Vet Reward Issues

Alright, so yesterday was my four month anniversary of playing COH.

I have yet to receive my 3 month reward...

My account history looks something like this:

Quote:
Trial Sep 18, 2009
Retail Sep 20, 2009 (Architect Edition)
City of Heroes® Good Versus Evil Special In-Game Item Pack Sep 30, 2009
Retail Oct 2, 2009 (Mac Edition)
Perk Oct 12, 2009
Perk Oct 15, 2009
Perk Nov 12, 2009
Retail Nov 28, 2009 ($4 CoV Box from Big Lots, Woo!)
Perk Dec 10, 2009
City of Heroes® Wedding Pack Dec 19, 2009
Perk Dec 23, 2009
Wolfram Alpha says that equals roughly 4.1 months, or 123 days.

Now, there are two possible answers to this problem... Either

A) My Friends are wrong and the trial period doesn't count, in which case I will receive my 3rd month tomorrow on the anniversary of my purchase of the game.

Or

B) At some point my Vet Reward Counter froze...

Either way, I'd like an answer (and my trenchcoats!) please?

I haven't gotten my 60-month badge, which should have awarded back on January 2. I put in a support ticket yesterday.

Well, A is definitely true. Since Veteran rewards are for time on a paid, full account, the trial time shouldn't count towards your Vet Reward total. But you started your paid account on Sept. 20, meaning you should have earned your 3 month reward on December 20.

Thus, I have a feeling there might be a bit of an issue with B. You seem to have done pretty much the same stuff I have; namely, you added every single retail edition you could get your hands on in a very short time frame. I've had some issues with my last two Veteran Rewards (63 and 66 months) and had to send a petition for both before they were awarded, and I think adding so many retail versions might be what caused the snafu.

Submit a petition in-game letting them know (politely) that you should have been awarded the 3 month Vet badge on December 20. If you haven't gotten your badge or heard back from them by tomorrow morning, log into the support center on the PlayNC website and update your support ticket (rather than starting a new one) and let them know that you haven't received a reply yet.

Actually, when you buy a box, you get a month free, yes? Wouldn't that push out his actual turnover date to Jan 20th, since he cruised on a month free first before hitting his "paid" months?

I'm not sure on this, just hypothesizing. Either way, he'd know tomorrow.

OP: What does your "Vet Schedule" say you're due? If you look under "Game Details" on your NCSoft master page, you'll see a "Veteran Rewards" link, with info like this:

Quote:
30 months - Committed Nov 6, 2006 Details
33 months - Unswerving Jan 27, 2007 Details
36 months - Addicted Apr 26, 2007 Details
39 months - Ardent Jul 26, 2007 Details
42 months - Fervent Oct 26, 2007 Details
...etc. Copy/paste your whole list here so we can compare with that.

It should show your total paid and total vet reward time on your account page.

Quote:
Total Paid Time: 1 Years, 4 Months
Veteran Rewards Time: 1 Years, 10 Months
It should be right above your listing for when you get/got your vet rewards.

Quote:
Veteran Rewards
Reward Level Date Awarded
3 months - Trustworthy Nov 6, 2006 Details
6 months - Faithful Nov 6, 2006 Details
9 months - Dependable Nov 6, 2006 Details
12 months - Loyal Jan 2, 2007 Details
15 months - Zealous Sep 6, 2007 Details
18 months - Staunch Jul 27, 2008 Details
21 months - Steadfast Jan 22, 2010 Details
And in case anyone is wondering, your free month from buying the box does count. I have 4 boxes added to my account, 1 Refer a friend, and 2 invite back(15days each) for a total of 6 months.

My Veteran Rewards box just has a link to the Veteran Rewards Page...

My total time says:

Total Paid Time: 0 Years, 0 Months
Veteran Rewards Time: 0 Years, 2 Months

Which doesn't make sense, because I payed for this month! It wasn't a free month like my other ones!

It even says on the billing summary page:

Jan 2, 2010 16806882 City of Heroes® [1 month subscription] $14.99 (USD) Paid

I'm sending a support ticket then...

If I could find the button to edit the one I sent in game on the website...

The "free" month you get when you buy a box still counts towards Veteran Rewards. Somebody paid to get that box.

That someone being me!

...Well, the CoV Box was due to the consolidation of CoV and CoH combined with a mass over printing, resulting in shops such as big lots buying the excess stock...

But still payed my 4 bucks! D:

I was supposed to have received my 9-monther on the 16th. I emailed ncsoft as wella s bugged it lol. Waiting on a reply....

The system is bugged. Log a petition and they will fix it for you.

Vet rewards seems to be having a issue recently. I was actually 2 months over due before I noticed and placed a petition. My vet reward was awarded the next day (on Christmas eve no less).

A petition should take care of it for you.

Mine got fixed a day or two after I sent in a ticket to support.

Trial time counts as well, since all you're doing is switching its status to full, not creating a new account. I started my trial Christmas Day, and that's generally when I get my year anniversary badges, though this last one was one I had to petition for.


Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

Got a response to my ticket today.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us on this issue. I was able to verify that an error has occurred. As such I have adjusted your account to show that you are eligible for the 60 month Veteran rewards. Your characters should reflect this when you next log them in.

If you need assistance again, please let us know and we will gladly help you.

Regards,
GM Roland
