day job time not being awarded

I've been suspicious that day job time wasn't always being awarded properly for some time, but I've just had confirmation, by the game it'self.

I should have achieved the Predetor badge on an alt today, and when I logged on I did indeed recieve the message "Congradulations, you have beed awarded the Predetor badge" message in the chat window. However, No actual badge. When I checked the bar it was on 76%, which was back where it was last time I logged on.

Just a heads up, I expect there is a lot of this passing unnoticed on frequently played characters.


I really should do something about this signature.

Furthermore, Praf... in test server, logging out in some locations awarded me several day jobs badges at the same time (for example, Hospital in Cimerora, or Helicopter in Bloody Bay), but in "live" game I'm just making some kind of progress in 1 of the several badges available (Cimerora, not Hospital, Helicopter not Predator PvP).

It would seem the message is tailored for the 21 days duration while the time requirement itself is still tied to the original 30 days...

As for what Defcon_Kid is reporting, it's WAI as far as I can tell... you're supposed to have to work for all of them, one at a time, with the few exceptions being places where that isn't possible or the programmers forgot to only turn one of them on, instead of the two. I could be wrong though.

I think this was a bug fix, the intention is you can only earn for one day job at a time (apart from Patroller).

I have had some day job badges after 21 days though...

It could be that some badges are correctly set to 21 days, whilst others remain at 30, but the game give the badge awarded message after 21.

really? I lost count on so many patches almost every single day before the Issue was released... I did miss that info, then; if that's true, it's working as intended, because I had found several double-triple day jobs badges locations that allowed me to earn them at the test server, meanwhile now I cannot do that... well, except Vanguard base, because sticking my characters near base portal I've earned Monitor Duty, Vanguard, Patroller and a couple of Accolades in all characters I've tried that. Weird, don't you think?

Nope, Vanguard base is one of those where I think it's impossible to switch one of them off... unless they move the base portal to somewhere other than inside the base itself.

Indeed, I meant to say that is happening for some badges like the Predator one...

Don't think it was in the patch notes, it was never intended that you could earn multiple badges at a single location, that was a bug, it got fixed.

Update: logged back in and found I had the badge. Must be some sort of delay/bug in updating the progress bar.
