Vigilante to Villain Badge Bug

Alright, I just finally changed my alignment from vigilante to full on villain, and I got a lot of badges I don't think I should have gotten.

Now my understanding of the system is that when you go from hero to villain or vice versa, some badges change names. That doesn't mean you should get extra badges, aside from the ones granted from the switch from vigilante to villain.

That being said I was awarded with an additional 13 badges when I switched.

I went from 759 badges, to 774 badges. Now 2 of those were from the switch. Descended, the badge for switching from hero to villain. And Dastardly, for completing a Villain morality mission.

A third badge, Surging, I earned from defeating death surge as a vigilante, but it was rewarded late.

however as near as I can tell ,12 more badges were added to my character that I DID NOT earn..

Invader - Earned from getting all the exploration badges in Mayham missions. I have not done a single mayham mission yet.

Force of Nature - Gotten from destroying things in mayham missions. Again, I haven't done any mayhem missions on that character.

Meglomaniac- Accolade, I haven't done several requirements.

Demonic - Same as above

Marshal - Same as above

Headline Stealer - Same as above

High pain threshold - same as above.

It seems that they are the Villain version of accolades I have earned hero side. However I have not earned these villain side yet, and they didn't replace my hero accolades, they were added onto it.

Now is this WAI? I hope not, I was looking forward to earning those badges and I'm a little miffed that I got them this way.

If it's a bug, it needs to be looked at.

Edit: Actually looking at it now. The only ones I was awarded with, that I didn't earn, were villain accolade equivlents of hero accolades. The others were retro actively rewarded gladiator badges, that I do have the requirements for.

It's supposed to give you the matching badge from the opposite side.

EX: Invader--->Task Force Commander
Marshal--->Atlas Medallion

etc.

Hope it helps.

EDIT: read the rest i missed, you have doubles?! COOL! I'd bug it, but get screenies first
EDIT after your EDIT: well alrighty then.

If you have the equivalent hero accolade, you are automatically granted the corresponding villain badge & vice versa. No bug involved.

I think I may do a big switch back and forth to get the accolades on blueside, omg they're so much easier to get over there! (cept for invader lol)

I'd also say that Demonic is easier to get than Archmage, mainly because of the BP masks.

Yeah, but the villain accolades are awarded for different tasks.. Which I wanted to earn on my own... Now I have 7 badges that I didn't earn. Yet.

The Hero Accolades no longer work, you need the villain equivaillant. So that is why it was awarded. You still can get the other badges.
