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)?

That is what the Dev's told us when the yacht came out, and what the SWG website says.

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!

Bug,

This was explained many times over in this thread as well ason the Vet Reward page on the main SWG site. There is even an option on the new Reward Menu Pop-Up in game which gave you the option to get more information...whichopens up a browser window with the explanation of the reward system(including the "per account" rule)on the SWG website.

In fairness, the information was put out bySOE and available in multiple ways so you really can't blame them. Sorry you found out the hard way, but I hope you don't blame SOE.

do you have to have your account activated for a total of 360 days or just registered over 360 days ago, cuz i started in sep 2003 but have been playing on/off and i didnt get a 360 day award

---

Klug,

You Anniversary is calculated based on the total number of days your account has been active and in good standing. If there are periods of time where you had cancelled your account or didn't pay for it, those periods are deducted from your total time.

In other words, it appears that you totals come from the billing system, not the game system itself. Therewas a guy asking about this several pages ago who had abilling error or a lost credit card, andJonathan addressed it there. If I can find the post, I'll add a clicky here

Hope this is good news

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.

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.

I see where you're coming from but, at the same time, I'd like to use something that is irreplaceable. the person that has it may have no hope of getting anything like it again. Without this kit, he/she may settle for a weapon that is only 60% as good.

I can see on weapons that are replaceable but if I have a gun that can hit super hard, am I going to be satisfied with one that is crap compared to it? Once that decays, that could cause a lot of people to feel they reached the "peak" and not play again because now they are using a crappy weapon.

Ok I read about6 pages in and decided that no one is answering this question. What is what in the rewards program? Is there a link with pictures matching the titles and descriptions of each so I can choose wisely? Dont say Friday Features because it doesnt explain anything. Another thing like this is the faction rewards, it really sucked that first time you bought a weaon from the faction trainer only to realize it was the worst weapon youve ever seen, and you spent all your points instead of getting the cool faction boots.

Descriptions and detailed pictures of each please.......

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?
