Day Jobs suggestions thread

Infiltrator/Agent - log out in an enemy base (sky raider bases in Fault and Striga, Council Bases in Striga, Arachnos bases in Fault, other places, I don't know enough about Villain side to point those out) bonus perception

Infiltrator + Vanguard - Commando - Stealth power

how about a cople maybe 4 teleport unlocks

Arachnos Recall
you get the badges of the Arachnos base and there in grandville, and you unlock an ability to ( like the O portal) summon a Pick up portal to take you to a main base , ( this would be like going to oribors but it's the training base from the VEAT intro, the one with the shooting range and what looks liek a supply depot, in there you could mingle, get supplies of enhancements and insperations and maybe a facemaker, and ... a exit portal pad, that gives you a list of al the isle's zones, you go to one of the bases in each zone on exiting the supply base =-)

Farie Ring
this might be unlocked with a croatoa / nerva exploration bade, and maybe the midnighters club, again you call a portal but this one is cooler, ( the summoning is a seed throwing animation, and the portal could be like the Farie Rings in Croatoa that you would hop into), now this takes you to the Witches Den, I belive it's the map on the AE listing, again you would have a mercant for enhancements and insperations na d maybe a facemaker/ Icon agent, and a exit fey ring to take you to the Midnighters Nexus point, ( area between red and Blue sides ) =-)

Vanguard Pickup
this could be just vanguard dayjob thing and maybe a exploration badge for unlock, and it'd just be a pick up portal to the vanguard base nothing major there

Don't think this belongs here but since I don't want to make another thread for it:

Accolade: Costume Creator
I was using the MA button to create a few outfits but constantly going through meaningless power selection made me think of a better way of doing it. With the new booster pack making use of multiple build types and the ability to save costumes it suddenly occured to me that why not simply have an in-game online costume creator? Then I thought the best way would be another day job accolade from existing badges for those that have them already and another for people to get.

This power allows remote access to the online costume creator of the AE from any location so you can design a new outfit for that next mission idea or your new outfit for the tailor.

Requirements:
Architect | Fashion Designer

It acts like the MA Tablet but provides access to the costume creator instead. Perhaps even access to the MA version for custom characters outfits as well.

More dayjobs and dayjob accolades would be great (maybe even combining them with other badges for example the above mentioned Playboy, could come with the Clubber badge and the Midas Touch/Superstar inf badge) particularly if they added insides to all the storefronts we can't currently access. If the devs don't have time for it, why not run a contest to let people design the new workplaces using something like the base editor?

edit: I want a lawyer's office so I can be an Attorney At Law.

"Six at Once" - log off in a bus stop

"You got to dig it to dig it, you dig?"
Thelonious Monk

I'm not sure if anyone suggested this but how about a trainer badge? log out next to a trainer and get a 4% Exp Bonus?

Is there currently anything special for logging out in Terra Volta?

If not then I propose Nuclear Physicist: Def bonus

Not sure if it'd be sensible to have another Day Job Accolade as a result of that.

Music producer/musician

log out in music studio (new building not sure of other uses)

I wanted to second the suggestion for a Recall Friend -type day job power. The vet team recall is so useful for out of the way missions, but of course the recharge is long, and sometimes you really don't want to bring the whole team along. Maybe could be applied to one of the new zones in Praetoria?

after getting the police day job badge, give access to detective phone number

How about once you get all the Day Job badges you get the Unemployed Accolade Power giving you a 25% reduction in Day Job accolade power recharge rate.

Not a day job, but personally I'd like to see shorter requirements. I have a char I made back when profilation came out and he STILL doesn't have the patroll badge...

Having chased a friend through Galaxy who wanted to snag the various new explorations, how about:

Park Ranger/park patrol (something similar.) Just to go along with the text in the Gemini Park area ("heroes would be seen relaxing in the area, daring the local gangs to try something.")

(And FWIW, I don't care if the amount of time is reduced. I'm looking at these for flavor for some characters, not poke-badging. Works for me either way.)

Sorry for the late reply, but:

They are a part of the badge system, and the avid badge collectors are just that: collectors.

Based on a few things:

• Day job accolades should be earned in a single month of play, this would reward a new player just starting out (during their free month) and could entice that player to stay with the game.
• Yes, I would much prefer to be rewarded for actively playing the game then being handed a token for not playing the game.
• I've noted that I've been playing less of the game overall specifically because I can't play my favourite characters due to the day job badges.

Day jobs reward you for actively NOT playing the game. You cannot play the game on that character and earn credit for any day job.

Yes, I got them all. Why? It is because I didn't play a favourite character for nearly two years. That reduced my pleasure at subscribing for that time, to the point that I nearly quit subscribing altogether. The last thing the game needs is for myself and people like me to have that sort of feelings toward a game they generally like.

<Snort>... Soon? Almost 2 years of real time "Soon"? Give me a break.

There has been some discussion over in the GR forum about a tip day job. Possibly a journalist day job which helps you get tips (One per mission? Higher drop rate? One tip for 18 hours logged out? Something else?)

standing under Atlas should give a +to taunt range (or something like that)

Streetwise: Near a contact. Eventually you would earn having a cell phone call button immediately upon recieving a new contact.
