First it summons a portal that only you can see. Right-clicking the portal gives you two options. One option is to port to a group member anywhere in the world. The second option is to summon a group member from anywhere in the world to your location. Once you use an option the portal goes away. I think the recast time on it is 60 minutes.Yes, this works across zones and yes it works in dungeons. A player must meet the requirements for the zone before they can be summoned to you. So this means they have to have access to the zone and can't possess a lockout timer for another instance of that zone. Our goal with the summoning ability was to allow veterans to share the "coolness" of this item with other players that might not have it yet.Yes, the feature was a PITA to create. We hope you like it though. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Thanks for explaning it and adding it.Not a fan of the TS vitality restorer being so far separated from the adventuring one but overall, respectable package and the CoV more than makes up for any gripes.

That's why it seems strange to not see them this time. So, some people complained about it. That doesn't mean there aren't those of us who would like to receive them. I won't complain about not getting them, was just asking if they won't be included. Also missing is the title. I know that the 5th year didn't have one, but seemed likely this one would.

So far it is just you, but then again it is just me on the other side of the fence. It's a great item that adds to all the toys I have and is nothing like Station Cash taking away from the carpenter (or other TSers). It is free and a more accurate description would be to compare furniture and such earned through quest vs what the carpenter makes. If they sold the item on station cash then I feel you might have an argument but atm I do not, but that is just my opinion and in no way is it "wrong"

Love the new rewards, Call of the Veteran is going to be real nice - can see that coming in handy a lot with my duo partner (we never seem to need to go back to town at the same time :p). The tradeskill vitality is much appreciated, too. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Why is the gnome wearing a hood of fate when the armor in the other pic says hood of destiny, though?

You are wrong, the ability to summon across zones is NOT in the game with the tinkered item, the conjuror spell or the racial ability. Those abilities, items and spells should be upgraded to match the veteran reward ability or the give the short end of the stick to tinker's, conjuror's and the races that get the call ability. It IS taking away the value of those.

I've been viewing everyone's responses, and it would be nice if the 6th year Veteran's pack did includ potions for tradeskill and levelling since there will be a new expansion coming out that raises the level pack. And before anyone gets up on their soap box complaining that it's an unfair advantage... I don't see it as being unfair for those people who've been faithful EverQuest II subscribers since release. Those folks should get the goodies! Not to mention the fact that you can buy xp pots in the marketplace almost as good as what people are getting in the veteran's packs. I think that the percentage difference is only at about 5% or so? I believe that the ones in some veteran's packs are 55% and the max on the ones you can buy is like 50%.A title should be granted as well imho.Or perhaps do the title thing even one better and make it so that the people who've been playing since launch get the title of Settler or some such? Maybe Pioneer? I dunno... But, surely the folks at SoE have records that show who's been around that long. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />To be honest there is always going to be someone who doesn't like the way things are done, and will always disagree with any veteran's pack of any sort being offered. But, your long standing players are going to be your veteran player base that you're going to want to take care of, well at least in my opinion. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

How is that taking away the value of tinker's call or leaving them behind, why should they be rewarded in the same manner as those that have been playing longest? The veteran rewards should always be better than what's readily available in game as a spell, tradeskill item, or buyable item from the marketplace. Otherwise why bother even rewarding the players who've got years of time and money invested in the game? If you absolutely have to have what's available as a vet pack, and do not have the time invested to actually get the veteran's pack for free, then maybe SOE can make them available in the marketplace at a higher rate of sale then the stuff that is in there now.<blockquote> Those abilities, items and spells should be upgraded to match the veteran reward ability or the give the short end of the stick to tinker's, conjuror's and the races that get the call ability.

Cool feature on the veteran reward. Tinkerers have enough fun toys, I don't think they'll feel too badly about not having theirs upgraded to match this. After next expac everyone worth a salt will take the time to get tinkering up as we'll be able to do both tinkering and transmuting, which really would diminish the exclusivity of this effect on the veterans reward.Conjurors however, well put me down as another conjuror who thinks this would be awesome for CoTH. After all this isn't much to ask of something that was originally a class defining ability, and absolutely a great way to tell 1/2 of your summoners "Thanks for not /deleting" even with the state of summoner balancing atm <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Just standard SOE habits. this ability should never have been given as a veteran reward, it should have been added into the conjuror's spell period, It would at least give them something to be useful and wanted for.

This is a VET reward. It is meant to be given as a SPECIAL bonus to players who have been playing since day one. It is meant to be a REWARD for such a long dedication to the game. It isn't meant to be a item, or ability that anyone starting a new acct can get as a default spell. If you could do such a thing, then the vet reward wouldn't be special at all.For anyone who thinks this item is overpowered. Excuse me, but putting six years into a game afords a bit of a reward to those who have spent the money, and the time to get there. That is why an item of this rating is not found, in the game as a default spell. That is why the item's re-use timer is one hour. It is meant as a THANK YOU to the players who have invested so much into Everquest.That is all I have to say.

So we will now have level 1 toons created on 6 year vet accounts placed as contested spotters all over Norrath and placed for leapfrogging content, nice.This should never have been placed in game as a claim item for veteran rewards. It should be a per toon with some effort put into obtaining it.So I wonder how long it will be now before Station Cash pops up with the "Veteran Token". . .

I def want the vet reward, no dobut.But I will add myself to those tinkerers who think you really need to go back and buff that at some point. Call of tinkerer was an expensive "RARE" blueprint, in Tier 8, and took like what... was it 6 or 8 RARE T7 LOAMS to craft. I wouldn't equate that 6 years on an account, but it sure as hell should be more than just a single call to someone in the same zone as you, epically if they upgrade the T9 COTH ability like they should.I know first priority would be to see if T9 conjy spell could act this way and I'd say class before tradeskill in that regard.Perhaps Call of tinkerer could just have reuse totally removed for a start, or given the port to any zone, but not the whole 2 way portal deal. I dunno', but other than the waste call of tinkerer is made by the change, I'm super pumped about the reward, it is without doubt the best one yet.

But how many people were farming it 2 years ago? How many people still have either conjs or spotters parked there to cot to for epic updates?What do you think the next Queen will be in SF?And yes, with all the potential farming capabilities I would expect you to be jazzed about it.

The super CoT isn't much of a reward if you ask me. As others have pointed out, you can be anywhere in the game in 1-2 minutes as it is now. This is just catering to the lazy and it is useless to soloers.This does make me wonder why I spent the time to level a tinker. Seems like all useful earned abilities end of as free in one form or another eventually. Still waiting for my human monk to be given tracking.on the bright side, Words of Pure Magic will be a no brainer with a level 4 now.

Add my vote for really really liking the new CoV!It came in real handy last night when guildees were deep in Stormhold and I was in Qeynos when I joined the group.However, one thing I found out: if the one you're CoVing to is zoning, make sure they're thru when you teleport to them. The CoV gets hung up, just sits there with a notify that the teleport request is processing, and never unhangs even after the other has finished zoning.I didn't know my guildee was zoning when I clicked on their name, they had just zoned at nearly the same time I clicked. I first got that the char couldn't be found, and then it stuck on the teleportation processing message, and just sat there for five mins or more. It never teleported me to them, tho an hour later it reset and was usable again.I figured it was just a bad timing glitch, tho in retrospect it could probably happen again.

Give us a few 2-room houses at Gnomeland Security and a decent-length questline to open them up. All you'd really need is a 'door' that connects to and from the standard inn room. Do the same for Butcherblock Docks, Teren's Grasp, Rilliss (sp?), Danak, Windstalker Village, Somborn, the village in TS. Honestly, anywhere NPCs actually live and defend should have at least an inn room available. Putting in the possibility of extra bind spots would probably be more difficult, but why not have something similar to the guildhall call for your personal house?<cite>Brigh wrote:</cite><blockquote>I asked to see a tradeskill filler in another thread, and got one.</blockquote>The 6-year Vet Reward was 'your' idea.(Yes, a stupid play off the Windows 7 commercials <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> )
