also i killed baphomet as an AV a few days ago (with team) and didnt get badge, i petitioned and the gm's still haven't given it to me

You don't get a badge for each signature hero defeated. Considering I now have a progress bar, I'm guessing that its similar to Dimensional Warder in that you only get the badge once you have defeated ALL of the signature heros. I doubt Black Scorpion is meant to award a badge, as you already got one from doing his previous arc.
The exception to individual badges is, of course, beating the main heros and villains that spawn as reinforcements in Recluse's Victory. Those appear to be separate from the count for Freedom Phalanx heros defeated in missions.

That's just it - if I defeat Back Alley Brawler, and Back Alley Brawler has a badge for defeating him, logically it follows that I should get it. I don't, because there's an additional requirement (that it's the RV version), but this caveat's not listed anywhere in the game. It's a needless restriction.

Yes - you can theoretically get Capbuster, but it's a long grind to it due to most redcaps not counting toward it. It'd have been really nice to be able to finish the badge before they take away the option.

Debt for an Accolade? oh yeah, that hurts. paying off debt isn't much of an achievement. It's not something you can specifically work at - it's just a byproduct of whatever you're doing at your time. This is not the same as hunting a specific group or doing a particular mission. You may as well make the levle 40 badge (whatever it's called) a requirement - and that would be a pretty lame requirement, IMHO.

That is why we should impliment these and tie an acolade to not getting them by a certain lvl:

new badge tree: track team wipes
lvl 1- Rez plz.................."Bad things happen to good people..."
lvl 2- Lol, my bad!..........."Pulling is an art not a science and you have trouble drawing straws.."
lvl 3- BioHazard..............."The Surgeon General has declared close proximity to you to be a health hazard."
lvl 4- Deadhead..............."Lately it occurs to you, what a long strange trip it's been."
lvl 5- On a Pale Horse......."Now I am become Death, destroyer of worlds..."
I'm having trouble deciding on the numbers though...
The first should be one that everyone has but not right away. Say 3? 5 maybe?
The second should be easy but avoidable if you are really cautious..say 10? maybe 15 over the course of 50 levels?
The rest should make it obvious that you are trying to get them (or just that bad =P )
...and maybe require a team of at least 4 to count...hmmm... this sounds really fun!

No matter what i do none of the family boss's i kill are counting towrd my gangbuster badge? any ideas? Spent the last 4 days getting my 4 debt badges on my EA but i cant get this badge. i killed around 100 of them today and its still showing it bieng at like 1/10 done. It aint moved at all since i started killing them.. 
You ARE killing Family bosses with "Marcone" in their name, right? 
Indeed.. Not a single one has counted and i been at it most the day.. lol Tried in Po,Shark,Nerva,St.. Getting no ware fast.. lol
Go to Marconeville in Port Oakes, and kill the enemies named "Mook Capo". 100 (or is it 200?) will get you the Gangbuster Badge.
Seriously, I spent days asking around concerning what on Earth "Marcone Bosses" were, since in truth there are none. There are Underbosses, Consiglieres, and Capos, but no such thing as a "Mook/Marcone Boss".
Here "boss" refers to enemy rank, as shown in your targetting window (as in minion/lieutenant/boss/Elite Boss/Hero/AV".
If you want the other gangster badge (Untouchable), go kill Underbosses and Consiglieres in at the Docks in south Nerva.

Tee Hee!
It was 200. Just finaly got it. Still not getting HPT on test with everything listed here.
High Pain Threshold -
Deathless (4th debt)
Locked & Loaded (exploration)
Gangbuster (kill Marcones)
Technofreak (history)
There is surely something else needed.
jesus i cant find any mook capos in port right now, just spent over 5 minutes wandering around marconeville and villa monstrose
btw i heard with this badge you unlock the slot machine contact but outlevel him by 35, is that true? is his arc worth getting? my main badge collector is lv 40 now
you don't want Mook Capos. you want Marcone Capos. and Marcone Consiglieri. and you may see a boss-level Marcone Underboss here and there, but I think they're only in missions at much higher levels.

The number of bosses in the open has to do with the number of players in the area.
Yes, it is true that Slot Machine is a 30-35 contact. The arc is great, but there's no badge mission in it, just the badge needed to unlock access. Your L40 won't be able to do the arc.
PS, none of this relates to issue 7, since this is a working badge on Live for months, unless Issue 7 broke it somehow.

I really hope the TV doesn't give a mission that awards another badge.
[/ QUOTE ]
According to the forums over at vidiotmaps.com, the TV gives the badge: Media Junkie - Destroy Books - Lvl 45-50 - Contact: TV - Zone: Grandville
Oh and it gets better. Apparantly this badge is required for the immobilize pistol, the villain version of the Crey pistol.
I think it is absurd to make people choose between loyalty to their SG (staying in SG mode and earning prestige) or getting an accolade power (earning the inf badge to unlock the TV). Surely a different badge could be used to unlock the TV if its badge is necessary for an accolade?

Or make it so you can earn influence/infamy past lvl 25-35, sry I forgot the cap lvl for it, or make personal presitge badges to make it worth it or make it so prestige goes towards the money badges or cut reduce all the requirements for the moneys to 1/3rd.

So I guess that means someone unlocked this accolade when they got that badge.
I have to ask... is it really just Immobilize? Cause the Hero one does a Hold.
Futhermore, the Hero one is completed with a level 35-40 mission, the absolute minimum being at level 33 because of the badge in Eden. Why do villains have to wait for level 45+ for that mission for the similar power? why not change the Accolade requirement from Media Junkie to Skip Tracer to be more in line with what Heroes get?
(course, the TV unlocking mechanism still has to change, too.)
this looks like 4 of the original 6 Hero accolades for Villains. I still wonder if there are Atlas and Portal counterparts that we're not unlocking because certain badges are bugged.

This has already had an impact. I made a comment in SG chat about starting to save up Prestige to buy all the new stuff releasing in I7, and someone responded by saying they were not in SG Mode anymore because they want to be sure to do the TV's missions.
A number of villains are already running after Gangbuster in preparation for the accolade, so this isn't too surprising.
but it really sucks.
It is already difficult as a leader of an SG getting members to stay in SG mode, as not earning inf makes obtaining enhancements harder. To a degree, we've been able to address this by handing out inf as needed to members that are staying in SG mode but struggling with enhancements.
The situation with the TV makes it even more difficult. We can't give out badges to our members as an incentive to stay in SG mode and help earn prestige for the base. I'm sure a lot of (even dedicated) members would be very upset at giving up an accolade for the good of the SG, and there is no real way to compensate them for this. Of course, the base that is built by the prestige everyone earns is a benefit for all the SG members, but that is a lot less immediate and direct compensation than "You're having trouble with enhancements because of SG mode, here is some inf to buy enhancements."
It is already hard enough to manage this situation. Please don't make it even harder for SG leaders and members.
I think the best way to solve the infamy/influance vs. SG/VG prestiege or whatever passes for it in CoV, would be when you are in SG mode what you earn for your group counts tward your badge then everything works out the same way it has been.
altho i think earning a badge for debt should be a bad thing, sure deaths are sometimes unavoidable and yes you die alot more due to bad team members then solo. but anyway you look at it, its something to avoid. and yes, i have toons who have yet to die, kind of what i strive for. most of them have never grouped.
even in comic books where people come back from the dead all the time, it's still generaly best avoided.
for that mater, the last thing it should be called is debtless, indebted is more like it =)

You earn far less Prestige than Infamy. Just looking at the SG I'm in, 40's have at most 800k, and they've been playing in SG Mode the whole time. You'll never hit 20 million Prestige on a single character.
You could scale this by level when counting for the badge. eg, a 2-prestige kill at leve 40 gives 80 credit on the badge, at level 41 it gives 82 credit, etc. But in the end, the scaling has to be on par with the Infamy you would have earned, so just track Infamy before taxing it.
they changed Tarixus to a different badge - and a badge that's trivially easy to acquire. Why is this one such a bad design? I'd love for a Dev to post here and justify this design choice.
well i didn't mean 1 for 1 exactly, but i am sure they have a covertion for it to get the prestige that you do get, so they could just give you the credit for the badge for what you should have gotten in inf. had you not been in SG mode.
point is they should give credit for what you gave up for the good of the group. If i earn $10 and then pay it in dues to a union for example you can bet your @$$ i'm still gonna get taxed on it, same principal, you may havent givin it up but by joe, you earned it, lol

i think the weird thing with the debt badges is that it's so much easier to get them at high levels, because you get a ton of debt at that point
btw for gangbuster it's just the marcone capos in port that count towards it, i got it yesterday on a character (took a while!)

Let's start off by haphazard badge awarding again. The long-overdue "defeat signature heroes" badges are finally in, but despite the fact that my villainous main has offed Back Alley Brawler and Black Scorpion, I've received the badges for neither of them. Apparently, they only count if they happen in an alternate timestream, despite no mention of that requirement anywhere in-game. This is especially aggrivating, since people will need to have confusion on them repeatedly to take out "their" side's characters for these badges.
