Most likely the wizard set just so we can rub at other people's faces with like the bird set.
But honestly could be anything. The 1k reward info might possible be reveal around mid-june or july as most who have that many days subbed would reach 1k by then.
I'm being told I have 1041.33 days
*looks at watch and taps foot*
heh... just kidding, I'm being patient, but it would be nice to know what it'll be, or when it'll be... especially considering i'm almost half way to 1100
Glad to see this game still alive. Hopefully I can one day get my hands on a computer capable of playing this game again. It feels like my lifetime sub has gone to the way side.

I actually wish they'd do the same thing with CO they did with STO, which is give lifetime subscribers all the rewards right away.
Yep. Because sure. people may argue "oh hey we had to wait for this crap and subscribe every month"
as well as argue some weird bs about putting in effort to guarantee they stayed gold to get it, ignoring the fact that LTS is guaranteed to stay gold so it's a nullpoint to deny it.
I'd love to have LTS unlock vet rewards instantly. Because the way i see it. If i literally waited the whole 1000 days for the final reward, i'll either be gone, or CO will be gone by around day 600 (i'm being generous) because of the total stagnation.
I would really like to know when the 1100 and 1200 day veteran rewards are going to be implemented. I'm at 1245 days now. Is this game dead in the water?

They announced a while ago that the Vet Rewards were stopping at 1000 days for both CO and STO...

Don't forget just making the easiest change regardless of how negatively it impacts your loyal costumer base instead of actually NOT being lazy and doing some programming.
Like.. not doing broad-stroke updates (AKA nerfs) to the legacy devices, legacy device cooldowns, legacy device cooldowns while in device tray, legacy device damage and operation nerfs, etc etc etc when they could have just made pheremones and eruptions unique.
And.. like making all "veteran" rewards gatherable at once for someone that isn't a "veteran" but just plunks down some cash for the game... Instead of creating some new incentives and rewards for LTS that were separate from the "VETERAN" rewards since.. oh I don't know.. everyone that already has those rewards actually HAD TO WAIT TO GET THEM. You know.. logic.
And the list goes on.. I"m already tired of typing about it.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but bugs aside, most people seem to like this change. I know everyone is going to have different opinions on this, and I'm sorry that it negatively impacts you, but I do believe this change is for the best.

If you mean out of the 20 people or so that check the forums on a regular basis.. sure, I appear to be in the minority. But try moving your demographic to encompass the folks that are already over 1,000 days that actually had to wait for their veteran rewards and it meant something when they got them. LTS or not...
Sure, it's a small thing. But the small things are piling up pretty fast lately.
EDIT: Sure, there may be a few people that are all-for this change. And I'm glad LTS is getting it. What I don't like are the constant kicks in the tenders for the folks that have been here forever.
LIke putting all the hard-to-find devices in a drifter box that we spent weeks if not MONTHS trying to get to drop before. Or nerfing the prototype vehicles, or nerfing the legacy devices, I mean.. the list goes on and on.
Before too long you'll have Scourge and Cursed items in a box.. there comes a time when you have to grow a backbone as a company and just realize that your long-time players ARE the ones you want to keep.

I'd like to note that this thread should remain civil, please.
While I do agree that veteran players are hugely important, it's also important to me that new players have reasons to want to become veterans. The VetRewards change, to me, is a way to do that. For a new player right now, the prospect of waiting that long is a turn-off. I'm not saying that it wasn't a daunting prospect for people who went LTS early on, but there's a difference in expectation between a day-1 LTS and an LTS purchase today.
And.. like making all "veteran" rewards gatherable at once for someone that isn't a "veteran" but just plunks down some cash for the game... Instead of creating some new incentives and rewards for LTS that were separate from the "VETERAN" rewards since.. oh I don't know.. everyone that already has those rewards actually HAD TO WAIT TO GET THEM. You know.. logic.
Speaking of logic - it would be logical for someone who talks about wanting a game to thrive to be accepting that people are given a new incentive for LTS when I've already seen LTS members quit for good.
Don't get me wrong, we've shared legitimate complaints about Cryptic choices in the past. But when you start claiming that golds tinting DAs for silvers is a exploit and reportable or complaining that newer LTS members don't deserve their vet rewards, you lose almost all credibility.
Non-life time members earned their rewards the hard way.
Lifetime members have paid their investment and should have automatically been issued all vet rewards from the start - they've already paid a premium, there's no reason they should have to wait.
Let's unlock the crafted travel powers for LTS players. :biggrin:

You mean besides the reason that they are "veteran" rewards.. which is what I meant when I said "logic". "waiting" is what everyone had to do. Which was the point.. hence "veteran". I don't know how to make this any clearer.
Non-lifetime members earned their rewards the same way LIfetime members earned them.. They waited.
And, I'm sorry.. but while you're discussing an exploit in the game. You might want to consider the fact that gold accounts are the only ones allowed to color powers/devices. Something silvers aren't allowed to do. The command to do-so isn't even active for them. So, working around the mechanics of the game to get their items colored is absolutely abusing a bug... Or did you think it was just a suggestion that they don't have the ability to color their powers/devices? hmm..
You hit the nail on the head just now.. I missed it the first read-through. You said "newer LTS members don't deserve their vet rewards". That's not true. I believe they deserve them but they should earn them the same way the rest of the LTS vets did... by actually becoming veterans. After all, that's exactly why it was created.

Really.
I think he means when we got things like VIP Caprice access and costume sets. Our last veteran reward costume set was 500 days ago.
Stormshade or Robobo did mention it in one of the other threads about the late rewards.
They want to leave it until after the current rebuild of the system and make an actual reward rather than rushing something out of the door now.
Sounds good to me. I kinda gave up on it now so I hope they make it a good one when it comes out.
How about I owe you a smack upside the head?
no just G's
What are you talking about, the 800 day reward was...ummm...hmmm...the 700 day...600 da...huh...okay good point.
I remember the 25slot bad ruled
Oh and if they are waiting till after the Rebuild then lets hope the VR will tie into the rebuild. That would be cool
So-i-can-stop-spending-$$$-on-popcorn-while-i-watch-the-same-arguments-come-up-all-the-times-on-the-forums
Most likely the wizard set just so we can rub at other people's faces with like the bird set.
But honestly could be anything. The 1k reward info might possible be reveal around mid-june or july as most who have that many days subbed would reach 1k by then.

Really? So what's the marketing spin behind it? We all know the real reason is the developers are MIA.
I believe that the exact spin was "Thanks for your continued support but we no longer care about you so piss off". :eek:

But they've stopped them for STO too, and their 50+ devs are anything but MIA...
