Third Tier of Veteran Rewards announced - Mekadave - 10-25-2006
Veteran Rewards
27 Months
* Dedicated badge
* Costume Piece: Anime-style tech armor
* Costume Change Token given to all characters on account
A full costume set of anime-inspired technological armor pieces is
available at this level. Heroes and villains can get a whole new unique
look to their characters with this costume set, and we are even including
a Costume Change token so that they can take advantage of the new set
without impacting their Influence or Infamy. Like other costume rewards,
this set is available for all characters on the account, present and
future, so if the costume inspires players, they can make a level 1
character with the new costume pieces right out of the gate.
30 months
* Committed badge
* Costume Piece: Signature Group Chest Emblem (Freedom Phalanx,
Vindicators, Vanguard, Arachnos, PPD, Cage Consortium, CoT, Council)
* Costume Change Token given to all characters on account
* Base Items: Hero: Scirocco's Sword, Ghost Widow's Cape, Black Scorpion's Armor, Captain Mako's Tooth, Lord Recluse's Helm, Hamidon Goo. Villain: Positron's Helmet, Synapse's Goggles, Numina's Cape, Sister Psyche's Belt, Citadel's Brain, Manticore's Bow, Statesman's Faceplate.
This reward level incorporates some back story elements from the City of
Heroes and City of Villains games and ties them in to character costumes and supergroup bases. First included are new chest emblems from a selection of the in-game groups for characters to wear proudly. These include the Freedom Phalanx, the Vindicators, Vanguard, Arachnos, the Paragon Police Department, the Cage Consortium, Circle of Thorns, and the Council. Of course a Costume Change token comes with this reward as well.
33 Months:
*Unswerving badge
*Power: CHOICE: Permanent Nemesis Staff or Permanent Blackwand
*Respec given to all characters on account
Here players get a choice. Player characters can select one of the staves
that Nemesis gives his troops, or the awesome Blackwand, as a prestige
power. These began as temporary powers players could earn for completing
certain missions. Now they can become permanent parts of player
characters, like the Ghost Slaying Axe and the Sands of Mu from the 12
month reward.
The Nemesis staff is a steam-powered staff that shoots bolts of energy
that deal damage, knock back foes, and may stun them. Damage: Moderate.
Recharge: Long. The Blackwand is a black metal wand that feels cold in the
hand, and glows with dark arcane energies. When used by those skilled in
magic (i.e. of Magic origin), it increases the potency of its attacks.
Damage: Moderate. Recharge: Long.
36 Months:
*Addicted badge
*Base Item: Arachnos Flyer (Villains), Longbow Chaser (Heroes)
*Power (Choice): Demon Pet, Clockwork Pet, Red Cap Pet, Rikti Monkey Pet, Robot Pet
Supergroup bases will never look the same once players park one of these
babies in them! A choice of an Arachnos Flyer or a Longbow Chaser means
that a player base will have a unique look to it that only comes with the
three year Veteran Reward.
In addition, players get another choice for their characters. This time,
they get to choose between five cuddly non-combat pets for each of their
characters! That's right, these little critters are useless in combat, but
they look oh-so-cute, and can be the perfect accessory for each of their
character concepts. The five pets to select from are a small Demon, a
renegade Clockwork, a docile Red Cap, a domesticated Rikti Monkey, and a
refurbished Robot.
(The 'refurbished robot' is a 5th Column Mekman)

Huh. Some cool stuff there. Might be a year or more before most of us get to see it, though...

"Costume? What costume?"
Re: Third Tier of Veteran Rewards announced - jpub - 10-25-2006
I think I shall giggle with unrestrained glee.
Can you imagine how badass my characters will be with all these temp powers?
Like, oh, say the Sands of Mu and the Nem staff at LEVEL 1?!

*sigh*, yeah. I'm gonna be on 24-25 months when Issue 8 hits, so next summer, I'm gonna have some badass starting toons. Contaminated, beware! :-)
Now Sherman Abrams, my powersuit-wearing tanker, will have an alternate costume. I was wondering if I'd have anything that I could use for an alternate for him, since he's supposed to be stuck in a containment suit (a la Positron), but these new pieces will do nicely.

Re: Third Tier of Veteran Rewards announced - Acyl - 10-25-2006
I'm...somewhat underwhelmed by that so-called anime-inspired armor, really. I dunno, it's somehow not...evocative to me. Just looks boring.

'course, I think, in the right hands, any costume piece can be put to good use. So that's cool.
The faction chest details, on the other hand... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YEEEEEEEES.
What? o_o
I have concepts, okay?
