    Veteran Ranks are never going away.

    It's just simply never going to happen. The sooner you accept it the easier it will be for you when they officially announce it.

    So like ZOS! They said they wouldn't raise level cap with Orsinium, not that they would never raise them again. Is that a lie of omission?

    Power level to CP160 in a week:
    Where is the end game? You just played it.
    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.

    I've not even finished getting VR16 gear sorted which has left me with no gold.

    And now they're talking about VR17 - VR18

    getting rid of vet levels should be on top of their priorities list if they don't want to lose a large chunk of the player base in my opinion.

    Christ dude get a grip. Every MMO in history worth mentioning has raised their level cap over the years. FFXI WOW Everquest etc. It's fun to progress, get stronger, and theory craft new builds with new gear.

    Yeah but it usually doesn't happen every few month, especially when official word is still that this sort of progression will be removed. Also GW2 is not rising the level cap, which proves it's not needed.

    For me, I want to optimize my character at max rank. If I put in all this work to make my khajit a beast at v16, then they release v18... all that work is wasted and I have to remake everything. If they keep doing this, then what's the point of remaking it if it'll just be obsolete in a couple months? It trivializes the game.

    Yes, and they're not rasing the cap in this DLC, but clearly they're gearing up for vr18 in the future. I'm fine with that.

    They aren't adding new mats for crafting.

    So gear will be trivial by the time new vet ranks come about.

    PS you get a skill point and some stats per vr rank.

    Why do you want to give those up?

    Because Rich made a HUGE scene on ESO Live yesterday and previously in the forums about VR16 being the level cap.

    Well they do need to be careful here. Ability cost increases with your VR. If the new gear and base regen does not scale evenly, then we will be getting weaker not stronger.

    They increased the level cap three times already, and announced the removal of vet ranks almost a year ago.

    Because I don't need two skillpoints and two attribute points. Also I have better stuff to do than grinding for new gear every few month. If v18 comes early next year, basically all I have to do now is make some gold so I can buy the new stuff.

    I really don't care what level system they use. I'm just tired of being treated like a mushroom......kept in the dark and fed BS.

    Why would you want a skill point and a few extra stats, enjoy chasing that carrot.

    Maybe the left it there accidentally? I mean, if they said yesterday there would absolutely not be a V17 and V18 then perhaps they had thought about it but changed their minds. That achievement may have been overlooked? I don't know :/

    Hey all,

    We are not raising the Veteran Rank level cap. The text is a relic of the past that we missed in our clean up pass, and won't be included when the patch goes to the live megaservers. Hope this helps to clarify!

    Does "We are not raising the Veteran Rank level cap" apply to all future dlc or just this one?

    Thanks, Jason.

    I don't suppose you could elaborate if that will ever become an achievement, like, say in the Q1 or Q2 DLC, or does that simply depend on the progress of the VR removal/conversion?
