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 SMILEY

I personally don't care about having little rewards ingame for veteran players, but it's understandable people would be offended by this.

Kidnap the Vanguard dev team?

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.

#36300438695 04/07/2008 13:26:11 Re:*cough* Veteran Rewards Have Arrived To...
From what I've seen and experienced with SWG's vet rewards and now this one is that most of the 'rewards' are just decorations or items that are only special in their appearance nothing too game breaking for non-vets. MxO doesn't have the system for vanity. FX's are gained by Archives, perps by way of rewards and they don't affect combat too much (Yeah I know about upgrade deleting...) We have no player housing (or hovercraft) to decorate etc... and MxO isn't about redpills and their pets... (But I can have my Override Bit) so what would people suggest for Vet rewards?
#36300438742 04/07/2008 14:22:46 Re:*cough* Veteran Rewards Have Arrived To...
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.

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 SMILEY
#36300439171 04/08/2008 10:02:43 Re:*cough* Veteran Rewards Have Arrived To...

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 SMILEY)
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. (:

Ive got it!

A limited edition, special, pink, "I'm a vet" T-shirt.

Would be a reward, as pointless as our usual rewards, not hard to craft for the DEV's (you cant tell me modding yet another *poop* with words on it is impossible) and would satisfy the desire for ANY reward system for veterans.

Odd, either I typoed or S-h-i-r-t is now a banned word....

#36300439306 04/08/2008 14:01:01 Re:*cough* Veteran Rewards Have Arrived To...

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 SMILEY


#36300439460 04/08/2008 22:03:51 Re:*cough* Veteran Rewards Have Arrived To...
How about an item or a special clothing set with buffs that increase the longer you remain subbed?
For instance a coat that has +1 All Resist for every month of subscription since Launch.  For those who've been around the entire time it'd be at 36 and for those like me who've been 'round a couple of years it'd be 24.  Any breaks you took wouldn't count towards the points total. 
#36300439461 04/08/2008 22:09:28 Re:*cough* Veteran Rewards Have Arrived To...
3 Month Reward
6 Month Reward
12 Month Reward
24 Month Reward

Etc... All based on your subscription.

#36300439514 04/09/2008 03:08:39 Re:*cough* Veteran Rewards Have Arrived To...

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! SMILEY) 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 SMILEY At least you can activate any of them you want for 5 mins or so.

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.

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"SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />.

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

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.

During the start of the first trial, Mobius and HJBeta were still tradeable, so everyone a lot of people got their hands on them anyway, thats was the first blow to their exclusivity.
