ok, just wanted to see if i missed an announcement or something, is there some known issue with vet rewards right now?

my account creation date was 4/7/2007, it is now 4/13/2010, simple math leads me to believe i should have 36 month vet rewards.....
i have 30, stopped short of blackwand/nemesis staff, how awesome is that???
sent an email to support, but just wanted to see if it was a wide spread problem.


Oh yeah, that was the time that girl got her whatchamacallit stuck in that guys dooblickitz and then what his name did that thing with the lizards and it cleared right up.

screw your joke, i want "FREEM"

Fairly common issue that the vet rewards don't reward at the right time. Been doing it for a while now. Just petition or send a bug report, and they are usually pretty quick to respond and fix it for ya.

Don't send a /bug report expecting a response. Use /petition instead.

And once it's been fixed keep an eye on your reward dates. Often the following reward will be a little off too. After two petitions it is usually ok.

Mine is permanently broken, with dates all over the place. Sometimes they have to break your vet history, just to get your current stuff working again. Per CS, they are tracking the issue thought they haven't figured out what it is yet.

Mine's broken the other way. I just recently earned the 30 month Veteran rewards, but when I logged on today, I had 33-48 granted to me. And my account status says I've earned up to the 54 month Veteran rewards.

I've already bug-reported it.

Or not...

I sent an email to support on Jan. 5th for the 51 and 54 months rewards that were several weeks overdue. That got fixed in a couple of days, no complaints with CS.

But I had to sent another one yesterday for the 57 months reward, which I did not get either.

Third time the charm ??

So you've sent two petitions? If you have a 3/6/12 month sub check your account again. The dates of your next rewards should be listed.

When this happened to me I sent a petition and it was fixed. The very next reward was late again, so I sent another petition. AFTER the second petition my rewards were put back on the usual schedule.

Although, as mentioned above this hasn't been the case for everyone.

I had to petition 3 vet rewards that were late. After that it finally got back on track.

Aaand... on the other side of the coin; sometimes you get veteran rewards before you should, like yesterday (tonight?) I logged in and was suddenly awarded the 54, 57, 60, and 63 month awards... 66 and 69 followed a few hours later... petition those too... It'll be sad to see 'em go, but I haven't earned them yet.

The issue with getting vet rewards you haven't earned yet is a new one, seems to have started within the past 24 hours or so.

Same here (though not that many months awarded because I already had most of them). I had to petition because I did not get the badge that was due in January (for me). They fixed it but made a mess in my history of the dates when vet badges were awarded. A few hours ago I got three more badges which weren't due (well actually one of them was due tomorrow, I think) and when I checked my history log I noticed that my history log was completely changed. Now I have the history log in 3 month iterations from the date my account was created. This includes the timeframe when badges didn't exit and the months when my account was cancelled (I took a break from CoH a good while before badges were introduced to the game). Plus the given value of total paid time is much too low. Vet reward time seems to be largely ok, might be a month off, though (too low - can't verify because the history dates were altered).

Well, they broke my account around 11 pm Pacific last night. I know because I was on at the time. Having the 60 month badge pop in a 1.5 Months early came as a bit of a shock.

After checking my NCsoft account page, they have thoroughly messed up my account and vet rewards times.

The exact same thing as described here is what happened to my account, except that I know the Vet Reward/Paid Time is completely off.

Accidentally started a new thread about 9->15 happening to me yesterday.

So...leave it and enjoy my belly shirts and Sands of Mu?

Although there's probably no harm in using Sands of Mu while you have it, I wouldn't count on keeping it or the belly shirts (or the costume token).

Yay!! I got hit with this bug, too!! Logged in my main account, which just hit 48 months last week, and got the 51 and 54 month Vet Rewards.

Maybe they're trying to make up for all the screwups, and non-rewarding problems?

At least they're items I won't miss (too much) when they're removed...

Seriously, though. I've had to petition for my last 3 Vet Rewards, and all three times, I told them that the system is broken, and needs to be fixed...

This is the first time any account bug hit me that I know of.

Well, I would have gotten my 60 month reward on May 24th anyways. However I might get 63 on May 12th if the pattern holds. On the other hand my vet reward time stopped in February, according to the account page even though my paid time ends around the middle of June.

I wonder if the cause was the bonus subscriptions (12months+2 free).

Update
got an email from CS this afternoon, stating:
"A new system implemented this week appears to have corrected your Veteran Rewards."

And it did. I got my 57 months Vet rewards, and the messed-up dates for the 51 and 54 rewards were also corrected to the dates they should have been.

Hopefully, this "new system" will fix the bugs for y'all as well...

humm... could be, since my problems started after I re-subbed with the 14 months package...

... or it could be mere coincidence...

NAAAAAAAAAH ! *putting on tin-foil tuque*

I literally just logged in on Union and even though I got the 48 month Vet the other day, I was just awarded the 51 and 54 month vet awards. I'm pretty sure something isn't working here...

Hello,

We have recently upgraded to a new system to manage the City of Heroes Veteran Rewards. As part of this process, some customers may have received Veteran Rewards for time they were not an active subscriber. If you were affected by this issue, please be assured that we have no plans to remove any of these newly awarded Veteran Rewards from our playersÂ’ accounts.
'scuze me, I'm off to claim some rewards.

I have been away a while and from what I can tell mine are accounted right. Last time I played though I think it was under the badges tab that you claimed them, I can't figured out how to claim them now. Can someone let me know?

Thanks Aggelakis, that sounds like how it used to be, I just wasn't seeing what I needed to.

I also deserved my 30 month veteranbadge last week and was rewarded 33-48(my account also existed and went unpaid for approx. 2years), maybe 30 (and others) were bugged when the new system went in.

Mine doesn't say anything about the 54 though, what IS strange, is the site said I had 48, but the first day I had 45, and didn't get 48 in til the next.

However I've never purchased one of their subscription promotions (6month 1 free/12month 2 free or whatever), so that wasn't what triggered it for me.

It is VERY nice of them to allow us to keep them though.
