Battle Level Affects

Archavious · May 2014

I tried playing around with the new Battle Level option in settings and do not see any changes to my stats.

The new Battle Level option in the gameplay settings menu allows you to choose whether you want your stats to be automatically adjusted in Cyrodiil or if you’d prefer to use the raw values of your stats.

Note: This option can only be toggled outside of Cyrodiil and its caves.

Stats that you receive through battle level bolstering in Cyrodiil and its delves have been increased.

I did the following:
1) Enabled Battle levels
2) Entered Cyrodiil
3) Screenshot

4) Left Cyrodill
5) Disabled Battle levels

6) Entered Cyrodiil
7) Screenshot

I am VR1. What sort of changes should I expect (if any).

Thanks.

Is this a simple toggle? You get boosts or not? We can't choose what to boost? Because my Level 38 character's magicka gets *lowered* when I go to Cyrodiil, while the cost of spells gets *raised*. I could get by against Level 50 mobs, but now that mobs are VR5, PvE is really difficult. I got a significant boost to Stamina, but my character is about 80% magicka attacks and 20% stamina attacks. I don't want to respec to a more stamina-focused build just for Cyrodiil-PvE-while-below-Veteran-Rank.
PvP was always suicidal for non-VR players, but at least you could PvE in Cyrodiil while hoping you don't stumble across an enemy player who wipes you in 0.1 seconds. But now PvP and PvE are crazy difficult. Is that on purpose? With Patch 1.1.2, do they intend Cyrodiil to be for VR players only?

It is not supposed to work for VRs. Those are your stats without any battle leveling. The toggle was made for people who are 40-49 and want their PvE stats in PvP, since a well geared ~45 has better stats than battle leveling.
