Veteran Acknowledgement

[MgFalcon]

At some point in the recent past I remember Higby (or another member of the development team for PS2) saying that we, the Veterans, will have some sort of acknowledgement representing our past conflicts and involvement in the original Planetside. I am a little worried about this, mostly because I REALLY like flashy things and being noticed beyond everyone else... Now I'm not saying I want a supersuit or anything where I would have spikes and stuff shooting out like WoW armor or anything, I believe it would be preferable to many Veteran players to be noticed on a grand scale, but not to be pin pointed by enemy fire.

What I personally would like to see is a Giant Ass Cape, but in reality that would never happen; on the other hand something subtle like an achievement badge would just be too small and annoying to look for. What a reasonable suggestion would be, IMO, some bomb-ass shoulder pads, specifically designed to show our... importance and past wars we fought.

So until Higby, or T-ray, or anyone else from the dev team wants to fess up the glorious details about Veteran acknowledgements, please post your thoughts, ideas, or concerns.

I'm expecting to be mentioned in the backstory....


Nah I'd be content with a simple ribbon or something....



WHAT I REALLY WANT IS A MASSIVE TERRAN REPUBLIC FLAG I CAN WAVE AROUND AND PLANT ON TOP OF A BASE AND MOUNTAINS!

I imagine it will be in the form of a merit, or forum title, or something like that. Maybe an alternate weapon skin, or helmet, or shades.

Veterans don't need any form of acknowledgement. Anything in a game that is completely impossible to achieve no matter how little the will be a turn off to players.

The only "acknowledgement" veterans should care about are their exploits from PS1 being remembered by the community in PS2.

Most players in PS1 don't even remember most of the exploits from years back and you expect that to transfer to PS2?

Perhaps some cracked and broken looking armor that has been repair a few times.

A weapon with a scarf or duct tape wrapped around the grip.

Meh forget a stupid badge or something. Will probably be lots of crap like that in their cash shop. Just give guaranteed early access to Beta like they said they would in March lol.

[Traak]

Huge codpiece or brassiere. Instant recognition.

[Redshift]

it'll just be your 8 year merit transfered over imo, which is fine

[Senyu]

Veterans get special emotes. And we get classic helms, which are graphically redone helmets of PS1 as our option.

I want an mcg that shoots a lasher orb every 5 or so rounds and can switch to pre-nerf jackhammer mode when ppl get close.
