Perhaps an account wide defeat badge after 10x the required number of defeats is achieved? I still don't love that but it seems reasonable. And as with all things, options are good so allow ppl to opt out should they desire.

Ultimately I'm not on board for account wide, free or purchasable badges or accolades. Maybe I'm a weirdo but I like that I have to earn them on each toon and learn the ins and outs of my toon to do so efficiently. I may discover that a badge or accolade is trivial to acquire on a Super Strength Brute but is much more difficult to acquire on a Mind Troller. I would never know that and I'd never have to develop a new strategy to be successful if the badge I got on the Brute counted for my other 120+ toons. If pressed I could probably get on board with account wide History badges though even then, that particular toon hasn't read those plaques so they would be ignorant of the lore contained within unless I RP that all my toons are a Borg Collective with a shared consciousness. If this came to fruition it wouldn't drive me out of the game but it would be somewhat diminished in my eyes.

That would be nice! Display it as current/max so you know at a glance that if you're at 980/1002, 1 more badge will cap you out and you won't get the full value out of that last badge.

Yes please! I'd also love a one in Galaxy City if we're doin a trainer pass!

I don't think we should be able to buy permanent stat buffs for our toons at any price. Make it 10 million per hour per accolade so you get 10 hours of all 4 accolades for 400 million. That would still be trivial for anyone with more money than time and since the buffs aren't permanent it wouldn't devalue the effort to get those accolades for those who would acquire/have acquired them the traditional way.

Update: Last night I completed the Percy arc, no bonus merits. Then I went back and did the arc with "Stop the Fir Bog" and completed it and BOOM! Bonus Merits! I think in the Fir Bog mission you have to kill 100 Fir Bog for it to end so it took a while! I've done that mission on teams before but somehow never realized that 100 kills was the goal.

I appreciate you calm logic and that's a fair assumption but imo, not a valid reason. It just doesn't make any sense to me that HC allows other unrelated servers to dictate what HC can develop. HCs approach to other servers should be that of Don Draper in the elevator, "I don't think about you at all". I don't expect anything to change but the whole concept really chaps my hide.

Oh! Son of a gun! Yes, I failed the Fir Bog mission! Dang, gotta re-do that one.

I don't think I got the Badge but I'll have to double check after work. I had out leveled the zone for 1 of the contacts and did the last arc through Oro. The crystal showed the other arcs as complete so the main 4 are definitely complete. I'll start with Percy tonight and hopefully that'll get me the bonus!

Do you think the KHTF is required for the bonus? I completed the 4 main contacts in Croatoa last night and did not receive a bonus but I also haven't done KH on this toon yet.

Oh, while I'm dreaming, I want HC to drop the asinine "if other servers have it, HC can't have it" rule. Why on earth should other servers have even the slightest bit of influence on what HC does? It's the dumbest notion ever conceived!

I want Mission TP to have the same activation time as TT.

Wonderful! Thank you folks! Croatoa was the zone I thought I completed last night and got me thinking about this but I forgot about Percy Winkley! I know where I'll be starting tonight!

I have a faint memory of reading that if you completed all the contacts in a zone you'd get bonus merits but I've only ever managed to get those bonus merits in the Hollows. Do any other zones get that bonus?

Yes please! That would finally let me get the 6pc Stupefy Def bonus without using the awful chance of KB proc!
