Day Jobs - How are they going for yoU?

Ravenswing · 02-23-2009 08:30 AM

I've been religiously logging characters out in useful areas, teaming up badges for Accolades, etc...

My main had 4 badges, 2 Accolades (Mercenary and Rapid Response).
My old main, who spends more time logged off, has 5 badges and 3 Accolades, and the other less used characters are similar.

It's something to do, takes no effort, and (sometimes) gives a useful little bonus. I'm not complaining.

Meh, the bonuses are unnoticeable/useless/wear off within one or two missions. I ignore them. I just do day jobs for the badges.

Well, my new boss is quite nice but I don't think I'll be happy until someone pays me for lounging around all day.

The temp powers are a good concept but all too brief. The badges are a bit of fun though.

Agreed, for day job temp powers to be worthwhile to go out of your way to get the reward, they need to increase the time the bonus stays with you a LOT.

For example the prestige bonus. How many missions can you complete in 2 hours (max allowed) to justify going out of your way to get to a base tper unless your a badger?

I'm enjoying them - it's nice having something in the game that benefits those of us with far too many toons! Agree that the 2-hour limit on a lot of them just isn't enough time when they're based on mission ends, though. Could do with a tweak, but fun!

Ah.. sort of phew here. (Save yourself another week by doing it each 21 days )

Not got as many on my main alt as I do on my minor ones for obvious reasons, but that's to be expected. Must admit like a few of the people here I really don't pay much attention to the bonuses that they grant.
