New Veteran Rewards

With only about two months until the next veteran rewards are awarded, it's time to reveal what they're going to be. Guesses?

But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

no no no no no no no no no no NO!!!! From now on they should have just one more AWESOME reward and then the rest should be respecs and cossie tokens and nothing more!

Veteran rewards are a very nice feature but they must have a limit!

The above is a noobs opinion

I think it should be called 'Little Black Book' and contain cell numbers and grant you the ability to call fateweavers/hero corps, facemaker/icon tailors, and VG/SG reps for paying base rent.


We don' need no stinkin' signatures!

I'd like to see the 99 month Vet reward be the option to pick pool powers without their prereqs (similar to the 60 month with travel powers, but for all pool powers). You'd still have to be level 14 to take the third tier and level 20 to take the fourth tier, but you wouldn't have to take Boxing or Kick to take Tough or Weave.

I'd also like that to be the very last Vet reward with an associated badge. You'd still get a free costume token every three months, a respec every year (or is it 9 months?), and a character slot every year... but no more badges.

I'm the rare sort of badger who wants EVERYONE to be able to get EVERY badge, if that's what they want to do.

Other Vet rewards I'd like to see include a summonable Market kiosk, which would be usable by anyone near the caster. A summonable tailor hologram or the like would be pretty sweet too.

Also, one of the ideas I'm less thrilled about would be a personal teleporter device that lets you teleport directly to any zone that character has visited before--give it a 20 or 30 min cooldown, like Assemble the Team... It doesn't seem overpowered or anything, just kind of useless given all our other transportation options.

Given the new difficulty settings and that you can occasionally have to tweak things as you move from team to solo, to avoid running into unwanted AV's, how about a handy dandy Portable Hero Corps Communicator/Fateweaver Psychic Friends Hotline Terminal.

With the PHCC/FPFHT, you can get immediate and priority access to state of the art voice recognition systems which will allow you to change your 4XP/SRSLY settings without the inconvenience of having to find an appropriate representative.

Or something.

Everyone can earn every Vet badge, eventually.

Only if they stop at some point. If they continue going until the point the game eventually dies and the servers close (which hopefully won't be for a long, long time), then it'll be impossible to catch up.

That's a good one, calling the fateweaver would be SAWEEEET!

That's no different than saying everyone should be able to experience all of the core mission content "eventually." If the servers close too soon after someone joins, that will also be impossible. However, its not relevant to whether the opportunity exists as a design issue.

As I've mentioned previously, this objection is also theoretically defuseable in a trivial way by simply stating that if the servers were to ever close, everyone would get every veteran badge at least one hour before server shutdown as a parting gift.

That...would actually be kind of nice.

IIRC, Veteran Rewards currently don't have any defensive power options. A short-ish defensive buff tailored towards particular damage types could certainly be viable.

... or we might just get some new base items. ;-)

I don't think there should be a limit. Beside, everyone gets a new Veteran badge every 3 months. I think people are just focusing on the "new" toy when it is announced. Unlocking the Demon and Angel wings is as cool as the Reveal power.

You're forgetting Battle-Hardened, for 48 months.

You can summon a buff pet that will give you a small global defense + recovery increase or a small global resistance + uhhh... (accuracy? damage? I forget, I always take the blue ones for recovery ) pet that buffs you until an AoE takes out its 10 HP.

Not just an AoE. The pets seem to have a built-in taunt aura that makes most enemies try to take them out before attacking their owners, absent damage. This actually makes the pets surprisingly handy as mini-tanks, at least at low levels, although they do more than absorb one enemy's alpha strike.

This, plus Contact numbers (with a special bonus of FAATHIM's NUMBER) when you first talk to them.



or I'm outta here!

Cooler, in some people's opinions.
I might have used these wings, and might do so again, but I've never used the Reveal Power, nor do I expect to.
I appreciate the Vet Rewards, treating them as gifts, but other than a "Thank you" from the Devs, I don't see them as a big deal.

I've been asking for this for at least two years! A choice between Cryonite Armor and the Wedding Band would be awesome.

Aside form that I'd gladly take double the slots of the 66 month reward along with 2 character slots

Those things are patently useless. In any event, I vote for "Little Black Book," but only if it has the phone numbers for all your contacts in it. Still plenty of travel time to missions and running errands, just more play time.

I was really hoping for the 5 year badge to be the last one. But they're still doing more. I'm already kind of annoyed with some of the high-end vet rewards because they can make a difference in your character even at high levels. I really don't want them to keep tying such good things to vet rewards.
