What I said was that I don't see them adding to the earlier rewards unless it's something that can be added repeatedly like the free character slot we get at 12, 24, 36, 48, etc. Maybe something along the lines of a free server transfer token. |
I really don't see a problem with adding anything extra directly to the 45 and 69 month awards, even if it's something as simple as extra inventory slots or the like. I don't really understand why they could only add stuff as long as it was "periodical" like your example. *shrugs*

Actually I read your post a couple times then went back to my posts to check what I said in them. I'm actually glad to hear I misunderstood what you meant. |

Yes.
Remember when we had to go to each consecutive stop on the train in order to get where we were going?

I remember playing for about two and a half years without the thought that there would ever be a Vet system in this game. That does not now prevent me from thinking the 45 and 69 month awards are the only two awards that don't have anything "unique" related to them and it seems weird that they are the only ones like that. Why do they have to be the only ones to be special enough to be "unspecial"?

It's been suggested before, but... Vet reward costume claim tokens. Rather than getting the costume pieces for the vet reward, you choose which piece goes with your reward. Then, people who want boxing gloves don't have to wait years and if they're not particularly fond of the super sentai pieces, they don't have to get them when they could be getting what they do want.

I'd actually like to extend this to costume sets that are locked by the game through late-game activities, like the Rularuu weapons, the Roman gear or the Vanguard set. Speaking of which, what's today, like 22nd? Cannot wait!

sure do, doesn't change the fact that months 45 and 69 aren't rather conspicuous... or seem to have kept you from saying something that was said at least one other time already

I'm going to stir up the pot a little with this: Why ***** about something that is given to us as an act of appriciation for continually playing a game? The devs don't have to give us vet rewards.

Having to wait months to unlock costume pieces was a bad idea to begin with. Without there being some sort of way to unlock them ingame earlier anyway. I think right now you have to wait 50ish months just to get those arachnos helmets.
Friends don't let friends buy an ncsoft controlled project.

the arachnos helms are one of the few costume pieces that SHOULD be a vet reward, and NOT avalable to every one, the reason for my saying that is simple... in order to get JUST ONE previous to the vet reward system you would have had to preorder CoV (the original release) from I believe 1 of 4 retailers, Best Buy, Game stop, Software etc and I think circut city (not sure on the last one) so in order to have them all you'd have to have pre ordered in 4 spots so as some one who did pre order and paid $50 for Cov when IT FIRST came out I feel I did something to earn them and ergo should not just be a free to every one piece... That said I would not be opposed to a booster with the helms as well as the power silde and the arachnos cape and chest symbol (not the gay one we ge as avet reward but the real one you got in the dvd edition) that came with the CoV DVD collectors edition for like $6-$10...

I currently have the crabspider helmet because there for awhile you could find them very easily on ebay. Got the COV/COH collectors as well on both accounts as those are easier to find.
Would be great to see boosters of this stuff added at some point.

I feel bad when I have to tell new players that the only way they can get Powerslide is to find an unused copy of the CoH DvD Collectors Edition.

I felt bad when I Payed for it way back when and found out it was bright pink.

You necro'ed a 6 month thread for THAT? And the thread isn't even relevant any more, now that Freedom and the Paragon Rewards system to replace the Vet Reward System has been announced!

Speaking of the 69 month veteran reward, have we spoken about a Leisure Suit Larry suit?
