It just seems people carry on over useless info and just either want to waste more time by having a dev rename or address something in the game files. (And yes, reading game files is still considered a no-no, especially when you're telling people in public "well, the game files say differently." "Permission" or not, you're not supposed to discuss the files within the game that you can access/read outside of the game.) In other words: is it really all that important? Really? I don't see anyone making a stink over the ToT Costume badge names that they weren't renamed from the badges that they never even used in game. |

This kind of thing might not be important to the average player. But because people like Beef_Cake are taking the time to work on a badge tracking website which has been effectively endorsed/supported by the Devs of the game for years it's probably a bit more important to him what the game files are named and making sure there are as few "errors" like this as possible.

For me, this isn't important because is affects gameplay 0%. No matter how you look at it, you are getting awarded a badge for completing a task. The image files correctly match the TF reward. The filenames, as Beef noted, are different. Once again, that affects the gameplay 0% as you are not being cheated out of anything. As every badge has been earned and verified, in Beta, no one is missing out on anything.
And I'm FAR from being an "average player" but this is a non-issue to me, once again, because it doesn't change the gameplay in any way. And... if the gameplay is the actual thing that's important (ie. no badges if the game is broken), then I'd rather see the Devs spend time on keeping the gameplay working rather than have to backtrack their own work JUST to keep Beef_Cake happy.
And let's not forget... this wouldn't be an issue if Beef_Cake didn't make it one. No one else put any thought or cared to make this point, most likely, because it really is a non-issue.

God forbid I would have to waste 2 seconds of my life to change badge art on any badge on the site, that's not the point at all.

OK all I am gonna say is this. Beef is helping a segment of the community. He does this for the love of the game. He takes a **** load of crap from a very vocal minorty on these forums and he does not deserve it. If you are gonna complain about this Commander why dont you get off your *** and help the community?
This venom coming from you is really surprising. The few times we have talked in game and on the boards you have always been a voice of reason. You have made your point, so the best thing right now would be for you to gracefully walk away.

Dude... This is the BADGE section of the forum... in this SECTION we talk about... wait for it.... Anything having to do with BADGES! If anyone has a question pertaining to a badge issue this is where you post it... It's pretty funny... If this is not important (like you say) then why even reply? The only reason I can see is, you are trying to stir up trouble... You may be far from an average player but, you are without a doubt, an average troll...

While it is a non-issue at this point, it might not be so in the future. At any rate, the only person making a "big deal" out of it is you. It would likely take a few minutes to change the eight entries and the filenames of the two images. So I don't really see what the fuss is about.

With the new Danger! Danger! And High Voltage! exploration badges in Terra Volta, I suspect that theres a Dev who is a fan of the Electric Six. I wonder when were going to get a Gaybar badge? Anyone want to lay bets on where it will be located

Thanks for assembling this list. One thing that's not exactly clear to me (mainly because I hadn't run the new TFs yet), is what artwork all of these badges are supposed to have. The way the list indicates I can't tell if they're all the same or if some just don't have art.

You are allowed to revive them using the temp power to help you in the final fight. Burden Bearer/Arm's Length- Obtained by keeping all the police drones alive and de-activated. This means not using the temp power to revive them and still not letting them be defeated by the ambushes.

Timer only counts while she is on the map. Tin Mage TF Badges -  Hacker- You managed to destroy the War Walkers within the secret Praetorian warehouse before the security team could be activated. Obtained if you click all 8 devices in the 30 seconds after you enter the warehouse. Midnight Dodger What Dodges at Midnight- Director 11 may be a master of demolitions, but you showed him you're a master at dodging bombs. Obtained by avoiding being hit at all by any proximity bombs. Kitty's Got Claws- You saw Bobcat do something no one else has seen; fight with all her effort. Despite her best efforts, you still managed to put her down. Obtained by Defeating Neuron before Bobcat goes below 50% hp then defeating Bobcat. Army of Neu- You waded through a small army of Neuron's clones in order to help push back Praetoria's invasion of Primal Earth. Obtained for defeating X number of Neuron's clones. |

So, if this has been asked already oh well, but can anyone confirm whether or not getting all eight badges in the shard zones or the Abandoned Sewer grant a base TP beacon to that zone? Just curious if I need to rig some new TP units.

I haven't read anything about any new TP beacons coming with I19. I'm not 100% positive on that, but I've been following the forums on I19 for months and don't recall a mention so my current guess is no.

I just checked in FBZ and got no SG beacon for getting the badges there.

Glad to know that extra TP units aren't needed.....unless they can link bases to both red and blue zones.....

Considering a Vigilante can already earn the Villain beacons for the SG, I don't really see a reason why they shouldn't just allow us to cross the SGs nowadays. There seem to already be policies in place to prevent people from going where they aren't supposed to anyway. A Hero entering a Villain base gets kicked back to Atlas when attempting to use the TPs.
