I imagine there will be at least one for each of the new task forces. Beyond that, I doubt it.

I heard they finally added the arena badges and an accolade for them. Took them long enough, I wonder bs excuse they have for not releasing like they were supposed to for i4.

Yes, there are at least 16 arena badges this issue, including one accolade:

Individual PVP badges
Accolade

There may also be a badge called "Contender" but I haven't found what would earn it. The Accolade is awarded by earning the five Victor badges shown in the first link.

Contender got removed, instead all we get is Bum.

One of the major "features" of Issue 16 will be the removal of Arena badges introduced in Issue 15, since they encourage arena match swapping.

Well, I wasn't going to say it, but yeah.

Wasn't meant to show off anything, just to indicate the position on the list.

[/ QUOTE ]

That actually came out snarkier than intended. If I had Bug Hunter, I'd take out billboards, so it wasn't a character judgment at all.

Obivous deserved joke at the Devs' expense aside it appears that all of these lingering Arena badges have been redesigned in a "first time you win X type match" variety. At least people who are going to farm these will have them done almost instantly. *shrugs*

I suppose this is in keeping with the Devs' new badge vision of less "grindiness". While that might be nice on some level it makes me wonder if we're ever going to get a new non-trivial badge in this brave new world...

I gotta ask, is there any associated bonus on the pvp accolade, if it exists?

Oh come on, it adds so much more to pvp when everyone and their sister can do one match and be done, and will definitely resurrect pvp just like PVP IOs and i13 did.

And theres absolutely no way that this encourages win trading because certain archetypes are absolutely useless in pvp as it currently works.

*cough*

who said anything about "trading" wins?
I'm going to fight. With my Energy/Stone brute. It will be nice to use him again with his "improved" Energy Transfer, he's had no purpose in life since that fix.
The fact that it will be a team match and I ended up with no teammates doesn't mean I'm exploiting the arena system at all, nor is your whole team of 8 winners exploiting anything by beating him up in his moment of loneliness and mis-placed bravado.

I only see 15 new badges, plus the accolade.

[/ QUOTE ] LoL.

"15 plus the accolade" is the same thing as "16 including one accolade"

I agree having Justiciar in the screenshot is a little odd, but it was probably just shown for badge positioning, and obviously wasn't intended to mean it was new.

15 badges + one accolade =16.

I'm sure Justicar is only shown in that list to indicate where the new badges appear in game.
