24 month Vet power, Is it still worth it?

Just been chating to a friend who got thier 24 month vet badge last night and decided to check up on what comes with it as it's only a few months off for me now.

Now though i'm looking forward to the vet titals and the fre toon slot (Just in time for GR? I hope so!!) the vet power, Base Teleporter seems a bit redundant to me. Most of my toon now start with being parked at the base portal for the bonus pres for my SG, but once you gain the BP badge and the patrol XP badge you gain the Rapid Response Member Badge/Trouble Maker accolade and along with it charges for day job base teleporter, which works exactly like the vet reward one, but with half the recharge time.

So, is it worth it? Yes, it means you have to earn charges for it, but that takes almost no effort. should it be replaced, and if so, with what?

I don't think it should. Yes, you can get a version of it - but a temporary version, which the vet reward makes permanent. This fits right in with other temp powers (sands of mu, ghost axe, nem staff and blackwand.)

Besides, it's nice being able to teleport twice as often to a mission. >.>

Yes, it's still worth it. If you log out at the base portal for the extra prestige anyway that's great, but I don't. I have that day job badge on exactly one of my toons, and I don't intent to get it on any other. Day jobs for me have to fit thematically with the character. I use the vet base teleporter virtually every time I play and would hate to see it replaced.

I use mine all the time, on a majority of my characters.

I also would not like to see it replaced. I rarely log out at the base - frankly, I don't need the prestige bump and some of the other Day Job perks are better for most of the 60+ alts I'm running.

Logging out at the Base Portal is a choice you have made, but others have chosen differently.

I frequently use my Base Porter Vet Power to go to my base to hit my Workshop to craft stuff or stash drops in my vault (during a long TF like Quaterfield, for example) when I'm not going to take the time to hit the CH immediately. Also good for quickly hitting the base for stored Insps.

I find it useful. I haven't generated enough Day Job time for that temp power yet.

I have to agree that the Base Teleporter VR is worth it. I find myself using it constantly on my veteran Mains, all the way to fresh level 3s. Replacing it makes no sense.

I go with the "it's free, it doesn't hurt me to use it, therefore it is worth it."

Still worth it? Absolutely. Another way to get around quickly. And almost all of my characters are after different day job perks; I think I only have one or two that have even earned the base teleporter perk.

It's not as useful as it used to be, but the day job power isn't what caused this. It was the Ouroboros portal.

I used to use the base teleporter to get around the city (and before that the Pocket D VIP pass). But Ouroboros is faster and more convenient, especially villain-side.

Part of the problem is that base layouts have become completely labyrinthine since bases allowed arbitrary positioning of objects. Many base designers have carefully hidden the teleporters half a mile from the base entry point, or require that you use superleap or fly to reach them.

Now I just use the base teleporter for getting to zones like Dark Astoria and Crey's Folly. And to to get to the base .

Of course, you don't get the Ouroboros portal till level 25, but that happens very fast now.

Oh yes it is still worth it.

I use it at least once every session. Couldn't live without it.... well, yes I could, it is just so damn convenient.

Worth it? It's a free power that comes from not cancelling the game. The only way to not get it is to unsubscribe. It's free (assuming you are are paying to play the game, not just get nifty vet awards).

There are several vet awards I never use. Many of costume pieces, free and reduced tailor sessions, the base items, even the pets are things I don't usually use. The base teleporter, on the other hand, is a power I frequently use with all of my characters.

We get a base teleporter after 24 months? o.o

(not that I've been in much of a position to use one...)

Well... I use mine all the time. I usually try to log out at sites that give Day Job credit for badges I don't have yet. But even having both can be useful; one is almost always up.

And as far as "worth it"... it's free. I would have played this game even without the vet rewards. IMO, something with no cost is almost always "worth it" unless it's detrimental.

People who don't think it's "worth it" can always choose to not click the button in the Vet badge list.

I use the vet base teleporter all the time on many differemt characters.
