Veteran rewards

[d.]

I feel that the vet reward robe/cloak are pretty much useless. If you look at deathshroud, robe of gypsy, robe of regen, holy knights cloak, etc, having my 6th year rewards (fire/ice robe and cloaks) feels like a joke. Would it be possible for each year of vet reward clothing to have actual mods? Or perhaps new vet reward items, like types of shirts, skirts, kilts, half aprons, etc. I think that would be really neat, seeing as vet ones right now serve no real purpose. Please cast your vote and tell me what you think.

*another idea i just thought of; make vet reward clothing also hues you couldn't normally get (different than dye tubs and tokuno dyes and felucca dyes).

Yeah all vet rewards will eventually get an overhaul. Theres lot of stuff missing such as the ML mounts, and I'll see what I can do about the clothing since even on a OSI shard, they are useless.

I like the boost for the years. Giving it an extra point for up to maybe 10+ on a robe is a good idea. Also, there are some missing ones (Such as the flaming head statue and the banners) that can be put in. Not to mention OSI released some new ones (Custom player statues, polar bear mounts, etc).

yea, i wasnt refering to just phy resist getting the bump though death. I think vet reward robes should get like 1-3 (depending on year) mods, with ranging intensities (ranging on year) Nothing too amazing, just something that would equal out to a little better than a robe of gypsy or death shroud. It makes sense in my eyes that a VETERAN REWARD should give the VETERANS a REWARD for being a VETERAN, but as of now a day 1 character can use a robe of the fallen gypsy + holy knights cloak, and vet clothing is basically nothing in comparison.

Artys > Anything intensity wise. I mean hell someone had to earn that holy knights cloak. I dont think that vet clothes should ever be Better than artys. Maybe close. But in reality the arty clothing is more rare for a reaosn. Clothing itself shouldnt be a suit unto itself. Oh and I also dont think itd be right cuz well, what other vet rewards give a direct boost to your combat ability? None? yeah i think that might have been for balance issues.

i understand that. arties should be better like holy knights, but stuff like robe of regen and gypsy robe and deathshroud are all fairly easy to get. What I am proposing is that the robe/cloaks go up in atributes/intensities by the year, so a 1-4 robe will be decent, but the rewards for 5-6 should be something worth using. It is as simple as this:

The majority of players that have accounts old enough for 5-6th year rewards already have arty robe/cloaks, so their is no point in using vet points for the clothing.

Squirrel understands this, and like he said, its under a lot of other important stuff on the server. I'm sure in the future we can see some clever new ideas for vet rewards that death/squirrel design, that make a "vet reward" actually feel like a reward =].

Then I misunderstood cuz it sounded like you wanted them to equal or be slighty better than the arty clothing.

Vet rewards are more "flashy, look good items". For example, vet dye tubs and polar bear ethereal mounts. They don't really give a player more power but they are useful and nice to have. If we add rewards, they won't necessarily be artifacts or powerful items but maybe things like soulstones or items with magical purposes that vets can use to their advantage.

lol, nice hit Red. Vet rewards are something that Vets can get to show status and age. When you get a Veteran's Award in Army status, you don't get a super duper Rocket Launcher for ground combat. Vet rewards are something that add a little here and there and give the player something to go by a newer player and flash a little status. They're not made for OMG OWNAGE items, I hate to say, although it'd be really cool to have some like that. Maybe the staff can work something out, talk about maybe a boost in items and stats, and maybe some exclusive AoV items just for our favorite Vets LOL.

PS- Staff = Death/Red/Myself lol, I'm here too

to clear this up:

I was not saying we chould get "ownage" vet rewards, simply that the robe/cloak are relativley useless at the moment. Red Squirrel has said this is true and that they will be revampoing rewards in the future. Quit trying to misconstrue my idea. Just let the staff take care of it, they have already stated VR's will be looked at.

I have an idea. Start out with a small statue of a penis, then every year you can get a bigger statue. Or perhaps you just get the balls for year 1, then an extension every next year.
