Dimensional Warder

By

One of the more troublesome badges for people to get is the Dimensional Warder
badge. An important badge because it is a part of the Portal Jockey Accolade,
which gives a 5% bonus to health.

Here are some of the frequently asked questions for it:

Do
arch villains (that have a badge linked to them) that spawn as elite bosses
count towards the badge?

Yes, according to Positron Elite Boss versions of Arch Villains
count the for the badge. According to him there is no way to do this any
differently.

Is there a level restriction on Dimensional Warder?

There is no level restriction provided you could find someone who
is doing the missions out of flashback mode. Tina Macintyre is level 40-45, and
Maria Jenkins is 45-50, but you can sidekick up with friends and others to get
in on the arch-villains pummeling. Tina also has the Multi-Dimensional badge
mission twice. For those flashing back, you cannot take anyone lower than the
lowest level of the arcs (Tina level 40, Maria level 45).

How come I can't get the "A Hero's Hero Arc?"

You have other contacts with open arcs. With Issue 8, there was an
addition to the contact list: the book icons. Open your contact list, and look
for the yellow/golden books. You can only have two of these type of arcs open
at once. Do missions from one of those contacts until the story arc completes.
Yes, the villains in those missions will most likely be much lower than you
are. When you finish an arc, call Maria. You should get missions from her
again.

You can also flashback to the arc.

How do I find Anti-Matter for the Dimensional Warder badge?

Anti-Matter is in several missions from Tina Macintyre, including
her story arc. Note: Make sure it isn't the Anti-matter that teleports away,
because that one doesn't count (self-defeats).

The best mission is the very last in the The Praetorian War story
arc:

You can flashback to this arc as well.

This mission also has Anti-Matter (Upsilon Beta 9-6):

This mission is not available through the flashback system, as it
is not a badge mission.

I've defeated all the arch villains in Maria's arc including
Tyrant, why do I not have the Dimensional Warder badge?

[*]Tyrant isn't needed.[*]Anti-Matter from Tina Macintyre is needed, but he does not show up in any of Maria's missions. The mission at the end of the arc or the Upsilon Beta 9-6 missions will give the correct Anti-Matter. The one in the middle of the arc teleports away at the last second, and does not count towards the badge.[*]There are some reports that with Marauder and Bobcat that do not count for the duration when their god mode power is active.[*]Make sure you've defeated Black Swan. You do not have to fight her to complete the mission she is in.[/list]

What arch villains do I need to defeat for the Dimensional Warder
badge?




Only thirteen of the sixteen Praetorians are needed. They are:
Anti-Matter, Chimera, Nightstar, Siege, Bobcat, Neuron, Battle Maiden, Black
Swan, Malaise, Infernal, Diabolique, Dominatrix, and Marauder. 99% of the time,
people are missing Anti-Matter. See above on how to find the "right"
Anti-Matter missions.




Do I need to defeat the arch villains in order to get the
Dimensional Warder?




No, any order will do, though Anti-Matter is in the 40-45
missions.




Do you have to complete the Praetorian missions, or just defeat the
Praetorians themselves for the Dimensional Warder badge?




No, you have to defeat the arch villains, not the mission, to get
credit.




Is there a way to track your progress on the Dimensional Warder?




The Dimensional Warder will have a progress bar. Of course, it
will not tell you which ones, so a pen and paper might be useful still. Others
use the bio information section of the ID screen to record which defeats they
have done. I have made the following for tracking your progress for the
Dimensional Warder badge:

and White Checklist




What are the remaining badges for the Accolade and how do I get
them?




The remaining badges needed for the Portal Jockey Accolade are:




Scholastic
history badge. The plaques can be found in Founders Falls at the coordinates
1725, -8, 2400, and in Brickstown at the coordinates -229, 8, -370 and -3463,
4, 2062.




Multidimensional and Shrouded exploration badges. These are for
being on specific mission maps.




Both Tina Macintyre (twice) and Unai Kemen give the mission for
the Multidimensional.




Maria Jenkins gives the Shrouded mission. There are several
others, but given the badge text, there is only one mission that should.

Who is your base designer and who are your supergroup leaders?

Deadly Nightshade is the base leader and base designer, however
the park was co-created with Green Bear and the club was made by Branche

have you invested so far?

I'm in there everyday, however I think i only make lasting changes
about once a week.

What is your favorite base item? Least favorite?

My favorite is the Auto-Doc. He's a lifesaver in difficult
situations. My least favorite is the Fusion Generator. The thing's too *&$#
expensive!

What is your favorite thing about base editing? Least favorite?

My favorite is using pieces in unconventional ways to make a room
work. My least favorite is the storage device limit and the work table limit
(let's increase those limits, devs!).

What is the highest thing on your wish-list for new base items?

Water and music (yow! That's two)

If you could give just one piece of advice to a new base editor,
what would it be?

Check the official CoH base builders forum. The people there are
really friendly and helpful! You can also find a lot of inspiration by browsing
the builders' screenshots.

What got you started collecting art?

I think it seeing what the art people were having done over on MMOART.com was
what first got me thinking about it. However, I wasn't willing to shell out
that kind of money for something I wasn't sure I would enjoy. So I waited for a
while until Battlewraith made a thread saying he was starting to take
commissions and his prices were quite reasonable for the quality of his work. I
commissioned him, and the work he did for me simply blew me away in the end,
but it was the experience of communicating with the artist throughout the
process that gave me the greatest pleasure. After that I was sure I was going
to enjoy future commissions, so I became less restrictive on my spending.

What was the first piece of art you had done of one of your
characters?

Turbo-Ski by Battlewraith

How many works of art are in your collection?

A total of 112. Seventy-two of it being free art I received, and forty of it
being commissioned pieces. Eighty-six of those feature Turbo-Ski, and the rest
feature one or more of my other characters.

What are a few of your favorite pieces in your gallery?

It's really so hard to narrow it down to just a few choices:

Sarix Morrison by John Becaro

Heartless by Graver13

Turbo-Ski vs. Kichi by Liz Chesterman

Project Reaver by Hugohugo

Sarix Morrison by LadyJudgement

Sarix / Rebecca by Toxic_SHIA

Lil Turbo-Ski by Imagesbyalex

Are there any artists that you would like a piece from?

I would really like to put down someone here, but I'm usually
nowadays looking to see if their style fits the idea and mood I had in mind. I
would probably like to commission someone in the future to do a plushie or
sculpture, just for a change of pace.

When you're looking for an artist, do you have a concept in mind
for what you want for the picture?

When I first started out collecting, I didn't have any clue what I
wanted in a piece. It wasn't until I started writing down my ideas into a
spiral notebook that I started picking artists based around the idea I wanted
for the piece. I also will commission friends in the community if they really
need the money as well.

Are there any galleries that you browse looking for new artists?

I mostly just use my DeviantArt watch list and these forums to find artists. It
seems to have worked out well for me in the past, and I haven't seen much need
to change that.

Any advice for beginning art collectors?

Don't rush hastily into getting a commission done of your
character (unless it's cheap!), take some time to think some of the things
you'll want in the piece. What kind of mood do you want to set? What will the
character(s) be doing? Is there anything special about your character you want
the artist to pay attention to?

Also make sure you can set aside the money for a commission. Too
often I see artists getting mad because people are not paying them the full
amount after the piece is completed. I would also recommend your first piece be
moderately priced ($50-$100 total) to see if you like collecting art. If you
end up not liking the process, at least you got a decent quality piece to
remember your character by.

What does your art collection mean to you?

I really consider it collection of love towards my characters both
from me and various artists who thought it was worth their time to draw fanart
of them. It's really a special feeling when people gather around to praise your
work or your character. It's also interesting to see how various artists may
view your character in different ways than you thought possible.
