Just for you GE, here are the secret badge sites that I use:

VidiotMaps - They have both the map pack that you can download to replace your in-game maps and online versions of it. This site's also connected to Badge-Hunter.com which has a nice listing of all the badges in the game. I think you can sign up with them and they can track them for you too, I just don't use that one.

HeroStats - Well the most visible part of this is the in-game overlay that will keep countdowns on buffs and powers for you as well as track time left to level (based on xp/min), etc. In it's options though, you can also link it up to CityInfoTerminal and CityGameTracker to keep track of your badges.

CityInfoTerminal - One stop shop for badge tracking. Also where I get the pretty character bars in my sig wink. The guys that run this also took over CityGameTracker (more on that below). I very much heart this site...

CityGameTracker - I have HeroStats hook up to this mainly just to keep track of my SGs and char levels (once the CIT guys get it hooked back in that is). Since the CIT guys just recently took over CGT, they haven't gotten everything working quite like it used to yet. Once they do though, CIT will have an option in it to sync to CGT to pull stuff like SG, char level, powersets, bio, etc. Then CIT lets you actually edit the SG info to track it's badges too (as well as showing a list of everyone in it if more than one of us runs this stuff).


If any of that doesn't make sense, just let me know. And yes, I know I'm a badge whore -- I admit it in my custom title don't I? wink

There are also some very good content sites like:

No Future - With lists of contacts and mission descriptions, sometimes it's not fully updated but has most info you need to know about missions, trials and TFs.

Paragon Wiki - All you need to know about background stories contacts, books, rules and everything else related to CoX. Has good mission descriptions too.

I'd add that NoFuture is also the easiest way to make sure that you pick the right contacts so you don't miss any of the badge mishes from the get-go. It won't reallly make a difference once i11 releases though.

Thank you both for putting this all into one place for me. I will begin my badge education immediatly smile

I also followed your link to Midi's Hero designer. I will post GE and Pack Master's builds for advice, both build-wise and IO-wise. I know the world will flip flop with the new issue so I can wait for our in game experts to rain their wisdom down upon me.
Can't find a back button on Midi's designer. Any way to easily back up with out starting over? I figured out how to back up power choices, but I could not remove enhancement slots.

Any chance with the new issue there will be a way to go back for badges that are based on a time like say Valentines Day 06 (made update).

Thank you again.....

If you double-click on the slot you want to move it'll "pick it up" and let you move it. Make sure you click on the right one. If you put a slot in at 15 and another one in at 42 it's very specific about which you're moving (which is actually nice). You can hit the View Slot Levels button up by the char name if you want to be sure though. smile

Oh, Razor was nice enough to show us this hacked version of Mid's if you can't wait until he releases an official update with the new sets. It's working mostly right and I don't think the numbers are going to change much before i11 releases. Then again, it'll hopefully only be a few more days before i11 hits and Mid's said he should have the update out in time for it.

See, wait and ye shall receive. Mid's is now officially updated so there's no need to get that hacked version. smile

A little tip for those posting exports from Mids on the boards here. Switch the format from HTML to Live Journal, it gets rid of the extra spacing in the post. Not that it really matters to me, since all I do to really look at them is grab the code block at the bottom and import it, but just thought I'd let you guys know. smile

Just thought I'd give any interested parties a heads up that City Game Tracker has just had a massive facelift from the Titan Network guys. The sync funcion is now working fully between it and CIT (they don't have any kind of auto-sync feature yet, but they say they're working on it). It now has a friend list feature that lets you see which of your friends are on and who they're on with. The avatars and signatures got updated a while ago to the ones like those in my sig and in Shaaktar's. The bugs on the site are also all pretty much worked out and the character/supergroup searching is back. Not to mention it just looks a lot cleaner now.

Again, this site (and CIT or Badge-Hunter) are great if you also run either HeroStats or the CGT software while you play. HeroStats is a bit more memory intensive, but it also does more I think, but I can't say for sure since I've yet to use the CGT software and probably won't until the Titan guys finish v3 of it. But either way if you run something like that it can auto-sync with all 3 sites and track everything for you if you want it to.

I'll have to second the use of City Game Tracker. It is quite simply my favorite non-NCSoft CoH related application. When I left Adversity a while back to form my own supergroup (United) I ran the website (and used Drupal). CGT has an API that people can access to get some of the information CGT collects and redisplay it. This is what I used to have dynamic rosters for the supergroup.

If anyone else was using HeroStats+CityInfoTerminal/CityGameTracker, I just wanted to update everyone and let you know that they just got the badge tracking (and level, etc. also) working again with the re-tooled and combined CityInfoTracker site. At least with the unstable version of HeroStats.
