Techwright Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I've been curious about this myself, most especially if a hard number can be had. There are variables, I think, like the "Bug Hunter" badge, which was obtainable in the original game if you submitted documentation of a serious game bug and the devs liked your efforts enough to reward you with the badge. I'm not sure that's still being handed out, but if so, it's extremely rare. There's also the blue/red issue, possibly. While we can cross the line of hero/villainy, I think I'd once heard that there were certain side-specific badges that neutralized other side-specific badges. This was only heard, mind you, so I could be wrong. There may be other total-count variables I've not heard in rumor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roderick Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Go to Badger, create a new character, make sure the filters are clear and the dropdown for badges per page says "All", and then click the checkbox at the top of the list that selects everything currently listed. The counter will change to say 1530, but if you go to your character list it will say 1532. I'm not sure what the discrepancy is. 1 hour ago, Techwright said: I think I'd once heard that there were certain side-specific badges that neutralized other side-specific badges. Not exactly. There are several badges that have different names depending on whether you're Hero or Villain, and even some with a different name if you started as a Praetorian. Also, there are some badges that you can complete the requirements for, but you won't earn them unless you're the right alignment. However, once you earn them, you'll keep them if you switch back. There used to be some that you'd lose if you switched side (the ones that give power-granting accolades, IIRC), but I'm pretty sure they were changed before side-switching even left the test server.

The 'Bug Hunter' and 'Flames of Prometheus' badges are special case badges. The way KeyboardKitsune has the Badger site set up at the moment, those two badges count towards your character total but not towards the badge counter on the badge collection page. Thus the discrepancy that you see above.

EmperorSteele Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) The current highest amount is 1525, but there's still a few badges that haven't come up yet, such as the some of the Valentines badges and the Nemesis event badge. Some other badges, like the anniversary badges, can only be obtained during the month of May. At the current moment, if you started right NOW, and somehow got all the currently achievable badges in like, a week, the most you could get is about ~1460, because you wouldn't be able to get most of the Halloween/Winter Event/Valentines/anniversary badges (though some of the winter badges can be bought with candy canes), nor "Until the End of the World" for the 1500 badges badge. [EDIT] it occurred to me that getting all the day jobs would take longer than a week, but, you get the point!

Display Name Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I've seen a toon with 1600 badges. He claimed that it was the max. When I did a search (can't find it now) the max was 1604. I mentioned this to him but he said that the extra 4 were "pick one." 1 @Super Whatsit Superbase passcode (Excelsior) is "passcode-6475" It's all a Nemesis plot. But not everything is a Nemesis plot!

And then you have the annual badges and anything added to the game that brings a badge with it. So it's possibly higher now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemming Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Current official number on Homecoming as of the last issue is 1600. There are a few badges that do not count toward the total such as Bug Hunter. (ATC covers this above) There will be more added. 3200 hours for Dayjobs, so 19 weeks, 8 hours. If you get your timing perfect. (Patrol can be gotten during the rest of the collection) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glacier Peak Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) There's also a different max badge count depending on whether you're collecting as a gold sider or if you are sticking hero or villain only. The four badges that are in the game that don't count towards the total are: April Fools Badge Bug Hunter Flames of Prometheus All the same badge* V.I.P. / Destined One Temporal Warrior Praetoria's Son / Praetoria's Daughter Edited July 28 by Glacier Peak Added how it looks in game with one of the non-counted as a title.

Those were changed back on Live so that if you earned them and changed sides, the respective badge for your new alignment was auto-awarded. This led to several players figuring out which version was quickest/easiest to get and then side-swapping as needed to get the easier version since they would then always have that accolade power regardless of what alignment they decided to settle on or primary. (Not saying that's a bad thing. Just saying what happened. I'm fine with players doing that.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Shocker Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Quite a few. I'm guessing the OP's ancient summer research project came to naught! There's a fine line between a numerator and a denominator but only a fraction of people understand that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
