We have much work to do.

Holy Crap, they've dumped a rather large load there.

The majority of the work is going to be adding the new exploration badges and accolades for the hazard zones, I think.

Yep. I've been grabbing screenshots while working on my other duties, so I'll get them formatted and uploaded soon.

As far as I know, all of the badge icons should be loaded, so at least that's out of the way.

I've got the framework and most details up for Issue 19 Badges.  I'd appreciate a look-over by fresh eyes to make sure I didn't miss anything and to help fill in the parts I wasn't sure about.  Achievement badge images seem lacking, unless I'm unclear about how the new ones are awarded. (I didn't get a chance to run either of the new TFs during beta to see for myself.)  All screenshots are loaded for the new exploration badges, so those articles can start to be churned out now, too.

As far as I know, Burden Bearer, Drone Protector, and Already Dead all use the same image.  Likewise for Hacker, Midnight Dodger What Dodges at Midnight, Kitty's Got Claws, and Army of Neu.

But I didn't get a chance to run the TF either, so I might be wrong.

Is it just me, or does it seem like they switched the icons around for the Apex and Tin Mage badges?  I mean, the art on the Apex badges looks more like something you'd get from Tin Mage, and wouldn't it make more sense to use the "Badge tf tinmage complete" and "Badge tf tinmage achievement" icons with the Tin Mage Task Force instead of Apex?

I'm pretty sure what we have for the Tin Mage icons are what the badges looked like when we got them last night, but I'm thinking I want to double check when I get home tonight just to be sure.

Yeah, the image swapping was talked about a lot in closed beta and never was fixed.
