I wish I knew who used the Outlaw Josey Wales quote in their neg rep hit. They may not possess enough character to actually sign their insult, but it was an enjoyable one.

Terrible idea. They're called "veteran" rewards for a reason.
Waiting your turn, like everyone else did, for veteran costume rewards isn't going to hurt anyone or ruin the game for them.

In this case, veruca doesn't sing "I want it now" and the Oompa Loompa song for her is just... lame.

Actually the best scene of the whole movie is this (and the brief look at the puppet burn ward later in the movie):

If it comes on T.V. watch it once. I don't think it is even worth renting, but that is a matter of opinion.

I'm only a 15 month vet and I still don't support this. Looking forward to getting my next reward keeps me in the game, even though I know there's a good chance that the game is going to be abandoned before I reach the highest ones

Please show your evidence that supports your outrageous claim. We want to see the reports that were generated by an unbiased third party company that conducted the marketing research which confirms that people are saying they would buy this game if only they had access to all the vet reward powers.|

We even want to see the reports that show people are refusing to buy this game because they don't have access to the vet reward powers.

Okay so you're still focused on the travel power reward huh? The following shows that there are options besides vet rewards or taking dedicated powers:|

Don't worry the dev's have something in place. At no extra cost. You can get from 18 months to 72 with no problem. Just wait for it. The vet reward system is not new to CoX. |

I think that allowing everyone in the game to possess all of the veteran abilities would be a good thing at this point.

WHAT IS THE WHOLE POINT OF VET REWARDS...answer that..and you get the answer to this and many other threads...Jeez why are people that dumb now a days

Vet Rewards are WAI. Leave them alone and wait your turn.
Dec out.

It has nothing to do with being dumb, it has to do with how some people have serious entitlement issues. To them the idea that they are going to be treated like everyone else before them is offensive.

And claim it is "unfair" when in fact it is exactly the opposite.

ok... for the newblets who just dont get it and think purchasable vet rewards are a great idea.... Let me introduce my best Friend Anology. Anology, please help them understand...
Anology: "Thank you Nezz. Ok newbies... Can you honestly say this wouldnt piss you off....
You been working for a company for 20 years. You worked your way to a nice office on the 5th floor, top of the building. You have a nice pay earning top dollars an hour, way better than the 10 you started out with years ago. Something you earned by hours of hard work and late nights which was rewarded with pay raises for your good work and loyalty to the company. Then one day, Charlie here just starts out out... He bribes the head boss with $20 and now charlie on the first day has a nice new office right by you and making just as much... Not only that, he may even surpass you because he keeps passing the boss $20's here and there which the boss really loves."
Thank you, Anology. You can go now.
Yes, it wouldnt be Game Breaking, but it sure as hell will piss a lot of people off. Me one of them. I should hope to God the Devs are not THAT dumb. Like others have sai, its a reward for time played. Nothing more, nothing less. Get over it now. Its not gonna happen.
"We knew that the current PvP community wasn't likely to react well to the changes as they wern't who we were making changes for, so it's understandable that there is continuing complaints from that segment." - Lighthouse; i13 PvP Forums October-08 The only person honest enough to tell us the truth. You will be missed, Lighthouse :-(
@Nezz - Guardian For Life!!! @_o...
I've just started on my third month playing this game, and 22nd of June, I get my trenchcoats for all characters. Somthing I've been looking forward to. Now whilst I'm one of these buggers with a credit card who has purchased all booster packs and the Mac SE item pack, I would not want to see the vet rewards become purchasable.
However, I do agree with changing it to a points system. Because while I look forward to getting the 15 month wings reward, I'm not too keen on the greek alphabet or the boxing costume kit, I know some are but I'm not.
You should earn say 15 points per month. Costume peices cost 15 points, perma powers cost 30 points, 45 points and 60 points, depending on how prestigeous they are.
Having a reward system like that would certainly make me stay
Quote:
No actually it wouldn't. Once you've used your points to cherry pick your favorite vet rewards you'll be left with looking at six years of nothing you like. Then you'll be right back here b****in and moaning that there's nothing for you to spend your points on.

Not if those points could also be spent on caricature slots, transfer tokens and other things that would be useful.

Except that now you're expecting what amounts to CASH rewards for that, since those are things you currently have to buy.
Dec out.
