Sadly no or at least not that I am aware of and I badge hunt a good bit. unlikc the exploration badges which give you an instant indication the History plaques don't register until you click all the required ones and get that badge. Anyone know if there is some slash command you can use to check plaque status? I sort of doubt it.

Nothing that I know of to keep track of plaques, but it is a neat idea. I know I've had to do the same from time to time, go back and re-click to make sure I had them.
Does the game even remember, from session to session? I was under the impression (admittedly unfounded) that the game would forget which plaques you had touched if you logged.

This is the current solution. Personally, I do one of two things: either get all the explore plaques for a specific badge in one session or just grab all the explore plaques in a zone during one session (ie. all the Atlas Park, Galaxy City, Kings Row, etc).

Like Snow said, the progress bars on most of the badges will tell you how many more plaques you have to touch, but wont tell you specifically which ones.

Which is why I said "admittedly unfounded" -- I also do not know what gave me this idea. Possibly the assumption that I never remember which ones I've clicked, so why should the game? |

But I don't see how badge progress meters make me wrong.
EDIT: Whoa wait, history badges have meters? Since when???

On a side note, the badges are awarded serverside, not by the client.. so there would be no reason for it to reset from session to session unless there was a bug serverside.
Have they always had meters (since there were meters I mean)? I don't recall noticing that before.

Well you could have clicked on a plaque, logged out and came back to having a "tick" of the appropriate badge meter. Easy enough to check.|

| All badges, other than Invention badges, have had their hint text filled in with a greater amount of detail. All badges will explain how many foes need to be defeated and Accolades will explain which badges are needed to obtain them. Meters have been added to all badges where appropriate and badges that track more than 1 kill, event, etc. should now have help text. |
Note that the above still doesn't apply to gladiators, the red-headed stepchild of the badge system.

I didn't think there was one but i think it would be a good thing if NcSoft had one you could view. Not nessesarily telling you the ones you missed.. wheres the fun in that, but to tell you the ones you have.
food for thought.
Now if one were made that was 3rd party, would it violate the Eula since your [as far as i know] not messing with NCSOFTS property? opening files editing anything etc. etc.
Thanks for the help gang.

Also, whenever I do go for them I always grab the plaques all at once, so there's never any reason to look at the badge meters for those.

(Since this thread is about badges and such I hope i am writing this in the correct space.)
Is there a way to automatically keep track of what plaques have been touched either in CoH software or 3rd party ( thats doesn't violate the NcSoft EULA)
for example : I was working on the student badge, but since I forgot which plaque i missed, I had to go to each zone a re click them to make sure I got the one i missed.
If not i guess the old fashion way will have to do ( pencil & paper) But with multiple toons badge hunting, it would be more convenient to have it listed automatically.
Thanks folks : )
