I8: Help and Hints 

I posted one on CoH site so thought would be good to drop one here too. Not sure if everyone that plays CoV goes to CoH site but no matter.

So I8 is finally arrived and everyone is happy(and then there was much rejoicing). Vet Rewards, Faultline, Police Band missions, addition to Pocket D and so much more. This little thread is to help out anyone that may never had a chance to go to the Test and play or dares not venture near the CoH forums.

Vet Rewards:
This is a program that gives badges, powers (perma-temp powers), costume choices, base items, and other lil gifts for their time on CoH/V. It runs in incrememnts of 3 so if you have played/paid for CoH for 9 months you would be eligible for 3,6, and 9 month rewards. This program is retroactive so it doesnt start now. If you have been playing CoH since release then you have around 30 some odd months (too lazy to figure out exact number). Also this program spans all characters new and old. If you just made someone today they will have all the Vet Rewards you older heroes have. The link below will show you all the available items for Veteran Reward Program:

Vet Reward Info

When you 1st sign into CoH/V you will see all these badges jump up on your screen, these are just the titles for the 3 month increments of your badge. For instance the 1st 3 month vet award is called Trustworthy and your reward would be Trenchcoat (plus free costume token). To claim your vet reward you will need to go to your Navigation Bar (where ever that may be), click on Badges, then side scroll till you see the tab titled Veteran. When you open this tab you will see all of the months you have racked up as well as what you have earn (under this tab you will see respec token, costume token, base details, and power tokens to claim).

When you are ready you can claim the item by simply clicking on the button next to the vet reward. Once you do this you will see a message flash across your screen indicating you have accepted the item (its not claimed and cant be again for that character).

If the item you claim is a power a pop up window appears allowing you to choose between the optional powers. Once you pick your powers you are unable to change it (even w/ respec). If you claim a respec or costume token all you need to do to use it is go to your nearest Icon (costume) or Jack Wolfe (respec in Galaxy City). As far as I know the issues with claiming all the respecs at once but not being able to use the others later has been solved. I do know you can claim all the free costume slots w/o error on doing new ones. If your claim a sprint power, once claimed all the sprint options will show in your Power Inventory, all you have to is add them to your tray to use. This also goes for whatever new perma-temp power you choose. Base items will go into your "Personal Items" and when your in your base you will be able to place them (if your allowed that is).

Now I am aware of two issues with claiming Vet Rewards. Base Items and Sprints, when you claim them still remain as items to claim. Dont bother with claiming them a 2nd time it still doenst go away and you dont get double prizes (i tried).

If anyone has any questions or anything additional to add that may help others (or even me) add to this. Maybe if you spotted a bug that your reported so we can be aware would be great too. This will be pinned for a few days in case it gets bumped off front page of site.

RE: I8: Help and Hints 

if you have any of the base item rewards, you can get them by clicking on the badge button.

once you place them in the base, they come off of your list, but do not fret! the base items can be replentished at any time by reclicking on the badge button!

RE: I8: Help and Hints 

Been working on the Radio mission, unleash plague in Paragon, for about 5 hours now, but have only seamed to have found 3 of 4 crates, anyone know if there is another way to complete the mission; I have already killed all the justice forces in the zone.

The crates are all there...you just have to go through all the alleys, as some are known to be hiding behind and/or between buildings.

RE: I8: Help and Hints 

I had the same problem your having but, my last crate was somewhere I didn't think it would be. It was in the parking garage on the top behind a car. Maybe that will help you or for a future referance.

Btw I hate that mish.
