I filed a petition regarding the DA mission badges not being awarded.
The ultimate response was that this IS working as intended and ONLY the mission holder is supposed to receive the badge.
The problem is that almost all of these missions are team-completable. Which means that if you have auto-complete turned on, you now have to go to Ouroborous and do the ENTIRE ARC again if you want the badge for your own character, should you happen to have done someone else's mission.
I'm fairly annoyed by this. I can't find anywhere that they said that this was going to be the case. If the badge is only supposed to be awarded to the mission holder, it should NOT under ANY circumstances be team-completable.
The response I got from a very senior GM was (edited to remove GM identifying information, it's not his fault the devs screwed this up):
You are correct that there is currently a bug with this badge and how it is awarded. The Developers have informed us that the intended function for the new Achievement Badges is that they award to the mission owner when the objectives are completed.
There is also a bug that a teammate other than the mission owner can receive this particular badge.
In the instance you reported, the mission owner had also filed a petition and was granted the badge because of the bug that occurred. In general, we do not remove a reward from a player if it was granted due to a bug in the game, so we did not remove the badge from your husband, even though he should not have earned it.

I posted threads about these is teh Discussion area already but..
1. If you do the DA arcs as say, a duo, and stack the missions as you go, the Accomp badges will NOT award to the second person, unlike every other badge mission in game.
2. Sometimes the mission for person 2 will NOT have any location on the map..meaning you can not 'not' autocomplete it, then go do it again to get badges for person 2.
3. Sister Sol's badge mission is buggy as hell. Did it as a duo again, getting the badge for 'my' mission. Then, we selected my friends mission, did that and she did NOT get the badge, in spite of doing exactly the same thing.
4. The new hero arcs in Steel canyon. Did Sun Xiongs badge mission as part of a team, without having teh mission myself. I entered the mission first, then when we killed him...I got the badge, no one else. Not even the mission holder.
All these things I have petitioned and got replies for from support, saying that they are not working correctly (since I couldn't figure THAT out myself). Just letting people know..since it is REALLY annoying on some of these long and tough missions.
