Question about the Vet Rewards

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
Is it just as simple as having an active account for 100 days?
i'm a lifer so my account is gonna be active till the end of time so... does that mean that lifers are gonna get these automatically?

or

do we have to play everyday for 100 days?

    It is automatic. No playing required.

    Good question neo.


    The veteran rewards sound like a good idea, but whats the deal with letting any old riff raff into the captains table??

    I agree with you. I thought the captains table was supposed to be a lifetime member exclusive..... I would be ok if it was a limited time (1/2 weeks) visit to the captains table.

    The captains table SHOULD be lifetime subs only period.
    These are the people that are going to be playing not the ones going "I don't like this patch so I'm cancelling" which is the "reward" that those individuals have.

    I can say from experience that Im glad cryptic has no more sway on city of heroes and city of villains because those games have gotten a lot better since they "left".

    Frankly, I'm all for letting more people into the Captain's table after ALMOST 14 MONTHS. I mean really, now? I like exclusivity as much as the next guy, but there's a fine line between wanting something special and being exceedingly gluttonous.

    I find myself curious as to whether the Captain's Yacht mentioned will be the Calypso or Cousteau variant, or if it will change depending upon what class you're flying, and whether Klingons will get them?

    By the time anybody else sees the Captain's Table, my investment on the game is nearly paid off.

    Lifers put in an enormous amount of blind faith and I think I heard that even more lifer rewards were in the pipeline but somebody who plays for fourteen months when they have the option to leave or take time off is also putting a comparable show of faith in the game.

    Besides, if you'd been paying attention, you'd see that exclusive doesn't mean forever. We have a year of exclusive access. That's exclusive but not forever.

    It doesn't bother me, anyway.

    If you want spam free exchange use, you CAN turn off your chat or switch tabs. Or you can petition for a means to do it aboard your ship.

    Lets face it. Its pretty. Its a nice place to be. But its also dead in there.

    A small suggestion, Cryptic? I'd love to see additional costume slots as Vet rewards.

    Indeed. I have no problems with vets being let into the captains table. In fact I think it is a great idea.

    Also, if you're defining spam as credit spammers, I'd be more worried about them on demo and trial accounts. Beyond that, they will buy copies of a game if it's worth their while financially (the goldspammers in WoW mostly either buy accounts or use scripts to spell out their site in dead, suicided bodies) but they never make it to the one year mark and I sincerely doubt fleet recruitment will be all the rage in zone chat.

    If anything, I'd be more worried that the more people who'd be there might be intolerant of the light fluff in zone chat we have now and classify that as spam.

    I would like to know when the lifers get the rewards, if its the same as everyone else or whether we get it all when they are released. Just to clarify Im not declaring whether I think this is a good or a bad idea. Im simply interested to know how it will work.

    Well according to my math skillz were on day 88 so not long till the first one.

    Veteran players that achieve the top tier rewards (400 days) should be allowed into the captains table and the other lifetime rewards, the riffraff that people would be referring to, are gold sellers, they are the definition of riffraff. And to prevent the sanctuary from being compromised too much, it should only be available to long term players (lifetime, valiant annual, and valiant monthly). Zone chat for the area is available to the worthy, and everyone is happy. Being forced to commit the time and the money to get this area is a great deterrent to gold farmers.

    they have to make the rewards first, this is just an announcement. It would be safer for the devs to give them out when everyone reaches the milestone. It gives them time to think up and create neat rewards to give us. Rather then shoveling junk on everyone. I can weight, and I do not see a problem giving this to people gradually.

    The definition of veteran will be the source of epic forum rage.

    I think some of the lexicon words and phrases (picked up from various forum posts) for the forum rage on both sides will include:

    0. Math - I paid x up front more than you, therefore...

    1. Time - As an LTS, I'm here for the long haul, therefore...

    2. I'm worth more as a non-LTS because...

    3. I believe...

    4. I Invested / Made the investment

    5. Committed

    6. Deserve

    7. Entitled

    8. Exclusive

    9. Packaging stated...

    10. QQ

    11. Fanboi

    12. Hater

    13. < insert word/phrase >

    Given the trajectory, I'm guessing Cryptic will ensure all LTS will receive everything planned and new exclusives.

    Silver lining, all subscribers will also join together to focus rage at Cryptic while raging at each other.

    The level of smug and entitlement on both sides will be strong.

    I look forward to the announcement and spectacle.

    Bingo think you got it 8)

    I PROTEST AGAINST THE CAPTAINS TABLE VETERANS REWARD. NO NON-LIFER SHOULD BE IN OUR JOINT! I protest against cryptic and will cancel my account as will many others I know and do a huge campain against companies who use exclusives for lifetime subscribers as bait for new players. or old ones.

    Its ripping us off, its lies, and false advertisement.

    SHAME ON YOU CRYPTIC.

    So long as I'm a player, there will be NO normal players in OUR lifetime sub station!!!!!!

    I suggest that cryptic build a new base, just for the veterans.. Lifers included.. But that the PROMISED SANCUTARY OF CAPTAINS CHAIR REMAIN JUST OURS.. IT WAS PROMISED..

    Wake up cryptic.
