Shouldn't Veteran Reward badges be added to this page somehow? TayJK 11:01, 8 December 2006 (PST)

Good catch. I added links to them. - Snorii 11:11, 8 December 2006 (PST)


Redirect

Should 'coh badges' and 'cov badges' redirect here? Kazail 09:33, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Certainly couldn't hurt. I went ahead and added the redirects. --Eabrace 11:30, 12 February 2009 (UTC)


Devs broke accolade nomenclature

Certain Issue 9 Badges will confer ingame benefits without being Accolades. (I think these are the first such badges in the game.) So when i9 ships, this passage will need to be updated. Hopefully I will remember, but if not, there is always this note. --Colonel Jasmine 10:51, 28 April 2007 (PDT)

In-game sequential lists

Many pages of badges have in-game sequential lists. Unfortunately, Homecoming changed a number of badge numbers, and these aren't very sequential anymore. I'm not keeping them up to date as I work on badge stuff; perhaps once I'm done I'll write a tool to construct the sequential lists automagically, but no promises.

I guess this might be one for AboveTheChemist, who has the whole Badger dataset conveniently to hand? But in any event it's the last thing to do once the other badge pages are sorted out. Thunderforce (talk) 20:22, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
The badge ordering is stored separately from the rest of the badge data, so I don't have easy access to that info, but I'll check into it. --AboveTheChemist (talk) 22:23, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
I stand corrected, the info was under my nose the entire time. Among the badge data files are separate files (for example, it's _accolade-badges.ts for Accolade badges) that contain the badge ordering info. I can look into it when we get closer to finalizing all the various badge updates, or if someone else wants to tackle it, let me know and I can point you to the proper files. --AboveTheChemist (talk) 02:47, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

New/Updated badges for Homecoming

I wasn't sure if this was best place to put this, but when I was building the new settitle list, I generated a list of the badges that have been added or altered for Issues 25/26. This included checking the Issue 25 and Issue 26 patch notes, the consolidated Issue 25 patch notes (accessed here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11cLJiSYlfueJheOumRywG8Evip2Mjmu_30Y6ePaetqY/), the patch notes on the Homecoming forums (here: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/forum/58-patch-notes/) as well as reviewing the badge tracker spreadsheet (which was the predecessor to the Badger site and can be found here: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/1331-badge-tracker-spreadsheet/), which noted many of the badges that were altered for Issue 25. In cases of disagreement, I deferred to the patch notes as found on this wiki. Any that I couldn't answer definitively, I noted below.

This list isn't necessarily comprehensive, but hopefully it is a good start. I also included a few badges at the top of the list from prior issues that had minor name changes (usually a capitalization change) that I have already addressed, although I still need to re-check the pages that link to each (using the Special:WhatLinksHere tool) to make sure I've updated the name everywhere it appears.

Links have now been updated. Initially I changed the names on the respective Issue pages as well, but I reverted those pages to show the badge name as it was originally implemented, and added a note about the name change --AboveTheChemist (talk) 17:29, 23 May 2020 (UTC)


Note that some of the badges listed here may be Male/Female or Hero/Villain/Praetorian variants of the same badge. Some of them may be existing badges that were altered, in which case they will likely show a valid link, and others may be completely new badges created for Homecoming, which will likely show as a red link. It's also possible that some of them may have been updated for Homecoming already, I have not thoroughly checked the page for each badge to be sure. --AboveTheChemist (talk) 19:14, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

I made the table collapsible so it's not so obnoxious --AboveTheChemist (talk) 04:58, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Badge "see also" and categories

I just noticed that some - but not all - of the Atlas Park explore badges say "See also: Villain Exploration Badges" and are in that category. This seems inappropriate to me; these badges are not "earnable by "pure" Villains who have not opened up access to Hero zones and contacts" (direct quote from that page).

However, what about International Spy Badge and others like it? I've left that in the Category, but removed the See Also, since otherwise the See Also links to a page that doesn't actually show that badge by any name.

I thought I would check in with others before I go on a more extensive search. Thunderforce (talk) 11:12, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Praetorian Auction House badges

Noticed that the Praetorian badge sections and categories don't currently include the Wentworths Badges and Black Market Badges. Just tested this, and they are attainable as normal via the Trading House in Imperial City or through use of the /ah command. Resistance members are awarded Wentworths Badges and Loyalists are awarded Black Market Badges, as usual treated as Heroes and Villains respectively. Let me know what you think.

Good catch; suggest creating a page with them and modifying the badge navbox. Thunderforce (talk) 18:07, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
Done, cheers for the advice. --Aberrant (talk) 20:21, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
