    Btw, All vet ranks are Level 50. Did I say that?

    That is playing semantics (badly). A VR 12 in max gear gear is substantially more powerful than a VR 1 max gear. A rose by any other name ...

    Pretend all you want, but the truth is that they are adding new levels with no new solo content to reach those levels. No other western MMORPG has done this because most people do not like forced grouping in MMORPGs.

    Vet rank is a level?

    No other western MMORPG does group content?

    People don't like group content in MMORPGs?

    Got it! Thanks.

    I can agree to disagree 100%.

    I can as well. +1 to you sir @Cogo.

    I cry for the public school system and the fact so many kids these days lack reading comprehension skills ...

    "Vet rank is a level?" As i indicated, calling it something else doesn't change the essence of what it is. A VR 12 player in max gear is substantially more powerful than a VR1 player in max gear.

    "No other western MMORPG does group content?" No one is saying that MMORPGs do not (or should not) have group content. What I said was that no western MMORPG has added new levels without, at the same time, adding new solo content to reach those levels.

    "People don't like group content in MMORPGs?" What I said was that people don't like FORCED grouping in MMORPGs.

    I don't know what is worse ... a lack of reading comprehension, or a blatant attempt to twist words to try to defend an untenable position.

    I personally want more guests to do.. Really good and interesting lore, i like it really much. i think group content is part of the lore to! I understand that people are frustrated to be forced group, to gain vet 13-14. But ins't it good thing, that zeni actually uses time, to make pve guests? And the out come of guest content is great. Also makes those guests properly voice acted, and lore friendly? how much time it would take to write a good book? Right, one guest is about 20-45 pages of that great book+ you have to write the story, voice act it, edit it, animate it, prog it ,test it. Then publish it. So yes i have actually seen, what it takes to make good content, and i don't wonder a second what takes so long. Also want to make one small point as well, there is people working at Zenimax, and i have noticed people seem to get sick time to time. And i know this might be really frustrating, if the main programmer is sick. :kiss:

    Veteran ranks are levels, there's really no valid argument that says otherwise.

    ....that they don't get the same benefits would be one. Just because you say there's no argument doesn't mean there's no argument. But keep insisting a tangerine is an orange if you want, I just want no part in a conversation like that.

    Good day sir.

    Morph Respecs! and much needed fixes! can't wait for this to go live.

    Do we get to choose what morphs we want to respec or do we just get an option to respec all morphs at a lower cost?

    I would much rather prefer to choose what morphs I want to respec.

    Is something ever going to be done about being stuck with the Warrior mundus stone? Still no updates for the issue from live, 1.3.5 didn't fix it, 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 have nothing.

    THIS.. THIS THIS
    If your group is bigger than 6 members gain 75% damage reduction.

    Write this on the back of your box and see how many sales you get!

    You won't get any new PvP players until this archaic AoE crap is fixed.
    I for one won't resub until:
    1.) You fix lag.
    2.) You remove AOE caps we voted against.
    3.) 12 months have passed (this is how long we've waited for you to 'get with it')[/b]

    We've made an edit to these patch notes. We removed the following note from the Combat & Gameplay section:
    • You now have the option to only respec morphs. This is less expensive than a full respec of all abilities.

    This change did not make it onto the PTS, but it will be in the live release of Update 4. We apologize for any confusion this caused!

    So do we get to choose which morph we want to respec or do u we have to pay a lower respec fee just to respec all morphs?

    I hope we can choose the morphs individually as respec all morphs is a bit of a waste of time sorry to say.

    and the non-vet campaigns are unfortunately just emperor / buff farm campaigns (and have VR5 guards O.o) -- so they are pretty much dead, meaning you have to face VR1-14 players on your lowbie.
    I think you may mean the 7day and the 'Vet' campaigns. It is an outright lie to say the Non-Vet campaign is like this. It's the most balanced campaign of all of them, was able to correct a one color conquer of the map on it's own. There have been less than a handfull of emperors by my last count, I think each alliance has had one.

    This cycle it's back to normal.. but the last 3 cycles were like that, at least on EU.. ie. http://esostats.com/33-Non_Vet_small_Blackwater_Blade_small

    Hence why I dislike the timed part of the campaigns, each reset it anybody's guess if the next cycle is going to be playable. If one side abuses the reset time to capture the entire map, people just go play somewhere else until the next reset.

    If there was a never ending, scoreless campaign, I'd select that one in a jiffy.

    I think if enough players canceled their subs and informed zos as to why then they might actually reconsider adding the new Vet Ranks.

    I have done this but it takes a good amount of players to get their attention. Hitting their pocket books will get their attention.

    You sure about that? Is it on PTS only you're complaining about, because I tested the disease weapon enchant's heal debuff on a cyrodiil mender last night. My results with a legendary enchant were that without the debuff on it, the mender healed for ~430 a tick with its channeled heal. If I had applied "befouled weapon" to the mender recently it was only healing for about 300-310.

    I'm guessing this is one of those forum rumors again that hasn't actually been tested on the others as well, but is being spread around by people who also haven't checked their facts :(?

    Obviously the statement with the keyword annoying is an opinion. Opinions by definition are not shared by 100% of the population, so there's no reason to point out that it's an invalid comment :p just because you disagree :).

    A huge number of people have asked for camera options to be added and they did so for first-person but neglected third. I think it's time to give third-person users their fixes now too.
