Oro Badges

Is there some trick to getting Oro badges for running debuffed or with no travel powers? I have run a bunch of Oro missions lately and run a few with the debuffs on as part of the mission settings, but not gotten the badges at the end. Are there some missions that don't give the awards? I know the debuffs were on, for instance no travel powers was painful, but in the end I got bupkiss.

Thanks guys, the stories I ran were not single missions, but I will keep hacking at it and see if I can figure out what I am doing wrong.

I've been slowly working my way through all the badges while running DA flashbacks.
Just got my Gold Medal and No Temp powers tonight.

It doesn't need to be a "single mission" arc to not give the flashback badges. It needs to be a 'badge mission'. For example, "The Redemption of Alexander" is a 3-mission arc, but it's a 'badge mission' (Redeemer badge) so it is not eligible to earn flashback badges.

Last night I ran the Wilcott Hollows arc with no travel powers after checking to make sure I did not have that badge already. To the best of my knowledge that is not a badge arc, and is not a single mission, but still did not award the no travel badge. I appreciate the oro ability to get badges and do not mind running missions, but I really wish I understood what was going on better. At the moment I seem to get the badges at random, and that is a bit frustrating. I will keep at it, but it is a bummer to walk all over the place and not get the badge.

This may not apply to you. I don't know if it's since been "fixed," but I recall going for those badges on my main, a Peacebringer, and the Kheldian arcs did not qualify (for whatever reason, broken, or WAI, I never got an answer to) for the Ouro badges.


Q. Just wondering Posi, where are the new dance emotes we were told would come with GR?

1387 badges, and counting

Well, that sounds broken. You're right that it's not a 'badge mission' so it should work for the flashback badges. I'd file a bug report.

The badge missions not awarding credit is WAI but the first Ward arcs didn't seem to be awarding credit either

I just did the Wincott missions for Oro badges within the past two weeks, and got all the badges associated with the various limitations (No Travel, Debuffed, etc.). Maybe last week's patch broke it? Haven't run one since that last patch...

EDIT: Just ran Strange Case of Benjamin Decker with the No Travel Powers option, and I was rewarded Suspended afterwards. However, I didn't receive it until after I did a contact follow-up after the last mission. Did you make sure to do so as well?


I find your lack of signature disturbing.

Badge credit for Ouro missions (additional difficulty challenges) seems to be spotty. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't even though it's not a badge mission.

I'm not sure what's happening, just that I'm having to do more arcs.

Yep, I always check in. If I had more time I would start spreadsheeting out which ones work and which ones don't. For instance the Ray Cooling one worked, despite being a badge arc. At this point I just put it down to the luck of the draw. It would be nice if there was a simple way to know, but there does not seem to be one so I will just keep at them. I am trying to get the whole set eventually, so I can always double back if I have to, but I would rather go through new content when I can.

I'm pretty sure the You have flashbacked to x number of mishes awards when the final mish completes even for badge arcs but the challenge badges don't award until the TF is called in and don't work for badge arcs and a few others.

This is correct. I have been working on these recently on my 2nd badger, and I have been getting them as you described above.

# of flashbacks done badges award for any mission/arc done in Ouro, and award once the last mission is completed.

Challenge badges are awarded for story arcs done, and after you call the contact back after the last mission. Note that this precludes missions like Spelunker, which is a single mission, but includes story arcs that happen to award badges, like Roy Cooling.

I am trying to get the Villain side introduction badges thru Ouroborous and I can find the "Price of Friendship" arc but it won't let me start it. Click on the text and nothing happens. Is this a known bug? I am full villain when doing this.

Okay found out you have to complete the Firewire arc first to be introduced to LT Harris. Nothing to see here. Move along.
