Pfft... Speak for yourself. That 7 Stars emblem was pretty much made for Ascendant, Ramshackle's going to look pretty sweet decked out in Vanguard gear, and the MVAS pet is going to be a welcome addition to Doctor Crom's already impressive array of robotic assistants. Pure win, if you ask me.

Ascendant
Now, more than ever, Paragon City needs heroes. Do your part to save it.

As a hoarder, I would MUCH rather have the "junk".

This is great news! I have a couple of heroes that I wanted some of the Vanguard pieces for their costumes. The chibi HVAS is great too! I have a hero that would love to have one... btw, could we perchance be able to have it do the robot dance emote? That would be so awsome! Also, someone, I think Golden Girl, mentioned it would be nice to have a Loyalist and Resistance emote as well. I also think the Vanguard poster would make a great SG item. Can't wait to get this pack!

Well, Vanguard gets love....Vanguard, that organization that accepts the scum of the Earth and allows them to fight alongside true heroes...and forces the heroes to endure the presence of such human refuse just to have the chance to fight against the Rikti. (from a purely hero-centric viewpoint, of course)

When is Longbow going to get some love? I know of a LOT of characters who have their backstory or character development containing some association with Longbow, while very few if any I've seen have ever referenced Vanguard. I'd trade Lady G and her mini-onions en masse for a set of Longbow costume options.

Devs...please?

WOW! What an awesomely cool veteran reward for being a loyal player for 7 years! An account unlock of the hardest costume set to earn in-game! Fantastic veteran reward, thank you so much!

Umm, wait a sec...what?! It's for anyone who stays active for a couple of months?! Pfff, great, now every noob-a$$ed lowb is gonna have it. Nice.

This is probably best handled in another thread, but since I don't now where that thread is...

I'd also love to see some Longbow/Freedom Corps costume options. Vanguard has had theirs for awhile now and Arachnos has their own AT! Longbow you never hear from unless you one goes rogue, needs to be rescued or you are asked to hunt 30 of them just to get another costume slot.

You guys always give me the best birthday gifts. Thanks.

Dear NCsoft, if you go through with this shutdown you've guaranteed you'll not see another dime from me on any project you put out, ever.

You're kidding, right? Did you not see the announcement for the 81 and 84 month Vet Rewards? If you don't think a free self-rez (that works like a DingRez), and remote access to the Auction House, are insanely good vet rewards.... you must be one of those people who are impossible to please.

Considering I got a yearly resub back in December with some birthday money that was given a little early (Dec. 4 1982!) I can safely say that I am going to LOVE this. No chance of interruption and free costume pieces for all!

If only the Vanguard had a cape to go with the rest of it...

Wait...is that....

High quality animal head! YES! Die you filthy mongrels that were claiming they'd be so crass as to make each animal pack a separate purchase and we'd only be getting the bird head and legs!

Wasn't replying in regards to the 81 month and 84 month rewards - which I do think are ok. Was just feeling a little miffed about how quick they were to give up all the Vanguard costume set pieces, weapons customs and cc emote, the toughest full costume set to acquire in-game. Why not just design a completely new costume set as part of the 7 year reward instead? I'm just sayin' my opinion is all. I could see maybe giving the helmet pieces and weapons custom, but all of them? Seems to me a bit of an over-reaction to impending customer base loss from DCU Online going live. From that business point of view, makes total sense to me.

It's because one of the Alpha slot components can be crafted from vanguard merits. But it requires a lot of them so the chances of anybody ever crafting a V costume peace is nill. And there would be inevitable complaining about the massive effort it would require to get it all.

Quick question

I have my re-up due in the middle of all this, last year it stepped in the way of me getting the time active rewards. I wanted to make sure this is a smooth transistion (I pay my one year I have ordered next month...)

Is this going to be an issue this year?

Thanks,

The Gr'Ai Matter costs 150 Vanguard Merits and can only be crafted once per 18 hours, on a level 50 character.

A full set of Vanguard costume pieces is about 850 Vanguard Merits, and can be bought piece by piece by characters level 35 or higher.

A typical Mothership Raid gives 300-400 Vanguard Merits for anyone who's there the entire time, and slightly less if you only join after everyone's started fighting the Rikti on the saucer. Not to mention that it also drops Incarnate Shards for Alpha-enabled level 50s.

In other words, if you can be on three Mothership Raids at some point between levels 35 and 50, you can get all of the Vanguard gear and not miss anything Alpha Slot wise.

To avoid that issue entirely, I'm purchasing time before my account expires. I'm using PayPal for this, but I'm not sure if you have to. The idea is that prior to Feb 1, I'll have an account that's playable until the middle of May or so and I'll resume my normal subscription then.
