Idea for a completely new badge.

[natekat223]

Achievement: Absorb XXX amounts of damage with an absorb shield.

 

Badge Name: Cottonball

 

Not even sure if something like this can be implemented, but I feel everyone can earn this badge with the help of others and or the absorb proc in preventive medicine. Just an idea I had.

AFAIK, "absorb" is treated no differently than taking damage - it's just an extra layer of HP that must be depleted before your actual HP get reduced...

Dang, was afraid of that. Oh well, ty for that info though!

New Badge Idea

 

Day Job location:  Winter Forest

 

Badge name:  Santa's Helper (hero) / Krampus Aide (villain)

 

Benefit:  Something along the lines of a timed bonus to your chances of finding candy cane drops in missions, opening presents, etc. (only works during the Winter Event when candy canes actually drop), or perhaps a discount on how many candy canes are spent with the elf in the ski lodge (which could work all year round if your day job timer is active).

 

Badge graphic:  A simple holiday tree for heroes and maybe a Krampus face or broken candy cane for villains.

Yes, I know I'm early for the holidays...

But these are the kind of suggestions that get lost DURING the event because it's the holidays and no one is interested in doing any developing then.

It may not be implementable as this, but perhaps as "Grant <3x larger> amount of absorb shield", counting both self- and ally- absorption (the larger amount assumes that not all generated shield is used, maybe 30-40%)?  Then you could have a full set of 6, as a counterpart to the "Medic" line of achievements.

 

Worded like this though, without checking if that Absorb was used, it'd be trivial to get with certain powers (like my /Ice blaster's sustain, which constantly generates an absorb shield).  Though, to be fair, you can get the Medic line by granting +Max HP with Rebirth Destiny, so... not terribly problematic.
