Safety Guard/Mayhem

the badges from side missions and killing the hero and destroying the bank vault, all those badges; are they like the accolades and simply convert to the opposing faction version?

the reason I ask is because I took my hero to vigilante and did some mayhems. I already have all the badges from the hero bank jobs but there is no badge progress bars for anything for me when I try to do all that stuff in mayhems.

thoughts?

You will still need to get the side mission for arsons, since that's not available in Safeguards (obviously).

All the "defeat" badges (defeating signature heroes, vault doors, etc.) except for a couple that have counterparts (such as Impounder/Pedestrian) will also need to be earned by doing Mayhems.

No, they don't behave like the other counterpart ones. You'll need to collect all of them.

so are these badges some of the "have to be villain only to get but can still work on" badges? because i have no progress bars for any of it.

That is correct. I believe that you won't be awarded the badges until you transfer over fully, though don't quote me on that.

Correct, they are villain-only (including progress bars).

Correct.

Still would be nice if the mayhems and safeguards could be added to the ouroborus crystal.

Personally, I'd rather they simply lift the lvl restriction for Radio and Newspaper missions. If you get the mission in a lower zone, just make the mission auto-EX you to that level.. and/or at least refer you directly to the detective for the bank mission at that level. Then anybody would be able to do any of them regardless of status anyway.

yeah auto lvl for papers makes sense... i mean do heroes ignore street crime cause the mobs don't give xp? you know besides positron?

I really like that idea. It should of course say when you're looking at the paper/radio "this is for whatever lvl, you will be exemped", but that would be an awesome addition to zee game.

"Besides Positron..." lol *golf clap*

Anyway wasn't there even a quick scene in the latest Superman movie where they showed him zooming in and stopping a trivial coffee store hold-up and the news announcer saying something like, "And here we see no crime is too small for Superman to handle". If my level 50 wants to stop a bank robbery in Atlas Park the game should let me do that solo (with auto-exemplaring) without having to find someone else with that mission.

the only problem with auto exemping for bank jobs is how would we be able to get the bank job in the first place being too high for the zone?

We'd be auto exemping for the newspaper/radio mishes too.

Hence the request to remove the level cap. When you are too high for a zone, it would simply give you the "You will EX to this level if you accept a mission", instead of "Things in this area are beneath your notice."

Maybe we should make a quick comic strip series called "What Would Positron Do?".

We can show a picture of a citizen getting her purse stolen, and Positron goes by her saying "Sorry! I'm over-qualified to help you. Please ask somebody who is lower level to help you." haha

Scott did a series focused on CoH, and it came bundled with the CoH DVD.

That was back before he started pandering for handouts from companies so that he could "review" their products in his comic, and before his ego got out of control. I think those two things happened about the same time he started playing WoW...

They're not on Black Scorpion's list, and I have Pedestrian (Impounder, 100 cars) and Thin Line (Outlaw, 1000 PPD) on my Vigilante. However, I didn't have progress bars for them (which made Thin Line quite a surprise), nor do I have progress bars toward the other four mayhem badges.

I should clarify my comment -- the progress bars don't show for tourists, but as you mention, the badges obviously will pop. Why they're not on the list you cited, I can't say, sorry, I just know it's so from experience (and I believe you echo that in your comment).
