Respec badges

Issue 20 now allows all 6 respec to be earned.

Can anyone confirm if a vigilante can earn the villain respec badges or must a full alignment switch to villain be made?

They didn't datamine for players who ran it and didn't get badge credit .... will test if a vigilante can get credit soon<tm>

Confirmed.

I ran all three villain respec SFs with my Vigilante and got all three badges.

I'm glad we can get all 6 badges now; I'm sad (not looking forward to) about having to run 3 villain respecs

Silly Keldarn,

If it's not a badge or a cookie, it doesn't matter!

Was going to run all 3 treespecs, but it was mentioned that you can do just the 3rd treespec three times and pick the badge each time? Would rather run it at 50 for the drops and generally get more interest for it.

I haven't picked a respec/badge in many many years, so wasn't aware if this is accurate.

That might not be the case any more. I did the third treespec and got the third villain respec badge on my rogue controller.

Alignment shifting may have changed it for shifted characters.

Interestingly enough, I had all 3 Hero Respec badges "rewarded" to my main after logging in. There was no BADGE EARNED! to let me know. I happened to open the Badge window, and go to Most Recent, to see if I had managed to earn any Lambda Lambda Lambda badges, and there they were, with an Earned On date of April 5, 2011.

I have no idea how long ago I originally earned them.

Well the character in question had all 3 hero respec badges. Yesterday the character did the 3rd treespec and got the 3rd treespec badge, not the first or second one. In fixing this, the developers might have set each respec/treespec trial to only give the "correct" badge for the trial.

Go to your "Most Recent" list, and hover the cursor over the badge in question. It should give a "date earned".

I earned those 3 badges more than 2 years ago, probably more than 3 years ago. I don't know when I originally earned them. I think it was sometime between Issues 8 and 9.

The badges were likely changed to "new" badges or just awarded again to allow for the other badges to be earned.

Even more interestingly, I had TWO of them re-awarded when I logged in. I have all 3 badges.

Hmmm, I will have to check to see if my main got the 3 villain respec badges; sure would be nice....(didn't get a pop-up saying BADGE EARNED but...Kheldarn didn't either...so maybe.... ).

Yep had the same 2 of 3 badges re awarded. Weird and just for a fleeting second thought I had been awarded the Vill badges for the times I did the treespec when my hero went red a while back. Only lasted a second though as I realised my badge count was the same as before

It's all good.

And I figure it has something to do with how the Respec Badges were originally tracked/awared/whatever you call it, after seeing the thread about being able to "get" all 6 of them.

Yes, some players will see the Respec badges appear in their "Most Recent" window again when they log into Issue 20 - a consequence of making them accessible to side-switchers properly.

Previously the badges were tied to earned and used respecs (which just happened to be only accessible via those trials), now they are tied directly to running the Respec Trials content itself - 1 for 1, for a total of 6. The respec mechanics themselves weren't changed.

Hope that clears it up.
