Okay, being a spiritual successor to our beloved City of Heroes, it's fairly safe to say this game is going to have a wide array of accomplishments, from defeating 1000 gang members, to defeating x arch-villain etc etc.
But my main concern, as it was with CoX. Event badges. Those one time badges that you can never earn again after the event. I'm sure a lot of us here are chronic altaholics by nature and I know that, at least for me, between my time at the start of the game, and my time at the end, I'd created and deleted more characters than I care to count.
So I suppose what I'm here to put forward is, can we make event badges account wide? All those badges that you can earn by putting aside a few hours to beat on thugs and roam around hunting down in the city are fine character wide. But it always irked me how you could attend an event, especially during the earlier years of the game, and have those badges disappear as your character list shifts.
TL;DR: One time badges (One time events, anniversaries, and all manner of 'this won't happen again') should be account wide unlocks. Note: This excludes annual events that bring the badges back, like X-Mas and Halloween.

OP - IIRC, this was commented on by a Dev in another thread around here somewhere. They are aware of this concern that you and others have on the matter.

As an avid badger from CoH I have long been in favor of a system that would parse out "Account badges" and "Character badges" into two completely separate groupings.
The account badges (things like Event Login badges, Anniversary badges, Veteran badges or any other kind of meta/offline badge that really is not directly related to any one character) would be kept in the account badges bucket and would be viewable while logged into any character in its own listing/GUI. The character badges (basically any other kind of badge like TF completions, Kill badges and Count badges) would only be linked to specific characters and could only be viewable on those characters.
This way you no longer have to worry about deleting/re-rolling old characters for fear of losing old event/anniversary badges. You'd also not have to worry about having to log in every character to get separate Event Login badges because the first time you'd log in you'd get an account-level badge that would apply to your entire account.

Agreed. Account badges for events and veteran related stuff should go to the account. Sign me up.
Well, that's comforting to hear! It was always a pet peeve that I'd find myself with less and less one time only badges as my character list developed. Glad to hear the devs are really pulling together to tailor this experience to truly improve on what we had before.
