Badge system 

i've messed around a little with the test server, just to see the capes and auras. It's way too laggy in a lot of areas for me to actually enjoy it. The first time i log in after copying a character over, it says i've earned a new badge. the ones i have gotten are for getting lvl 20 and 30 i believe. I'm just curious if anyone has a link to or has seen a listing of the badges available, or has a little more information on them. I know there are 150 (maybe a little more) in all. I know some of them are for doing the various task forces, or for visiting a certain area or amount of areas. Also, does anyone know if they are retroactive, beyond the ones awarded just for levels. I would hate to think that because i haven't done all the task forces, i would have to make another character and do them all, just for badges alone. I've read somewhere that eventually, and it's a long way off, that there will be rewards for getting certain combinations of badges; such as increased max endurance, etc... Any information would be appreciated.

Re: Badge system 

yes the badages will be retroactive (when i logged in w/ my main i got badges for all the tf's i've done and a for my lvls).... as for a list i don't know all of them, but i know a lot of them are for killing 100 (yep 100) bosses from pretty much every group of bad guys... this one is not retroactive (as far as i've seen), and there are the tourisim badges which you get for visiting certain locations in game (there is a nifty little plaque on the ground in front of all of these places)

but i don't have the patcience to go on the offical forum just yet and look up all of them... maybe someone else has already done so and will be kind enough to post a link for us... *hint hint*

Unfortunately someone besides me is going to have to do this. I found out yesterday morning I need to make an emergency 2 week business trip leaving first thing Saturday morning. I have a lot of things I have to get in order before I go so that is going to be reality and priority from now until Saturday. I am going to do my best to check in with the forums on a nightly basis, but I honestly don't envision myself having the time to research much of anything.

Sorry about this, but someone is going to have to step up and research this or it is going to have to wait until I return sometime toward the end of the month.

Re: Badge system 

Probably the best list I can come up with:

http://www.upallnightgaming.com/Default.aspx?tabid=192

One for each task force
One for each trial
Story Arcs
Number of Badges badge
Amount of hp lost
Amount of debt/# of deaths
Amount of hp gained from healing
Length of time held/stunned/sleep
Amount of Influence gained
Level
Sidekick mentoring
Defeated 100 Bosses (one badge for each group)
Defeating Babbage
Defeating Adamaster
Defeating Juggernaught
Learning history of CoH
Respec Trial
Touring (you get badges for visiting places like getting on top the globe in AP)


Will post more if I find anything else out.

Re: Badge system 

That is the best list available. It looks like he got the list from the game somehow. I know of another site, in case slightly different directions help you finding some of those location badges (if you are looking for spoilers).

Another Badges list

The site uses frames, so this will just take you to the home page. Click the forums link, Mess Hall (forum), Everything you wanted to know about badges... There are two posts, one is location badges and the other is everything else the poster has found.

i'm trying to spread out getting the badges. my friends keep pestering me to play w/ them (something about an invasion or what not) so i grab a few here, and a few there, but slowly but surely i'm getting them.

Re: Badge system 

I have over 50. I've been working on the history ones. They're lots of fun too and give information on the CoH story.

Re: Badge system 

i've found another site that has the locations of the badges (and plaques!) that i felt was much better put together than the previous ones listed on this thread, thought i would share: http://www.aeyrie.net/coh/badges.php

Re: Badge system 

You deffinately seem to get badges for the silliest reasons. All I did was get within a few inches of the "hero corps." NPC outside the hospital in Steel Canyon and I was rewarded with a badge. I was just like "what the..."

Re: Badge system 

They give them out for locations (like visiting/paying tribute to fallen heroes or meaningfull events), or learning the history of P.C.



I guess I'm back then... :)

Re: Badge system 

also those badges you get from just walking around a place are just one group of the badges given out. there are many others than the exploration badges. i just got my "tough" badge (for taking 100,000 points of damage)

i myself like the tourism badges, it gives me somthing else to do in game than just kill, kill, kill. but i guess i'm a strange person when it comes to stuff like that

Re: Badge system 

I'm up over 60 of them now. I really like the location badges and the history ones (for reading plaques).

I also recently acquired my tough badge. Yay me! I'm not sure blasters should look to achieve them, but nonetheless, I have one now.

I also had that too, although personally i not sure that worth bragging about, if other heroes see that tough badge on you, they might not want to group up with you :)

Re: Badge system 

I think tough is fine, doesn't mean u died right? just got hit lots, which is easy enough. It's the debt badges (are there any? i heard there were, not sure though) that are worrying!
