Double Day Job Locations
Recently a user removed the Double Day Jobs section with a comment that he had checked the Pocket D ones and that they did not work. I have checked the Talos one today and it does still work so I think we need to try and do a bit more research to determine for sure which ones do and don't work. To that end if you have recently confirmed that one works (by logging out and checking your badge progress or powers) please post here. CmdrAdeon 22:40, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
- I've also re-confirmed the Vanguard/Monitor one CmdrAdeon 23:22, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
- I logged a character out in the Vanguard hospital tonight with no progress on either Vanguard or Caregiver. I'll try to remember to report the results back here. --Eabrace 05:02, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
Had to mention that Pocket D has another double day job location in the areas with the regen pods (where heroes or villians go in Pocket D when they click Go To Hospital). You can get Clubber and Care Giver/Pain Specialist badges.
Has anyone checked the Pocket D arena yet? -- Gothenem
- I've done some checking in places that seemed like they might work, and the hospital areas in the following zones do NOT appear to give dual credit: Firebase Zulu, Recluse's Victory, Cimerora, and Oroborus. Interestingly in Recluse's Victory the portal that leads from the Hero's base to the main zone appears to give monitor credit, but I haven't checked to see if it gives dual credit.

OK, let's see here....
Cimerora rez location: nope, one job only. Grandville: nope Mercy: Nope, not either location. Pocket-D: Nope. Vanguard: Nope. Talos: Nope.
I tried them all, none of them work. Sometimes it takes 15 seconds for the day job icons to switch over but they do switch. Also, if you have the day job benifits, you'll have an icon, so it's best to test with somebody that doesn't have the job at all. Otherwise you have to look for three icons!
I did find a bug. Villain rez station (and vault?) give the Clubber badge while the hero side gives badges for caregiver (and banker).
I could swear there was a patch note about cleaning these things up but I don't see it anywhere. Maybe it was at the end of beta? Zloth
If you can't judge by the icons, then we are going to need a lot more than just telling people to use careful positioning. Positioning where? Anywhere along the border between the two badges? Only in some spots along the border? How can you tell if you are on the border or just close to it?
Honestly, I really doubt this effect exists at all now. The icons are just reporting what day job you will get according to your exact location. The call to see what icon to show is very likely the same call made when you log in to award day job credit. --Zloth 17:55, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
That's very odd. Hero or villain? And at what exact location? Because I had a hero logged out right near the base portal for over a week. She got progress on monitor duty but clubber hadn't even started. If you could post a /loc then I could set myself at the same spot and confirm. --Zloth 19:38, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
