So did mine. How interesting...

You crazy man, you crazy.

But yes, a fine celebration. My first 50 took almost 1000 hours to get to 50 (I did spend several months in the low 30s while I hung out in Siren's Call).

Well, Ninja Run and level 6 travel powers are only for vets or people who buy extra stuff, which means you have to pay for early level travel either way.

Lol

I just want you to know that you got CoX to stop freezing on the "Loading" bar for me. Thanks!

Now if I could get the game to look right...

(I did, the ambient occlusion does weird things)

I have a touch screen, and I wish this would happen.

Pinn for the win!

We have drunks and RPers who keep it pg-13!

Pinn for the win! Another is a sin!

It's a cosmic overscaling that affects many dimensions, not just those of Paragon City. See?

I do hope the devs read this because there are a lot of good ideas in this thread. However, as far as your point, that better versions of the vet rewards are offered to everyone, I think a few things need to be taken into account.
Let's look at the Valkyrie wings: yes, they are pretty kickin'. But even though they are available to a new player on the first day, that new player has to pay an extra $10 or whatever for them. Vet reward wings are "free" in the sense that every player has to pay the same subscription fee for however many months. It's only natural that paying extra for something will get you better stuff (if you think the Valkyrie wings are better. Some don't. There are also no Demon style Valkyrie wings). It might also be good to bear in mind that the veteran wings were used more as a test for wings in general. Either way, as a veteran with wings, you still have access to two types of wing that no one else, even new players who buy the Valkyrie set, does when you create a character. Not to mention the fact that wing recipes are not the easiest things to get on a level 1 character, if you really want something that isn't angel/demon/valkyrie at creation.
But you don't have to anymore. Yes, things were rough, back in the day. Now they're not. As a veteran, you've earned the right to talk to new players like that. However, you're complaining about the fact that the veteran reward items are useless, and there are better ones available to everyone. Of course, if they're available to everyone, that means they are also available to you. If you want to make a new character, your life is much easier now. Cherish that, instead of complaining that the new kids these days have it so easy. Not to mention the fact that the veteran rewards, while perhaps useless to you, are in large part not entirely useless to everyone. No one is going to find every vet reward the coolest thing ever. Some people like some rewards, others like different rewards. That's the nature of this beast.
This seems to be the problem with your thinking. You want something that is way better than anything the new players can get, but that won't happen. The purpose of vet rewards is NOT to give vets an "I win" button. The program is designed to give players fun little things as a token of appreciation, and to show off the fact that they've been around for a while. No longer do veterans have to say: "Well I was around before ED;" now they have the badge to prove it. That's what this program is for. You're not going to get anything as cool as you want, because it would affect gameplay to an extent the devs don't want. Some vets are going to use some of the stuff, thinking "Hey, cool, I can do this now, or look this way with that new costume now." Others will set the badge as their title and say "Neener neener neener I'm so cool I have 66 months on my account and you don't and I have all this stuff that you can't ever get haha!" To each his/her/huge's own. The point is, they are free rewards, and just because they're not good enough for some people doesn't mean they have to escalate in the quality of their awesome.


I agree completely.
