Cool. Most of the helmet options in the game aren't nice looking quite honestly. Some of my toons might actually wear those new ones.

Also: consider me stayed. That Stateslike helm is perfect for my Tank!

Too obvious?

I have no interest in saluting Statesman. The program itself is cool though.

I want a pet tiger or lion now
Or a dinosaur would be neat or could make a CoH meets Stonage: a dino pack with heads and a dino pet and a [dino run] XD and have pterodactyl wings and velociraptor feet and a longer tail n stuff!!

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

My question: will these helms be tintable, and will they be available for all three body types?

Of course, your post was rather vague, so who knows to what you're specifically referring.
I was a little vague, I admit. Some of the issues are art-related though - broken/missing costume pieces are a long-standing issue. I'm also not happy that there's so many text and naming issues in the game too - especially when dealing with the market and Inventions.

So... let me get this straight... more free stuff since I planned to remain subscribed anyways?

I'm in.

I had no intention of unsubscribing between now and then, so here's hoping nothing happens to my account that prevents my account renewal every month

I really like the looks of those helmets, and I look forward to the other items as well.

@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.

So these items will most likely show up via account email like the retro Veteran Rewards - and not be swapping out with and replacing the Celestial sets in the Paragon Rewards correct? I assume this because of the non-interrupted service requirement.

Yeah, that's how I'm reading this "Salute to Statesman" too... a wake.

However, the pieces themselves sound quite nice, and I like the look of the helms. We'll see what the chest detail turns out to be, and I can always find use for a ccemote and a new aura.

Never-the-less. I think I will ask Santa for a 3-6 month plan for CoH this Christmas.

Yeah, I'm such a tool.

Shame nothing in his Loyalty program actually gives the players anything other then flair.

I approve. Those helmets are enough for me, anything else is just icing on the cake.

So I was just talking to some friends last night about how my VIP status ends on Dec 16th since we probably won't see new incarnate tiers until late spring/early summer. Ironically that happens to be around when the loyalty program ends also. Makes ya think. This is probably just a last ditch attempt to keep people subbed while they continue to release content at a snails pace.

All my 6 accounts are good until June ~ August.

I guess I'm getting 6 packages of all that.

Can't blame you, mine expires on Dec 13, but my Tor pre-order starts Dec 15th, don't really see any actual incentive for me to stay.

Never mind the future "Loyalty" stuff, just get the current "Loyalty" stuff fixed!

Like the now 2 months overdue annual Vet badge I should have. Me and lots of other "Loyal" players.

So many cats - So few recipes!

Age is of no importance,

I don't see why they would use the mail. This is pure account backend, like the other loyalty programs they've run. There is nothing on the player's end to mess with unlike most of the other account item stuff.

I can't not think of this.

Interesting theories on the wording for this loyalty program. I'm keeping subbed so hoping the goodies are worth it I also hope those helmets are properly colour tintable rather than some of the more recent items.
