So, the plot thickens.We are finally getting access to the Vanguard shoulders, the only piece [I think] you cannot buy with V. merits. I have wanted that piece for literally years. It is the coolest part of the whole uniform.
And we get access to the Vanguard guns. Decent looking guns! I might actually end up rolling an AR something! Nice news, I am happy.
While we wait for the vet rewards, they can make with the next booster, because I want that cat-head bad 
Oh well, one can dream right? heh.

It also includes the following weapons customizations: Assault Rifle, Axe, Bow, Claws, Dual Blades, Katana, Swords. Finally, the Vanguard Costume change emote is also included. |

After the fighting over it back and forth, isn't it now the proper time to open the Hero-1 time capsule thingy? It was 7 years, wasn't it?

Nope. The real Vanguard "shoulder" part actually includes the piece that extends down the back. That is what I was told last time I said I wanted it, at any rate. "Oh no! That's actually part of the shoulder piece!"

Quite a few characters did - unfortunately they eventually fixed it so all the extras have their icons greyed out so they cannot be selected any more.

That's good news all around. Giving me a shot at the WORST UNLOCK IN THE GAME is something I've been asking for for a very long time, and the way this is phrased, it makes it sound like Vanguard pieces will be in the editor at character creation.
I'm game!

I assume that's why it's a Pack, so that they'll be in at character creation.

Hello all,
Lots of questions, and I'll do my best to answer what I can.
Vanguard Shield
Yes, the Vanguard Shield is included with the Vanguard Pack.
Vanguard Chest Emblem
This is not included, as it's already a part of the 30 Month Veteran Reward.
Where do the Vanguard costume pieces show up?
At the tailor/character creator screen.
MVAS
It's very, very cute. The art team did a great job in setting up the summoning animation for it. I'll see about getting y'all a picture.
Define Active/Uninterrupted
Let's say your subscription gets renewed on 3/1. This is fine. As long as your account is active each day from 2/1 to 4/18, you're eligible. You'd be ineligible if say, you cancelled your account on 2/28, then waited until 3/1 to turn it back on.
Define Account-Wide
All existing characters, all new characters. Even if you've already unlocked some of these features already. So your L50 Ill/Rad controller that's run 30 mothership raids this month will obviously have the Vanguard hat, but so will your L1 SS/Fire brute you're going to create on June 1st.
What is Account-Wide?
- All Vanguard costume pieces that can be purchased via Vanguard Merits in-game today.
- The Vanguard Costume Change Emote.
- All Vanguard weapons customization options that can be purchased via Vanguard Merits in-game today.
- The MVAS non-combat pet.
- The Loyalty emote (and to clarify, technically there are actually 4 of them, one for each alignment. I'm confident the Paragon Wiki folks will figure out their actual names.).
- The "Constant" badge.
- The "Seven Stars" chest emblem.
What that means is, even if you've managed to unlock every single Vanguard item, the one unique reward you'll get is the Vanguard MVAS. And that's just from the Vanguard Pack.
The badge, chest emblem, emotes, are 100% unique for all players.
More answers forthcoming.

Yet in here - no.
At least this back should have included a choice of which existing costume pieces we could get. The vanguard stuff is ugly and easy to get. Would have been better if it was the Roman stuff, since some of us 3 am people who have no one to group with will never get our hands on it. Or like I said a choice per account , example: Roman, Vanguard, whatever else junk, i forget now. Would have been better. |
And to clarify the bolded type in your quote. You think the Vanguard cossie bits are ugly and you want to be able to pick what booster you want instead.
Booster packs have a cost associated to them. Thats what makes them optional. If you want it you will purchase it. Whereas this freebie we are getting has not had any monetary value associated to it. (At least not yet.)
This is the Vanguard Pack tied to the seventh anniversary. Not the I should get for free what other people have paid for entitlement Booster pack special. I also find it funny that you list the very thing you disdain within your choices for costume picks.
Sheesh...

Really? Easy to get? To get a full set takes... someone posted it earlier, but over 1000 VMerits to unlock. The Roman stuff, 1 run of the ITF. Easy. Now, would I like the option for this to be account wide? Sure. But I don't have the Vanguard costume on any toon. All toons above 40 have the roman one.|

Edit: Oh, and the Rommie weapons require his defeat 5 times, so you need to run it twice. Oh Noes!

The Vanguard Pack also comes with a unique in-game, non-combat pet, the Vanguard MVAS (Miniature Vanguard Assault Suit), a miniature, non-combat replica of the Vanguard HVAS (Heavy Vanguard Assault Suit).
I love you, Paragon Studios.
You've wanted more control and now you have it.
