Day Jobs, you might want to read this

Shadowe · 10-20-2008 09:13 AM

I think the most amusing thing about this, that no one seems to have mentioned yet, is that Day Jobs are an I13 thing.

Let's look at this, shall we?

To get one of the badges, you must be logged off for 30 (non-consecutive) days. I'm assuming that actually means (30x24) 720 hours, or more accurately 43,200 minutes.

I posit the following hypothesis: No one will get a Day Job badge before Issue 13 goes live.

Assumption: Day Job timers were switched on Friday 17 October 2008.

That sets a HARD LIMIT for I13 release of Sunday 16 November 2008 for I13. Dibs on Tuesday 11th.

; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise

; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*

Invalid, it has most probably been tracking them since the last live patch.

Nope, It's quite possible day job badges have already been earned, and will be dished out as soon as you patch to issue 13.

I really should do something about this signature.

I don't think you can log out in SG bases, you get booted back into your last zone.

I am missing some awesome dayjobs I would have liked for some of my toons. No Golden Giza......

Oh well still enough to be excited about.

There is an archelogist badge.. but no info on where or what...

Argh.. my Werewolf would be best as smuggler if I go for the RP side... but he is regen and all extra regen is good. So he should go for Pain Specialist.

Decisions.. ah...

Elizabeth will be pain specialist (torture) and midnighter (witch) ... that will give her Alchemist - Ally Heal

Now that is a good one for a mm

My guess:

Archelogist = Cimmerean + Professor (scholor on badge)

So hang around in the university or Cimmeria.

As for the badge, when I first saw it, I thought of Doc Delilah and the Faultline ruins, but that would make it a Hero only badge.

How about the badge from the Graveyard + Professor

I'd presume Cimeroran was part of the 'Gladiator' accolade, personally

PRAF68_EU · 10-20-2008 05:51 PM

It could be in more than one.

Cimeroran + Professor = Archiologist

Cimeroran + Duelist = Gladiator

Cimeroran + Mender = Time Traveler

30 uninterrupted days without playing the toon? Are they trying to to get us not play the game and just pay the subs?

GrinningSpade · 10-20-2008 08:46 PM

They dont say 30 uninterupted days. They say a total of 30 days. So no worries you will get the badges.

PRAF68_EU · 10-21-2008 05:52 AM

It is confirmed, the time is not continous, and is counted by the second.

Liz Bathory · 10-21-2008 06:00 AM

So like a real dayjob you return to these spots for loggout every time. If you game for 4-5 hours with a toon. it will give you 20 hours each day of being logged out. So on a well played toon you will need about 36 days to learn one job.

By the second? Very good. I personally was afraid that only full hours or even days of logout time will be counted. (and so you'd have to write down when exactly you logged out to not to log in 4 hours 59 minutes afterwards...)

Stiki · 10-21-2008 08:30 AM

This is looking more interesting than I thought it would, Nice heads up now I know all the times I rage log will count towards something

The end is just a new beginning, Goodbye all my coh friends and even the enemies, its been a blast I will miss you all. Thank you Paragon team, you gave me a home from home I will always appriciate it.

thats good but the amount of time to get all badges seems stupid.

This system was never meant to be used as a way to collect all these badges. You should in role only have a max of two jobs... or actually one job specialised with a second.

And that is easily managable.

What i am not certain about is this one.

I am logging in and out at the train station
But I also had to log off at wentworth a few times
And I crashed last time i was playing in the midst of a street.

So what will happen to my dayjob counters?
x- hours at train
y - hours wentworth
z - seconds at patrol

OR

z seconds on patrol??

I have to admit that I don't understand this attitude, and you seem to be determined to hate this feature. When an objection of yours is shot down as wrong, you come up with a weaker one.

For something you get for simply logging out somewhere, I can't really see the amount of time to get all of them makes any difference. Unless you're just enormously impatient.

Just a thought, and sorry if anyone's asked already in other threads on the subject but...

If I log a toon out in the Vault (for either the Banker or Thief day job) INSIDE Pocket D (for the Clubber job) would it count for both timers, or just one of them?

Similar situation arises many times in CoV with various stores being inside Arachnos buildings or bases which'd possibly count for a few seperate jobs.

PRAF68_EU · 10-21-2008 11:48 AM

I would imagine the area inside the vault in pocket D would be considered to not be in pocket D for the purpose of day jobs.

I.e. you can only be working on one job at a time.
