Vet Costume Unlocks

[QUOTE=Noyjitat;2329334]Im up to 2 years now. But this is one of the many reasons I'd like to see the vet reward system get a complete overhaul.QUOTE]

whoa, not until I get MY boxing shorts, I have a Tony Danza Boxing character in the making here. (patent pending)

Well I think they can may be reshuffle the order of Vet powers, toss all costume related powers to earlier slots. I'm about hit 60 months so no biggie me how it all goes down long as I get everything I was due.

I dont think it's a bad system, as I think was a cool idea. I have also bought every single extra pack as I want all the bells and whistles that go with the game. I can understand people waiting certain pieces sooner, as I remember when it first came out my partner I game with wanted the wings ans samurai armor really bad.

May be just add some shorts same way they added extra wings and boots besides the vet ones. Which brings me to another point. I'd like see all costume unlocks become account based. Whether its by missions or inventions, etc. I'd like be able start a new character with all stuff I've unlocked rather have wait. (besides the obivous cape/aura missions.)

I don't think the 60 month badge is game breaking at all. Sure, I can skip hover go straight to fly at level 6 and then pickup a power from my primary/secondary that I might not otherwise have taken if I had to take hover first. But that's not granting me a 5th power pool, a second Epic, or any power I could not have taken had I not taken that flight power pool to begin with. By that logic the Ghost Slaying Axe, the Black Wand, the Nemisis Staff, the Sands of Mu, and the Buff Pet vet rewards would all be game breaking as those are powers above and beyond what you normally could get in game, especially for non Veterans.

As for clueless Veterans, sure there are plenty. I'm not going to say I know everything about the game, heck I don't think I have a single character with access to ITF. But in general higher vets should be people new players could turn to for general advice on the game. Are they the best to group with or to get build advice, no. But could they direct you on how to find things on the map, find a store, answer general questions, you would hope so.

All in all I'm for the veteran reward system and I'm constantly looking forward to the next reward level that I'm about to hit. Is having custom pieces in there any worse than making you pay for them like the booster packs, or giving them away for Hero Con only participants, PAX events, etc, I say no. It's just another way for you to stick out and show some individuality and some form of accomplishment beyond the standard in game options. As for the custom unlocks being account based, I'd be okay with that as long as the capes, auras, additional costumes stay mission based as they are, as mentioned above. Just my two cents.
