Ouroboros Pillar Flashbacks & Badges

Hello

I know the ability to use the Aspect of the Pillar, for replaying old storyarcs, came out quite a few years back, yet I was wondering if there was ever going to be a solve for letting heroes/villains get the Accomplishment Badges they missed? Such as Agent, or Pwnz. I mean can play those missions but yet they dont award the badges that some of us missed... especially those old characters that were around before the badges were created.

Thanks

Weird. I must be out of touch with what I used to know about badges then. Must have picked one I already had a badge for. XD Okay different question why do some have stars with a yellow title? That just mean the arcs I have completed at one point or time?

if I've got no team, and can't think of anything else to do, I'll often pop into Oro and do some badge missions. Never had a problem getting the badges for Flashback stuff. And yeah, I think the ones with the stars are the ones you've completed.


@craggy see me on Union for TFs, SFs (please!) or just some good ol fashioned teaming.

Thanks dudes. For whatever reason I picked the wrong mission thinking it was going to give me one of the badges I needed... was wrong already had that one. ;p Just did the CORRECT one and got the badge this time! So happy! Sorry to false alarm anyone

Though I did get the story badge, "Spirit Warrior", I didn't get my set parameter badge (No Defeats) though at the same time. That being "All For One, One For All".

EDIT - also to note that the yellow star does indeed mean its a storyarc you have complete before. As my just complete missions was yellowed and starred when I got back to Ouro

one of the only badges i know you cannot get through flashback is efficiency expert from doing efficiency expert pithers mishs without failing any, this badge is a 1 shot deal either you get it or you dont

This is a long-standing issue with Ouro badges. Badge missions will not award any of the Challenge badges, for any of the parameter settings. So you'll have to do them separately, and run through the different challenge settings on non-badge missions.

That is WAI. The issue is that the Challenge options screen should not appear for badge missions, but does. Supposedly, it was something that they're planning to fix, but the bug has been there for an awfully long time now, so maybe they've decided there's no practical solution available.

Yes, they do. That's how my badge hunter, who was already a level 50 hero before Going Rogue launched, got all the villain-side mission badges.

Yep. Specifically, it means you have the SOUVENIR for that arc. There are a handful of arcs that are bugged and don't award the souvenir. These arcs will never get the star next to them (until it gets fixed).

Hero flashbacks, with notes as to which are badge missions:

Villain flashbacks, with notes as to which are badge missions:

The Negotiator badge flashback is bugged due to Galaxy City changes and Efficiency Expert has never been (and probably never will be) in the flashback system.
