Suggestion: Veteran Rewards!

**Skeletonlord** · 01-20-2012, 03:10 PM

Hey guys, I love the new veteran items, but I have a suggestion to improve it. How about if they added a Roman themed weapon to go with the set which makes a bonus? I think this would be awesome!

Well, there are a few that look Roman. Mostly the d'jinn spears (40's?).

Though a vanity weapon would be nice.

Darn it, someone said it before me! Well, I'll second the motion. The Romans used spears. There's not much more to a spear than a stick with a sharp end. Any old spear in the game will do.

I agree with Zapoke! A roman themed bow or staff would be awesome!

I tried equipping a few spears and some made the vanity shield disappear.

@Ebalere, Im having the same problem. I equipped a spear with the Hallow's Shield and the shield dissappeared.

Spears not showing vanity shields is a known issue. Some 2h weps pierce through to shield too.

On topic, great suggestion. I'd say a cool wep for people that are there for 1 year should be implemented (that would be me in 8 days LOL)

**Skeletonlord** · 01-20-2012, 04:58 PM

Perhaps that is a little minor bug of some kind? It was just released the new gear, so there may be a few bugs.

**LwMark** · 01-20-2012, 05:13 PM

Equip a orcish bow they look awesome with armor an helm...also hate armor new helm an orcish bow!' Dont bite mystyle! Lol

**nmyxspaceship** · 01-20-2012, 05:38 PM

Yeah I like that idea. I also think you guys should make it like the elite armor and make the armor fit the character instead of looking baggy or awkward on birds and mages.

**IceCoffie** · 01-20-2012, 05:51 PM

When did they give out award?

**ghost.mw** · 01-20-2012, 05:57 PM

How about a golden helm fo those who've been playing for 1 year +

I agree they look like a bears stuff it doesn't look right on mages and specially birds for example the helm looks too bog on a bird.

I was thinking it would be pretty awesome to get like a Vanity pet for the year+ vets. Like a sweet lil Trojan horse pet to accompany the vet vanity set.
A vanity weapon would be cool to only if it was per class, no wand wielding mage wants a spear.
1month helm, 3 month Armor, 6 month shield, 1yr Trojan horse pet, 1.5yr Vanity weapon.

**SUPAPRODIGY** · 01-20-2012, 06:17 PM

how about for a one year we get a spear or a sword .

Spears are thrown or a weapon that could be used as a sword (instead a sword) so it's not a magical weapon that fires magical stuff ,what would look pretty awkward

*ahem*

Im going to be a bit of a Roman nerd here for a sec. Actually it was the greeks that were known for their use of spears (mainly because of the greek phalanx). The Romans copied pretty much everything they are famous for from the greeks, except their weapons of choice. The Romans are famed for their use of the Roman Spatha, a shortsword with a curve towards the middle of the sword meant for hacking and slashing. Fun fact: even though their swords were designed as the perfect cutting weapons, the romans actually prefered to stab with them, wierd right?

Sorry if I sounded a bit pompous, I am a major ancient greek and roman history buff lol.

A magical weapon would look perfect, to stick with the theme of rome then the perfect thing for mages would be the Legion's golden eagles. In roman mythology the Legion's golen eagles were said to be blessed by the gods themselves giving them special powers depending on which god blessed them. I can tell you from what I have read (both roman stories and The Son of Neptune (a Rick Riordan novel)) that the 7th Legion's eagle was blessed by Jupiter giving it the power to fire lightning bolts, I think this would work perfectly for mages.

Sigh, this is exactly why I could see a reason for STS to not implement Veteran Rewards.
This is already a free game, with free PvP/CTF, and Main Spine.
They finally consented to giving us THREE FREE VANITIES, especially the Armor One, where there currently exists only 3-4 Armor Vanities ingame. To give us a Veteran Weapon, before an Elite Weapon/Platinum Vanity Weapon would be asking for too much. Especially when it comes to a set bonus. If you want a bonus and cool vanities, go earn it by dungeoning to the elite level.
I think the Developers have done great with the Veteran Rewards.
Just we should be happy with what we have so far.

**Suentous PO** · 01-20-2012, 07:16 PM

Personally I'm thinkin it's the perfect opportunity to make the wep a reward for an epic cyber type quest where we have to farm the pieces to craft!
-sue
Ed- I'm toally happy with this cool thing I got, & am not beggin for more but they did ask in a different thread if we had any other ideas, so that's y I suggested.
