Preatoria Morality badges as a Primal

How would a Primal go about getting these badges? Is it possible yet?

Nope. Might need the Praetorian's version of Ouroborus to do it which isn't ingame yet.


The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.

We'll probably get to pick a side in the war in the near future in order to take Praetoria down from the inside or become a Loyalist Praetorian. Seeing as Maelstrom did, it is quite likely that we'll get to.

There are currently nine badges that aren't rewarding for Primals at the moment.

- The three morality badges for Primals, since there's no way to flashback to the Praetoria story arcs yet.
- The Praetoria tutorial badge (Avid Reader). Not sure if this will ever be available to Primals, but I hope so.
- The "Praetorian Tourist" badge, which isn't available to anyone.
- The four "morality reinforcement" badges, which aren't awarding for anyone yet.

I suppose you can also count the respec badges, since only a lucky few have been able to earn the badges of both sides due to never having used their respecs (lucky!!)

This might just be a quibble but since the Praetorian Tourist badge and the "morality reinforcement" badges don't currently exist as live badges in the game technically no one can get these badges at the moment, not just Primals. I prefer not to lump potential "found only in the .pigg files" badges in with live badges. Basically we don't know if badges like these will EVER become real badges so there's not much point to worrying about them right now.

Yeah the "tourist respec" badge issue does need to be dealt with one way or the other.

I think it would be very crummy if the ability to earn a badge permanently rested on whether or not I chose to use a respec token years ago. The most logical thing to do would be to allow anyone to earn all 6 badges (3 hero and 3 villain) even if that meant we could have 6 respec tokens racked up. It's not like having lots of respec tokens would break the game - I have alts who have access to like 10 Vet respec tokens right now.

Hopefully the Devs will sort this problem out in a timely fashion.

I agree completely. If we were going to include badges like that, the list would be quite a bit longer... [wasn't one of the Dev's badge list at like 1400 at some point (even before GR and all the new ones were released)]?

...and especially if you include all the old AE badges. Without looking for them, I'd have to guess that their requirements were simply removed and/or hidden, but still in the files somewhere. That makes for quite a list! haha

Again, I agree completely. That was my suggestion from the beginning, but apparently there is a lot more to it "behind the scenes" than that. Either way, I hope they do revisit the mechanic that awards them at some point. It only makes sense.

Yeah, if only to allow heroes turned villains access to Arbiter Leery's arc (or flashback).

That's a good point that I forgot about. Not only are "heroes-turned-villain" missing out on potential respec badges but we are also potentially locked out from doing other content because we can't unlock a contact.

That simply adds more weight to the case that this situation needs to be fixed in a reasonably timely manner.
