Question on BAF Strong and Pretty Badge


Beef_Cake

 

Posted

Question on this one. I've now run on two different runs to get this badge and was told by the leaders that the only reinforcements that matter are the ones during the double AV fight at the end. Meaning the reinforcements coming when you fight them solo do not count towards this badge. On these two runs, we failed to achieve it. So, I'm inclined to believe this is incorrect and those reinforcements do count.

Can I get someone to confirm or deny this?

All reinforcements must be dead for the badge to award.

So that means all reinforcements when you fight them solo? I.e., fighting Nighstar as the 2nd objective in the trial, and then Siege as the 4th objective, right before you fight them both?

Below is a link to a few images I made, that will show where to pull the AVs to make that badge easier for people to get.

But to earn this badge, all of Nightstar's and Seige's Reinforcements need to be defeated when both AVs are defeated, meaning when the AVs are defeated, there need to be "NO" Reinforcements on the map from either Nightstar or Seige.

Here are the images I made up

Hope it helps ya.

It means that the only moving non-player critters on the map are the two AVs.

Only phase 5 matters. I know this. I have gotten the badge/astral merit multiple times after having defeated Nightstar and Siege in phase 2 and 4 while reinforcements were still alive.

I have gotten this badge twice now when there were reinforcements still out in phase 5. Both times it was when it was the other guys reinforcements. Both times are what I would call extreme luck. Once we still had a few 9CUs out and Nightstar died, then we killed the 9CUs, then Siege went down. Once we had one Vickie left when Siege went down (and almost 2 9CUs which died a split second before Siege did), killed that Vickie, then dropped Nightstar. Got the badge. I was stunned actually, because I thought we had missed it, but someone must have gotten the kill in just in time.

Could lag be tricking me? Indeed. That being said, at this point, I think you can kill Nightstar if 9CUs are out and you can kill Siege if Vickies are out and still get the badge.

The badge text is somewhat misleading. When it says "defeat Siege and Nightstar" it means "win the trial", because truly defeating Siege and Nightstar is how you win the trial.


Issue 16 made me feel like this.

The reinforcements from when you fight them single should be a non issue as they die when the AV does. The only reinforcements you should have to deal with are the ones that spawn during the double AV fight.

Thank you StratoNexus, that was what I asking above. Phew, this seems tough to manage.

This is correct, as long as all of the Reinforcements are defeated by the time the last AV drops, you'll still earn the badge.

So, this refers to the strong and pretty topic doesn't it? But how does it have anything to do with it?


A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!

*Sigh* Yes, it was. Never mind out attempts at levity, let us return to the topic at hand.

Right, and that topic was whether people being able to roll WM/EA brutes without first getting the Strong and Pretty badge is a bug or WAI, correct?

I have a SS/EA Brute and a WM/WP Tanker. I think that makes me Strong Enough and Pretty Enough.
