For Dimensional Warder badge progress, which of the arcs do you prefer? A Hero's Hero: the original Maria Jenkins arc that awards the Statesman's Pal badge and 60 merits at the end, and 13 of 15 Praetorians in it that count toward Dimensional Warder? Shadow Hunter and Tyrant do not count. It is somewhat long arc,, I can blast through it in about an hour and 15 minutes. It is the only arc now that we can see Statesman in, not counting Who Will Die and the only way to get Statesman's Pal badge. Anti-Matter is not in the arc and must be gotten separately either from Tina Macintyre's Arc or the Keyes Trial. or A Hero's Epic: A more streamlined arc where at the end you face Olympian Guard, which is a knock off of Tyrant to free the captive Positron and get the Positron's Pal badge and 31 merits. Siege is not in it nor is Anti-Matter, both must be gotten separately. I can go thru this arc in about an hour. It is the only way to get Positron's Pal badge. So if you are dedicated to getting all the badges you do need to run both of these but just for the sake of Dimensional Warder, which one do you like? I prefer the original arc as it gives more merits and more progress on the badge, but mileage varies.

My nephew and i are trying to do some arena fights and the arena system is acting all buggy about setting up and launching the event. Update: found the problem: it seems the 64bit version of the client has a problem with the arena.

Anyone who could obtain a Master of Synapse badge would have truly earned that. 🙂 Seriously though, the discussion about the criteria for damage/money/heal badges is as old as the game itself. I am fine with their present criteria. As to new plaques, when I was mapping the presents in Khalisti Whard I found about 3 plaques but I suspect there are more. Perhaps KW should have its plaques enabled and explore badges added? Accolade badges for the History badges? hmmm maybe one for all redside history badges, one for all blue and one for all praetorian history badges As for having to be L50 to get all badges, you can just shut off XP and keep working the badges until they all ding. I prefer to get to 50 and slot up the alt then go back and obtain the badges either be street sweeping for defeat badges, or using Ouro. What I would like to see is the other incarnate powers brought online. That's 5 powers, one badge for each.

okay so for those that are gathering the 200 presents for Toy Collector and the gladiator badge during the event you have undoubtedly gained some inspirations in the form of presents but they are supposed to be a mystery as to what they are. Well there are 6 different kinds: 1. Damage booster 2. Stamina booster 3. Defense booster 4. Healing 5. Gift of Experience = 1 hour debt protection 6. Lump of coal They all look the same so you can't tell which is which right away. So here is what you could do 1. Put 6 inspiration storage bins in your base 2. Insert all presents in your inspiration tray into one bin. The bin will sort them by type but not ID them 3. Take one of the sets of presents out of the bin and stick those presents in another bin, repeat until all 6 bins have only ONE type of present in them 4. Now starting with Bin #1, take out one present. Right click it and select detailed info and scroll to the bottom and with 4 of the presents it will tell you what it does. 5. Put it back into the storage bin and then for future reference put one regular inspiration in the bin that corresponds to the type of presents in the bin. For example: presents that offer damage boost, insert a red inspiration into the bin so that you know what is in there. Repeat this for the stamina, heal and defense presents. 6. Now for the 2 types that do not show data: if you put them all in one bin they will show as two stacks, so make sure that each type is in its own bin. Now open one from one of the bins and see what it is: if it is the gift of experience, I insert a break free into the bin to mark it. Break frees help prevent debt by waking you up from stuns/holds/sleeps so they technically correspond to the Gift of Experience. Once this is done then you know which bin has the lumps of coal in it and you do not need to mark it with an inspiration. Once you are done sending your alts around to gather presents you can then easily figure out which bins to dump them into, then when all is done you can sell the lump of coal presents on the market. The market has all 6 presents listed but doesn't seem to indicate which is which so some people are buying lumps of coal. There are no presents that act as orange inspirations, accuracy inspirations or awakens.

My main badge hunter right now is my blaster, Voltor My casual hunters include a Mastermind, tank, pb and ws with more to come at a later date. The heal badges, use the incarnate Rebirth Destiny to get heal badges or the old arena method still works too. badges for damage received can be gained the slow way or by farming. Same with damage inflicted upon enemies. Money badges: run farms Badges that may take a few runs to get: incarnate trials and the no Defeat Master badges in the TF's There really is no "best" AT to get all the badges with. Any AT can do it, but some power set combos may make it easier then others. The only badges that you need to jump on immediately to get are the Holiday events and special anniversary badges

There was never such a badge for TF's back in the first era of CoH. My badge hunters (bunters?) had them all prior to shut down, except Bug Hunter of course. I have heard no mention of a such a badge having been added to the game now.

I found no presents in Night Ward or Recluse Victory. Glitch? As to which zone is best for presents, well mileage will vary. For example: I do not recommend Atlas Park as that zone can be a bit crowded. Kings Row? Better have the ability to fly as some presents are atop tall buildings. Skyway? Forget it. Many levels, ramps, buildings, etc., and its a big zone. A winter lord team I joined in that zone took 15 minutes to find him after we received the alert that he had appeared. PvP zones make it more challenging. Also while there are those that like Super Speed as their travel power, remember you cannot run up walls and buildings. Super Jump can be good, but I prefer Flight + afterburner. As to the Winter Lord: every zone I mapped, I mapped it solo. Opening presents solo without killing snowmen did not trigger a WL spawn for me. Opening presents + killing snowmen until the badge for defeating 100 of them dinged while solo did not trigger a WL spawn. Any time I spawned him was on a full team opening presents until a naughty present triggered him. If there is another way to make WL spawn, great. Just stating how it was for me.

Here is the holiday map for First Ward. As with the previous maps, I have endeavored to be as accurate as possible with the placing of the gift icons. But as always, turn game music volume to zero and sound FX up to at least 30 and use your ears and eyes to find them. Also while you are there, go get the map badges and plaques., and avoid the Seed of Hamidon

Here is the holiday map for Neutropolis. As with the previous maps, I have endeavored to be as accurate as possible with the placing of the gift icons. But as always, turn game music volume to zero and sound FX up to at least 30 and use your ears and eyes to find them. Also while you are there, go get the map badges and plaques.

Here is the holiday map for Imperial City. As with the previous maps, I have endeavored to be as accurate as possible with the placing of the gift icons. But as always, turn game music volume to zero and sound FX up to at least 30 and use your ears and eyes to find them. Also while you are there, go get the map badges and plaques.

Well I spent some time in Nova Praetoria tonight and have constructed some maps for those that want to use Praetoria to get presents. As with the previous maps, I have endeavored to be as accurate as possible with the placing of the gift icons. But as always, turn game music volume to zero and sound FX up to at least 30 and use your ears and eyes to find them. Also while you are there, go get the map badges and plaques.

While sending an alt through Khalisti Wharf I found two present locations and added them to the map, along with a second Easter egg. The two white squares in the south east area of the map are tiny Easter egg pictures I used to mark the locations. Also adjusted the icon for a present in the northwest area. Also added yellow markers for plaques. clicking the plaques does nothing.

Yes, just get another duplicating gift and pass it on before it expires

Want to find presents in Khalisti Wharf? Here are all the ones I found. As always I tried to be precise but just go to the icon on the map and listen for the glowie if you don't see it.
