Yes... but only after I get my last Damage Taken badge, ok?

That would make 3 of us already, 4 if I use wifey's acct for filling.



With Carnada's valuable feedback, we figured out these little details:

<ul type="square">[*]Fastest method is to have the player advancing for the badger to defeat his/her matched opponent while all others exit their own matches.[*]Some matches will pull in a 3rd participant during the second round. Proceed as usual. One will likely be kicked out automatically. [*]Sometimes the one supposed to advance will not. We thought staying in the arena until the timer expired (after defeating the opponent) helped, but then later on it happened again despite this. Leaving before the defeated opponent did not change this outcome. No clue what is happening there.[*]We saw a match where the badger advanced through all 3 levels... facing the same opponent each time. Badge was awarded nonetheless.[/list]

Thanks to everyone who came out tonight!

And if you didn't find room on a team, then try it again Friday night and then Saturday.

I should be out with my son's toon Friday myself.

I did some reading up on Swiss Draw tournaments... and after participating in it with Carnada, Syanth, and Sooner, etc. I can honestly tell you that this is NOT a Swiss Draw.

I think it was Syanth (who completed his runs with our gang later on) who said something along the lines of "This definitely proves the Swiss are NOT neutral."

...or it may have been Knowmad.

It was late.

Are there any plans in the works to get the Pentad/Septad badges?

I noticed that the hero badge seems to be easy to get, but the dark side seems to be a "bit" more difficult.

Is that the one that is currently bugged on villain side?

You could try to start a Pentad with another villain (same AT) and test if that works, like I suggested in the tip in my first post. Only need 2 players to start the match then.

Unless you have a Kheldian. Then you're screwed as that is officially bugged and will not award.

Cause a Kheld isn't part of a Pentad!

That should have read Septad - and the badge is granted for a win in either set up, unless you're a Kheldian, as I wanted to say.

...

Hope everything's nice and confusing now.

I just scouted Pocket D and there is no one around.

If things start picking up for this send me a tell.

My son wanted this badge on his character.

On second thought - nvm.

I won't be available after all.

I'll try again tomorrow in the morning.

Did some research on it yesterday. We tried several variations of teams and matches. None of them yielded the villain side pentad badge.

I iz sad.

I filed a bug report and was informed that 9 of 14 archtypes (all villains, hero epics) cannot obtain this badge. No word on when or if this will be fixed.

Well, that explains it.
