Who cares if you don't like the rewards. You prolly won't even be here 66 months. I think the 66 month rewards are flippin awesome. Every single one of my characters can use 'em, and I only have to wait 4 months. YIPPEE! |

Extra salvage slots sounds pretty good to me, actually.

They can't make the later Vet Rewards too good or people would be complaining that veteran players get an advantage over newer players. Which people do anyway.
Be thankful you even get Veteran Rewards at all. They didn't even exist until Issue 8, 2 and a half years after release.

I have heard other people that I know complain about this issue actually. I personally think that if someone has dedicated 60 months to playing the game then they should get something nice but that something "nice" is all in the eye of the beholder. I don't see anything wrong with the current vet rewards and I am sure if you contacted the PR agents they might be able to give you an official statement as to why the rewards are what they are.

Vet Rewards are a mixed bag. You get four per year and you can't expect every single one to be super awesome. I expect something awesome at least once a year.
I love Reveal. I thought the 5 Merit reward wasn't worth the effort.
I love the Wings and Trenchcoat and Kilt. I thought the Boxer Outfit and the Greek Letters weren't worth the effort.
But hey, free stuff.

Once again, I declare the vet rewards working as intended. Some people complain about them being too much and they should be available to everyone. Some people complain that they're lame and should be bigger. Since we're getting complaining on both ends, the reality's probably in the middle.

Reveal admittedly is awesome, and the vet attacks start unlocking early enough to actually be useful. It's still my opinion that any new vet rewards that grant useful powers should just be permanent versions of temp or craftable powers that are available to regular players. Which is something the vet attacks already are, and day jobs made the base teleporter available as an accolade power. i think there should be a reveal recipe or mission reward added with 5-10 charges as well. |

By the way, i hope you're not totally serious about the "slap in the face" comment. That seems a little bit of an overreaction to me if you are.
Mostly i think the vet rewards are about right in utility. The ones that can't be acquired through other means are sort of neat without being overpowering, and at least the costume bits unlock relatively early on. (Okay, i find Reveal incredibly useful for solo paper and scanner missions, but i've already said that i think it should be made available to regular players in some fashion.)

I look forward to the recipe slots especially and the salvage slots to a lesser degree, but I look forward to both. Then again I play 50s most of the time and getting drops is a big part of how I play the game. Apparently, this reward is aimed at players like me. Some previous ones have not been. You win some and you lose some - welcome to being part of community diverse enough that the devs can only satisfy some of its members at a time.

I agree 66 is lame lol but 60 and 63 one are awesome! I think those two are the best.

Teams are the number one killer of soloists.
awesome vet awards are subjective, the 3 month trench coat is great, i'm now waiting on getting my dumb greek symbols so I can get on with waiting for the kilts! (I have an idea for a toon for that one) But what I REALLY can't wait for is my rikti monkey hologram guy following me around!!! hee hee hee
