Ouroboros Badges

Overview

Ouroboros Badges (also called Flashback Badges) are earned by completing Flashback content. These badges are available to characters of any alignment.

In addition to the badge listing further below in this article, there is also a checklist available for use during badge collection.

Known Issues

There are two main issues that affect which Flashback Arcs will properly award a challenge badge which must be accounted for:

• Badge missions/Arcs in Flashback do not award Challenge badges.

• Most Story Arcs that cross multiple ranges grant the story arc reward table (which the badges are part of) at the lowest range. However, due to back end organization of how arcs are categorized and displayed in the Flashback menu, arcs are listed in the highest range that they are available. There are many mismatches between the Ourboros level

Work Around

One way to address the issues above is to consult the appropriate Hero/Villain Story Arc list to find an arc with a starting level in the range you are targeting, then check to ensure that the arc itself does not offer badges. Please note that some contacts have prerequisites and may not be available in Ouroboros until those requirements are met.

Historical

• Following a discussion with a GM from PlayNC in January, 2009, it would appear that there is a fault in the awarding of some of these badges. If you select a mission which would ordinarily award you a badge (Agent badge etc) then the challenge setting screen should not appear and the mission just played out as normal. The purpose being that challenge badges would not be issued for normal badge missions. The fault lies in the fact that the challenge settings menu does appear and can be altered. The developers are looking into this fault and hope to rectify it soon. The actual report from them is as follows:

The problem you have reported is a known issue and the development team is already working on an appropriate solution. However, we are going to forward your inquiry to our Quality Assurance (QA) department in order to provide the development team with as much information as possible.

Note that badge missions in Flashback do not award Challenge badges. The challenge parameter window should not show when doing a badge mission in Flashback. We apologize for any confusion caused by this.
