Why was the Living Dark Exploration Marker removed from the Abandoned Sewer Network?

It wasn't removed, it was relocated. The HC wiki page has the current info: https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Living_Dark_Badge

 

If you use vidiotmaps, you may also need to update those as well. The latest maps are at this link: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/3523-vidiotmaps-for-issue-24-and-beyond/page/18/?tab=comments#comment-374458

Click the link AboveTheChemist pasted in the message above your message. It shows an in game picture of the badge location and its in game coordinates in the Abandoned Sewer Network.

You can also pewpew the mobs to get a tip mission that points to the badge.  The map mod is great,  but if you dont want to use it,  killing mobs for explore badge tip missions works.

So...where is the lab?  Marker location is inaccessible.

 

Is this a mission exploration badge now?  Does the arc need to be done?

The marker is accessible. Your version of vidiotmaps is outdated. My prior post in this thread (the second post, right below the OP) has more details.

That only works for those zones with Portals currently.    The plan is to eventually have explore tips for all zones, but it is a bit of work, so those were the first zones done.   (paraphrasing from the patch note discussion at the time)

 

But yes, updated vid maps and the wiki all point correctly now.   Though I've done my share of teleporting people to the badge for ease of discovery

Thanks, didnt realize about the Modder and thought I was up to date.

But seriously, why was it moved?  Was there a story reason, or what?

It seems that a new Dr. Vahz arc in the 30s was created a couple years ago .

 

Im more surprised that the sewer layout changed than the marker was moved.  Using a dated map didnt help anything at all I can say.
