I got 33 days left now so I´m wondering if I now wouldn´t be able to get the Sub Rewards at the release of 2.1(should those rewards be released at that time)?

Can someone make this clear for me^^;

---

Is this for people who use time cards? Or Reoccuring draft? Reason I ask is I can't see anywhere on my account it telling me how many days I have left. I am due for draft on the 16th for 180 days and my first draft was 90 days so this should be 270 days right? I am so confused? I can't see anywhere the info that you are stating in this thread? Any help would be appreciated.

All the other MMOs I have played, I'd usually pick the cheaper monthly option which usually meant going 3 or 6 months. But giving you something to sign up for, is better.

What on earth are you talking about? The thing you are signing up for is to play the game. The veteran rewards are to reward long-term players for continued loyalty to the game and they used to only ever be given out to players who had actually played for the given amount of time. It never used to have anything to do with how many months you would sub up-front.

The whole purpose of them used to be that you could tell who the veteran players were, and it made veterans more invested in the game.

The whole 'pre-pay and get all vet rewards now' thing only started in the last few years and entirely cheapens the concept of veteran rewards as anyone can have them regardless of if they're actually a veteran or not. The only thing these rewards distinguish is how much money you have to spend up-front and from what I remember most P2P MMO players usually hate that kind of thing.

All this thread really amounts to is whining that you can't have time-limited rewards now now now. The fact is that being able to pre-pay this far upfront at all is more than anyone used to get, and any more would render the 'veteran' thing entirely pointless.

So theres still no official word on this? I feel i've been screwed by subbing for 180 days right off the bat. Behemoth mount looks so cool :(

And this is why I only pay by buying crysta. :)

My 90day sub ends today. so i brought the 6 months with crysta. I get the rewards tomorrow ^__^b

This is why I want a dev to respond.. How can they possibly think its fair that people who subbed for 90 days or less can get em, but people who went the whole hog and got 180 are stuffed? Meh.

you get them as soon as you actually paid for 270 days. you aren't getting 'stuffed' at all. you saved money, ffs.

Thats the point. I can't pay for 270 days until my 180 days is up, which is in March. It won't let me add any more.

yea that sucks cause i went 180 days too. thinking i'm staking my claim for the long haul. i would have paid for a year long sub if given the option and was hoping i could get any extras that would be coming out for being a long-term subscriber. kind of a bummer i have to wait for a while after i supported and went all in.

Shouldn't be too hard for them to simply add 3 new buttons to the site "add 30 days to your game time" "add 90 days to your game time" and "add 180 days to your game time".

Really SE, people want to give money and you guys are not accepting it ....

I refuse to acknowledge the term "veteran" anyway. There is no such thing. See, that's the thing with the argument in this thread . . . one half of people want goodies immediately because they paid for them . . . and the other half thinks you have to have PLAYED for x-amount of time and somehow "earned" them. You do NOT earn "veteran" rewards. They just end up in your inventory because you had that much time to waste. And then people THINK they are somehow "elite" because they have some silly cosmetic tidbit . . . but they aren't. I have seen some long-time players who are absolutely TERRIBLE at a game - terrible enough that even if they were my best friend I wouldn't group with them to save my life - but hey, they have some "vet reward" so they automatically think they know everything there is to know and flash the vet reward like it is some sort of honor or achievement. LOL.

Now, I CAN understand how some folks who put effort and time into the game want to feel they achieved something. However I do not believe vet rewards are the way. Reading the patch note, I see this new commendation system, and as you play, and make friends, and accomplish things with your fellow community, you get great and positive feedback. I like this new system and am excited to see it in play. If you want me to respect you as a "veteran", it'll be because of your reputation, NOT because of some stupid blow-up-doll minion you happily have bouncing next to you.

With that said - I say let people have their toys and items to play with if it makes them happy . . . and relish in your own time played with the reputation system to truly show your own effort. If you want to TRULY earn a "veteran reward", earn a good reputation and get the rewards they are giving for that.

Seriously? So many people willing to hand over large sums of money and SE doesn't want it? Dev? Pls respond.

I'm trying to add my 3rd 60days time card but it won't accept it saying " Sorry, you cannot have more than 180 days of game time at once.
Please select a shorter subscription period or wait until more of your current remaining game time has been used. "

I have 149 days left but i still want to reach rank 5 rewards! why did u put it now SE but didn't fix this issue? please we need a dev respond here.

I started ARR from the first day till now.

Bah! i just need 30days more for 270days rewards >.< can only add 60days time card while i have 149days left now ;w;! i want this cool Behemoth Mount! :(

Ok I can now clarify that this is as we all feared. I bought 3x 60-days Time Card and could only use two because after using two it said I had 149 days left which exceeds the 120 limit. I now have to wait 29 days to be able to use my 3rd card to reach the Rank 5 Reward.

There does not seem to be any way at all to get the Behemoth mount on the 16th as an NA player.

Promotion works. Payment options don't.

---

You can buy more than 30 days with crysta. But only if you don't have any paytime anymore.

it would be cool to be able to sub for 270 days at once, would make sense since one bonus is for that amount of time , it would be a win-win for all ...

same for me, pls change it to more days so we can all get our reward

Meh, Guess I have to wait til March... Maybe they should have put a timer on these so that they didn't deliver until the minimum amount of actual SERVER TIME had passed.

SE must increase the limit from 180days to 270days so we can use time card & reach Rank 5 rewards :$

Hmmm. I apparently have to wait until April for the level 5 rewards.. Damn 180 day sub.

They should just call these current rewards as "Subscription Rewards" and then later they could add actual vet rewards if they wanted. Then there wouldn't be so much arguing about whether these current rewards should be given to people with money or people who have actually put in the time cause there would be two different sets of rewards. Though, that could get redundant later on since only long time players would get either of them.

Were the Rank 4 rewards handed out today?

y got my rank4 and rank5 reward today

Yes for those who accumulated at least 180 registered days. I got the rank 4 for example, but not the rank 5.

I signed for 3 months the first time and now again for 3 but didn't get anything yet.

ok so i started the 180 days subscription on September 17th according to my mogstation, and that the subscription ends at March 15th 2014

if my calculation is right, since it's December 18th now where I'm from, even if i add another 180 days subscriptions today I won't be able to get rank 5 rewards right?

Can't we have a dev respond to this? Behemoth mount :(

Essentially this is a dumb move by Square. There is clear demand for level 5 rewards from people who have 180 day subscriptions. They are leaving subscription money on the table.

When my 180 term expires, I'm switching to 30 day or 90 day subscriptions so that I don't get shanked again.

Please SE fix this, we want to give you money and get our rewards :)

I did the 180 day subscription via CC. I checked my mail in game on my lunch break and received both the minion of light, which looks like the old BLM, ala Vivi, and the BLM chocobo barding.

Would´ve been really nice if they could raise that 120 limit

Hope to see a positive answer soon >.>;

How many days of play did you have left though, and how many days/months did you sub before that?

Everyone get the rewards at the same time. The moment there is 270 days on the account since registration. Not earlier, not later.

If you buy 180 days only for the reward than for the discount, you are running in the next problem in the moment SE update the veteran bonus plan again in 3 months.

Same issue, i have to wait a lot before be able to instapurchase the last rewards. Curious, they don't want our money? :rolleyes:

If for some odd reason FFXIV tomorrow shuts down they would have to refund everyone for the not spent months, that's probably why they limited it to 4 months.

180 days, the max you can subscript at once, is 6 months

yeah I was referring to the remaining months before redeeming the card.
game cards are 60 days, cannot redeem if you have 120 days or more, 120+60 = 180.
you gotta fall to 119 since, probably, it will still count 120 even if you have 120 and 23:59 hours left.
