As a planetside fan im proud to be a planetside 1 vet, and when planetside 2 comes about it would be really nice to have a Veteran Tilte in some form. Maybe a Sub title under my player name or a call of duty style "callsign Title"/Battlefield Tag or somthink to show other players that I was a Planetside 1 Veteran.

What you think? any ideals how to maybe apply this into the game?

This is somthink i would really love and im sure others would too :)

Recently t-ray mentioned vets would get some sort of badge/merit/achievement

I'd prefer just a badge. I certainly wouldn't want to make a bigger target out of myself than I already will be.

Mostly, I'm just happy with beta priority access. An indication of my presence in the previous game amounts to nothing in this game as far as I'm concerned, and I'm not worried about impressing the vets, arguably the only people that will care.

All vets should get a pink (glow in the dark) bunny suit during the first week of release. :P~

Sounds awesome. It will be so humiliating when nubs are dying left and right to glow in the dark pink bunnies. :D

Vets should get the exclusive 'overly-stuffed-cod-piece' visual customization option.

I think you should have a permenant large neon arrow with Veteran in rainbow letters visable through structures and landscapes , just to be sure everyone knows your a vet and super coo .

Don't really need a merit or any title honestly.... I am not one for segregation. I would wear it if it was there but I feel like the newer guys would be put off by it.

I don't want the new guys to feel like they are any less than me or any other vets :)

Either a special "Vet" symbol that shows on the killcam/screen next to your name. Or a special edition Vet camo, item, or faction specific gun skin.

I would think having a Vet emblem next to your name on the killcam would be easy to do.

Wow, playing an old game sure gives some people a sense of entitlement. Do you honestly think anyone cares that you liked Planetside before it was cool?

We already got bumped to the head of the line for Beta, grabbing for more after that is just weird.

A small title or badge isn't so bad though? It's just the developers catering to the people that made this game possible.

Guys we're getting a badge/merit/achievement for being vets.

So stop demanding something.

And the new guys, stop calling vets entitled.

So.. "it would be nice" gets translated into entitlement, grabbing, and demanding...

I don't think its the OP that has the problem... :rolleyes:

What you think?

I wouldn't wear mine. It would immediately nullify any excuse for the all kinds of terrible I'm going to be at K/D ratio and so on. Well, unless there's some cool broad-side-of-a-barn customization that those NC and TR guys just can't pass up wearing. Then I'd be comfortable telling people, "yeah, I played PS1 and some counter-strike/quake (yeah, the original versions) back in the day".

I would like a title..

(Veteran) "players name"

So in game for example..

I want a badge on my chest that looks like the old Planetside symbol -- the one that looks like an alien throwing star. And a pony.

So stop demanding something.

PS1 Veterans should all get an exclusive common pool VTOL!

Can anyone spot the flaw in this guy's logic? PlanetSide was always cool.

Seriously though, I don't need a title. I'll just tell people I played PlanetSide if it's relevant.

What the fuck is up with this look at me im better than you mentality? No one cares if your a "vet", just like they dont give a shit that im a "vet". STFU and play the game bitch.

As a vet i believe all vets are entitled to a big fucking robot with shields that need focus fire from 50+ tanks. Laser beams would also be cool.. and it can fly.

But srs its already been confirmed their gonna do something small for vets.

the Ps1 veteran title should be "Hello my name is <nick> and I used to play the first Planetside so that is why I have this godawful long name covering your entire screen it is very nice to meet you"

And it's always showing for friends and foe so you can't really hide anywhere.

Actually its probably money from SOEs other games, which actually are big, who paid for PS2. Maybe Everquest people should get a special tag?

As a PS1 vet, please no special uniform, title or silly hat. I am not a special snowflake because I played a game a few years ago. It does not fill me with pride.

To those people who want something special ask yourself why you want it.

If its a merit or even potentially a custom skin for say light assault you can just disable it probably. I wouldn't worry about it. I wouldn't mind having a merit of some kind like in PS showing you are one. I don't want big pink letters over my head saying VETERAN though.

Its probably the same mindset that moved the dev team to already decide to give Vets and Beta Players something in recognition of service.

Yup thats silly as well, I just dont understand the yearning for some sort of special recognition or award.
