Hmm... I'm probably confused here but arent the vet rewards supposed to be... Just shinies? (like that discount at tailors) and not actually affect gameplay in a major way? (not that it matters since you can get temporary travelpowers these days.
Or is it compensation for the 57 month one? Or rather something shiny that will distract the complainers.

That settles it. Travel powers at level 6. Fly without Hover. Teleport without recall friend. This will open up a valuable power choice in many builds. Jesus.

I am not complaining at all, I think this is a good one. But the pools open at level 6 anyway, or are they just doing away with the pre-requisites for a travel power?
also Superleap?? is time becoming a travel power too 
Oh Boy!

this badge unlocks access to the following Power Pools at level 6, so players can access Tier 1, 2, or 3 powers early on.

Doesn't that then go against your previous post?

Why not? The badge unlocks the powers at a lower level, just as a patron badge unlocks patron powers for use. You can still respec into and out of powers and pools. It would be more effort to deny existing characters access.
So yes, your main will benefit from this.

Oooh, this could prove very intresting
And i spose i will still be playing in october this year, which would be when i should get it
See? I *told* you lot that the 5 year vet reward would be a good one!

Do not go gentle into that good night.

I'll let you know what I think if the game's still going by January 2014... By which time you 'old guys' will have access to so many powers at level 6 your brains will explode on seeing the selection screen.
Bit more from Positron...

Actually, it means you can SKIP taking the first or second power in the Travel Power Pools and, at level 6, pick the travel power immediately. No pre-requisites.

I think that's a great idea. After you've been here for so long and seen and done virtually everything on the game, it's frustrating creating a new toon and plodding around like a three legged greyhound in treacle for 14 levels.
When I first saw that I thought "so what, not much of a reward for 5 years". However, when you break it down, it will help tons in maximising any build... should be able to get rid of unused powers now. You could have all primary and secondary ones now without being penalised too much.
Hopefully 63 months will now look at useless epic powers you don't need, but have to take to get too the ones you actually do want... would help tons more, espeially red side.

*edit +1 *edit*
And when I think about it... Wont this affect pvp? As in long term players get more out of their primary/secondary with this?

pfft picky. Those temp powers you can get from safeguard missions aren't the same thing at all. Imagine it now...look, Is it a tweety bird on its way home with a worm? Is it a speeding killing device on it's way to some poor sap? No it's just some jumped up twit wearing a backpack to make us all think he can fly like a hero.

Anyway, highly shiny bit of news there. Also, note the other new bits of news - one bonus free toon slot per year could now be on the cards...
Is it time for the dance of joy yet?
Well that means I could move powers around in Schro's build and take recall friend at 49 rather than early on.
Cant think of any Leapers I have that wouldn't want SJ but I might well ditch hover or AS on a couple of flyers

They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
