*cough* Veteran Rewards Have Arrived To...

I am comeing up to my second year anniversary on the 25th of this month, I'll expect my Perp Intruder Rising Code in my Email then >_>

On a serious note, subscribing to MxO for years doesn't count as faithful service?  Mabey they count it as stupidity

LOL!

*ninja vanish*

I was the MXO veteran reward...

I was the MXO veteran reward...

Eat your <3 out Vanguard!

I was the MXO veteran reward...

I was the MXO veteran reward...

And it's great. But i'd rather claim my other veteran reward, later.

Remind me in 1 week.

I was the MXO veteran reward...

Oh god no say thats not so... j/k

Grave

I was the MXO veteran reward...

Yeah i agree..Virrago you are a great asset to MxO and we are glad to have you but come on...The community needs recognition too(veterans).Can't you just do something about it?I know you can do it.

I don't know what you mean. We do have veteran awards.

What about Hyper Jump Beta?

... oh wait...

Mobi-- no...hang on...

I think you misunderstand what a "Veteran Reward" is, it is something that is given to anyone on a set date subscribed, say one you have been here 1 year and you'd get an item via /claim.  Mobius and HJBeta were Pre-order and/or story rewards so were never "Veteran" rewards. 
Beta Clothing isn't even a Veteran Reward, it is a Beta Reward.

True. But given the time that has elapsed since BETA to now, it does technically imply that these items were in the hands of veterans of the game. Thus, are they not veteran awards?

Ah, but on that theory, I could play MxO for 10 years but couldn't be called a Veteran but I am splitting hairs now.  Mobius and HJBeta lost all its value Q1 of 2006 thats why it was put into a quest.  No other rare items will be put into a quest like that as it was wrong for them to do it with Mobius and HJBeta.

For Veteran rewards, I would be very content with a set of clothes on it with a unique logo of some sort for each year you are subbed, they can have those scaling buffs or no buffs at all, it would be just something unique and is something to point out how long you have been here.

If we do get veteran rewards, I predict that the first one will be the Verdigiris shirt, effectively pissing off all five people that went to FanFaire and got one.

Haha.

Id bloody hope not.

correct me if im wrong...but it was green and shiney with lines?....green commando shirt? lol i cant remember but something reminds me or it for some reason >.<

Vet rewards would be nice, things i'd like to see? Where do i start:

1. Perps: be a nice add but too much time effort for new effects to be bothered with.
2. Clothing: buffed or unbuffed it would be sweet....(if you cant call a mask that has the only 5% ballistic damage a major effect in pvp i dont know what is )
3. Abilities: Again nice but not gonna happen.|
4. Pets: Hell no i dont want to see those as its just random -.^ unless you can figure out a way to make them fit storywise :/

Best suggestion: "beta" type clothes...simple...purposeful. (:

Perhaps if it was a different colour, say pink... then it wouldn't *CENSORED* off those 5 people as they'd have the only green ones, and everyone else would be happy too " />

I vote for a shirt that says

" I subbed for X years and all i got was this lousy shirt"

insert number of years for X..

LOL

3 Month Reward
6 Month Reward
12 Month Reward
24 Month Reward

Etc... All based on your subscription.

I liked the idea about adding a chevron for every year you've subbed in total... but the problem is you'll get quite a few people running around as triple chevrons and sooner or later everyone will get them...

There are perhaps 4 possible things that can be used as vet rewards; Clothing (with or without buffs) Weapons (although I'd prefer Org based reward weapons for Zion, EPN, Merv and Cyph) Special FX's (Not one given out by archive award, something new. Not perma but an extended timer, say 5 mins or so...) or finally an ability like a perma Shadow pill (although not one of the current shadow moves)

Possibly the easiest two of these are;

Clothing, but unless you get new models then they'll just be reskinned clothes, and if buffed give higher buffs per year starting at 22 in all to keep in line with the current scaled shirts then the next year you get another shirt or something with 25 in all then the year after, another shirt with 28 etc... Perhaps different in looks too... /shrug

Special FX's, yeah Rarebit would have to design a new FX per each year (Sparkly Pink Aura FTW! ) but none of them stack with each other else you'll have someone like HT with like 6 FX's on at the same time  At least you can activate any of them you want for 5 mins or so.

*CENSORED* please! I KNOW you're not going to balk at giving up your precious shirt, when you just got access to an ability you didn't earn in one of the two ways it was originally offered.

What a *CENSORED* hypocrit!

Wait... did they start giving out the Verdigiris shirt with new trial accounts too?

That doesn't have the slightest thing to do with my calling him a hypocrit, and you know it.

Let me spell it all out, since it seems that, in this case, the irony of his hypocrisy was lost on you.

• One guy jokes that the first vet award will be some specific item that had to be earned through a specific requirement.
• Another guy, who owns the item referred to in the joke by doing what was necessary to get it, states that they shouldn't use it in the manner it was being joked about.
• The irony of this is, this same guy wanted (and got, I might add) veteran abilities that he didn't earn by doing what was originally necessary to get them.

I just felt it was my right to point this out. Your semantics of whether something is considered a veteran award or not has no place here.

No, it does have everything to do with it. You're pissed off because 'Veteran' abilities or whatever are now being given out due to the fact that marketing gave them to new subscribers. Those caught unfairly in the middle were just in their complaints. The new players weren't 'Vets' or 'Beta' players, thus negating the status of the abilities.

Nowhere has it been said that the shirt Havocide has is being given away so his reaction would naturally be the same as 'Vet's had when their oh so special abilities started getting given out with new accounts. If it was and then he said 'I hope not' that would have made him a hypocrit.

The shirt is not being given away like Mobius or HJ-B, Beta clothing is not being given away like Mobius or HJ-B so his reaction is quite appropriately the same as anyone with Beta clothing if they were to become Veteran rewards.

Wrong. I'm pissed because this guy wanted (and got) an 'exclusive' item he previously didn't have, but when it came to his own 'exclusive' item being given away, he said "hell no" for the very same reason that we gave as a reason not to give those 'vet' abilities away ("they didn't go to the fan faire, therefore they didn't deserve them").

Your argument has nothing to do with this and is best left to the other thread.

I'm with Vinia on this one, both items were handled very differently:

• One was given to anyone who put a deposite on their trip to Fan Faire
• The other was given out to pre-orders, an event and to anyone who subscribed a trial since early 2006 not to forget the odd White Room PVP battle

So I think it is unfair to say hypocrit as they are different scenarios, the Fan Faire shirt still has its exclusivity Value where as starting loads of trials and selling Mobius and HJBeta caused their value to be that of about 40 sticks of Gum each.

Lol, the exclusive items lost their exclusiveness with the trials. Beta clothing and the Verdigiris and Burning Eye Trench are still exclusive items and shouldn't be given out. You're having a go at him for having the same response as anyone would have with true exclusive items. Mobius and HJ-B aren't exclusive and hadn't been since they were given out with the new trials.

They were exclusive to those people who pre-ordered, were there during the DotD event, or decided to play the game on a trial.

How is that exclusivity any different than the exclusivity for items awarded to people who submitted the most bug reports, subscribed during Beta, or attended a special out-of-game function?

Face it, the only reason you are arguing with me on this is because you are on the receiving end of this deal.
