Hi Guys,

was gently scrolling through my badges when I noticed that the 3 event badges (Clothes Horse et al) had new artwork. That had passed me by, so I hit the Wiki and see that they were changed for I18! (Note to self - pay more attention!)

However same page, I see that the 200 badge badge as above is still an odd one out as well and wondered if you had seen anything about that being changed?

Totally not important, but just jars on my sense of order like an out of reach itch

And are there any other "odd" badges still out there?

Cheers

As it turns out I think the "new" artwork for those Halloween clothes badges wasn't really new. I think what they did is "reassign" some previous artwork they had in the code that wasn't being used to those badges. Those skull badges were placeholders for earlier badges that never got added to the game.

When the 'count' badges got a face-lift when Praetoria got added to the game they changed all the artworks to match except for Trailblazer. I really have no idea why they didn't bother to change Trailblazer to match all the others they changed. It is "odd" at best. Based on where it exists in the badge list (far separated from the other count badges) I almost think they might have forgotten about it, which sadly would not surprise me in the least. *shrugs*

The only other "odd" badge I can think of at the moment was the Rescuer badge which, like the Halloween clothes badges, existed in the game for a few years without its own unique artwork. To my knowledge they've never let any other badges go "artless" like that.

I believe the only other "odd" badge artwork still in the game is Villain stature badge 7, which is used for Skip Tracer and Portal Hopper. The bottom half of the badge should have two dots instead of just one. It's been wrong since City of Villains went live nearly 6½ years ago.

Hi Guys,

just a huge thanks to Blondeshell and all at Badgehunters (you know who you are) for this small but perfectly formed update.

At last an "Itch Free" play session.

Goes off to caress badge section listings..... (how sad is that lol)

Cheers
