Awesome 
Good stuff for characters who have VERY tight builds and could use picking a power that would give extra def/resis.
18 months to go . . . . .

That assumes the hypothetical pool system would only have one pool. It could have multiple pools and this could be in the (e.g.) yearly pool...

Didn't you mention something like that earlier actually?
I like the idea of a pool system.

Maybe in the mid to late teans you will see an advantage but I usually find I am running out of stamina if I use to many powers at once so the extra slot can only be a little benefit.
[/ QUOTE ]
So freeing up an extra power slot can help go towards getting stamina - which can often be a painful 3 powerpicks to get?

Never been for me
Swift at 6, Health at 14, Stamina at 20!
Been pushing away travel powers to the late 20's since over a year back now. The Raptor Pack and Zero-G always last at least into the mid-high 30's.
The biggest advantage i see in this, i actually being able to skip pre-req power you don't want. And odds are now i might actually pick some travels i often don't use.

I have toons that don't even have travel powers and they operate just fine if anythin ill probably use this to take a travel power at 49 as there's normally very little that i want by that point.

This is why you can't pick VRs from a pool. Everyone would take this at 3 months.

That assumes the hypothetical pool system would only have one pool. It could have multiple pools and this could be in the (e.g.) yearly pool. Or some rewards could count as two rewards. Etc., etc. This isn't a reason for not having a pool system.
This reward is a good illustration of the problem of not having a pool system though. This is a nice reward. New players might like it. They're unlikely to ever get it, unless there's an alternative means of getting it.

Might be nice to have a pool system.
Leave the awards at their current levels. When you get to a vet award point you can either take the award due or save a "Vet Merit".
Vet Merits can be used ti buy any vet award you don't have thats at you current vet level or lower
OR
2 can be used to buy an award thats 3, 6 , 9 or 12 months ahead of you
3 Can be used to buy an award thats 15, 18 , 21 or 24 months ahead of you
4 Can be used to buy an award thats 27, 30 , 33 or 36 months ahead of you
5 Can be used to buy an award thats 39, 42 , 45 or 48 months ahead of you
Thus to get this fancy 60 month award as a new player you'd have to save for 4 vet periods (so you're a 12 month vet) and could then buy the 60 month award with your 4 Vet Merits as its 48 months in the future.

I like this, Really good idea.

I wouldn't buy one though, they are easy to get for free.
[/ QUOTE ]
That's kind of my point actually. It's not an advantage because its too easy to get around by other methods.
Maybe in the mid to late teans you will see an advantage but I usually find I am running out of stamina if I use to many powers at once so the extra slot can only be a little benefit.
[/ QUOTE ]this is what i was trying to get across as my point oh well

[ QUOTE ]
plus as stated in another thread, you have ourboroso tp, base tp, gather the team and mission tp.....i don't think i need to worry about speed anytime soon as i can easy skip areas to get to where needed.....if it was stamina well that be a different matter
[/ QUOTE ]
Ourobouros - Gotta be level 25
Base TP - Gotta be in an SG in your lowbie toon
Pocket D TP - Gotta buy it
Assemble the team - Doesn't get YOU to the mission, does it?
Mission TP - Gotta buy it
Travel powers at level 6 - Really useful for people, especially those who don't LIKE flying so don't want the jetpack!
[/ QUOTE ]now your being picky
Ourobouros - Gotta be level 25, so you have to be 25 to get it still save time
Base TP - Gotta be in an SG in your lowbie toon, you can use it if you team leader of a team got an sg
Pocket D TP - Gotta buy it, i guessing alot of people had to buy this after a certain data as you could buy a normal Coh/Cov in shops
Assemble the team - Doesn't get YOU to the mission, does it? it does me when i enter a zone and i get tp to the door
Mission TP - Gotta buy it, so i like stuff i bought it was only a one time buy and i get to play this month
Sounds like it's worth having to me.
13mths to go....
Awesome-socks!

Presumably you'd still need to pick 2 powers from the pools for the teir 4 power?
[/ QUOTE ]
Well, nothing has been said about teir 4 as yet so we would have to assume so I think. Although, I seam to remember that devs are very bad at setting flags in this game so there might be a bug in there somewhere. 
[/ QUOTE ]
Castle says 2 picks before tier 4 still.

That makes sense. Makes it easier if you just want a travel power but you can't get the best powers in the set (supposedly... maybe we should call them the top powers in the set) without spending more on it.

To the best of my knowledge, future veteran rewards are planned. However, I'm not on the rewards team, and don't know that answer as a certainty. Positron would have to give a difinitive answer.

I think we should get a 5 year 'cake' emote as well... like the cup of tea emote but eating a piece of cake or something...
Cake or death
;D
Come to the dark side...its all a lie, we DO have cake! Bwuahahaha!
