Talk:Patroller Badge

Influence?

Aren't Template:DayJobBadge and Template:DayJobBadge the +XP "day jobs" that don't have a specific location tied to it? It's confirmed that it's +inf? Otherwise it should be noted the descriptions are wrong. -- Aggelakis 01:08, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

I was surprised to find that info myself, but the text I pasted in there today is copied straight from the "files that dare not be discussed". I'm not ruling out the possibility that the text is wrong in-game, though. I can't test it personally at the moment - all of my characters who have Patroller or Criminal are already 50, so any XP bonus would be converted to Influence/Infamy anyway. We'll need to find someone who has the badge on someone under level 50 to check. --Eabrace 03:31, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Working on figuring this one out, but not quite there yet. Here's what I do understand so far, though.

• the patrol XP bar looks like it accumulates at a rate of somewhere around .1 bar/2.5 hours
• XP earned while filling the blue patrol XP bars accumulates at a rate of 1.5 * normal XP accumulation
• there are no power icons for the effect of the patrol XP, only the blue bars
• the progress bar on the Patroller/Criminal badge is tracking time logged out rather than bars worked off and doesn't appear to halt progress when the limit of 10 patrol XP bars has accumulated
  • I have one character with a full progress bar and no badge and another showing 55.67% progress. Neither had worked off any patrol XP until tonight. No further progress registered as I worked off the patrol XP. Logging out and coming back 5 hours later showed some progress from 55.67% to 56.33%

Since there are no power icons or descriptions for the patrol XP while working toward the badge, I suspect that if there really is an influence/infamy bonus, it's the second power that accumulates after the badge has been earned. Still working on verifying that.

One last odd note. I just logged my character with the full bar back in. While out, she accumulated about another .17 bar of patrol XP and got the Criminal badge. Before, I couldn't get the game to show me any numbers on the progress bar, but it must have been just barely shy of full. Anyway, I should be able to log that character out now and see if she accumulates any more patrol XP bars or starts to rack up something different. --Eabrace 10:00, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
