wed adleast have a chance even if its once in a blue moon of getting it.
--i should have trusted my instincts and just stuck around killing things when i first made my first char
*settles in with popcorn and a soda and waits for LiquidX to find this one*
I don't care if it's hard. It just doesn't quite seem fair for longstanding characters to be forever denied Isolator just because they predated badges. Every single other badge, an old character can go back and get (or was around to obtain, like the Halloween badges), save Isolator.
There's people out in Siren's Call, spending hours getting Reformed on their heroes, and villains resetting the 'Destroy Hero Statues' fifty times to get Weatherman. Hard and tedious aren't going to deter anyone. Just as long as it's not hard, tedious, AND for a limited time only. Then things could get kind of ugly as people fight over limited spawns and the drama starts flying.
...Anybody else getting the feeling that Positron and co. are more than a little amused at the lengths people go to for these silly useless badges?

Well, technically some people ARE asking it just be given to them.
...But then, I'm just splitting hairs, there.
I know you guys are tired of hearing this, but is there anyway you guys can add infected so people that missed isolator can get the badge? Just add a spawn point in warburg or something! Make them lvl 52 bosses! We dont care! Last night, Tuesday March 7, a rumor started that there was a server glitch... if you died in the hollows you could go back to outbreak. Yes ridiculous, I know, but within a few hours there were people everywhere! They had come for the badge, even I went to see. Alas... No badge. Does this not say it all? We would like an opportunity to earn this badge, no matter what retarded and ridiculous tasks we would have to perform (I.e: 500 eminators, 100 mil inf). Thank you for your consideration of this.
