Love the boxing set, mainly because it's only 4 items so you can have a lot of variation

Like the base telport too, more so on heroes, makes it easier to get to your base

I like the non-combat pet, just wish there were more than 5 choices

45/54 month rewards do look interesting enough (respec and a power that you chose not to choose earlier).....

A respec and nothing else? Far from veteran, and a huge let down. Feels really badly like an 'oh we ran out of ideas' thing...

@Scarlet Shocker, in the Dev's defence on your point about O-port Vs Base-port, the base-port Vet power was released long before the O-port. It's been rendered only less-useful, in my humble opinion. That, and O-port doesn't take you everywhere, only mostly-where (I know it's not a real word, but it works).

Very good point.

So then the thing to do I suggest is make the base teleporter available earlier. After all as somebody pointed out the Ouro portal doesn't take you anywhere below lvl 25 but you don't want to be taken many places and a strategic base hop when in a higher team could be of benefit.

Don't misunderstand, I'm not saying junk it - I'm not the one with the problem with vet rewards. They are nice to have and they are totally free, so why complain?
