Levels as Vet Rewards?
[ QUOTE ]
I'd rather see the following 3 options available to you if you already have multiple 50's on your account (say 3-5 lvl 50's) -
1. start new character at lvl 1
2. start new character at lvl 14 (tvl power)
3. start new character at lvl 22 (SO's)
I'd rather see this implemented as a reward for accomplishment vice account length.

The problem with gating any awards based on the "number of level 50 characters you have" is that even before MA made PLing a 50 only take a few -hours- a person, if they really wanted, could PL a 50 in "traditional" farms in just a few days. It wouldn't be much of a 'special' award if people could start taking advantage of it in under a week. *shrugs*
I don't like the OP's idea at all, but it would pretty much have to be a high month Vet award for it to make any reasonable sense game balance wise. And as I said before even -that- is a bad idea in and of itself.

If they knew about it. I could have had my first 50 in under a week... if I'd known how. But I didn't learn any of that stuff until later. To some extent, the reward here is about cresting the learning curve, which is appropriate.
Still... I'd prefer this option as an account-wide unlock gained with an accolade. Say, all exploration badges and a handful of others.

Since that was posted to another thread on similar idea, then my reply stays the same:

SO's are nice, but what about my VEAT? It really doesn't get fun until 24, just 2 more levels.
But what about my MM? 26 for the big pet...just 2 more levels after that.
Now wait, my dom and contr have pets at 32, so you better make it 32.
But my friends and I want to do co-op and what is 3 more levels to 35???
Well, if you are going to give me 35, 38 will let me have all my primary and secondary powers.
And if you go to 38, epics are great too, so let's do 41 instead.
Why bother with 41, I mean 50 is just 9 levels away. So let's just have 50's.
[/ QUOTE ]
Short version is that there are different milestones for each AT and not everyone is going to be happy. So, people are just going to ask for other levels to be rewards since some were put in (like 14 and 22 suggested).
The game is a journey, and a relatively short and easy one at that.

Well let's just say if you want this to be a badge-based award then I'd suggest it should require Immortal, Leader, Empath, The Chosen One and Bug Hunter at the very least. That should keep most people from worrying about it. Or maybe they could require that you have a character with at least 700 badges.

No Thanks. Vet Rewards are not meant to be game breaking... and to me ANY level bump for vets is game breaking.
[ QUOTE ]
Actually... I'd say City Traveler is more game-breaking than giving vets a bump to 14 would have been. In the latter case, they'd still have to fit that first power into their builds.
[/ QUOTE ]
I don't have City Traveller yet (only a bit over 51 months) but I plan on still including Hover and Combat Jumpng into my builds. I don't use TP or Super Speed, but I would likely include the pre-req powers for them in my build as well. I might take them out of order, but I would certainly take them for their own utility.
