View Full Version : The Founder’s Helm and the idea of Veteran Rewards



Samhayne
04-20-2011, 04:52 PM
When the team envisioned the “Founder’s Helm” it was just as the name implies – a genuine thank you item for the people who have been with us since the very beginning. We have gone ahead with that concept. Today’s game update granted accounts that were created in April or May of 2010 and logged in during the last week this unique, class specific helm.

While discussing the idea of a unique show of gratitude for our original players, we touched upon the concept of Veteran Rewards. For those who aren’t familiar with a Veteran Rewards program, it is a system of giving rewards to accounts based on the age of the account. We really like the concept of rewarding our loyal players for sticking with Pocket Legends.

Rather than taking something like the Founders Helm and quickly turning it into a Veteran Reward, we’d rather take the time to do it right and create a more robust system of Veteran Rewards. We know that we would be nowhere without our fans.

Allright, Samhayne. Sounds good. One question though. I thought April-June was getting a helm? I was in the June era and thought I was getting one, now I feel a bit let down. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.

He meant from April 1 to June 1st (well actually midnight on May 31st). Our apologies for the confusion.

We didn't want to do that as it makes the Founder's Helm less special - and it's not that great of a Veteran Reward, because it's used for something else. That's why we're taking extra time to make the Veteran Rewards good.

Amazing! You know what would be a cool idea for Veteran rewards? People who have been around from day one should get their own special reward. It would be like the Crown of Persistence, but silver with a purple gem :).

Anyways, great job as usual!

First of all i want say thank you to the dev. Most other dev wouldnt care about there players, like last game i play inwhich i spent thousand of dollars and never gotten any kind of rewards. Well my idea for a reward program is players is in game reward which expired durimg a time limit. Players who spent a certain amout of time playing sould be rewarded with more luck. Rather then a player who just login once awhile and do one run and get drops. Also players who have played and spent there hard earn money and most important there time night and day playing sould be rewarded base on plats bought and time spent online. Rewards could be items that you can only get by playing for certain amount time like "founders helm" i know its our decision to buy plats but sould berewarded for showing support towards this great game.

Ow this would spark a huge debate, especially after the massive one over the very very small luck bonus from the st. Patricks day event.

Hi guys I just have question. I haven't played this game much. But when I saw that they gave the founders helm out I logged in and I saw a vanity helm section but I don't know how to equip it. There wasn't a helm there. I'm very nooby sorry but I don't know what to do. I joined in april of last year so yes I am a founder and I have bought platinum. Thanks

Maybe you can make it depend on join date... Summer joiners (June July and august) get AO themed special items and onward, winter joiners get alien themed items.

Or maybe more specified time slots for themes, to separate lost, swamps, AO, and space.

Hello devs!

I would like to see some sort of improvement on these helms. I tested helm on bird and mage and those didn't really look any special. On bear its awesome and would like to see some sort of different style on bird and mage too. Something what stop everyone eyes when you walk in, glow + red sparkling would be very very awesome.

And thanks for remembering us old farts with this nice helm. :) It's been very nice year with you.

Me too... i believe the active June joiners make up another dozen or so. Ranged, you, me, Ladylove, Haikus, Powtato, icantgetkills, Apocolypze. I have to agree with the decision, however. The founders were here when I got here and there was already a solid community because of them.

It would really have been an honor to be included with them, but deep inside I would have felt that I didn't really belong.

Hi Kallima,

When the team was talking about the Founder's Helm, it was in terms of "Let's give something to the folks who've been with us from the very beginning" rather than "lets give something to Apple users and not to Droid users." We're looking forward to getting a system of Veteran Rewards out to everyone to thank them for sticking with the game over the months and years.

Sooo does this mean November droiders aren't gonna get founders helm? Or do they get a Droid version/ veterans helm? Either way I'm happy with my shield and possible vet. items

Hi there, im relatively new to Pl and im glad i came here.
I have playedvmany many mmo's in my time and im all for supporting rewards to those who have gone the distance and been loyal to their games.
I think its brilliant that these rewards are implemented. It shouldnt matter what platform etc you are gaming from, it soulr simply reflect time served.
In my opinion its a token gesture - a pat on the back so to speak, to those who have earned it.
Well done and congratulations to anyone receiving them , Respect where its due.

I just wanted to say if I wouldve known about pocket legends when it came out I woulda got it in a heartbeat like the day I found it. I felt like a kid in a candy shop. The only unfortunate part is I didn't get it in time for helm. I found game early November 2010. :( I think giving the founders helm to the ppl who started firs trap months is a good idea. Cause they are the ones who deserve the "founders" helm. Xactly what it's named. Good Job guys. I wish I could share in ur experience:)

So let me get this ALL straight.
What are the EXACT dates the iOS users will receive it, April or May of 2010, April 1 - May 1, correct?
What are the EXACT dates the Android users will receive it?
Also, will everyone who reaches the 6 month mark (or however long it is) receive the helm as well?
I'm just trying to get confusion out of the way.
An answer from a dev would be great to confirm it exactly how it is.
Thanks.

Lol no charm points because it is a FOUNDERS helm. If they made it for everyone who played within the first 6 months, it wouldn't be a FOUNDERS helm, it would be more like a VETERANS helm. The founders are those who were there in the very beginning that really got PL running. Weve been around for it all.

Incorrect this time. The devs changed their minds. Only the April and May joiners got it, and it's over and done with. Nobody else will ever get it. Only the Founders got the Founder's helm. Not even the people who were originally supposed to get it when they said April-June. That apparently was a mistake and they only meant June 1st.

I couldn't agree with this statement any more. I've spent over 50$ on platinum. And played every day since November 2010. Sometimes up to five hours a night. Ya I'm addicted. But then u get some ppl who got game when it came out. Who barely play and maybe in whole time playing spent 10$ on platinum. But still get the founders stuff. I love this game and will keep playing regadless of what devs do to change it. But it's a let down when ppl like me don't get noticed. I'm an avid pl player and will always be:) thanks for everything devs. Keep up good work:)

Devs are not saying veteran awards will be a helm. They have not put the veterans award system in place yet. As far as we know veterans awards could be anything. The founders helm is for the players who played the first few months. I am an android user I am not upset about it. Life goes on.

04-29-2011, 12:15 PM
Ok but now isn't a veterans award but an iPhones award, i started play with android at novenber and i've bought the firsts 800 plats when this game wasn't present on android market here on europe, searching and installing manually the apks for over 2 months. Now the shield of gratitude become 0 def (after lvl1 20 armor, useful for a new character), and we firsts android players, regardless of the number of hours or platinum spent, nothing.

I didn't get to log in during that period when it was given out, any chance I can get it now? I'm not sure I was a member back then or not, but I might have been, it'll be close :)

And, an idea for a reward taken from my EQ days is a once a day reward. For being in PL for x amount of time, you get to use the 30min trash can punch once a day, for X amount of time you get a 15 min one, x amount of time you get a 5 min one, etc.

Iv only been playing since february so i was definitely not getting the foundrs helm lol but i do like the idea of a veteran reward system. Loyalty should be rewarded in a game like this and its good to see its not going to be rushed.

To reiterate, the Founder's Helm is only granted to Pocket Legends accounts that were created in April or May of 2010.

Perhaps. Spacetime already mentioned that they have veteran rewards planned, but they haven't really told us any release dates, or if they have even started working on them yet. Maybe the veteran vanity helm will be a oldschool roleback item? ZOMG!!! Bobble Head vanity's!! Just like the old days!!!!!!!

How about an Android Founder's helm for people who don't own an iOS device but who started in the very first week of the Android release? Except I would never ever wear it even if it had double the stats because seriously Android Costume. Speaking of stats, let's talk about how unfair it is to have stats on an exclusive vanity item. I'm kidding, let's please not talk about that (but it is unfair).

iOS devices are for people who A) Want simplicity and B) Have money. Generally people who want simplicity don't want to get deep into the mechanics of what separates hardcore gamers from casual gamers. So it wouldn't surprise me IF it were the case that the "best" players were on Android, but that is a lot of broad generalizations.

Well, maybe when there is a one-year anniversary of the Android release, anyone who was here on day 1 and is still here would merit some sort of veteran reward. But to talk about it a mere half year later, when the Founders (I missed it by ten days) are people who were still playing a year later, is to miss the point completely. They saw a LOT of change. The first few months was a learning process for STS as well as the players. Those who stuck through it all and were here on the first anniversary are the Faithful and deserve their reward. It's not the same thing, at least until a year is up.

Many people abandoned the devs through their learning process, rage quitting over stupid stuff that they took very seriously. Those who stayed are special folks. Give them their due. They paved the way for the rest of us. I don't think porting the game, now fully operational, to a new OS automatically creates a new batch of founders. When they port if to PC or some consoles, will those people become founders? I don't think so. But after a certain amount of time, veteran rewards are cool, and I'm looking forward to them.

+1..... I'm fully agree with this. I'm not even close to being eligible for any reward but I do know that being there in the beginning is nothing like coming in after most of the bugs have been straightened out.

Hey gang,

We know there's a lot of interest in the Founder's Helm and the idea of Veteran's Rewards. However, right now the team is really focused on getting the new content and features for Pocket Legends ready and shipping Star Legends: The Blackstar Chronicles. We haven't forgotten about Veteran's Rewards - on the contrary, we really like the idea of them, but they are a bit behind some of our bigger agenda items in work right now.

Well said Snake. Honestly I find the entire matter ridiculous. Giving the founder helm to "anyone" would make its worthless. But i can see why people are upset. People should try to be satisfied with what they have and make the best of it.

Thanx for clearing that up Sam I know it's been a question a lot of people have been asking and it's good to know the Devs HAVE NOT forgotten about a veterans reward system.

Maybe as an added bonus you can leak some idea you guys were kickin' around... for the reward system that is. >_>

To quote Sam from upthread:

So sounds to me like let them get SL and the PL update off their plate and then they'll have time to work on the veterans rewards amongst other things.

ETA: And AmongDemons? The first post of the thread, made April 20th, says:


Today’s game update granted accounts that were created in April or May of 2010 and logged in during the last week this unique, class specific helm.
(bolding added) If you think you were logged in at some point during the week of April 20th, you could try popping an email off to the Devs at support(at)spacetimestudios.com, replacing (at) with @, of course.

You were inactive on forums.

Also to everyone else, I'll make myself clear.

THE DEVELOPERS ALREADY GAVE OUT THE HELMS. IF YOU DID NOT GET ONE SORRY YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET ONE.
PLEASE STOP ASKING ABOUT IT. YOU WERE TOO LATE SORRY.

When the team envisioned the “Founder’s Helm” it was just as the name implies – a genuine thank you item for the people who have been with us since the very beginning. We have gone ahead with that concept. Today’s game update granted accounts that were created in April or May of 2010 and logged in during the last week this unique, class specific helm.

While discussing the idea of a unique show of gratitude for our original players, we touched upon the concept of Veteran Rewards. For those who aren’t familiar with a Veteran Rewards program, it is a system of giving rewards to accounts based on the age of the account. We really like the concept of rewarding our loyal players for sticking with Pocket Legends.

Rather than taking something like the Founders Helm and quickly turning it into a Veteran Reward, we’d rather take the time to do it right and create a more robust system of Veteran Rewards. We know that we would be nowhere without our fans.

Well said.
