Veteran Rewards

[Shougun]

Didn't they say they were starting a new time-line of veteran rewards. Which would be more friendly for new players.

Yeah, something about having rewards on interval rather than on total time. Which leaves a lot of room for interpretation, but sounds better to me since you might push players out who loved Aerith to death (lol) but get shocked that they cannot have the costume at all until 5 years cumulative time subscribed meanwhile they joined yesterday and the game is 6 years old already.

So interval will be much better for that

Ahem... I play and enjoy the game sir, not like others who insults, mocks, or kicks at minimal reason even on normal dungeons. Those are the ones who are not enjoying. However, I don't play every month, I cancel my subscription after payment. But there are some players who have been subscribed without stop since 2013, some of them for these things.

Next time, don't judge from start...

What are you on about? You asked a question about why people would be subbed to FF14 beyond monthly rewards and I answered that enjoying the game is probably the best bet.

Okay lol. Considering you were the one who brought forth the question, I felt it was a rather safe bet that you didn't understand otherwise you wouldn't have asked in the first place.

PS, where did not like others who insults, mocks, or kicks at minimal reason even on normal dungeons. come from? That was kinda out of the blue.

Sorry if I took your answer a bit rude with that "perhaps?". Obviously, text doesn't show when someone is fine or rude. However, you just stated that I don't enjoy the game.

What I mean is, there are players who maybe one reason to not cancel sub is for Veteran Rewards, and removing them would risk to lose a money SE knows they'll have without fail. It's like releasing patches each 6 months instead of 3, they risk to lose even more monthly money because some wouldn't be interested to pay each month without a reason, so they would pay only at the patch release.

The "not like the others..." thing was a quick comment in alussion to the people who are not enjoying compared with people like me. Like the "6 month patches" comment I said before: quick comment.

FFVII was my first real JRPG and almost my last thanks to Aerith's story. I was younger and mor easily drawn into the characters an story I guess, but what happened to her actually stopped me from playing FFVII beyond a certain point. I've never had the heart to go back and play further. If her outfit was a vet reward, I would do whatever was needed to obtain it for Kos.

Well, they said they were going to switch to a different system after the rank 13 (three years) reward of the Tantalus Attire. But now there's a rank 14 reward (for four years) of the Leonhart Attire. So it looks like they changed their minds and decided to keep the overall system after all. It's just the interval at which new ones are earned has lengthened again. (That, too, was actually an already established pattern, going from 1 month to 3 months to 4 months apart. This was just a bigger jump, boosting it to a year apart between new rewards.)

A once a year veteran reward ought to be bloody amazing...well, one can hope.

They said Squall's outfit would be the last. So they didn't change their minds. I suspect, if they do bring it back, veteran players will get a voucher to get something off the mogstation.

tbh, im happy that theyre changing it up.

As someone whos glamour-crazy and who only started some time after HW has launched, it just really sucks
theres some rewards that are YEARS away from obtaining.

It will still take me 2 years or so to get the Leonhart attire and I want that chest piece so bad. I get it, i gotta "suck it up".
But at least theres an end in sight after that. Would hate it if there was even more to come.
Because it would mean that theres ALWAYS something light years away from me that I cant catch up on.

So I'm cool with changes to the system, really.

That's my sentiment as well. I adore the Leonhart top on Cassie but I'm years away from ever getting it. I really think a free mogstation item benefits everyone.

I personally like the veteran rewards and think a system should remain in place for people that have played and stayed subbed to the game since 2.0 launch.

They said Squall's outfit would be the last.

And a year ago, they said Tantalus's outfit would be the last. They've already extended it to include Squall's for four years of a subscription, and they have nine more months before they need to decide if they'll extend it again for a five year reward.

Basically, until they actually implement a replacement version of veteran rewards, the safe bet is to just assume that "the last one" means the latest they've added so far. (And if they're going to yearly increments, then it would be quite a while before they add another rank anyway.)

We better get something tbh I mean we've been loyal for aaagess. I feel as well that the actual rewards atm are a bit underwhelming
