I know it's not likely, but I really hope these end up in half helmets so we can add parts onto them.

The loyalty awards are a perfectly straight and upfront offer from Paragon: if you stay subscribed between date X and date Y, then we will give you Z in exchange. Dates X and Y bracket the release of a new MMO likely to appeal to their customers, and encourage people to maintain subs that they might otherwise decide to drop while they play with a new toy.|

You'll note that Paragon don't say retroactively, 'Hey, we're really pleased that you decided to stay subbed for the last four months, so we thought we'd give you this stuff.'

Soooooo...when do we get the stuff? Where can I see it? How do I know it's there? (Existentialist greed.)
For everyone asking they announced at the beginning of this it would start in December and end in March with the release being April 18th.
Also, I stayed subbed, not because of the gifts, but because of the game itself. I just wish they had taken time to make these things look unbelievable and scale. I know I should wait for the actual release, but with it being the 11th and them releasing next week they look terrible to me in the screen cap.
The helmets look like cardboard cut outs with the way the layers are arranged and spaced apart like that. It seem strange to be honest. Helmets should be "tight fits" because they protect the head...they are not headdresses.
Looking at the Helm of Tartarus Helmet artwork and then the actuall helmet depicted in the screen shot I can't help but think how my hamburger never looks like the hamburger posted on the menu in the fast food joint.

Here is my feedback? Delay the distribution of this reward to refine it such that it actually looks like a homogeneous helmet piece. Right now it looks like a mish mash of pieces and it is jolting to the eye.
The images I've seen so far look far different from the concept art and frankly I am disappoint.
However, I'd have stayed subbed for the duration regardless, so it's effectively "free stuff" - whether it looks better "in the flesh" remains to be seen but you never know... there might be another cossie comp for "also-ran" toons - those would be the perfect accompaniment
