I am frankly amazed that anyone is still badge hunting.
Doom.
Yep.
This is really doom.
I commend all who are playing the game as they best enjoy it!
cohRock - After tonight's CoH project I'll unlock the mission on an alt then copy them to Beta. Once they're ready I'll contact you.
Wow that one is so easy you should be able to solo it unless you have a non combative character

The AM is a common part of ALL my hero builds. Since I would like Rued Rude Rudy to be as I would develop him on a live, the Spelunker badge is a necessary component to achieve this.

Llydia, thank you! I'll be watching for a tell.

Professor, reread my first post. You are correct, RR Rudy could easily solo this mission. The problem is that he cannot get it.

Finally got the Fortune Teller mission! Sorry it took me all night, but I had to roll a new alt (and then run through hoops with several detectives/radios/contacts) because it turned out all of my existing alts were level 20+.
Loading her to Beta now. It seems to be running slow.
I'm going to take an educated guess that you are sleeping right now and permit myself to do the same too. I'll send a /tell on live and post in this thread again once I'm back in the game. We'll play tag until you've got the badge. ;->
Wow, I'm amazed and thankful, Llydia. I was hoping that someone who already had the mission (or at least one of the three contacts) would respond. But instead, once again the CoH community proves how exceptional it is.
You were right; I was sleeping when you posted. I've been sleeping in spurts. Assuming you can get a solid 8 hours maybe we can meet up around 5 Eastern. I'll be on and off until then as well.

Apology's did not read post fully have a bad habit of just skimming stuff

cohRock - Actually, I want to thank you. It gave me a good excuse to roll up a staff fighting alt that I've always meant to try. Fun so far!
The character finally loaded up on Beta and the mission looks ready to run. *fingers crossed*
I'm going to log into Live for now and run some missions on my main. /t @Llydia when you are ready and I'll jump back to Beta.
Tag, you're it! 
It worked! Congratulations to cohRock on earning the Atlas Medallion!
Anyone else on Beta want the Spelunker badge? Let me know and I can make a fresh copy from Live.
Thanks again for giving me a reason to roll a new alt. Haven't done it in months and enjoyed the thrill of a new powerset combo all over again. 
Yes, it worked great! Thank you again Llydia.

I was always amazed anyone would badge hunt. They are, for the most part, useless baubles (didn't think of the atlas medallion). But now.. now I think it'd be pretty silly trying to cram in as many badges as possible only for them to be taken away en masse after the 30th.

I considered badging as an excuse to try to do EVERYTHING in the game, and to have a little reminder of the fact that I did indeed do it. Plus, I enjoyed trying to get "caught up" after each and every new issue with grabbing the ones I hadn't gotten from previous issues in between. Sadly, I will never get the badge I wanted the most: The Really Hard Way.
And as for them being "taken"? I look at it the opposite way. If I manage to earn them, no one can ever take them away... ever. But, well, the closure has affected people in different ways. I prefer to look at it as my characters forever being immortalized upon the shut-down... like Valhalla.

That's how some of these responses read to me.
I mean, if you enjoy doing it, then it's worth doing, yes? All the people that say, "there's no point now, because the game is being shut down"... but that assumes there ever WAS a point, beyond enjoying the game.

With the game being alive, you could at least look at the badges and e-caress them while chanting "mes précieux".

My level 39 brute (Rued Rude Rudy, SS/bio) is unable to get the Spelunker badge (via the "fortune teller mission") on the Beta server. I've encountered several hurdles:
1) The Ouroboros flashback for it is bugged. When you choose the mission, you are set to level 5 (instead of the proper 14). And while you have been put into Task Force mode, no mission appears in the Nav Bar.
2) Players do not seem able to get classic contacts between levels 10-14 (which is where the fortune teller mission would normally be granted). I tried with a friend for several hours. We did his midnight club arc at level 10 to get a classic contact. Montague never offered one. At level 11 my friend shut off xp so he wouldn't out-level the range. Then we started doing a series of scanner missions and safeguards to get a contact. No useable contact was ever offered. He would either get an inactive contact in the 15-19 range, or no contact at all would be offered.
3) We finally gave up, deciding there really was an actual bug involving contacts between 10-14. It could even be the underlying cause of the Ouro flashback for the fortune teller mission being bugged.
So, I'm hoping someone can help. The one thing I can think of that might work is for a character from a live server, who already has the fortune teller mission in his list, to be copied to beta. If you have such a character, and are willing to help, post in this thread. You can also contact me on both the live servers and the Beta server as @cohRock . Thank you.
