I guess if there's a badge for healing, a badge for doing damage, a badge for exploring, a badge for taking damage, a badge for arresting X mob type, a badge for selling, a badge for buying, a badge for--
Etc.
Makes sense to have a a badge for badges, I guess?
I just want a list of badge names

Edit:
Like Lothic, Beef Cake, and many others here I will be earning the 500 badge when Issue 17 rolls out. I'll likely have the 750 badge quickly thereafter. As of tomorrow, my main badge collector will have 685 badges.

Yes, I too am waiting to see how switching affects badging. As to all the new map badges that are coming.....eh. I can see new map badges in the Praetorian zones since they are new zones, but why add more badges to the existing zones? That seems to me like they are throwing a bone out there to keep the badge collectors occupied, especially ones that have wrapped up all current badges including dayjobs. |

I've been here since beta, so to me any badge you want to call Epic is a plus to me, I think its Epic that many of us have been here and are still here since the beginning of this game. I can't really say if I'll switch sides or not with my main, it all depends on what it costs me. I've been with my SG for over 5 years and would hate to have to leave the group just to grab a few badges. Not counting losing my rank, my join date, my presitge totals for the SG..etc...etc. So if that is what it costs, then I will stay strictly as a Hero. I will just take advantage of switching side with my alts. Just have to wait and see how it plays out I suppose. |
New achievment/accomplishment badges from new missions and story arcs is fine with me as that is more incentive to play the new stuff. I'm not too hip though to zipping through all the current zones to pick up newly added map badges. Of course I will, it is just not my idea of a swell time since I've long since traveled all the zones and have pretty much been there and done that and would rather check out the new Praetorian zones.
Ick, just had a thought.....map badges inserted into the shadow shard zones?
New kill x-amount badges? I expect those with GR, can't see adding any to the game now unless they throw in some 5th column kill badges. Hm, be nice incentive to run the Khan/Barracuda TF again.
New gladiator badges? What for? Can't see any need for those.
New invention badges? Meh.
New Ouroborus badges? Can't see much need for those to be increased. I just hope that side switching allows us to access the arcs and missions from the other side via Ourborus.
New Day jobs? Please, no. There are more then enough of those and I can't see us being allowed to get the other side's dayjobs since that could be double dipping.
New Accolades: those I don't mind. Some of them make for nice badge titles and if they give an extra power, even better.
New Master badges: Please, no. 3 Mo badges per side is enough, imo.

Eh, I guess part of my reasoning for downplaying the importance of the count badges is that now-a-days whenever I create a new character it has something like 30 or 35 badges automatically awarded to it (with all the Vet, MA and other account-wide badges). This means I automatically get at least the first two count badges with zero effort. Not much significance getting "milestone" type badges when I did nothing to actively earn them. Likewise my main badgers have had 500+ badges for years (and will likely be past 750 within days of I17's launch) so adding count badges at those levels don't really do much for me either. *shrugs*
The other part of my downplaying is that the only fundamental reason to worry about getting a particular "epic" count badge is to use as a metric for measuring badge related e-peen length. Let's face it, they're just there to be able to say to other people "I have such-n-such badge". Now obviously one could argue that you could do that with any hard-to-get badge, but that's really the -primary- reason why the count badges ever existed in the first place. They have no intrinsic value or justification beyond that. They are the quintessential e-peen badges. That just makes them seem an extra bit cheesy to me.
Am I looking forward to eventually having 1,000+ badges on my main badging characters? Of course I am.
But I didn't really need a new semi-artificial count badge to make that goal any sweeter for me.

I could do without the count badges myself. Nice to have I suppose but not quintessential. As to them being the quintessential e-peen badges, well one could also say that the Vet Badges fit that description also.

Look forward to all the new exploration badges... nope. Bleh.
The city is wonderful and pretty... but I've already seen every piece of it.. more than once. Now I get to tour it again. Woo frickin hoo.
Seriously. Maybe if the devs required you to be in Ultra-Mode to get the new badges, then maybe I would go for it (because it would restore my faith that the devs hate us.) But really, double the explorations..... *meh*

My thoughts on the new badge count badges..
There seems to be alot of talk of how necessary these are. Honestly, how necessaray is any badge that doesn't unlock a cool new accolade power, costume part, gadget for your super group, gladiator to play with (if you're into that sort of thing), etc...?
Everything else is just fluff. But hey, they are fun to collect. The count badges have just as much a place in the game as all the other badges, an award for achieving something.
As for the badges and the badge count on the info screen being redundant, I disagree. To me, they serve different purposes. I view the badge count as more of a personal tool for tracking my badge count. I'm generally surprised when someone else bothers to click on my info to access that information for themself.
The badge count badges, I view as a tool for those who want to advertise. I don't generally go around checking the badge count of every person I meet on the street, However if someone is sporting the "I earned 1,000 badges" badge title, I might be more inclined to take a look.

I may be only one in the game who feels this way, but I think exploration badges in the Shadow Shard would be awesome. I really hope they add some! 
I still randomly spend time exploring the zones on occasion. Last month I discovered an underground area I'd never seen in Skyway. New exploration badges are a thumbs up from me.

My personal hope is, that while new badges are nice, I really hope they go take a look at some of the systems other games have added in the interim since our badge system was cutting edge, and then come back and make some serious upgrades. It's very clear WoW's Achievements took our system as a starting place, but there's a lot there we don't have in terms of interesting tasks, epic feeling accomplishments, and flat out fun and funny things to do.
Little things like trackable badge popups (like our Combat Attribs window), Local/Team/Guild announcements when you get a badge, DING sound effects when you get a badge, linkable text for any badge in progress or earned. These little things may not seem like much, but they added something to the experience I've been missing here and didn't even know it.
On top of that specific dungeon or PvP or PvE challenges are types of badges all add to the interest and challenge of getting badges more than just completing or finding or defeating the things we do (a CoH example might be "defeating Hamidon Nucleus without defeating the mitos" or "defeating Statesman first in the LRSF")
