It depends. There are a number of badges that are mutually exclusive for Praetorians and Primals. Something like 50 Achievements and a three Accolades, those Achievements are not including the 1250 badges earned badge for either faction, since nobody could actually earn that right now. Then there are opposite faction respec badges, which you can get, but only if you never used the earned respecs from your native side until you switch to the other side. Then there are Bug Hunter and Passport, which are very limited or not even earnable anymore. Then there are four Accomplishment badges that a Praetorian can earn, but no Primal yet can, and six CoH Anniversary badges, one CoV Anniversary badge and the 5th Columnist Gladiator that no Praetorian can currently earn.

That being said, a Primal could potentially have as many as 1202, given that the stars aligned just right, and they had an account that was active from the start and never lapsed, had earned Passport, either through a misawarding that happened shortly before CoV launched, or from transferring their NA account to EU during that program, which has long since passed, having somehow received Bug Hunter, and not having cashed in any of their earned respecs from their native side until switching to the other side, all on a character created before the first Anniversary badge stopped awarding.

If we factor out Bug Hunter and Passport, you could potentially have 1200. For every respec earned from the trial that you actually used up on your native side before switching to the other, you would have to subtract 1, for a total ranging downward to 1197.

To complicate matters a little further, a Primal could also run a Katie Hannon TF with the express purpose of stopping after the eighth defeat of Katie, assuming that they already had X Times the Victor, for the first eight badges for defeating her to stick. Most don't count those badges, and the tracking sites don't list them, but they could potentially bolster the number as high as 1210 for a Primal that had the good fortune of having all of the other factors listed above fall in their favor.

Add one more starting in roughly 11 days for the next Veteran badge for early-awarders like Turgenev.

For a Praetorian, subtract four from that total, plus Handsome/Beautiful, since the contacts needed for those haven't been in the game yet for them since Praetoria launched, something that will almost certainly change when the Spring Fling Event comes back. I doubt that any Praetorian is nearly that high, though, since they can't possibly have earned all available Day Jobs and Day Job Accolades, and would have had to subtract from the time earning those to work on Damage Taken and Healing, at the least.

You gave a nice "state of the badge" summation there.

As far as Praetorian native badgers go I just wanted to chime in to say there may in fact be a few people out there seriously trying to do that. About a month after Issue 18 went live I stumbled across a character in Steel Canyon who was an obvious Praetorian native (based on the badges he had) that had over 700 badges. Even though Praetorians can get 4 Praetorian badges that Primals can't currently get they are going to be down at the very least 7 anniversary badges (counting the CoV one) and the 5th column gladiator. Still there appears to be at least one person going for it, for what it's worth as a FYI.

Okay, I'm just going by what I can/can't get and add a few "possible" badges

I'm currently sitting at 1,192 badges with this total, I could get:
  • 1 day job
  • 1 day job accolade
  • 1 Bug Hunter (yeah right)
  • 3 Vet rewards (if I went back in time and started my subscription earlier)
  • 1 Passport if I was somehow transferred to the EU servers during the time the badge was live
Badges I don't count:
  • 3 of 6 Respec badges (if the developers don't fix the fact that I can't earn them or they auto award if you have the opposite side's respec badges)
  • 9 of the X Times the Victor badges (I think that is cheating)
So if I subscribed from day 1, got the bug hunter, and transfered to the EU servers I would have a total of 1,199 badges.

As it stands, I will be getting my last day job (and day job accolade) in 2 weeks (or a bit later) and my next Vet Reward badge on Feb 12th. If I can somehow convince someone to grant me the Bug Hunter I'll be at my max of 1,196 (1,195 without Bug Hunter) until either my next vet reward or whatever badges come out with Issue 20.
