This.

Getting there ASAP was never a concern for me. I always knew that I'd get them eventually, and at least I didn't lock myself out of any of my own characters and was still able to enjoy them anytime I wanted to in the meantime.

Considering I'll be completing my sets in just a couple more weeks as well, it doesn't seem like it was any big deal. Even if it took twice as long, it wouldn't bother me. I'm not going anywhere.

I know the feeling. I still need Clubber (less than half needed), Fashion Designer, Shop Keeper, and Predator.

I can only play one at a time also. But my main toon had nothing else to do until the new Mo badges came and returned to activity for them, then of course returned for the new event stuff then faded away again. Minor delays at best.

Hehe! My main character is my crafter, so she's active quite a bit, earning Inf, playing the market, running TFs that I still need badges for, doing events, or even just handing out an old-fashioned *** whuppin' to whoever happens to be in the mission she grab'd.

I will admit, however, that with two accounts, and two servers of charcters, I've essentially given up on my plan to get all the Day Jobs on all my characters. I was logging in every 5 days to rotate, and everything was going great until I went on vacation. That screwed up the rotation schedule, and I said, "Meh. Screw it.".

Congrats Nericus, I'm working on my 2nd to last one right now.

I'm 96 hours into Cimeroran then it's the Ouroboros Day Job Badge and I'm done!

10 days only to charge the accolade powers and some can be dual charged. Not too bad.

In a couple of weeks I'll have more red toons wrapping their last DJ.

Yeah getting them all on all my alts would be a pain. I'm just working them on the "retired" alts that I have. My primary PB/WS toons have all TF badges and are triple Mo winners so they are now "retired" and doing the DJ's. Other alts that are triple Mo are now off DJ'ing leaving me space to work on other alts. I have have some lowbies somewhere I rolled for concept reasons about a year or so back that now have all the DJ's they can get at their level and are charging the accolade/weapon powers. If I ever decide to bring them into the active roster, it should be interesting to see what they can do with all their DJ bonuses

Plus they were what I used to figure out the 10 day charge time and max charge capacity of some of the powers. Bonus!

Because of my contracting job I work a few months of every year in one of the few places left on earth that does not have ready access to the Internet - a US naval ship. While at sea we do have access to satellite based email and such but because the bandwidth is strictly controlled by the Navy the idea of trying to play a MMO out there is impossible on many levels. Obviously that puts a crimp on my badging exploits. I've actually been amazingly lucky not to have missed any event badges so far.

Still I've managed to finish off most of the Day Jobs on most of several dozen alts. I created a little spreadsheet to track their progress and will probably be done with all of them within a few more months despite missing literally weeks worth of being able to rotate alts around. I have a few retired 50s which only need a couple more Day Jobs at this point. Ironically my main badger needs more than that because I still actively play her but she'll still be done long before GR or future Issues add any new ones. It's been an interesting challenge.

Exactly my experience. I still play my main (also my very first character ) fairly often, so today I'm completing the second-to-last DJ badge on her. Three more weeks until it's finally over! (For now... )

Aye...for now......one must wonder and perhaps shudder at what GR will bring.

Though how many DJ's are exclusive to blueside? I can't recall, other then the Shard but that gives a jetpack like GV does so I can't see that being obtainable. More likely is that if you become a hero your DJ's become the hero versions. The main thing is how many will be on the Praetorian side.

TopDoc made me feel a LOT better about that situation by pointing out that even if you play your main every day for 4 hours, you are only "behind" by 20%. (I have one day job left after tonight).

Gratsapooti Nericus... I have a few days left on my latest DJ then only 3 more... and if there are more DJ's to come with GR then so be it... it will be nice to be able to play my badge hunter again without having to think "playing this toon is losing me DJ time" the good thing is it sort of forced me to play my other toons which has been really fun

It's better to save the Mystery, than surrender to the secret...

Congrats

I know my main badger (EI Kin/Rad Defender) will (hopefully) be done with his day job badges by Feb. 10th. I'll get the 2nd to last DJ badge this Wednesday

Pre-gratz! My main hero still has two left but started one today. Should be end of Feb for him.

Yeah it's nice to have the main toon done with them. Now he's working on something else and filling in a few ouroborus gaps.

Hot dog. As of last night, I'm all done with my villain dayjobs and badges as well. Nothing to do on Exotica now but eat candy canes and laze around Cap au's market.
