Legerdemain Skill

CreepySpydre · February 2015

Something to consider, and pretty much overlooked. Experience is gained for picking locks, this is including chests. There should be retro-xp for the amount done, in all fairness. Since there is an achievement for the amount of chest locks picked, it would be easy to give the xp for them... up to 1000, I believe.

Agreed. I'm still sore over not granting retro-active experience for the Undaunted line (I just now got to rank 7...).

Unfortunately, given their track record on these kinds of things, I'm not hopeful they will. For some reason, ZOS really does not think of (or care about) the consequences of many of the changes for existing players.

Not going to happen. We weren't retroactively given Undaunted skill line points when the Undaunted dailies were introduced

Finding chests is much easier than not being able to redo undaunted content and not getting credit for it.

So you think they will give you the first 3 or 4 skills free on a new skill line? I don't see this happening even thought it is personally reasonable request.

It's not 3 or 4 skills. It will get you almost to level 10.
There's no way they would do that.

This is just ridiculous! You expect them to give you free xp for a new skill line they just introduced? The whole point of coming out with new content for an MMO, is to keep the players interested and provide something to work for. If they just gave you the skills for free, what would be the point? The same methodology applies to the Undaunted skill line.

In fact, I'm surprised ZOS provided bonus CP points when they introduced the Champion system. It's generous, but unnecessary. Too many people like you whined about not being compensated for your "work." It's an MMO! You're supposed to have something to do. Your FPS generation infiltrated the MMO market when WoW came out and polluted the genre, creating a flood of new games catering to the instant gratification crowd.

You like the new Legerdemain skill line? Of course you do! You're supposed to. Now stop crying about previous chests you've opened and go enjoy it!

Cheers, mate.

The people wanting retroactive rewards for everything they've done in the past 10 months are the same people b!tching that there isnt enough left to do. Ironic, isnt it?

Indeed. It's enough already!

Maybe because doing the same content for 8+ months get boring, and they want to be able to do more in the world they enjoy? Same reason why people clamor for new seasons of their favorite TV shows.

This is true. However, it is much faster/easier to find chests while you're already running around questing, getting skyshards, exploring, etc. Now, leveling up Legerdemain is like leveling up Undaunted: it's a natural part of the progression of new characters. It's also by no means as frustrating as not granting Undaunted experience, but just another example of a change that doesn't seem to take into account the situations of players who have already completed most, if not all, existing content (which isn't hard to do given how long the game has been out).
