First the release of CO now this, are they trying to kill their game? 
The badge for Banished Pantheon Masks and Carni Illusionist think in 4 years managed to get the Masks on 1 alt i think and the carni one on none. So if i knew the name it would be wow.

Personally for me, 'City Traveler' - even though it's the U.S. spelling of the word 'Traveller'
For someone to have 5 years in any one game nowadays is something to be admired. (and no, that wasn't an attempt to blow my own trumpet).
I often get a lot of 'Wow's' when people see i've got 60 months under my belt.

BP masks is actually quite easy, either in Fog Astoria or the corner of Talos near it - just get on a team of two or three people and find a decent route around - It took me about a week of very casual play to get it, once I decided to.
The Illusionist badge, on the other hand... is a nightmare. Sure, there are missions that can be used to farm for it, but the casual player might not want to bother with that. Again, get on a team to increase the likelihood of boss spawns in-zone and trawl around the middle region of PI. A tank is useful, because they can help herd a group of Master Illusionists together for a team to have a go at. And be patient.
The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise.
; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise 
; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.* Master of Statesman's Task Force, definitely... I've earned it 3 times, and since March I'm trying to get it for 4th time.

Since i13
Most WOW - Disruptor.
Consciousness: that annoying time between naps.
MOSTF and MORSF without a shadow of a doubt. I see them as a sign of a good player (or extremely lucky)
Life is one big practical joke that we as the human race have yet to see the punchline to. Once you work that out the rest is easy.
I always liked Just Said No To Superadine.
To date my character Buck the Troll is the only one i've seen with it

Illusionist can be gotten in one evening - find a low level Master Illusionist - like on the boats at the PI docks, then brawl her for a few hours

Never got that part with illusions or BP... I hardly play heroes, but there's plenty of easy ways to get them as long as you get a team together.
Had a carnie mish that I kept until lvl 50, and got some people easily to grind it, then they asked if they could be replaced by some others. It ended with my alt stuck in the mission for 8 hours while people kept inviting new people grinding the badge over and over again.
Apparently at least 60 ppl/alts got that badge that day and at least I got to work a tiny bit on my healer badge. Shortly thereafter I just stopped caring about my hero alts all together! Didn't even bother to IO/Set up my 50s.
Since then I've only made one hero, a fire/rad troller and apparently those two badges are still as easy to get.
So really, the last inf badge and possibly the last vet badge is impressive, but in a slightly sad way. The rest are just sad in a sad way and I personally sort of regret sacrificing all that time, inf and electricity (= real money) to get all those redside badges.

I have celebrant on my main. And I think on an alt or two.
Pre-Ouroboros "Isolator" on toons that missed it in the tutorial ( got a few wow's when I mentioned I got it through RV on sals )
Zookeeper when it was 10,000 Rikti Monkeys was pretty good too!
For me though, I wear the "somewhere in time" badge as it fits my main characters backstory, but I tend to look for a range of badges on people I'm teaming with, make sure they arent all MA badges etc

Only one badge makes me go "Wow" and that's the Field Crafter accolade. You need to have memorized a TON of recipes to learn it, which involves crafting dozens of different invention origin enhancements at all kinds of level ranges. I'm (slowly) working towards this lofty achievement. The novelty of having a mobile crafting station might be useful on occasion, but just having achieved this goal would make me feel like a billion influence
Characters:
The Heroic Mary Grace (50)
The Mystical Thunderspark (50)
The Candy-loving Little Jenny (50)
Any of the Shadow Shard task force badges makes me usually go 'oooooo nice one'... but that is because I've never had the patience for them
The Fusion Generator plans badge... 750 PvP kills? ouch!

Apart from that I think it's the veteran's, general high badge count, the rikti stuff accolade, some of the event badges (gold medal ski races takes some skill and a bunch of kins), but really...
[/ QUOTE ]
Actually, the main ski slope only requires certain travel powers... Here's a quick video of me showing a friend how to do it with Superjump, and even though I screw up two gates I still get gold
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=e...db6fb9a8902bda
I think my fastest time was about 17 seconds unbuffed... The second ski slope I couldn't get gold on though without buffs (miss it by about a second as I recall)
Regarding Celebrant, I have that on Bov, but alas not the 2nd and 4th event badges, as I keep taking long breaks from the game. The ones that impress me then are the PvP and Epic badges (never had the patience to farm for them) and the Bughunter/Cathedral of Pain badges, as you need to have been insanely lucky to have had a chance at them.
'Medic' on a Storm/ /Storm toon who isn't also using the Medicine pool.
Or a Rad/ /Rad for that matter.
And not because I think it's silly, but it takes some serious healing to get the first badge. And there are so few Fire blasters around these days
