THANK YOU!!!

What will the 24 month reward be?

Oh and Thank you again!





Let's see ... free 30k reosurces of anything anytime, non energy consuming harvesters, anti decay kits so your gun never dies ..



I think the next logical thing would be to give everyone the ability to toggle "God-mode" on and off ... yea, thats the ticket. And I'm sure the players would just LOVE it.

This is probably best posed as a developmental question but it relates to the anti-decay kit per say. Would it be possible to make this work on vehicles as well? I do not care if I die or the vehicle becomes (disabled) but to lose the vehicle completely is a royal pain in the butt. Example would be to put it on an AV-21, you are out flying on dathomir and a nightsister kills you and blows up the AV-21 (again I don’t mind the death) it would be nice to be able to store and pull the vehicle with the kit on it even in a state of 10 points of life left so there is just enough to make it to a garage. Just a thought.

i actualy know someone who lost TWO Av-21's on dathomir because he was jumped by NS


amazing to think that a 5k speeder does pretty much the same job but your happy to put a

none to common transport in jeopardy because its a little faster and yet costs millions


More amazing to think the idiot lost TWO for the same reason.


Store it and use a speeder/ swoop . its a heck of a lot cheaper to carry a crate of those around than a spare AV.


hehehe

agreed and I do use swoops or my flash speeder but with the rate they get blown up I would love to have at least 1 vehicle I am able to resurrect and not have to delete all the time and get a new one. I wind up replacing at least 3 vehicles a week. I'm not asking for it to be invulnerable in that it cant be disabled but at least some way to bring it back from the dead post mortem.

Logged into today and was offered my veterain rewards. However, I didn't take any, because I was planning to take the self-powered harvestoras my 3 month reward, but it wasn't listed. (In fact, I plan to take the "for the field" options on all three rewards).


Has anyone else encountered this? Have the field rewards been withheld? (in the case of the anti-decay device this is probably a good idea anyway).

Alright, fine. Different scenario. Say I have two characters, on different servers, on the same account, and I play both of them regularly. Same principle.

Pick one of those two characters. He/she gets the reward. That's the way it has to be.



Perhaps the way it is, but certainly not the way it has to be.

Devs gave all characters holocrons, not just one per account. All characters could get Life Day presents, not just one per account. (And if I recall correctly, originally only one Jedi was supposed to be possible per account, and now every character can aspire to become a Jedi.)

I hate to seem ungrateful when this is such a wonderful gift. But because it is such a wonderful gift, limiting them to one per account just causes so many problems for families.




Have to agree not to mention the fact it's VERY unclear when your going it. I'm VERY annoyed at the moment because both of mine ( two accounts ) have been wasted because the text of the reward screen tells you that certain rewards are "one per account" ( although even that is technically incorrect as it's one per account on live AND one per account on TC ). Therefore I assumed the decoration items where once per server and as a result used them on the first server I logged into. I should also point out it would have been VERY easy for my kids to claim the reward and thus deprive me of it.

The 'fun' rewards ( i.e. all but the ones that actually state '1 per account) should be any server. It's the only fair way and as stated elsewhere follows the precedence you have done with stuff like the flash speeders, yachts etc.

In the meantime I'm going to post a ticket in the hope I get a helpful CSR because I do NOT want the sole reward on the server that currently has it. Has I known it was a 1 hit thing I wouldn't have claimed it.

I don't know if this has been covered or not but just so everyone is aware, these "rewards" are 1 per account. I was advised this last night by a CSR. This means if you have a character on two different servers then only one of your characters will get the reward unlike the flash speeder which was fantastic since I didn't have to exclude one character to benefit another. I was excited about these rewards until I found about this little "rule". Personally, I would rather have the no sell, no trade rule and be able to have a doll set with my female character and more crafting stuff for my crafter. I guess I'll have to coin toss on who wins.

Tonight I got told because my account "lapsed" that I don't get anything until it reaches however long.


That's BS cause I never intended to let it lapse and I have mitigating circumstances such as moving to a new address. I would hope the Devs reconsider and allow us old timers to still enjoy the spoils even though a small glitch trips us up.

Would kill a lot of artisan business so for their sake I hope they dont screw it up as they are kinda doing with the WS community.


Problem or beauty of this game is that when you tamper with one thing it gonna affect a lot of people. Not just the ones it seemingly benefits in the first place. Lets take the anti decay kit and have a closer look. Player A has a legendary PH with 3k maxdam. he has used it a bit in pvp and thus the condition has reached 120 so he has it stored away for very special occasions.


But lo and behold here comes the anti dacay kit to save the day. He can now use the PH for killing gubburs cause nothing will ever change the condition. He uses it more constructively thou to go camp acklay. And even thou he is almos outdamaged by the3 grouped guys with antidecaying highend acklay hammers and the 2 riflemen with antidacaying exceptional T21s he gets the kill.


From the acklaay he loots 6 77-120 bones... fairly decent that could potential make a sliced ph with max dam above 700, but since the antidacy kit has been around for a couple of month, most people allready have highend antidecaying phs and of course he can sell the bones, but not at all with as high demand as previously. Now imagine the same scenario in a year....


All this to say, its not only going to affect the WS ommunity, in the long run its going to have impact on the whole player economy and this is not even taken the pvp-side og all this mess into consideration....


I seriously hope the do something about the decay kit or take it out completely!


And dont even start on the CU. Ill start taking that into consideration when Im downloading the patch which holds it. Untilll then I play from what is live.

Ok my 2 cents:

Anti Decay Items should not be used on Legendary weapons. Nor on weapons in general. We have a Janta Mind Action Fire knife on my server that does like 1200 a tick. When they area attack with that the battle is over. It hasnt been used in a while for fear of decay. I personally don't pvp if I know that knife is around.

Second, The terminals should be active. Make them a 12 month reward and allow people to put working terms in their houses. We can get most of them already on some form and rename them to the exact name we want. The red/black terms should be all one set. Not individual pieces.

Finally, the for fun/ for decor should be attainable at every 3 months. Not having to wait 1 more year cause for 3 years no one will take a 3 month item on the 12 month anniversary, not to mention if 24 month rewards come out that will put another huge gap in the process. We are looking at 15+ years of game play to receive all rewards? come on...

However that said...thanks it is better than Bantha fodder in the eye!

I'm glad the devs created this new system, but why can't each character on your account receive a 3,6,12 etc reward? Only one set of rewards per account? Then why could you get Luxury Yacht and Flash speeder with all characters?

I have a question about Veteran Rewards; is the luxury yacht still available after you hit the certain time frame at which the players have previously acquired it (i.e. 180 days)?

Important this is 3 rewards per account!

I messed up my account on my 12 month reward.
Per request of my guild leader who asked me to get some of the dolls for the guild PA hall .

For my first reward I picked the protocol droid doll, then for my 90 day reward I picked a tie fighter model. Cool then I logged on my Jedi and started to clam my rewards and get the other two dolls

, now this is where I think I missed up! it offered me a 30 day reward and I picked an r2 unit . and that was it. No more rewards!

So that small box with the small print –some where in there it says 3 rewards per account not per toon. So I am out a “No decay” item buff 12 month reward. Whaaaaaaa ! sucks for me. Oh well

I know SOE will tell me your SOL (as usual ) so I am not even going to ask, I just want to get the word out and warn other players that you only get 3 rewards per account.
Watch out!
