Zenimax, this needs to be looked at NOW! 98% reduction in XP gain

dharbert

There's a certain delve that I usually run in Auridon, and it is now giving me 98.8% less XP than before the update. This can't be right. As it is currently, I would have to run this delve 31,834 times to gain a single veteran level.

There is no way in hell this can be right.

You know vet levels shouldnt be handed out for free... Now hurry back you have 31,833 runs left to do...

They wrote themselves, that they expected it take shorter time to go up in VR level.

This contradicts that.

Perhaps it is a stealth nerf on grinders to encourage them to a] do all three alliances b] do group only content and pvp. It sounds like you were grinding experience at one delve. That almost sounds very very boring and exploitive since who but a grinder would do that?

I've done Cadwell's Silver and most of Cadwell's Gold. I don't just grind delves. I like this particular delve because of the sets that it drops and also to level up weapons and skills.

You liked it enough to know the exact exp counts on it and in comparison to what you get now. I never even notice how much experience I get on anything and I'm vet level 9. So obviously that stands out

There's another thread or two discussing this as well.

@ZOS_GinaBruno‌ any comment?

Even if thats the case, mmos usually offer alternate ways to gain xp, including the quite valid grind method.

I also posted this in the Customer Service section and got a dev response. We'll see what happens.

Apparently the VP to XP conversion is currently a train wreck and is not even close to being equivalent.

I pointed this out on PTS to no avail. Quest XP, World Boss clearing XP, etc., are all much much lower XP than they were VP. Yes, you need less XP than you needed VP to level, but the XP is ridiculously low. It used to be that doing the quests and exploring/clearing the map would get you next VR level. I have not done an entire zone yet with latest patch, but there does not seem to be anywhere near enough XP to, say, go from VR4 to VR5 just by doing everything in VR4 Malabal Tor.

The higher VR xp demands has been nerfed too, it was 5.5 mill from VR13 to 14 now its 1.5.
On the other hand grinding is an valid way to level it even give achievements you can not get other ways.

On the gripping hand, this one don't get any XP for doing delves in Auridon as veteran, its unfair if the other factions should get it.

dharbert

Let's put this into perspective, shall we?

To get from VR13 to VR14 used to be about 5.5 million VP. Now it takes about 1.5 million XP. That's a 72.7% reduction.

The delve I usually run used to give 3,917 VP per run, now it only gives 45 XP (some of the mobs now give ZERO XP). That is a 98.8% reduction in comparable gain.

ZOS, you need to adjust your VP/XP ratio by 26%. It's way the hell off.
