Badger and VidiotMaps show wrong info for Disciple badge

[ZekeStenzland]

Boomtown Plaque #2 is listed as a Disciple plaque in both VidiotMaps and Badger. It (currently) is not required for this badge. The progress bar correctly tracks X of 6, not X of 7.

 

This plaque is described as "Boomtown-2648.0 5.0 3055.0 ".

 

Not sure how to get this info to the owners of VidiotMaps or the Badger site. Or any of the other tools, like the popmenu tracking optimal exploration/history paths by zone.

I'm looking into it. If it does turn out to be an error I can either directly correct, or submit corrections to, all of those resources. I've encountered badges that don't track correctly before, so my initial guess is that is likely what is happening here.

Yeah, I reported it in Bug Forum too. 
 

Whike that plaque isn’t required for the badge, it does force the badge progress to appear in the Badge >> History tab, with no progress bar. So it’s not clear to me what fix they will make, if/when they get around to it.

Thanks for looking into this!

I left a more detailed reply there. As you noted, when/if this will be corrected is uncertain, and I think this is a minor enough issue that it won't hurt to wait on updating Badger, VidiotMaps, etc. until it is potentially resolved. Thanks for bringing it up, though! I was a bit embarrassed at having previously been to the Disciple wiki page several times and not having noticed the historical notes there before that alluded to this issue.

Fair enough. It's not like clicking on that plaque will prevent folks from getting the Disciple badge.

 

I noticed it because I do all the exploration and history badges in tiers. I'd noticed that the plaque count from VidiotMaps didn't match the progress bars. But when I'd visited all the plaques in the zones, I got Disciple anyway. Just took me a while to remember this and care enough to track it down.
