I was trying to get all 8 of the river rat badges in Nova the other day and was only able to get 7 out of 8 is that a bug? I went over all 8 more then three times to make sure.


When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

The problem bridge is the one circled:



Get it from the Imperial City side.

Thank you very much

All 4 characters I got those on were able to earn credit from Nova-side (that's where I started that series from). Maybe it's a hit/miss kinda thing?

The bridge just outside that red circle works fine. The bridge fully enclosed by the red circle has (for the most part) never worked, even as far back as GR Beta and as recently as a few days ago when I tried it yet again on a primal character. There might be a hit box that isn't properly aligned (wouldn't be the first time) at that location.

Suggestion to work around the issue (which I didn't think of - I only did it because I read it on the forums):
Have your badge window open and displaying the correct badge counter and watch to see it 'tick' one step of progress as you swim along. That way you'll know you got credit for that particular bridge.

LOL. I saw your circle, and I'm saying that it worked fine for me. I just got all 8 again this morning in Nova without any problems at all. I kept the badge window open when I went under the bridge and it gave me credit right when I thought it would, even on the exact bridge you circled.

I'm not denying there might be a problem for some people, just that I haven't encountered it. Even if the spot might be misaligned, it's certainly there.

This is exactly what I do for any of the history or multi-requirement badges, just to make sure. I haven't noticed any issues at any of the locations.

Yeah, those two are tricky because you can't go under them. I've always swim up to them, jump onto the bridge, go in a straight line to the other side and jump into the water.

I always have my badge window open at that location (and the others when I do the River Rat badge). That bridge in Nova is the only one I've had trouble with since they activated the Nova river locations.

I can't find these last 2 at those bridges!!! I swam everywhere around them and went on the bridges as well. These aer the last 2 I need. Any other ideas?

Swim around the south side of the south bridge, and the north side of the north bridge. That's usually where I found credit for those locations.

If that doesn't work, are you sure those are the two you are missing?

Thanks for the response. Tried that already. Yeah, going into Neutropolis I had 16 out of 19 badges. I got the one at the western part of the map no problem; it's just those 2. I found a link on another post that said something about getting credit for the badge at the problem area first listed in this thread. I'm going to go back there tonight and see if I get the badge.
