Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.
Badges for defeating unique or signature villains and heroes such as Dr. Vahzilok or Arbiter Sands in the story arcs. I don't mean a badge for killing 25 of them or whatever like the villain badge but a badge for each of them. Just another way of showing your accomplishments ingame.
And more importantly I'd like to see badges for completing all of the story arcs offered by a contact.

Friends don't let friends buy an ncsoft controlled project.
I have suggested this before in passing but this seems like the perfect time to bring it up again.. How about a badge, an accolade, for defeating all of the Giant Monsters. My previous suggestion was only to include the COH ones but now that anyone can crosss over lets make it more interesting
Defeat:
Kraken (Perez Park) COH
Babbage (Boomtown or Skyway) COH
DeathSurge (Cap Au Diable) COV
Lusca (IP) COH
Ghost of Scrapyard (Sharkhead) COV
Adamaster (Dark Astoria) COH
Eochia (Croatoa) COH
Jack in Irons (Croatoa) COH
Jurassik (Creys Folly) COH
Kronos Titan (Founders Falls or in the LRSF) COH/COV
Caleb (Nerva) COV
Arachnos Flyer (Grandville or in the STF) COH/COV
Now I left out all of the Holiday GMs like the Winter Lord or the ToT version of Eochia and jack in Irons... lets not make this a badge it takes 6 months to acquire! And you'll notice while I did include those Jack and Eochia I left out Sally from Croatoa. Technically the trio of GMs in Croatoa already are a part of one accolade but my real reason is simply I find it very hard to consider Sally a real challenge and worth of a badge.. I can "DEFEAT" her with one swipe from brawl.. unslotted That hardly qualifies as a GM battle.
I'm not sure exactly what to call it.. Giant Killer sounds good but it is already taken. One thing I would like to see is make it another accolade with powers. If a player obtains all of the defeat badges for each GM they get a accolade power that when activated grants them a Defense Bonus or a Damage Resistance Bonus for 2 minutes and like many of the others they can activate it once every 25 minutes.. sort pf a reward for all those defeats .. here take this it may help you stay alive next time you battle a Giant Monster! So anyone think this idea is a good one? and can anyone think of a name for the badge? LOL :-D

Except the part about requiring a character to switch sides. There could always be a third, non-power accolade for getting both red and blue versions, but I don't think anything with a stat boost as its reward should require you to switch sides.
If the accolade gave a power boost, I'd suggest that it apply exclusively when fighting Monsters and Giant Monsters. Thematically speaking, fighting them isn't the same as fighting things that are close to your own size. It requires different tactics. (Not that I'd mind GM hunting teams forming more often, by people looking for the accolade. I love me a good monster mash
)
"Bane of Titans" perhaps.
Not sure I'd get behind an accolade for this one, though I would for it being for all GMs on both sides. If youy're getting it for a badger, you're side-flipping ANYway.

Precisely. I think the biggest problem is that people see the Voiders as "throwaway" spawns - avoided if you can because there's no real value to them. At least this would give them some in-game value.|

Thanks for reminding me that the Voiders still exist!

Well you don't need to completely switch from Villain to Hero JUST to get a badge.. I have most of my villains in Rogue status and a lot of heroes in Vigilante status. You can go to both sides, battle any and all GMs, participate in any TF or SF and still maintain your alliance to either Statesman or Lord Recluse. And of course once you have all the badges you want you can always switch back AND there is a badge for doing that too :-D I think about the ONLY badge(s) unavailable to a Rogue are one exploration badge in Atlas Park (its located at the entrance to Recluse Victory and when you click the elevator it tells you.. Heroes Only!) and of course the Accolade for getting all the Atlas park Exploration badges because of that ONE badge in Atlas.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for adding in new badges. I just think that power-granting ones should be available to those who don't want to switch at any point, 'cause there are plenty of people who don't. But now, a little something extra for the grey-siders on top of what villains or heroes get... that's cool |

Ohhh I didn't think of that. You are still in Atlas Park NOT Recluse Victory so I don't see any reason why a team mate couldn't TP you down to pick up that badge... Okay so WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM YOUR FRIENDS there are no badges I KNOW OF that a Rogue can't get hero side. LOL

Confirmed, and you have to use some sort of TP to get back out of the "Edge of Chaos" badge location.

like the "Dirty Lawyer" badge, there should be one for viewing one of the Infront Steakhouse advertisements... call it "mmmmmn steak"
(ok, I'll admit it, this is a bit self-serving cause I have a minotaur called steakhouse)

I'd like to see a badge for each individual TF, and a powerless Accolade for completing all three.
Defeat 100 Minotaur EB's (Including Minos on Ramiel Arc) - Cowtipper
"No cow is safe from your sheer might, they are off their hooves before they know what hit them."
Defeat 250 Minotaur EB's, etc - Cowboy (or Cowgirl)
"You are the master of the herds, able to wrangle any bovine beast, be it mythical or mundane.
@Kyuu
Anyone suggest a badge for taking down a rikti dropship during a raid?
I would like to see the return of the "Bonanza" badge.
Just a wild far fetched dream- I would like to see a "Hossome" badge.
Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.
Sapped- You hate Malta Sappers. They've drained you enough times that they even joke about you, saying you're Sapped. Poor Sap.
