Awesome news. 
Given the quantity of badges will certainly increase per experience overall, are there plans to make it easier to query for badges?
Hitting rate limits right now is very frustrating when it comes to making custom achievement UIs and the like.
In a similar note, it would also be great if the default in-game escape menu had a badge checklist - or if there was a way for developers to utilize the in-game menu for this. Badges are a core gameplay feature that currently require way too many workarounds for displaying things in-experience.
