I'm seeing VR 14s already. How should this even be possible? ZOS are you even trying?

Also, for all you folks butthurt about having to 'grind' out 2 more VR levels, I know scoff and laugh.

I mean that's just silly to have the update not be out for even 12 hours and have people already plowed through that much exp.

This game is broken.

    People got 1 level in half a day and this is broken? in WoW people got 10 lvls in a day at the release of a new xpack, I think half a day is way ahead of the curve

    12 hours? Seems a little slow, I bet crag is full of people right now grinding as we speak.

    This is the video game equivalent of the "China rising" economic phenomenon.

    Welcome to the grind. It's the destination, not the journey.

    Keep your eye on the prize. Tangible gains. And remember...

    You are only as good as what you PWN.

    Some people just have to buy latest iphone on the midnight, even if it means:
    - sleeping in a tent to hold the queue spot
    - taking a dump at Mcdonald's across the street
    - not taking a shower for 5 days straight - someone could jump the queue...

    They love to do it, it's their idea of fun and accomplishment, don't be negative about it bro.

    That is just insane..

    ZOS should have made the exp amount like 50 mil per level for the next two VR ranks..

    10 mil I guess, is just a drop in the bucket for Craglorn Grinders..

    It's possible because they lowered the experience required to hit vr 13 and vr 14.
    In order to provide for new itemization and to ensure a better feeling of achievement in Dragonstar Arena, Sanctum Ophidia, and Upper Craglorn, the maximum Veteran Rank has been increased to 14. We have also reduced the Veteran point cost for Veteran Ranks 13 and 14 so it takes less time to progress through those ranks.
    Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?

    I'm not really complaining but I find it odd that the newest cap has had it's xp reduced. I would have thought the company would like players to earn xp in the newest areas the longest. I would have lowered the requirements for VR level 11 and 12 to get people to V13+ faster, then kept those xp requirements a bit higher. Basically make it slightly easier to get to the new endgame with every new expansion.

    Wouldn't make any sense given that there was no experience bar at vr 12.

    From the patch notes, they didn't exactly focus on making it difficult to do.

    The hard part for those players will be replacing all that gear.

    Why does it bother you that people want max level so they can pvp again? People like myself hate pve and would rather spend time having fun in cyro, you might be opposite but I don't complain that you don't level fast enough and pve too much

    I know a heap of guys in a few of the PvP guilds I belong to that have a tonne of AP saved up so they can purchase blue VR14 crates, the only thing stopping them is their level.

    They will all be in Craglorn grinding right now (I'd be with them if I wasn't at work right now) so they can get all the good gear both crafted and levelled up to VR14.

    In Cyrodiil, having the best gear you can get does make a difference between life and death.

    Some people actually played hookie from work for this update. I usually never see my guild outside of pvp, but today was an exception. I had a good time, although I only got about 30% to vr13. I am in no big hurry, but expect to be there in a few more days.

    Last time I logged off I was happy because I was so close to level 12... I forgot about this update's new level cap. I reckon it's going to take me about a month to get to 14. Is it possible to level to 14 solo?

    Haha I like that reply.

    While I wont do these type of things for a phone or a game, I know what you mean. Some things are valued so high that you would do almost everything to get them.

    I once camped two days infront of a ticket office to get a ticket for a big DJ, that's more than 10 years ago now so back then we didn't had internet ticket sales like today where you can sit in your chair laid back and click "buy" ;)
