With the 6 year badge in the rearview now we're within a couple weeks of people hitting 75 months. Has there been any word what the next few vet badges will be? I can't filter out any obvious announcements on the site or in the forums.

I doubt there'll be much more than a respec token (if that) for a vet reward. I imagine the devs prefer to keep the bigger rewards for the yearly anniversary vets.

Yea mine says same. Guessing they just did it that way cause it was easier then start going over the account. (I did get 3 char slots tho, one for 72, one for 84 and one for 96).

If memory serves, they tend to do em two rewards at a time, and around the time the second reward will come. So if we're due for 75 months now, they'll release the 75 and 78 around the time when we're destined to get the 78 month reward. Or perhaps they just won't bother any more past 72 months, who knows

No, they generally release them around the time the first is going to be handed out. I'm only a couple of weeks behind the front of that curve and they've yet to skip a vet reward month like that.

Thank goodness someone other than me finally started one of these threads. I know I should be getting mine in about two weeks or so. Curious, yes!

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

Your use of the word "generally" is the operative word here.

In the years since the Vet Awards were introduced the official announcements of the next new awards have spanned from over two months ahead of time all the way to about one week AFTER they were supposed to arrive (about two years ago there was a case where the Devs patched the upcoming Vet Awards unannounced into a beta of an Issue that didn't go live until about a week after the given 3 month anniversary date so technically that Vet Award was late for every old timer).

So given that unpredictable history there's really no reliable way to judge exactly when the official announcement of the next Vet Awards will happen. My guess is that because they are very busy with Going Rogue and I18 that they will not only cut it close to the wire again (for the July 28th anniversary mark) but I would expect the actual awards themselves to be pretty cut-n-paste and unremarkable. *shrugs*
