getting 13 badges on logging in and then having almost 1260 badges by the time i finish getting the first ward explores will be awesome, i fully expect most badgers to have this stuff within 2 weeks though (except day jobs)
Two Weeks...try 2 days for the hardcore :P
Anybody know if the lower level arcs are going to be available through Obo?
56 attempts later, Master of the Keyes Island Reactor. Bite Me, Anti Matter.

I always figured that since the Devs pretty quickly nerfed all of the original "double-time" Day Job badges that if they ever added any new ones they'd be pretty well tested to be "single-time" only. I just didn't think they'd ever make the same "mistake" again.|

Four more Day Jobs isn't that big a deal - we'll be done with them again before the end of the year.

Tour Guide - If they've fixed the last encounter since I've played it in March, it should be possible to do on a PUG with difficulty.
Preservation Specialist - I will loathe PUGs for this badge.
Avatar Assassin - Yeah, right. I think whoever is designing badges for the Incarnate Trials should be fired.

Triumph: White Succubus: 50 Ill/Emp/PF Snow Globe: 50 Ice/FF/Ice Strobe: 50 PB Shi Otomi: 50 Ninja/Ninjistu/GW Stalker My other characters
I would rather fight solo against an army of Kronos Titans that have Arachnos Flyers for air cover on my weakest character, stripped of all IO and incarnate power and under major debuffage, then seek out new Day Job or Zero defeat Mo badges......
....but I'm just strange that way.
Yeah I haven't been on the UG trial since the Avatar's powers have been reduced so I don't even know where an IDF bomb is/if there's a timer for it. Do they auto-explode after a set time?
If so, is that timer on the trial UI?
If not, then we just have to defeat a random IDF bomb at the same time the Avatar dies? Yeah....that'll be annoying.
Edit: Looks like I'll need to make EI a villain again so that he can run the villain arcs for the new lowbie lvl badges 
heh

I'm guessing about 2 months for me to get all the badges (not incl. the day job ones)
I just finally got the Loves a Challenge (and Master of KIR) badges a week or two ago....silly night shift work.

The more people complain about Day Jobs, the more I love 'em!
I feed off your anger! Ah-hahahahaaa! 
And yes, the First Ward missions will be available via Flashback, but there's no badges awarded from any of them, other than the various Kill X badges. As such, my badger won't be running them.
I will be running the arcs for Aaron Theiry and Twinshot, then changing (yet again) to Villain to grab the Lt. Harris and Dr. Graves arc badges, and then heading back to Vigilante (again once more with feeling one more time).

I havent played the new arcs yet (the badge ones), but can we not flashback to them? We are going to have to find a lower level to go with? *Sigh*

All seven arcs in FW and all six training arcs are flash-backable. The FW arcs are labeled part one-seven and the training arcs unlock as you complete the previous one, with part one already unlocked.

The part I find humorous is the people who currently have pretty much every badge in the game bothering to specifically "complain" about new Day Jobs. Sure they may not like what they have to do to get them, but everyone knows they're going to get them anyway. |

Just because I'll do it, doesn't mean I have to like it. In fact, that's pretty much why I find it annoying.

My retired alts will all be dropped into the new DJ spots, my badgers wont bother with these until the other new stuff is wrapped in about a day or 2.

Again if you find them annoying that's fine. I don't actually consider them a bed of roses myself.|

I just continue to find it funny when obsessive badgers openly whine in the forums about Day Job badges when we all know they are going to do them regardless. It's kind of like mountain climbers complaining about climbing the last 10 feet of Mount Everest. Sure it might be a pain to do but since you're going to do it anyway what's the point in being overly and/or vocally upset about it?
Besides as we all know the "effort" to get them has always been relatively insignificant. To me it's almost on the same level as people with TV remote controls complaining that it's too much trouble to push the buttons. I suppose complaint for complaint's sake will always just be funny to me.

My reasoning is this: there are plenty of day jobs now with 6 blue and 6 red dayjobs that are alignment specific and can only be obtained after parking for 21 days after alignment changing, for those that got to collect them all. Of these 4 new ones it looks like 2 offer the same rewards that other Dayjobs already provided (unless i misread), so now we bascially have 4 goldside Dayjobs, 2 of which appear to be redundant. |

Conclusion: there are enough dayjobs already.

I could easily live the rest of my CoH playing days without any new Day Job badges. But if the Devs were inclined to give us new ones every month from now on I wouldn't be terribly upset either. It's up to the Devs to decide what they think is "enough" of them using whatever rationales they wish.
