Honestly, how many people who quit within their first year actually come back within the same year? I suspect that particular demographic is really small. I would also suspect that most newly returning players' accounts are more than a year old. I really only see this helping returning players making box accounts. While i have no real issue with the request, i see it going nowhere with the argument as presented.
I'd love to see new Vet AA's. Are they still making them or is that something we will never see anymore?
Except they are not being punished they are being treated the same as everyone else who starts a new account.
Lesson was added years ago as a thank you to vets. So again - thank you vets. Now its ubiquitous to the game. It should come with a sub.
They should move all vet rewards down one level allowing new players to get lotd and somewhere add a reward to summon a parcel merchant. Andarriel
I'd rather them give rewards for time BOUGHT. If you buy 3-5 years worth of sub time...why have to wait 5 years for the rewards your already guaranteed since you're paid for that whole time...
Compromise: new characters get rewarded with a few non-tradable XP potions for completing the tutorial.
Monetization of Vet AA is a possibility. 5-10 usd pr year veterancy. Not sure it is worrh the effort for DB, but could brikg newer players on par.
I say just get rid of it. Then you never have to decide if it's worth clicking it at this point or not. You can just relax, and keep killing things.
I'd be for this as well, can't even remember the last time I clicked lesson...just replace it with a lesser version of Staunch, maybe an 8 hour reuse but only gives 50% hp/Mana/end.
Those of us who level/AA very slowly would sorely miss Lesson. Don't fall prey to the trap that cause you don't need it, nobody does.
Daybreak could start a new set of Veteran Rewards with the time of introduction being year one. So anyone starting now would start getting them. Some could be duplicates like lessons giving actual long term veterans an extra bonus. Or not just a thought.
They are sometimes handy (popping a banker for example). I wouldn’t be opposed adding them to be puchased as DB currency, it gives the ability to spend money for those who wish (and keep our game alive), and those who have them already through the old system get it “rightfully” by being a loyal customer. Would be a win-win imo.
It used to work that way. I remember subscribing for 2 years back in the day and it unlocked 2 veteran rewards.
I used the resupply guy, tribute master, and banker all the time. Also, as a tank without defensive (SK) I pop the Armor of Experience AA on tough mobs.
