DiB Shivan Defeats Progress?

I haven't tried the DiB trial yet, and I know i21 introduced "new shivans", so I'm wondering if the shivans of DiB count towards Man In Black? I LOVE that badge for titles, but it's such a pain to find them outside of bloodybay to get it. I'm guessing DiB is a huge shivanfarm-esque map the way the badges talk about them fighting each other in it?

There's maybe 40 or so shivans you kill during the trial.

Already have the badge on the only character I've done it with, so I can't say if it counts toward it.

I'm assuming you mean heroside it's a pain. (And... eh, maybe. You can get them in Ouroboros as well, the intro arc, IIRC.) Villainside, Dr. Aeon plays with them a fair bit, so you can either get it at level or (again) via Ouro.

Think I've run the trial twice... and I can't say for sure if I had progress on someone or not before hand. Check the group name on them - see if they show up as Shivans or Neo-Shivans (I think is the other "name" for them.) if the second,t hey probably don't count. (I don't believe the ones in the tutorial do, either... can't say for sure they're the same group, though, or there's a specific exclusion for them.)

See my Guides and Tutorials

My blaster has the badges for DiB. He had 0 Shivan defeats recorded, until just now when I took him to BB and killed one to make sure the counter appears. Now he has 1 defeat on the counter.
