lemming

The icon doesn't pop up often, but as noted, near the tunnel entrance is usually good. I got it to build time a little north of the psychiatrist day job a couple days ago. If you're unsure, you can log off and log back in to double check. Dark Astoria has a similar issue, but again, near the tunnel works

There are some forum posts on the the various badges and how to get them. hcwiki is good. The Marchand badges are good to read the arc notes for so you don't miss them. SBB, DFB, and DiB are fairly easy, and if you ask about badges when starting them, people normally know how to get them. Some I'm just letting the attrition on defeats go along to get a few of the newer shard ones. I still need the top of Damage dealt & taken ones (and I'm vet level 153 now) Still working on a couple Master badges. A couple could be knocked out if I just went and applied myself. 😄 Got the final one from Keyes yesterday and now up to 1513.

I lean toward tall characters, but I do run all over the place. And most of my characters have a min height form for caves. A few of those are "remote robots" or some such

Some of my chars have different stuff for each costume slot, others not much different. Though most of my tall chars have a short version for caves. I do tend to customize power colors before anything else.

Not entirely sure how helpful this would be, but if you can survive Red Widow in the Valentine's arc and since you can't kill her, you could hit her up for damage. I did see damage done (and taken) work toward the badges. Might be a couple other missions out there where you can't actually defeat the target, but wrack up damage done.

They are attainable via Oro. You don't really switch alignment in those cases, it's just making the choice. As far as I can tell on my badge hunter, there aren't any that are unattainable. The one Praetorian that isn't available via flashback is the Avid reader badge that is gotten via reading options in the tutorial, but that is then attainable via Prometheus' verbage after you have done a Incarnate Trial.

I have using a pop menu for checking badges, I think this is the one

This is my character on Excelsior that has all exploration badges, and it does show 459 of them. I haven't looked thru your entire list, but one "Invader" is an accolade for getting all the Mayhem exploration badges.

Minor portion of my spreadsheet, but yes, I track dayjob process, some accolades and badges. Been working on something better for tracking though it's just in the design stage. Just the one account. The stalker & controller that are not 50 are doing other things. The 50s are slowly being outfitted. I tend to respec at 50, populate with generic 50 IOs and then let them work on their sets. Only 31 done, 18 waiting on respec, and 15 waiting on IOs. Blaster 11 11 Brute 8 8 Controller 6 5 Corruptor 4 4 Defender 1 1 Dominator 2 2 Mastermind 3 3 Peacebringer 0 0 Scrapper 5 5 Sentinel 12 12 Soldier 1 1 Stalker 2 1 Tanker 10 10 Warshade 0 0 Widow 1 1

I have started playing my Elec/Elec Brute again, and the KB has always annoyed me, but I picked up some KB protection that solves the issue. At least the occasional KB when I'm in the middle of Lightning Rod. 😄 She was my first redside char back on live and second char rolled up here. I find I still prefer melee for most days, though I do have a healthy crop of ranged chars.

Sorcery Pools Mystic Flight gives you that TP with flight, so you don't have that drop. Though I usually just fly, the TP does get me past inconvenient mobs at times.

Couple items I'm working on: 1) Level to 50 with a Praetorian without coming over. At level 39 currently. 2) Leveling a char solely on exploration badges and getting all dayjobs before continuing. 3) Have a level 50 with every AT. I just can't get into PB & WS. I do have all the others so far (plus every powerset in Sentinals represented, might do it for others. just not all combos, because that would be a lot more than time available.

I was OK with the Valentine Tips that I couldn't deliver to the primal locations, but I can't even dismiss them. All i get is "I don't talk to people from an alternate reality" This would be fine if I could get rid of them and maybe get a Praetorian delivery. If those are even an option since two of them might be. At least I think the Vanessa DeVore one has the option for delivery into a zone I can go into.

What I have done for a long time was playing a few different characters to 50, then parking them for a bit until I respec and outfit them with generic IOs. Recently slowed down on making alts and only have two not at 50. (One is a placeholder that is only at level 3 currently from exploration badges, and the other is a Praetorian that is slowly working to 50) 50s tend to get parked until I respec and replace all the lower level IOs with 50s. 29 have gotten that, 20 are waiting for a Respec, and 15 are waiting to get their enhancements. Most of the 29 have been played enough to get their incarnate slots and to have a three level shift. I tend to play my main, who is my badger, in Flashback mode to finish up all the arcs. (~30 to go, a couple arcs per week) The others, it depends on what I want to play at the time.

Hmm, one would be tough because I like playing different ATs depending on my mood. Maybe my Bio/Fire tank since it's fairly flexible. I slowed way down on how many alts I have (though I have ~40 names in reserve), I'm only up to 66 chars of which two are not 50. (And the other two for reasons)

Only teammates in the zone get teleported to you. And this will prompt the tp prompt if enabled. Team Transporter gives plenty of time for someone to head over to it. I've been in another zone and managed to come back and use the TT Oro portal does stick around after the summoner uses it. I've used it by putting an oro portal down, transporting to oro, logging out, and logging in a low level char without it that was in the area of the oro portal placement and being able to use it.

Same issue here with the blackness on a Win 7, 64 bit.

Well, this is annoying. Doesn't look like my resistance member who is level 33 can switch to Loyalist via Oro. Did a choice mission and while I picked Loyalist, no change after. Currently, I have the Blue side versions of the Caregiver, Banker, and Day Trader

Yes, once you switch, you get the badge.

I can confirm that Architect and Midnighter badges are available for Praetorians. The 12 Blue & Red badges are the only ones unavailable. I'd have to check on the three badges that may be different if Resistance/Loyalist

I have finished all the blueside arcs with my main, only started finishing up the redside. All badge missions have been done though. Every so often, I'll run a couple arcs, so it's a longterm goal

It's not acting multiple choice. I tend to skip Lightning Clap and always take Lightning Rod and Chain Induction. My first brute was an Elec/Elec on Live on launch of CoV and recreated her as one of the first chars of mine on HC. My favorite Sapper hunter.

Odd. I usually park myself on top of the ferry and just got the badge last night on one of my chars. If you are blue side, you won't get the badge, but you will see progress and if you hover over the badge, will see how much is filled. If it does not show anything with the bar full, you'll get the badge when you switch alignment to red. Though doesn't sound like you're getting progress at all. Do you see the dayjob in your effects? (What the heck is that called under your status bar? (coffee deprived)

Ether Bunny (Psi/Energy Blaster) Pavlov's Bull (Staff/Bio Brute)

Just ran 7.26 from Shadow Spider "Crimson Hunt" and sappers counted. Running 7.38 Black Scorpion's "Armor Wars" in the mission "Find info on Quatrexin", the sappers did not count.
