COH+COV Day Jobs

So the villains get to be bookies, car stereo thieves, telemarketers,
oil executives, purloiners of baby's candy, and other nefarious "Day Jobs"?

Well, seriously. Logged on an ALT of mine sitting idle for over 1000
days, collected the "Day Job" reward and was pleasantly surprised the ALT
had not leveled up to level 50.

What is a Day Job in terms of being offline? A double XP period for the
exchange rate of being offline for a bit. I am happy that as "Monty Haul"
game tweaks go, that this was not an obscene blessing of the game changes.

The change is rather reasonable with the logical deduction that aside
from encouraging compulsive ALT-ism that the Development Team would like to
have folks dust off their idle Alternate Characters once and a while and
have some fun doing a different playstyle.

I was frankly afraid that all of my idle Alts would be level 50 when I
logged on with them with the Day Job tweak and this is not bad at all of a
concept.

The other thing that made me a tad gruff was wondering if this tweak was
to encourage people not to play in the same way that "PROGRESS QUEST"
patiently deprograms "World of Warcraft" addicts into realizing that they've
fallen into the trap of having the game play them instead of the other way
around.

It depends where you are offline.
