Ironman/Damage Badges!

So I am trying to get the Born in Battle accolade and from what I heard, its messed up. However, I am still trying to get the badge. I have pretty much everything I need to complete it but the Ironman badge. The reason I dont have the Ironman badge is because the game is very selective of what damage I take in that it wants to add towards my badge. I can honestly say that I have earned this badge 3 or 4 times over but am still stuck >30,000 dmage points away. I want my badges.

I guess what I am asking is when will this be fixed? Has anyone found a way to collect damage? Are the dev's going to try and fix this error? When can I finally earn my badge?

Any comments on how to overcome this glitch/error would be apprecated.

Thanks for the help!

This may seem like a stupid question, but:
Are you trying to get it while in an AE mission?
You can't earn progress on that badge from there.

Other than that, we are well aware that hp bonuses under certain circumstances do affect progress toward this badge, but the badges are certainly still earnable... it's just slower than we feel it should be.

As far as common methods to farm the badge:
Usually people find a favorite enemy or two and sit in Rest for hours while they just beat on you with your reduced defenses. In Rest, you'll also have increased Regeneration (especially if you slot Heal into Rest), so you should heal back to 100% before the enemy's powers recharge and they attack you again.

would self-infliction count? Like flying up into the air and falling over and over?

No I am not in AE...lol I know better than that. But I tried the trick where u go in rest and let someone hit you, and that doesn't add damage points to my badge. I also would clear paper missions and check my damage badge before and after and it wont move at all.

I can confirm that the game is not registering damage correctly. I'm trying to get the badge on my ss/wp brute and was wondering how I didn't have it after being 50 for quite some time (especially after doing a barricuda tf and not having the progress percentage move...), so I checked it out and sure enough, I was clearly taking damage and none of it was registering for the badge. After experimentation, I noticed that the damage was only registering after my health dropped below (appx) half.

Cool thanks guys, that seemed to work out.

i go to RWZ and have 2-53 or 54 minion rikti swing the huge sword at my tank in rest mode..seems to work well and bypass the HP buff badge problem.

Until some nimrod decides to kill you. (By dragging a dozen enemies over to you, since it's not a PvP zone.)

And I would high-five him for it, honestly, were it not for said hit points bonus bug.
(given that the victim is farming afk, but otherwise such a 'rude' kill cant happen anyway)

Yes, I have /Will characters too, some have about 50% additional hit points with accolades and boni, and it is really a pain in my scaly butt to get any progress towards said badges. That could use dev love.

YET what annoys me much more is why the devs still allow badge progress while afk. That is stupid and pretty much defies the purpose of any badge attained in that way.

The way this badge records damage needs to be fixed. Why punish builds that have bonus health? And the way its set up now, it encourages (actually it necessitates - if you want the badge in any reasonable amount of time) gaming the system in many cases just to get the badge, rather than just playing the game the way it's supposed to be played. I did an entire barracuda task force without getting any progress at all towards this badge, and I can assure you, I took a lot of damage.
