Adding to the Vet rewards


Amour_Man

 

Posted

Hello all I was thinking that some of the vet rewards could be a lil more interesting, my idea is that a single power enhancement slot should be given with each vet reward earned.

I personally would like a slot for each toon per reward, but another approach could be to give a single slot which can be assigned to anyone toon per vet reward and non transferable after used.

Was just wondering what others thought of this idea and hoping a dev sees it comments all feedback would be appreciated.

Veteran rewards shouldnt be that powerfull, although they need to be a reward to be so loyal, it is rather unfair for new players or even 1 year old to ever reach 4-5 years.

I don't think that's unfair at all, it's not like the vets haven't been at the 1 year mark... I waited ages because I wanted my Blackwand vet power.

Dont think per vet reward would be good tho, maybe an extra ench slot every 6 months would be a little less OP.

I def have some toons that are crying out for more slots,,, heck make them purchasable i'll still go for it!

Worst. idea. ever. ... Giving people serious ingame advantages over others by making them pay for it. The cries of Doom errupting from the forums following this would make the world go deaf. And I'd be crieing right allong with them, so much even that I might forget to pay my subs.

Passing enhancement slots out as vet rewards isn't much better.

will 1 slot every 6 months is probably more realistic, dont think it would give that much of an advantage over other players that way, Ive also got alot of toon that could use an extra slot or 2 those could help out alot especially for those lv 49 powers u can only slot up to 4 slots.

Don't see how this is relevant... Unless your talking about PvP I don't see how it would effect you, 1 player having more slots than another? If they are in your team, you may even benefit from it.

No to "Pay for" enhancement slots, much as it may be NCSofts Marketing Departments wet dream.

If they introduce new systems to earn Enhancement slots via gameplay fine. But "earning" them via a wallet is not the route I want this game to go (further) down.

yeah the pay for it part wasnt a serious suggestion hence the " xD "

But make anypower slots available through different badges, for example..

You get 1 extra enchament slot from...

Vet reward, 12month, 24month, etc etc
Another Accolade available same as accolade powers are now.

or they could be used as rewards for playing content the devs want you to play..

*500 hrs spent PvPing.
*Special reward for recognised Arc in architect system by Developers
*You have been fighting crime for a total of 5000 hours
*You have hit the 500 badges marker

Things like that, everything is a suggestion but you get the jist of the idea... nice reward for things that everyone can do.

I agree about paying for them, I wouldn't spend the money ever, but saying that im sure there are a lot of players who would probably would,will most likely be a lot more players yelling and swearing about it though.

Other example, lets say the 54 gives you 3 slots additionaly to use in your character, bypassing the 6slot maximum.

I would have it, twice, but someone who started last year will never make this mark. You think CoH will still be CoH in 4 years? (2013), unlikely. It is even doubtfull how this game will be in 2 years (for those reaching 30 months - 2,5 year).

how can 1 slot be more overpowered then all the mini pets and extra power, they also give an advantage over the other player.
1 slot per 6 months is realistic enough, nothing OP about it.

@This topic, No, No, NO!

Good idea, extra slot every 6 months. That will give castle nightmares. How to "balance" toons with extra slots?

I'm confused, are you saying that because the game wont be around in 5 years then the Vet rewards arent' fair on those starting now? Tough. I have only been playing a year, don't expect to ever see these rewards, but don't see any reason to complain, I haven't been playing long enough.

I'm neither for or against this, really don't mind either way, but don't think the Devs should consider those of us who won't get the rewards when creating them.

No to extra slots that everyone at this point in time can't earn. In game extra content added to make a decent system to earn them sure. But very unsigned to make the purchasable or long time Vet rewards. Unless they change they way vet rewards are handed out.

something like 1 slott per 12 months should be ok at most your going to be able to six slot one extra power (providing your a 5 year vet)

While it would make veats more powerful than new players it wouldn't be by a huge margin and i would argue that a veat should be more powerful than a new player.

veat? Villain epic AT?

Ok, with 1 slot per 12 months i could live. But i wonder, as US getting its first 63s now, what in 3 years time would you be giving those guys then? (they would hit 100 months)

I rather see funny gimmick things, such as unique animations like GW's pvp rank stuff, or some toggle-costume we had during haloween. Stuff that makes you 'special', but not make you more powerful.

The thing i mean, is where to draw the line? First you give them more powers (SoM, axe, etc), then more slots, what is next? Unique IO's only for 60+ vets?

The recent addition of picking a travel power at 6 aint really breaking, since everyone can get a travelpower at 6 due the bank-mission, but you have to draw a line personaly. (i know,its weird that a veteran says it shouldnt be that powerful )

or maybe the extra slots gained could be used to enhance the vet powers already gained (ie SoM, GsA ect.)

well if they've stuck with the game for a 100 months i kind of think they deserve something a little special

also at a 100 months that's only a extra 8 slots but i can see where your going eventually the veteran in question would get to the point where they could 6 slott every power

but again veteran rewards as i understand them represent a level of commitment over and above that of the normal player giving such dedicated players something a bit extra doesn't seem all that bad or game breaking. But if there is a fear of acquiring to many slots there's no reason why the slots need to be given every 6 or 12 months hell they could give a slot at 6,12,18,30 and 42 so you would have 2 free enhancement slots within a year and a 3rd 6 months after that with only 2 more at 12 month intervals and then leave it at that. that would be enough slots to 6 slot 1 more power which while making the toon more powerful i don't think it would tip them all the way over into god hood.
