Maybe if you had the option to turn off double XP you had the option of faster Day Job progression (and vice versa).....?

Excellent idea!
BTW as i read it. Log of in a day job area and you wont get double xp. Only those doing On Patrol will have them. So it will be quite easy to avoid actually.
It does say every character is On Patrol though. And aside from Commuter, I like the Clubber 'Job'. Give me that job, although clubbing as a day job would suck, cos the clubs would be empty. 
hehe and after 10 days offline you get a new dance emote :P
I don't wanna save my soul now,
I just wanna lose control,
And even if it takes a lifetime, to learn:
I'll learn!
GG > "That 30 day requirement is going to be a bit of a problem for me"
You know, I just mentioned this system to a colleague of mine, and I actually mentioned you. "She never logs out - how is she going to get 30 days of offline time?!" 
Standoff > "Think of it as an opportunity - working hard on your badges in-game and down the pub at the same time!"
Same thought here. I can now be kicking back at the pub on a Friday night, and thinking - "Yep, I'm earning badges. Should I stay for another hour? Yes, of course. I'm earning badges!"
And yeah - hopefully we'll see some more 'zany' jobs appear in the complete list.

I was going meh.
Until I saw the accolades! They seem rather useful, even if they'll be on the sort of Timer the Creys Pistol and the like are on.
Physician (Rez) and Security Chief (AOE Hold) immediately jump out as very useful ones as emergency panic buttons.
And 30 days? Easy-peasy. Chronic altisis FTW!

You'd play WoW, or almost any other MMO currently out there. It's Rest XP system, just about everything has them. I haven't checked WAR, but I'd imagine it's in there.
Funny thing was, I remember being told by people that levelling in CoH was too easy a long, long time ago. All the other games have been trying their hardest to catch up with CoH in terms of levelling speed.
I must admit that I don't understand the reasoning behind this change. I wasn't aware that high-speed levelling to reach end-game content was something we really needed in CoX. Perhaps NCNC know something about Issue 15 that we don't. (Correction: they do know something about I15 we don't, but... you get the picture, I hope.)

Another random thought, these bonus powers are accolades. So shape-shifted Khelds should be able to use em. That could be pretty handy!
I have to say that I like this system. I played a single main character up to 50 and have now given in to my inner altaholic. This system means that I am now rewarded for concentrating on one alt at a time for a set period and with the double xp I'm not doomed to repeating the grind to level up the "neglected" alts. as well as the spattering of powers and benefits they will receive when I go visit them again.
I agree that there should be an option to turn this off.
How will the double xp work with the levelling pact ?
as an aside, BF 2142 had a similar bonus points for being offline system and it worked great. My three soldiers unlocked weapons pretty much at a uniform rate even though it was my sniper I played more often than not.
riot shield , check
police uniform , check
baton power ? woot! check
now all I need are some hippies and a large supply of tear gas.....
It's certainly alt-friendly.

I have so many alts.. eventually I get there.. Even my main is only on for maybe an hour a day...
btw.. I want to know if the combo Mortician - Midnighter is possible... Liz being an undead witch
- The Italian Job: The Godfather Returns #1151
Beginner - Encounter a renewed age for the Mook and the Family when Emile Marcone escapes from the Zig!
- Along Came a... Bug!? #528482
Average - A new race of aliens arrives on Earth. And Vanguard has you investigate them!
- The Court of the Blood Countess: The Rise of the Blood Countess #3805
Advanced - Go back in time and witness the birth of a vampire. Follow her to key moments in her life in order to stop her! A story of intrigue, drama and horror! Blood & Violence... not recommend to solo!
I want to know if all combos are possible, cause you still have both the jobs
and they take 30 days to get so it's not exactly imbalanced to get them all

The tear gas is another accolade - hehe
As for the hippies - Im sure the carnies are colourful enough to count! If not we need ludites on hero side

In addition to all of the Day Jobs, every character is "On Patrol" after they log out of the game. When players log back into Paragon City or the Rogue Isles they will gain 1 bar of double experience (when defeating enemies) for every 24 hours they are logged out. A player can earn up to 10 bars of double experience this way. Double experience is shown as a blue portion of your experience bar. One thing to note is that if a player has any experience debt, the debt will be removed first before any double experience is applied.

I like the idea of the XP for non logged time - my only feeling is that it seems to be a lot in a short period of time. I remember people talking about it before thinking its a good idea as long as it isn't to much. I think if it was 1.5x exp it would be better, but thats just my thoughts.
But can you imagine, you've got a character that hasn't logged in for a while so they get the max available double xp, and they log in during a double xp weekend! It will be XP crazy!

@craggy see me on Union for TFs, SFs (please!) or just some good ol fashioned teaming.
Hmmmmmm just looking at the accolades again and Fashion Designer and Clubber aren't listed. I wonder if they get put together to form some sort of 'Socialite' accolade!

I know! It's all low-server-population-this, and can't-find-teams-that with some folks. Tch.
I don't think folks need to worry too much about low levels rocketing through their levels since you only get one-bar of 2xp per 24 hrs logged off - so they could power through a low level in 5 minutes rather than 10 minutes say, once every 10 days or so. Where this will really kick in is for post-mid-career toons that have been parked for one reason or another.
Bottom line - it encourages alting, meaning that folks will have an increased chance of a selection of toons at different levels, in turn meaning they'll be able to form team with friends because they've got a greater chance of having something at an appropriate level.
