Correct, no counter for it. I scored it on my Defender (no PvP 
) almost entirely in RV, but I'm afraid that was before the PvP changes. Good luck!

Hi Guys,
thanks for info. I am aware of the "No Progress Bar" situation with all the Glad badges but most (subjective) are associated with the awarding of another badge, be it a defeat or accolade or whatever.
The associated badge usually has a counter and so it also indirectly gives an indication of progress for it's Glad badge.
I was just checking if I had overlooked any associations for this particular badge.
So I guess it is "Patience Grasshopper" mode in RV till it dings
Thanks again and yes, I do wish all badges had a progress indicator!

Yep.. good times. It still didn't help with gladiators of course, but I just farmed the first mission of the STF for the Toxics and Guardians until I got it. It went by fairly quickly.
You can always do Arachnos Radio missions in PI, or Bloody Bay missions, especially if teamed. Or, if you can handle it, use the new I16 feature when it comes out and act like you're teamed setting rep to the appropriate level and doing those missions.

Toxics I finished up with multiple Khan TF runs and a single radio mission. I still endorse the reduction to 50 from 200.

The only nerdrage I think would happen would be why the heck the gladiator badges were not given progress bars in the first place. I blame Statesman and the original Lord Recluse (the developers, not the npcs). I am still somewhat annoyed with Positron for leaving them without progress bars with the lame excuse that "They are not really badges, but only use the badge system."|

Yeah, and they also said Empath would never be changed, and other things along those lines. I don't put a lot of faith in statements about badges never or most likely never being changed anymore.
But there are quite a few people who are nerdrage quitting over the new badge changes coming with I16. They make me LOL, just like any nerdrage quitter.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
They really need a /nerdrage_quit command in the game that deletes all your characters, deactivates your credit card on your CoH account and uninstalls the game. That way, all the so-called "nerdrage quitters" could "put their money where their mouth is" rather than spending weeks raising a useless hue and cry on the boards.
Where to find me after the end:

Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.

Make it so the devs can customize it based on the most recent patches. Do NOT include a "fill in your reason" field, so the RMT spammers can't use it.
Whenever someone uses the command, it sends a global /tell to EVERYONE with their global and reason, so that everyone knows who and why. And since it's a global tell, it's delivered at login to anyone who wasn't online when it happened!
Oh, and the account should be permabanned if this command is used, so it can't be reactivated, and of course it shouldn't work for trials.

But I will admit that like most things I believe the Devs overreacted in this situation.
There were several top epic badges that were set too high years ago.
Those several top epic badges should have been lowered years ago.
It's good that those badges are finally getting addressed after years of making the case for them here in the forums.
Better late than never I guess.
But I16 is going to neuter several dozen other badges that are very arguably -not- broken. I've had these badges on my badging characters for years so it doesn't directly affect me, but it does sadden me to think this game is heading a bit too far into carebear triviality as far as this activity is concerned. Hopefully Going Rogue will give us some serious end-game content to replace the challenge of badging that's apparently been deemed "too hard" for us to enjoy.

While I'm rooting for more end-game content as well, I feel the opposite of the "carebear" statement. As an altaholic, there are a lot of badges that I'd like to get across multiple characters. By reducing the requirements for some of them, it helps me in my mass collecting. This game has so much to do, so anything that helps me not feel stuck doing something tedious like "fight 200 of X that you can only find in about 3 missions and they're not even clumped together in the same spawn" is great news to me.|

Granted, this is simply my opinion, and other altaholics may feel differently.

I wouldn't mind badge collecting on every toon if it wasn't for all the Ouroboros and Invention badges. I think many will agree that's when people started to leave behind most of their secondary collectors. lol

Oh my gosh, the Oroborus badges. I think I finally have a toon that I feel comfortable taking through to try and get some (my Ill/Rad).
I was trying to find a thread that gave tips on what missions are better (read:easier) to run to get some of the more difficult badges, like the 30 minute time limit at higher levels, but I haven't been able to find one yet. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi Guys,
am I correct in saying that there is no way for a blueside toon to check how many defeats they have towards getting this badge?
I am camping out in RV as I toil away, but as a non PvPer feel a bit of an intruder.
Just making sure I have not missed out on progress checking somewhere.
Thanks
