60 Month Vet Reward

I suggest that they let other players (those who have not played the game for 60 months) be able to buy a "Power Pack" that allows you to access the Flight, Superspeed, Teleport, and Superleap Power Pools at level 6 without having to take a tier 1 or 2 power in that pool.


That way, those who have the 60 Month Vet badge, do not have to pay for this...but those who do not have the 60 Month Vet badge will have to pay for this feature. Everybody wins.

And those that pay for it, that will become 60 month Veterans, then get nothing for the 60-month reward?

Yeah, I know what your saying Aett_Thorn...but then again...it's your choice if you want to buy the "Power Pack"...you can wait till 60 months to get it for free or you can pay for it now.

Snow Globe: It's not the fact of getting Flight at level 6 that makes the 60 Month Vet Reward extremely useful...it's the fact that you do not need to take any prerequisite powers to get it.

Instead of having a build with Hover or Air Superiority in order to get Flight...you can have a build with Flight and you can get something other than Hover or Air Superiority.

no. that is all. nothing more needs to be said.

name me one vet reward other then toon slots or respecs that you can buy with real money. and i don't mean subbing for the game to get the vet rewards either. and while you're at it, why don't you give some reasons why you want this.

/beging sarcasm: in fact, why don't they just make all vet rewards purchaseable? /end sarcasm.

This is not a Doom post I swear...this is purely hypothetical...

I have the 30 month badge right now.

What if this game doesn't last 2+ more years? Then I never even get a chance for this.

...or...what about those who just joined this game...what if this game doesn't last 5 more years? Then they never even get a chance for this.


Making it available for purchase gives everyone a chance to have it...and it gets the devs more cash.

Vet Rewards are the third rail of Suggestions. It's best just not to go there.

This is the one Vet Reward that can change actual builds.

All the other rewards are just additions to your build. This reward changes your actual build.

Here is a very long discussion of the topic:

I don't think we need to repeat all these arguments again.

get past the build thing and think this out man. do you really want to piss off a lot of players who may quit do to the fact that they paid 5 years worth of sub fees to get that cool power because you want to be able to purchase the power for $10? that will kill the game. what is in place now does not kill the game. please, go search purchasable vet powers and see why these types of ideas are shot down.

hey look, ad even did the work for you... have fun reading.

I understand what everyone is saying and I will let it go.

It's just unfortunate that I didn't hear about this game when it first came out, so then I could have got or at least be closer to getting the 60 Month badge. Unfortunately I will probably never have the chance to get it.

if you think the game won't be around in 30 more months you are probably going to want to store those words in a air tight can so you can eat them in 30 months...

No. Veteran rewards are for sticking around, paying long-term for an account (money that NCsoft can rely on), not for plunking down ten bucks whenever you feel like it (money that is too changeable for NCsoft to rely on).

...and just for the record...I was only talking about being able to buy this one reward as a power pack...I was not suggesting being able to buy all the vet rewards.

I usually don't do this...but I have to.

Just pointing this thread out.

I haven't played in two years...came back today to find out that anyone can select a travel power without needing a prerequisite...which is awesome.
