Thank you for posting this! It's very helpful.

Also, is vidiotmaps.com up and running again?

[/ QUOTE ]

vidiotmaps.com was never down.
their badge tracking site, however, was. It is now back up, but it is still being updated and still has issues.

Risk Taker is now being awarded to 39+ heroes ... where do you get the missions ? WARBURG !

The contact there will now offer missions to any character able to enter that zone.


CHAMPION!

There's a contact unlocked by getting the 20 Million Infamy badge?!?!??!?
This is a terrible idea. How much time do you need to spend out of SG mode to get this? For 6 missions from this contact, how much Prestige will you cost your SG?

I've played in SG Mode until 40 I may have earned 1.5 million Infamy. Is it even going to be possible for me to get this badge before outleveling the contact? Is it worth trying? Because this will take a long time to test.

Can anyone out there recommend a updated web-site for badge information?

Give CoH Guru a try, their list is up-to-I6-date, and I7 is currently prepared to be added (they already have I7 exploration badges)

[/ QUOTE ]

Their list of badges might be up-to-date, but I just looked at the site. They have quality control issues. They list the Air Pirate badge as the Black Scorpion description: this was a bug, and most people who have the badge know it. They don't have a lot of the ways to get badges, etc...

All in all, I'd say this is -not- a good place for badge information.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's just cause I have to do all thes elists alone, nobody helps me. And I only have time (and want to) play 1 character at a time, so there might be missing informations for CoV.

can someone tell be what exactly you have to do to capture a pillbox and to capture a heavy?

thx


 

Posted

I know to capture a heavy you have to click on the control panel outside the pad when a heavy has spawned on it, brings up the standard interuptable countdown bar. On completion you get a pet window (standard MM controls) and the pet starts following you around. The one time I was able to do it, got a Toxic Tarantula, though I promptly lost it while trying to escape the 30+ heroes trying to gank me.

Pillboxes:
- 1st you have to defeat all 4 Popup Turrets around the pillbox.
- When this is done you have to quickly click the translucent dome on top of the pillbox.
- When you are fast enough, you will gain control of the pillbox and the rocket turrets that will spawn then.

Do Rouge Toxic Tarantulas in warburg count towards the new achivement badge?

I believe not. If you're a villian, they spawn in large quantities in Grandville. If you're a hero, I believe I saw a few of them in RV.

Well that's good. I was worried I would have to farm arachnos missions in order to get the new tarantula unlockable contact.

I just noticed that TF commander, doesn't seem to work in conjunction with Dull Pain. I just got on test, and got booted right away, so I didn't get the chance to see if it actually boosted my HP without Dull Pain, but *with* Dull Pain, I noticed no changes.

Should it not increase both DP's and Recon's Healing factor, as they're both based off of full HP? I might be wrong here, but I was so happy with another HP Accolade -- I almost thought Regen actually got a boost here.

Edit: I also noticed NO increase in my total HP with DP running. With the new Accolade, I should at least see a slight increase in my total HP + DP, even if DP were based off of standard HP, not modified by Accolades.

[/ QUOTE ]

all Heals, hp buffs andaccolade boosts work off your base HP.

i have 1539.4 HP on live and with this extra 5%, i have 1606.3 HP. That's 115% on live as my base, 120% base on test.

On test, my Regen gets to 2400.1 HP. On live, it's 2333.2.


Recon heals 25% of your base(100%) hp value. Accolades do not affect that. DP does not affect that.

DP heals 40% of your base HP and boosts your hp by 40% of the base value. That is not affected by accolades. That's how it's always worked.

Also, there is an HP cap. it's 180% for scrappers and about 172% for tanks.

with all the accolades and a 3heal slotted DP, you get this.

100% +5%(pj) +5%(tfc) +10%(fprm) +59%(dp) = 179%

Tanks will not notice an increase when under DP, scrappers will. But both will see it when DP is down.


Level 50 is a journey, not a destination.

It appears the 'badge' section on Vidiotmaps is no longer available, and Vidiotmaps in and of itself seems to be in a stage of transition as the original owner recently announced he would be unabel to keep updating it

[/ QUOTE ]

You can try the Vidiotmaps forums. We ahve threads listing all badges as they are confirmed on test. We ahve all the coordiantes for explore badges for Grandville, RV, and now 2 Mayhem missions. The forums are right now updated at least once a day. Once the site ownership transfer is complete, we will be updating the badge listings as well.

As you can see, typing is not one of my strong spots...then again, proofreading isn't either. :P

Well the Jailbird badge does not give XP.

That is no wonder, cause you can't gain XP in the Tutorial, other than through following the guides

Okay, so we know that heroes can get the Villain/Reformed badge on Live by being confused in a PVP zone and defeating Longbow...

Will the same logic hold true for the badges for defeating signature heroes in RV?

I'm not sure I want to know the answer to that...

Only 1 way to find out. And will be a doozy of a challenge.

Just a few days after getting Reformed on my Blaster, I saw these new badges and immediately wondered the same thing.

If we do 10% of the damage while confused, would we get the badge if other side brought them down? Do we have to be confused when the signature villain/hero gets put down to get the badge?

We'll definitely have to try this out on Test at some point, when the server population isn't too high (try getting 60 gank-happy heroes to not attack the 3 Plant Dominators helping 8 heroes attacking Synapse!).

Two more badges from mayhem missions: Vandal (for destroying fire hydrants & such) and Outlaw (for defeating Police)

Pictures at vidiotmaps.

I posted this a while ago:

It would say it would be possible ... the problem with that is the regeneration rate of the AVs/Hs in RV, the fact that you need 15-20 people plus heavies beating on them, all those heroes need to be confused constantly, and when confused your targetting reticle changes every power press (unless your target is the only 1 on the screen) ... that is ALOT of work just for 1 badge ... more work than any other badge a hero can get via confusion ... I am sure that someone is gonna try it, but to be honest, it won't happen any time soon ...

Does anyone know if there is a fourth reputation badge?

Hope there isn't...it was months ago that I got my third one and since then my rep's dropped to 0.

Hm....When I was doing mayhem in Talos, I got an explore badge for that zone.

This makes me wonder...is there a seperate zone that you mayhem in for each seperate area that you can get a mission from? Or even if each broker gave you a different area to mayhem in??

Wow..That just gave me a headache, trying to figure out how many people I would have to group with to earn them all. ^_^

Based upon a post by Positron, the badges for defeating signature heros/villains will be open to the other side. There is a simpler way than killing them while confused though. Maybe if you figure that out, you won't consider this impossible
