Difference between revisions of "Talk:Day Job Badges"

Revision as of 20:32, 25 December 2008

Ok, i've gone through edited the all the day job badge links and added "Day Job" to them as some were linking to different badges, example being the [Doctor] badge which was going to the healing badge not the day job badge

Example of what i've done: From ((Arachnos Official Badge|Arachnos Official)) to ((Arachnos Official Day Job Badge|Arachnos Official))

I was going to change just the ones affected, but I thought I might as well do them all, and that way have some continuity with them, hopefully this should stop any confusion with them before it starts :) -- Dustified 03:42, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Duplicate Day Jobs

Just checking on all my alts and I had one that while in the hospital at Mercy Island, earned both Arachnos Agent & Pain Specialist. Torin23 18:03, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Correct. In that case you are both in a hospital and inside an Arachnos-controlled area. Standing at the base portal in Talos Island allows you to earn both Commuter and Monitor Duty at the same time. Parking in the hospital inside the Vanguard base in RWZ counts toward both Caregiver/Pain Specialist and Vanguard Recruit. There are other locations that offer multiple day jobs as well. --Eabrace 19:45, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

You sure? I'm in RWZ now and it's either Pain Specialist or Vanguard Recruit, never both. -- Baalus Seth 21:55, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

When you're standing there logged in, you'll only see one icon, however, my Controller who's been logged out there since before I13 is was showing equal progress on both Caregiver and Vanguard Recruit when I logged him in last night. Same thing with the dual progress on Commuter and Monitor Duty in Talos; you'll only see one icon for the day job location while logged in, but progress accumulates on both badges if you're standing in the right area. --Eabrace 22:03, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Seems to be the way you describe. Add another two to the list, Hospital in Grandville, Arachnos Official and Pain Specialist. At least for standing on the lip of the door. Also, heroside Vault in Pocket D for Clubber and Banker/Thief. However, the Arachnos base in Siren's Call doesn't count as for Pain Specialist and the Hero Hospital in Siren's doesn't count for Predator. -~- Baalus Seth 20:32, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Another useful place is in the Vanguard base next to the base portal since it gives credit for both Vanguard Recruit and Monitor. Also has anyone checked to see if the vault in Pocket D gives dual credit? CmdrAdeon 20:03, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

I think I parked one of my characters in the Pocket D vault on test and didn't get credit toward Clubber, but I'm not entirely certain of that. I wonder if she's still parked there. . . --Eabrace 21:41, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Accolade Descriptions

What happened to the accolade descriptions? This was a very useful summary page, now it's not. Doc Scorpion 00:50, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

You might be thinking of Day Jobs, as this page has never had descriptions. -- Aggelakis 00:56, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Moved the detailed accolade listing over here from Day Jobs since otherwise it'd just be duplicate tables from the main Day Jobs page. -- Aggelakis 01:59, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

X Day Job Badge

I had deliberately made these badges to be "X Day Job Badge", going against naming convention, because they are not just badges. They are actually Day Jobs and Badges at the same time. This is why I did not go with "X Badge" in the first place. I would like to put it to a vote to return Day Job to these badges' namespaces. -- Agge (talk) 16:06, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Wouldn't the day job badges be treated the same as gladiator or accolade badges? Gladiator badges give you more than just a badge, too, but we don't call them "X Gladiator Badge," nor do we call Accolades that give you bonuses/powers "X Accolade Badge." --Blondeshell 20:44, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

I very strongly oppose moving them back. It completely breaks convention with all of our other badges. "Day Job" should not be in the title. The points Blondeshell makes with regards to gladiators and accolades are spot on. I do not see any benefit to putting day job in the title. Even if they do somewhat cover the day job aspect, that does not need to be in the title. If necessary, make a redirect from "X Day Job" to "X Badge". I'd even support separating the Day Job information into separate "Day Job" articles, if need be. But naming it "X Day Job Badges" it misleading. You state the they are actually covering two things: the day job and the badge. If that's the case, then the title should be "X Day Job and Badge" or "X Badge and Day Job"--which further emphasizes that perhaps they should be split in some fashion if we really want to keep the Day Jobs at an article-level status. -- Sekoia 01:56, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Merge Tables?

Personally, I believe the Hero/Villain Day Job tables would look better were they merged, especially since both sides get badges that give the same rewards. Thoughts? - Baalus Seth 20:32, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
