Annual Vet Badges Not Rewarding?

Hi,

I passed my 6 year anniversary in CoH last week. I received the additional Paragon Reward Token for completing a whole year but have not received the 6 Year Veteran badge.

Anyone know if this is busted? Has anyone received an annual badge since Freedom?

I have a petition in but I thought I'd ask here in case it was a known issue or other people are having the same problem.

There have probably been relatively few people to hit an anniversary in the last few weeks since CoH:Freedom started so there might be some lingering bugs that most people have not seen with this yet. I'm sure your petition will work out and for all we know your individual situation here might help them find a bug that'll be fixed for other people in the future.

I should have received the 7 year vet badge in September. In October I sent a petition about that and my reward token not awarding at the right time. I received a response saying that the reward token would show up on the 28th (it did, approximately), and that they're "working on a resolution" for the vet badge problem.

Hi Guys,

my annual Vet badge was due 01 October. Nothing received yet.

I did the usual petition and repetition and had a flurry of responses from different GM's/CS guys that said nothing positive. They gradually tailed off with no word for about 2 weeks now.

I did receive one token in the middle of the month but have no idea what it was related to or for what period it belonged to!

I am not sure if the award of an annual Vet badge gives an additional token?

My old system Vet rewards billing/account sub dates were (01 April/01 July/01 October/01 January) with the 01 October being the annual due date.

So because my new system dates are (should be? Man who knows under this stupid system!) due on the first date of the month I think that on the 01 October I should have had one token for the month and my new annual Vet badge and (perhaps?) the extra token that comes with it.

But as it stands, now it is 01 November and I have not had anything so far.

Maybe the live fix today will get a grip of this nonsense!

Don't count on any response from CS. :/

My 7 year badge was due in Sept but not received.

I raised a ticket and it was acknowledged to be a problem "to be fixed with a game patch" at some unspecified point in the future. My ticket was then closed.

I would encourage you to also raise it as a ticket so that it moves up the "priority to fix" list.

I'm surprised tickets get closed when the problem is still outstanding, but that must be their fault management process. :shrug:

Poor customer service if you ask me.

Eh, I know it doesn't really matter much for Turg anymore because he already has all the Paragon Reward badges. And I don't really care when people get their monthly points because anyone can buy as many of those as they want anytime they want.

Finally if Turg still gets his Paragon Reward anniversary badges a few weeks earlier than his -actual- anniversary then that won't be too bad because at least that'd only be wrong once a year instead of his Vet badges which were wrong 4 times a year.

Just chiming in here to say I am in same boat as OP, My anniversary date was Oct 31, No 5 year vet badge awarded. Raised a support ticket and still waiting on an 'official' response and still no badge.

The eventual response to my ticket was "This is a known issue. We are working on it and hope to have it resolved soon."

Not the answer I wanted but they seem to have screwed up so many back end systems with Freedom that I'm not surprised.

I received the same response to my support ticket. For a Known Issue it seems the only place it has been posted about is in this thread.

The problem here is the difference between a "known issue" that affects a majority of players versus an issue that only affects a small minority. For every publicly reported known issue there are probably several dozen others we never hear about.

Obviously as time goes on this particular badge problem will start affecting more and more players so the sooner it's fixed the better. I just wouldn't worry about seeing it plastered on any public list any time soon. Even when it is fixed it might not get its own patch note because these types of "embarrassing" bug fixes often get fixed silently under the radar as it were. *shrugs*

If this had been listed under Known Issues, I wouldn't have bothered to submit a ticket and waste my time or CS time in trying to fix a "Known Issue" that needs to be fixed via a patch. Since this probably (my guess) ties into the Paragon Reward Tokens and Paragon Points awarding issue it isn't a minor bug and most folks probably haven't noticed it yet since it doesn't bring a Paragon Reward Token with it.

My point was that if they always put every important "Known Issue" on a public list it would probably be dozens if not hundreds of items long. It'd basically be impossible for them to maintain such a public list indefinitely. Sure they might give us temporary "Known Lists" from time to time but they would never be complete and we can never expect to see everything on them all the time. Bottomline I'm not surprised at all to NOT see this problem you're having here on a "Known Issue" list. *shrugs*

I'm not trying to suggest this is not a bad bug and I'd like to see it fixed ASAP as well. On the other hand I know the Devs have been fighting bugs related to these particular kinds of "Vet" badges for years and sadly there's no reason to think that all the bugs were going to be fixed once they switched over to the Paragon Reward Tokens and Paragon Points systems. It sucks that some people are having trouble with this new type of Paragon Reward anniversary badge but I'm quite sure the Devs are trying to fix it regardless of who reports it to them.

They've been delayed for me too. One account was supposed to hit three years almost a month ago and still nothing.
