Thanks Beef. ^_^

How were you running it? You can get it done in 45minutes - 1.5 hours these days. A stealth/TPer and a tiny team makes for a fast Posi. At least, it does over on Justice where someone seems to be running it daily.

I agree. Some people don't find that TF to be all that horrible. We run it on Freedom on a regular basis as well and it does not take very long. I'm not saying I would prefer it over the new one, but I don't see a reason to delete it entirely.

Anybody know if the new badge arcs are accessible through Obo?

I don't see them, but I could be missing them. I found the old Positron TF in the 1-15 section where it should be though.

Even if they overlook it now, it might be something easily added later. What lvl range are the new arcs anyway?

Edit:
After further investigation, I found the arcs to be 20-29, and can all be found in the 25-29 section of Ouro... but only one shows up at first. The second one will unlock after you complete the first.

Edit2:
On Heroside, look for "Twisted Reflections" in the middle of the 25-29 list.
Completing it will unlock "Looking Through the Glass" right above it on the list.

On Villainside, look for "Me, Myself, and my Other Selves" also in the middle of the list.
Completing it will unlock "Good Villains Never Die" further down.
- While running "Good Villains Never Die", select "8 clones" during the first mission to earn the "Army of Me" badge.

I wonder why they didn't just put them all near the end of the list with the other badge missions. *shrug*

Ok, my first thought on seeing this is Firefly.

Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us?
Zoe: Big Dam Heroes, sir!
Mal: Ain't we just?

Not that I know of. I'm pretty sure we've found all the new explore badges.

What's the total for Hero badges, now? I was expecting more Explore Badges because of what the I17 Overview page says:

New Badges: Along with adding badges for 500 Badges Earned, 750 Badges Earned, and 1,000 Badges Earned, we are adding new exploration badges to city zones, almost doubling the number of exploration badges. You can learn new Accolades for finding all of the exploration badges in each city zone.

Counting all existing badges (except Bug Hunter and Passport), including the 72 month Vet badge, there are 700 badges available currently in Issue 16.

If Snow Globe's list is complete, then they're adding 72 more, for a total of 772 Hero badges.

Between the new badges introduced in Going Rogue and the Villain badges you'll (supposedly) be able to acquire by switching sides, there should be more than 1000 badges available by the end of summer.

Maybe it's a good thing I'm single at the moment... >_>

Edit: There will also be an Anniversary badge available from April 28th-May 31st that I wasn't counting in that 772 total, or so I'd imagine.

Main Hero: Chad Gulzow-Man (Victory) 50, 1396 Badges

There is currently no way to earn 1,000 badges, unless you are a developer.

The main feature of Issue 17 isn't anything 'to do' at all. It's Ultra Mode.

Find the badges without the list. Then do both the villain arcs, then both the new hero arcs, then run the revamped Positron TF.

Crossover from Hero -> Villain and Villain -> Hero. Nevertheless, the Overview page does indeed say a 1000 badge badge.

Might as well put it in now and be done with it. *shrug*

That will not be able to be earned until July and GR, thus not an Issue 17 badge.

And yet, funnily enough, they felt it was necessary to include it in the Issue 17 Overview.

I have no control over their marketing hype. I'd suggest that any disagreement between the amount of available Issue 17 badges and the overview page be given the proper weight of the electrons needed to supply said message.
