basically you want access to content designed for new characters that wasnt in game when you made your character. this is quite similar to the new lv 1 contact matthew burke for villains. he was added quite a while after cov went live and many people were unable to do his missions without rerolling. do you hear people complaining about that? no. because the devs are going to add new content to the game all the time. some is going to be for low levels. if you miss newly added content because you had already outleveled it, thats why we have more than one character slot.
[/ QUOTE ]
I'm sorry but if you are going to reply to me, make sure you know what you are talking about.
If any new content for low level heroes or villains is introduced in the game, you do not have to re roll another toon in order to do the content, that is what the exemplar system is for.
If the low level content offers a badge for doing a certain mission like others do, you can exemplar and still get the badge.
So as you see there is nothing lost, you can still get it.
Its apparent, that you have not read this entire thread but yet you think your uneducated post will clear things up, but it didn't.
We are talking about a badge that pre-i2 players never had the chance to earn as everyone else did.
If you didn't realize that then maybe you should have read the thread entirely before making such a obtuse reply.

Yet there's some incredible bias against allowing people to subsequently pick up Isolator without any real reason put forth. Just curious and scratching my head.
[/ QUOTE ]
What I dislike about it is the ever-present double standard. Those who are calling the loudest for Isolator to be available in the name of "giving badge-hunters what they want" are, in many cases, the same ones who shout down any suggestion that the Halloween badges should be made available to newer players...because, after all, those badges are "special," and should only be available to those players who were clever enough and skilled enough to be playing the game at that time.
[ QUOTE ]
The Flashback System has been canned from what I recall. The Devs have a policy of not really encouraging every character to do EVERYTHING in the game. That's why there are so many different ATs and powersets.
[/ QUOTE ]
Hell, the Dev's came right out and stated that no character was intended to have every single badge. And hopefully, Flashback will stay dead and buried, as it was a bad idea anyways.
spoiled badgers!
I want I want!
I have Isolator! HA HA HA
you have eight badges with your pre-I2 toon I'll NEVER get!
So why are you all complaining?
A) becuase I have a badge you cant get & you just cant stand it!....
Oh god what to do? geez I should make 8 seperate threads on this forum for all those 8 badges I'll NEVER get & start whining like you wouldnt believe, but I wont because I can accept the fact that you oldies have an 8 to 1 advantage over new players!
So what all old players are saying is that its OK for them to have 8 badges over a new player but as soon as a new player as 1 that they cant get, they ape-shiite, like oh god that newb has something I dont ruin it for him!
& all this 'my pre I2 toon NEVER got the chance to get the badge'....
My post-I2 toon NEVER had the chance to get the 8 badges you have, so how is the 8 you have over me & the 1 I have over you fair? & you still cant handle 8 to 1 that you gotta play the spoil sport that cant handle losing just once?
Its pretty simple people I assume that Isololator is MEANT to be JUST for new players that will NEVER get all your old event badges that will NEVER be repeated (some may but some wont, Devs have stated this!)
So the DEVS are saying all you old players get 8 (or more) badges all to yourselfs & those little newbs will never get them so don't worry 
you can brag & hold them over all those little guys that will never get them
& the DEVS are GIVING us newbs at least one little tiny insignificant badge, & you guys cant handle it?
Grow up
(& to save myself from being ripped apart by somebody that still cant handle 8 to 1)
I dont care if Isolator is opened up to everyone AS LONG AS all of your 8 old event badges are attainable to all new players that 'never got the chance' to get those badges!
( & remember "never got the chance' is the SAME arguement you use, & I use it in the same context that you do & have just as much a right to my missed bagdes as you do. & taking away my 1 badge while leaving ya'll with 8 is not only unfiar, but is just plain rude) think about who your effecting!
Ok you all may continue with the I want I want, screw the little guy screw the little guy 
Sorry - turned into a long post...
Your arguement doesnt hold up because there have been badges that have been re-attainable, cold warrior being one of them. And im sure there are another im not thinkin of. And im just as sure that given the amount of time needed to develop the coding for the monsters/badges that eventually theyll all get used again.
So i agree with most of the ppl in this thread, briefly scanned it - - that since we never even got the chance to get isolater, there should be some, albeit insanely hard, way to get it.
Saying re-rolling the toon or just deal with it is a juvenile response that covers the symptom, not the basic fairness of the problem. And whats this "not intended to get every badge" stuff? AFAIK - if thats what makes me play the game, more power to me. Some ppl like to altitis, for some its the roleplay. Me, i badge. Before, i storyarc'd, before they took the soveniers away. Like flashback, i have never understood the reasoning that if you hold out the badge/contact, i will specifically roll a new toon to experience it. No. And niether will most ppl i know. Instead, what will happen is what happened in croatoa - where i owned the zone to get the badges. Seriously i would rather have been able to flashback down and do the contacts myself, since im bascially a solo'r and they would have gotten that much more months out of me. And i have tried to exemplar down to the contact level - didnt work, no missions. But i digress....
ISOLATER! please..
*nerf* Darn! Oh well.. I will just have to rebuild. Ah.. this works *nerf*
Darn it.. well I will rebuild again.. oh this might *nerf*
Grr.. this is getting annoying.. rebuild agai- *nerf*
I wasn't even finished rebuilding the las- *nerf* But.. *nerf* I *nerf* ......*nerf* *nerf* *nerf*

And what about those of us who *DON'T* want Isolator granted outside of the tutorial? We pay the same monthly fee as you do, after all.
[/ QUOTE ]
Setting all the isolator-specific discussion aside for the moment, allow me to plead that everyone be very very careful with this kind of argument. I can understand that some people who get a not-necessarily-unfair advantage from certain rules want to see those rules enforced on everyone. But please don't get too caught up with the idea that paying a monthly fee entitles one to judge over what other players want to do with their monthly fees, especially over relatively trivial things like a simple hunting badge.
It's not an invalid argument, but can become an inflammatory argument if not kept toned down. Perhaps focussing on what you have and want to get for yourself is better (well, more cooperative anyway) than focussing on what other people want that you want denied them.
Maybe a good compromise would be to allow a post-tutorial isolator, but with a slightly-altered name (same badge though). That way, older badge hunters get a fairer chance at a full set, but newer badge hunters still keep a distinction on their badge.
A random thought occurs to me: I'm really glad that the devs took extra thought to avoid attaching isolator to accolades or any value more than as a basic badge. Tensions would escalate pretty fast if, say, isolator gave a gladiator or was a requirement for Eye of the Magus.

The current exemplar system is about 90% of what Flashback was originally intended to be (as per statements by Positron in another thread). Dead and buried. Yup.
As far as being a "bad idea" is concerned, flashbacks are very common in the comic book world. (As I stated just a page or two ago and you just blew off with some weird Hawkman reference.) As such an integral part of the genre on which this game is based, I believe that flashbacks belong in the game. I think that you have the burden of proof to explain why it is such a bad idea to have an important and ubiquitous comic book staple in a comic book inspired game.

You left out the "Hopefully". And as stated, I'm not 100% happy with the Exemplar system itself. (I still wish they would fix it so you couldn't get badges from missions that are not your own)

I didn't "Blow it off". I was pointing out that using "flashbacks" too much can be *bad* for comic book characters. Y'know, like Hawkman, who is considered the poster boy for horrible retconn jobs. Now, admittedly, I could have phrased it better then I did. But I wasn't blowing you off. (Not intentionally, anyways)
As for WHY I don't like the idea for Flashback, I explained it in another thread but I'll explain it again here... I don't like the idea of people being able to do "everything" with one character. You shouldn't be able to get all the badges, see all the storylines, and all that. It damages replayability, and (To me at least) replayability is more important in the long run, especially for CoH/V where Alts are more popular then in, say, Everquest 2.
Now the Exemplar system as it *is*, is acceptable to me. While I *don't* like the fact you can use it collect badges you missed and all that, on the other hand, you also can't see all the storylines like if it was your mission/Story Arc/ect. So, it's something I'm willing to compromise on. (And keep in mind, when I say compromise, I mean I won't [censored] about it).

OK, so then here we come to the crux of the matter. The apparent reason why you are so vocal in all the threads about the Isolator badge. Why you are such a nay-sayer on this issue.
You want to dictate to me (and everyone else) how to play the game.
I personally want my one main character to experience all the content. If he does so (now listen carefully here)
THIS DOES NOT HURT YOU IN ANY WAY! If you dont want one of your characters to do everything, get every badge, etc., then DONT do that with YOUR characters! But it is not your place to dictate what is best for everyone else in the game or how they play it. And don't tell me that I "shouldn't" do something with Zube.
I once lived in a little cul-de-sac. One day one of our neighbors decided to paint his house blue. None of the other houses were blue, and this really upset a little old lady living next door. She made a HUGE pest of herself demanding that our neighbor stop painting his house in this offensive color. When he told her to mind her own business, she went house to house trying to get everyone else to pressure him to stop. Of course, this being a free country (at least it was back then), she had no success.
Now this woman clearly thought that she was the arbiter of what was correct and right in the area. She even had a tiny justification, because she had to look at the blue house every day. But you, sir, do not even have that. My having all the badges, doing all the task forces, experiencing all the content, does NOT affect you in any way! You dont have to look at my badges, and you cannot see my souvenirs. You dont even have any way of knowing how many alts I have, unless I tell you.
If you want replayability, then replay. Your choice. If collecting badges keeps me playing, thats my choice.
Granted, I understand that you are expressing an opinion about the game. I get that. But your opinion has, as its foundation, the idea that you get to decide what is good for other players and/or the game as a whole. And that is completely unreasonable.

I haven't been "dictating" anything. I gave my opinions for why I don't like the idea of Isolator, and then Flashback when asked. (And keep in mind, what you quoted was about why I don't like the idea of *FLASHBACK*. I have already stated other reasons why I am against Isolator). But I gave my opinions. Others gave theirs. I disagreed with most of them. They disagreed with mind. But I am no more "Dictating" how things should be run then they are by making THEIR suggestions.
So, if I'm guilty of dictating things by disagreeing with you, then your just as guilty of trying to dictate things by disagreeing with *me*.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I got all of the mission-related badges from my own missions at the proper level for them. The only badges I would not have been able to get without the exemplar system in place are the ones for the Striga, Croatoa, and first 2 Shadow Shard TFs.

See even you of all people the person that hates me most, agrees with me, So you see allowing people to go back and get badges they missed is a good thing.
[/ QUOTE ]
You're right, I do agree that letting people go back and get badges they couldn't have gotten because that badge didn't exist when they were the proper level to get it is a good thing. The point I've been making, though, is that all the people who were around pre-I2 who don't have Isolator, missed their chance on it purely by choice. You could have a character with Isolator, and all the Halloween badges and Cold Warrior and Celebrant, etc. I do. ewokspy does. You could have, too. You chose not to, because you weren't that into badges at the time, and now that you've decided to be into badges hardcore, you regret your earlier decision.
I especially find this argument offensive coming from you, because I know that if you could have gotten the hospital bug to work and get back into Outbreak, you would have done it, or if you'd gotten enough of the Contaminated that you say show up at random in some of your missions(although the ones in missions don't seem to count for the badge; start a new toon, and count your kills, and I think you'll see that the ones in the mission don't count toward the badge), then I seriously doubt you would be pushing for Isolator to be made available to everyone.
Btw, one of the main things that irritates me about you is the fact that you're perfectly willing to cheat to get badges, and then you have the nuts to complain when you get caught cheating and have your ill-gotten loot taken away. Like when you used a bug in the Arena to get into opposite-faction badge missions, and then whined when they took away the badges.
[ QUOTE ]
You did and so do "MANY MANY " others. So to allow 1 more badge to be able to go back and get it will not ruin the game.

You're right, it won't ruin the game. It will actually only be a minor annoyance to me, and if they do it, I'm not going to stand around complaining about the fact that they did it. I'll just sigh, shake my head, and then pretty much forget about the whole issue. But I don't think they should do it.
[ QUOTE ]
See my point here, its rude to exclude long time members of a badge they never had the chance to get on their main badge collecting hero.
[/ QUOTE ]
And what I've been saying the whole time is that you did have the chance to get it on your main badge collecting hero, and you chose not to. There was nothing but you preventing you from either rerolling your main or making a new toon to be your badge toon.
And if, at some point in the nebulous future, they decide to make a badge that I can't get with Beth for whatever reason, will I be upset? Hell, yes. Actually, I'm already upset that I won't be able to get Jailbird with Beth if I switch her to CoV. But will I be able to live with it? Sure. Because I just straight up didn't have the chance to get that badge without losing others; it's not that I had the chance and didn't take it.
Here's my biggest beef with the whole "I want isolator" thing...
We have a *small* percentage of people - *very* early badge hunters - who want the devs to code, test, and implement a system for them to go back and get... a badge. A badge that, as has been stated, does *nothing* but sit there and look - well, like it's there.
I have yet to hear any of them stick up and say "While we're at it, people should be able to get Celebrant, even though their toons weren't here at the 1 year mark, and get XYZ badge that are also now not obtainable."
Of course, if *any* of that were possible, it'd pretty much take any meaning out of the badges themselves, now, wouldn't it...
I'd be perfectly fine with them being datamined for character creation date and just auto-given, say, a "Mythic" badge for being around pre-badges... of course, I'm sure several would *still* complain they couldn't get isolator... and we'd have newer badgehunters complaining they couldn't get *that* badge.
Me, I'd rather see the time and effort put into new content, or fixing the preexisting bugs.

First off, I didnt cheat to get a badge, I am the one who sent in the bug report letting the devs know how I got the badges, I even had the thought of them taking them away, which they did after a while, probably after a few cry babies like yourself complained
So I was expecting to lose those particular badges, but not once did I whine or cry about them being taken away, I do recall saying they were taken away in a post on another forum, but I did not go on and on about it, I was sort of disappointed about it, but it was expected. So don't accuse me of cheating the game when I found a loophole and even reported it.
Offensive coming from me? Trust me if I get enough bugged missions that had contaminated in it to get me a badge, Im sure it wouldnt have been taken away, and from my bugged missions which I have only had one and I killed 47 contaminated. not enough to award the badge, would it have been taken away, doubtful, would you have carried on and cried about it to be removed from me, highly likely.
Do I care what you think, hell no!
But thanks again for agreeing with me that all pre-i2 heroes should get the chance they never had before

Here's my biggest beef with the whole "I want isolator" thing...
Me, I'd rather see the time and effort put into new content, or fixing the preexisting bugs.

How about the best of both worlds?
We know Isolator in it self is a flop, we have all tried to stop the outbreak ...but it is still there being fed by villains. So our first career move in Pargon city is still ongoing. A plot that goes up to Arachnos himself. Technically, Positron can work this into the badge text and offer another way to get it we all would be happy campers

There are numerous ways to bring the Outbreak back into the story line of the game.
I've seen many many episodes of Super Hero cartoons, and comic books ect..ect.. where the hero thought he had taken care of a villain and or task at hand only for it to sneak up on him later in the future of his or her career.
Yeah, I too agree and want more new content and I feel content is more important then a badge, I'm not demanding that Isolator be given to us ASAP, but it would be nice to see that happen in the future.
I honestly can't want until the dev team adds and fixes many of the bugs with badges all together even the progress bars for the badges, this would be more important then getting a badge I missed, but again it would be nice to know that eventually we will have the opportunity to get this badge for our main badge collectors..

I'm starting to wonder who in this thread has a Grandmother running a Home Owners Association. The genetic verbose is very apparent!

Well, I guess it would be possible to be my grandmother, if the person painting his house blue was living next to a cemetary. But how many Cul-De-Sacs have their very own cemetary?
No
No what?

Granted, I understand that you are expressing an opinion about the game. I get that. But your opinion has, as its foundation, the idea that you get to decide what is good for other players and/or the game as a whole. And that is completely unreasonable.
[/ QUOTE ]
Of course you do realize that you are essentially doing the same thing, just from the other side of the point of view.

Utter nonsense.
Get Isolator on your toons or don't. Paint your house blue or don't. It doesn't affect me. I have not, nor will I EVER say that your particular characters should NEVER be allowed to have this badge, that badge, or some other badge.
You, LiquidX, and a couple of others, however, don't seem to want to extend that same courtesy to me.

Why all you over-OCD, completest folks get so bent about that one silly badge is beyond me. You'd think it would show your characters vintage by every bage BUT the Isolator. I know if I had every badge but that one, it would feel a bit like a badge of Honor to have had a Hero around that long. I wasn't here before that badge so I don't have the distinction of not having access to it. Let it go.

Sure you do! Reroll your toon. And don't kill 100 contaminated. Badge removed. Problem solved.
