Trouble getting 2 Boomtown Exploration Badges

Can't seem to get two of the new Boomtown exploration badges, End of the Line and Towering Inferno. End of the Line looks like it's on the tip of the broken-off monorail line, judging by Badge-Hunter's snapshot, but I've crawled all over that and the ground below it without getting the badge. The picture for Towering Inferno is harder to match up (sooty and smoky area) but I've jogged all over the burned-out top of that building and finally gave up trying to blunder into the badge marker.

Any suggestions? Is it possible these are bugged? Or am I simply missing my targets?

There are currently only 4 Explorations in Boomtown:
Phalanxer
Regal
Vision of Despair
Destined for Vahalla

The new badges in Hazard zones are not Live yet until i19 releases.

This means the following badges in Boomtown can not currently be earned on the Live servers:
Towering Inferno
Boomtown Troglodyte
End of the Line
Corpse Box

Yeah looks like you just got caught in this bit of time between when I19 was "supposed" to be released (back on Nov. 16th) and when it'll actually be released. There's really no fault for Badge-Hunter technically updating their badge map info early because if it wasn't for the problems the Devs had with bugs in I19 it would've been live already.

Personally, I love when things are done ahead of time. It saves everybody the trouble from having to "re"-verify the new badges on the site if we earn them on release day and things are not added yet.

Everybody on the sites do a great job either way and we all appreciate it.

As far as I can tell, all 8 badges can currently be earned. If you are still not getting one, you are probably in the wrong place.

The problem is that people have to actually figure out where the badges are. Hint: They're NOT on the ground.
Same here. Use the vidiotmaps site to locate them by map location and picture, possibly you're just barely missing them somehow.

Don't forget, if you're having troubles locating the location, use the Interactive Maps over at Vidiotmaps and select Boomtown, you can click on the badge marker you are having troubles with and a small popup will open showing you a screenshot of it exact location. This may help you locate the badge a little easier.

Boomtown is hard to badge in anyway. This pile of rubble vs, that pile of rubble. It's the only zone where I have to use the coordinates.

Still... More badges = GOOD!


PS. MUCH thanks for the updated map sites and info. You guys RAWK!!!

Or go to vidiotmaps and click the badge icons on the maps for a picture of where the badge can be found. That's the only way I've been able to find some of them.
