Dayjob progress bar on the character select screen

It would be nice. I have a system where I keep most of them on the same schedule and leave one offline to act as a timer but this would be much nicer.

Eh.
I don't think I'd want that visible up front on the character select screen. Info like who's online, etc. would, for me, take precedence. But as an "Expanded info" you could look into before logging into the character, sure.

Something like this could be added to an earlier suggestion for adding a dialog box to the character select screen that provided in-game info when you hovered your mouse over the character name.

Done!
Log the character in, move them to their day job location, and don't log them back in until the timer on the character select screen says "21 days".
When your character isn't logged in, you don't have a day job location - everything is calculated as you're logging in. It may have been in Beta, I can't recall, but one of the devs already told us that the select screen can't show your day job location, because it can't pull the data until the character logs in.

Yes that's great... if you only want to play them every 21 days.

The OP did specifically say that it was for characters that weren't being played on a regular basis, ie, ones that are only getting logged in to check on day job progress. If that's the case, then all you really need is the days logged off timer.

Yeah, but there's a mid point. I have characters I play every so often. So they're rarely offline for the entire 21 days but not logged in often enough to catch them on day job day.
