Praetorian arc EB/AV kills...

Okay-so if you end up on a timed, defeat all mission with a Praetorian villain in it...a friend was asking me today if you could go kill the villain, then leave the mission and let it time out (or autocomplete it). Would you still get the kill credit towards the Portal Jockey accolade badge? I've never tried, so I'm curious.

Badge credit is not from completing the missions Its for defeating the AV/EB.

As long as you are in the mission to get credit while the AV/EB is killed, the status of the mission itself does not matter at all.

In short, yes.

It's a moot question, since the only timed mission featuring a Praetorian AV/EB is with Shadowhunter, and he, along with Mother Mayhem and Tyrant, doesn't count for Dimensional Warder. Badge-Hunter has a list for Dimensional Warder, and I've verified it to be true myself. Though, for mission drop purposes, I suppose you could go in, defeat the AV/EB, then leave and drop the mission for badge credit. I can't say that I understand why you would do that, but everyone has their own ways of playing.

I was going to comment on the same thing, but I deleted it. After re-reading, it sounds like Ms. Mesmer was just referring to doing that for badge credit on the other (non-timed) missions, since the post was started by saying Shadowhunter isn't needed for the badge.

The OP can still let the mission time out though.

I meant for those AV/EBs that actually count for the badge. Those are all not timed, so if you just didn't want to bother cleaning up the rest of them in another defeat all or something, since it's all theoretical at this point.

You get badge credit the instant they die. It doesn't matter if you win, lose, or reset the mission without completing. If you are on the same map, teamed with the people who killed the EB/AV, you get credit.

True, I was thinking of the badge requirements, and I didn't realize Shadowhunter and Mother Mayhem weren't on the list. I knew Bobcat was, but you get to fight her twice-once timed, once not.

Another point to make here, though-separate from my original-is the flashback thing. Might save someone a little time (sort of) on the Tina McIntyre or Maria Jenkins arcs. Just log off and play someone else (or do something in RL) while those missions time down, come back in and continue. From what I understand, it doesn't hurt the merit reward.

Just a (new) thought. :^)

While the question has been answered, I gotta ask.

Anyone else out there see the thread title as "Praetorian arc kills EBAY..."?
