    If your enhancements are all attuned, you would lose the set bonuses once you go more than three levels below the set's lowest level.

    I just wanted to reiterate this.  I built toons with good enhs, but then was being crippled upon being exemplared.  And then I started using attuned enhs.

     

    Pro-tip: you can't find "attuned" enhs from the search bar in the auction house menu.  You have to click the plus sign next to "Enhancements" underneath it and begin your search there.  And it will take some getting used to before you're able to quickly find enhs.

    Defender.  Hear me out.

     

    You want squishy -- don't compromise, go full squishy!  The cheat, and make a Storm Defender.

     

    The biggest soloing tool you'll get, however, is Hurricane.  A knb-to-kd converter will make it less chaotic, but really you don't care, since you're solo.  Slot it up and everything you tag will be essentially unable to hit you, even after it's out of the hurricance for 10 more seconds.  Touch foes every 10 seconds and you're all but invincible (except against AVs, EBs and Giant Monsters, who resist the debuff).  Carry a few break frees for the occasional mezz that leaks through and you'll be fine.  Meanwhile it's thrilling dominating enemies with Lightning Storm and Tornado knocking them down and beating them up while you debuff and blast, knowing you're only staying alive because you're actively taking it to the enemies aggressively.  As long as you keep them rocked back on their heels you will crush...as soon as you get timid or slack off, you're in trouble.

    Wow!  Reading this was so much fun!  I have a Storm Defender!  I love 'em!  I'm going to try Storm out on a Controller next!

  3. Arena badges!  Wow!  We just got ours tonight!?  It was relatively glitch-free with experienced badgers.  So it probably took about an hour?  But I *have* done it before where it took about the same amount of time and not a single person received one badge!?  Or maybe one person did who only needed the one badge and bailed afterwards.

  4. Er...  So the past week or so I've been out of work (no worries...yet.)  But the good news is that I broke my first 1000!  I actually broke it yesterday evening (March 27,) but someone just suggested to me that I post it here!?  It didn't occur to me that it was my first 1000 because it seems like I've been badging *forever!*  Lol!  I've included the creation date.

  5. When I joined a league going after the Keyes badges, we specifically trained for the Green Stuff badge.  The league leader had an AoE power that froze the ground that he colored green and even designed a costume similar to Dr Keyes'.  Even so, it tooks us about a dozen attempts over a few days to get it.

     

    You can FARM the Empath badge by getting the Rebirth Total Core Invocation (T3 is fine) and then travelling to Mercy Island.  Near the P2W agent is a large group of stationary Arachnos soldiers that you can auto-fire while afk.  It took me about 3 nights or so for my Blaster (!?) to get the Empath badge.  Great conversation piece!  Lol!

     

    Someone showed me a way to farm damage taken in the Maria Jenkins arc.  There's a lava pool in the last mission.  SOMEHOW, they told me to get into a Rest position and then slide into the pool.  I did this and was being damaged at 91/sec or so.  The next day I tried to do it again, but I couldn't stay in a Rest position and enter the pool.  I never found the person again to figure out how they did that.

  6. Anyway, with all of these silly distractions aside, most of what I would like to see *personally* is simply to fix the existing badges that aren't working correctly!

     

    It's hard enough getting the ones we have already without adding more!?  I haven't reached 1500, yet!  Lol!*

     

    *not that I'm suggesting you guys slow down on adding them!  Lol!

    A level 1 anything can go to Grandville, it's no more restrictive than Peregrine Island and unlike PI there's even a nice P2W vendor right off the ferry to make a newbie's life easier.

    I understand what you're saying, but that's a workaround.

     

    For story purposes, not every toon can switch alignments.  I don't want a workaround to go to Grandville.  I want to go there anytime without making a stop by the P2W.  And vice-versa.

  8. The other day I pug'd a team on lfg and specified the Valet badge and a request for serious badgers only.  I got a GREAT team with two people who knew the tactics.  So I split half the team with one tactician and the rest of us followed the other.  Easy, peasy.

     

    A piece of advice: Stay on the ground!  If you aggro the Sky Raiders they'll start interfering (which might not matter, but you know...)

    Def Leppard responded by noting, "Geez, our drummer lost an arm, and we kept him in the band!"

    I remember that!  My friend noted that the drums on the next album (Hysteria?) were a lot simpler than previous albums!  But I was glad they kept him in the band, too!

    The Efficiency Expert badge is easy to get, the main problem is if you suffer a power or internet connection failure that doesn't get resolved in time.   So adding this to Ouroborus would be good.

     

    Arena: debug it and add the ability to have "arena bots" to fight in lieu of actual players.

     

    Not sure what you mean by unlock explore badges for everyone, at level 1 if you are a stalker you can go anywhere except the Hive, and Abyss, and PVP Zones.   so at level 1 you could ghost around and rack up a lot of map badges and plaques.

     

    Also a badge that I try t forget how much I hate is the Avoids the Green Stuff in the Keys Trial.  I grow weary of people not turning off their TP prompt, or having alleged lag spikes that keep them from moving away in time and thus costing that badge for the whole league.  Incandescence is great to have in that trial but ti doesn't guarantee a badge win.  Can be adjusted to fail only for the person or persons that get trapped and not the whole league?

     

    A level 1 Stalker can't go to Grandville, etc (if they're able to reach all the locations you described.)

     

    The other solutions sounded good.

  11. In Port Oakes, there is a contact named Lord Schweinzer.  He's the contact for Mayhem Missions.  But he isn't marked on the map until you find him (he's on the porch of the house on the cliff above the submarine in the nw corner.)

     

    Should this be added to Vidiots?  I ask because he's initially hidden.  Why do they have him hidden like that?  It seems to be intentional.  Maybe they do that to illustrate the clandestine nature of 'paper missions?

     

    Edit: Whoops!  He *does* have a marker if you're red!?  I'm still not used to the (subtle) mechanics of alignment yet!?

  12. Ugh!  The Mayhem Missions was updated similar to the Safeguard Missions in that you can get a particular badge and bypass the newpaper missions and get straight to the Mayhem!  But it wasn't updated LIKE the Safeguard Missions!  You have to hunt/beg chat for the contact's precise location!  For the Safeguard Missions, the contact is a clickable icon on your map!?

     

    So anyway, you'll need the Hero Slayer badge to start:

    https://n15g.github.io/badger/homecoming/badge/bloody-hands

     

    The contact is Lord Schweinzer in Port Oakes.  He's located on the porch of the building in the far nw corner of the map.  The Demogogue exploration badge is nearby, and the sub is below him in the water.
