This is a fantastic announcement, I can't wait to use the Vanguard weapons on my lowbies. I also hope that the emote includes the alignment icon below the characters feet as shown. That really is an awesomely high res graphic.

From how I read it; it will be a pack available to buy but as part of the loyalty scheme this year anyone who's subbed for the loyalty time will get it for free.

Indeed, one less set of blades for all my sword-wielders to use/unlock.

In addition. I read as part of the Vanguard pack so it'll be like the Mystic Fortune/Secondary Mutation - a seperate power.

Definitely a nice choice of loyalty reward. Now I can focus on getting enough for the VG salvage stack. I hope David managed to get the second VG belt and the back detail in. I think my head would literally explode like that guy in Scanners.

It's amazing that people are complaining about getting something for nothing. It really says something when the devs give us something they didn't need to, and people cry that it's not enough, or not impressive enough.

I think this is great. I've got at least one character concept this will work for, as I didn't feel much like grinding out Vanguard Merits after doing it on other characters already. Thanks Devs!

For those complaining nothing forces you to keep the subscription...
I mean, this is only a reward for those that keep the subscription. I am going to keep it anyways so for me is a BIG deal.
Great goodies we get just for being loyal 3 months. Its awesome.

No, no, NO! When we said "please please please make it so we don't have to unlock all that vanguard gear on every single toon", what we meant was JUST US, NOT OTHER PEOPLE. So it can be special evidence of hard work and dedication without being such a pain.

I am sure I speak for the entire forum community when I say that I didn't say what I said yesterday, and I'm not going to say what I say tomorrow. So fix this!

No offense intended, since it's what I assume booster pack should mean too. But
the announcement is also carefully worded, and looks to me like it may be more of a
temporarily-available unlock and a booster in name only.

I'm cool with it either way. I'd just like some clarity.
You should just send a tell to Aveata if you need that much proof. Out of curiosity why do you think this loyalty program will only offer limited time rewards when the last one applies to every new character you make?

I just noticed that the badge features Maelstrom and Desdemona:


Very nice!

I am sure they will give you a full refund of the purchase price if you find it disappointing. Heck, this one comes with a double your money back guarantee!

So the badge rewarding loyalty features two people who've switched sides?

It isn't easy to simultaneously insult the devs for wasting time, and spending no time, on the exact same thing. I would have thought that was semantically impossible until just now.

Our players are the bestest ever.

Just checking, but my sub (on the 6month plan) comes up for renewal right in the middle of this span. Since it autorenews anyway, surely this counts as being active for the duration, right?

I will be really cheesed if I fail to get these goodies because NCSoft borks my billing.
If something happens and it fails to go through for no reason you can determine, contact support when it happens. Or Avatea.

Yes. Otherwise, they'd be insulting all their month-to-month subscribers.

They're already insulting month-to-month subscribers by giving yearly subscribers the best sub fee.

Very stimulating.

I like the emote- the rotating circle of stars looks very nice and well done.

The tease to the animal pack makes me smile and puts me in a good mood.

The Vanguard gear is going to make dressing up my alts at low level so much win. I like that. I like the pet too.

I really want to resub for this one, because I like the feel and attitude behind it. Very cool vibe. I like it. Feels good.

I would like to hear if there is any progression towards adding anything new for bases... with the same vibe as this promotion.

Very cool. You devs definitely deserve more resources, a huge raise, and limitless radial freem.


Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.

I have no idea what that could be. You are most likely correct with it being just the lighting. I also think the grey rectangle next to it might be some clipping issues.

Just as Cassandra was cursed to fortell the future, but never be believed, so too was the primal MMO Developer cursed to always announce things that the players wanted, and get yelled at for ignoring the players. It is not the players who are powerful, but whatever dire forces the first MMO developers displeased. They say this has been true since the days of the First Nerf.

as long as your subscription is uninterrupted, it'll be fine.

ok yes very cool, but um... I'd like the Vanguard guard back detail... you know that small think that makes them different from us
