It was very disrespectful adding additional rewards a week later to options that people had already chosen.
It is not an acceptable excuse to say that they can use their higher level rewards for lower level one because in the end, we are still missing out.

That would work for a bunker house or a special vehicle (with Master Artisan components). Of course, it would take more work to code.

My idea exactly, make it a tool that required a medium house deed to combine with it and it produces the bunker. Architects get thier cash, we get our bunker, everyone's happy. Hell make the scematic a reward too, so non vets can buy them for outragious prices.

I've always wondered this....are you supposed to get the 3 month rewards EVERY three months? Or is it just once when you hit your 3-month mark? Because I've had a character going for a year now (as of a few days ago) and I've only ever gottenone 3-month reward for her. Just wondering...

New houses? At-Pt? you want them?
no problem.
Wait for another 20 dollar expansion. You'll get them then, but they'll be in model form and you'll have to find a needle in a haystack on hoth... the item will of course be white. And then you'll need to use the datapad as a one use waypoint to hyper to the 5th moon of argyle nine and make your way through the plaid jungle to kill the nth borlot commander by collecting a yllsamiri that is there for no apparent reason, and then using it to null his blaster force power while he tries to follow you on foot 15k across the planet while being aggro'd by angry smurfs wielding air powered pumpkin caliber chicken cannons which spam 2k damage 15 times per second at 3k meters. Did I mention they all have jetpacks? They'll drop loot parts to make the chicken cannon, but the loot drop percent will be 1/100000, but only during a blue moon on Tatooine, and then only if rebels have control of the planet at the time. If not it will only drop in poor quality which means it cant be used for the schematic. This of course won't matter since you'll have to collect all 16 parts of the cannon and a pair of darth vaders dirty underwear to complete the quest for the miniature at-pt. In order to get vaders underwear you'll need to collect a loot drop of tide from the avatar station which only drops 1/5000000000 kills assuming your there on a solo group and jedi. After you do all this and collect the loot drop of tide, you'll go to the laundry to get vaders underwear only to discover that part of the quest is bugged and instead you get a pair of thrawn's boxer briefs that sets the quest as failed permenantly.

We will be adding in various types of items as time goes on.
Does this mean that at some point you will put in an actually USEFUL reward, for, say 24months, and then say "tough luck" again to people who already passed that milestone, those of us here from the very begining, as you have today with the new additions since the publish went live?
That's pretty lame. Saying "you can use your next reward" for it is sort of a cop out, because then we are already one behind. Should we just not use them out of hope you will eventually add something worth using beyond decorations? On the other hand, we just would be playing "wait and see" for something useful that may never come.
I know some people are saying "be greatful", but, sorry - it's not like these are gifts that cost SOE money - in fact, it seems that the holograms have been in the code for a long time and were just "turned on". I don't think it's too much to expect a little gameplay affecting item at a milestone - and playing "wait and see" takes away all the fun of reaching a milestone in the first place.
That said, I'm thrilled about the Leia hologram at 27 months...but am going to be really irritated if you suddenly throw a bunker house or a vehicle anti-decay kit in at the 2-year mark, for instance, and I have to choose between something I should have already been to choose versus the new item I am elligible for.
I mean, come on...being a day-one vet should count for SOMETHING other than qualifying for the "d'oh what was I thinking" tattoo on my forehead.

Could you be any more vague?
If things like the bunker house and AT-PT are out, tell us and tell us why.
Right now you guys are doing a very poor job of communicating with us. If you actually bothered to measure customer loyalty/satisfaction, I suspect that you'd see it has been decreasing. A lot of the turmoil in the community could be quelled if you would tell us what is going on and why.

This is a question for anyone to answer.
I let my son create a character on my account. I believe that this is permitted, is it not?
Anyway, he came on and used my veteran rewards points up when it asked him if he wanted to get the things.
Is it at all possible to get this reset somehow?
This is quite infuriating. I've been on the game since launch and it should not have made it that easy for him to just use up my account's vet reward time.
He didn't know any better, and he is upset about it too.
Anyone know exactally what the deal is on something like that?
I have seen people cross server trading when they have made mistakes with vet rewards this leads me to assume that CSR's won't help in these situations as players are forced to fix it themselves by finding there own solutions
if it helps I am on chimaera and have outstanding vet rewards unclaimed so do many of my guild so if your son claimed them on my server I will help you if I can (thats assuming cross server trading of vet rewards isn't against some rules)

Thanks for the offer. My son is on Wanderhome though... being one of theleast populatedservers, this is going to be very hard.

To me, nice FF.
As to add more. Will that include the jabba barge used in ROTJ, that transported Han and Chewie to the sarlac? I noticed in the opening page of theweb site of your home page, that will be included in-game, and no details are available.

As i understand it the vet rewards are account linked not character linked so if you can find a wanderhome player that has not claimed rewards they could create a char on your server.

here's a thought, how about we wait another 3 months till the dev's get paid?
