Until the champion system is fully implemented with "seasoned" gear, this is the only mechanic to increase gear strength.
So calm down . . .
If PvE wasn't the only way to sufficiently level up then this wouldn't be a problem. ZOS' left hand is not speaking to it's right... Again.
It's not. You can level very quickly in pvp if you're making good ap . A couple of nights can take you up a few vr's easily.
What MMO have you played where in the first 6 months the itemization and progression has been so bad they've had to increase the level cap twice?
It's not a level cap, though. The level cap is 50; vet ranks are just gear gates.
On-topic:
Nirnhoned is spell resistance as a trait, for those wondering, for armor. For weapons it's a chance to proc a spell resist buff.
Lol, right.. VR's aren't a level cap. Give me a break.
Are you new to MMO's? Unless you have only ever played WOW (which I only played for about 2 weeks ever), gear and updates come pretty consistently.

Sorry but sitting in a corner of a choke with an oil pot farming AP isn't fun for me. You have fun with that though.
That's not even an efficient way to earn AP anyway . You have fun with that yourself?
What's an "efficient way to earn AP" then?

ZOS: Is cyrodiil taking time to spin up? I've been in queue for 10 minutes as solo position 1 with no pop to zone in .
I've played pretty much every AAA MMO in the past ten years. I can't recall any that increased the level cap as liberally as this game.Attorneyatlawl wrote: »Maverick827 wrote: »This is a level cap increase.

It's new gear, plain and simple, that requires you to earn some XP to equip. You didn't exactly answer my question... have you only ever played WOW before? That's the only game I know of that moves that slowly...timidobserver wrote: »I do not mind VR14. It gives me a reason to do the new content.

100% agreed.... I still will, mostly, but I'll run through it for some XP and to see the story quickly for sure, whereas otherwise I'd probably just ignore it.

ZOS is destroying their player base left and right. They have terrible balance in the game between magicka users and stamina users so they redo all the gear. This made players craft entirely new sets of gear. Now they're going to screw you again and raise the level cap so all the gear you crafted and upgraded will be old and out of date way too fast.
What about unbreakable CC? Did I miss the patch notes where they're going to fix unbreakable CC? This has been going on for a long time now and they're not addressing it.
Again, you're buffing bows and reducing time and stamina to cast Snipe? The ability that is hitting people for 1700 damage? You're going to buff it?

I'm getting tired of having to PvE to PvP in your game.
Good thing you can earn vr14 gear in pvp too then... your post isn't exactly constructive feedback though . It's an MMO, what do you expect?

By the time this launches my hireling and casual deconing will have given me enough mats to replace my gear.
Removing the orb has been requested by a large number of players for a very long time, with numerous polls being made on the subject, and it has been repeatedly ignored by ZOS. I bring it up again with the faint hope that they will finally listen.Attorneyatlawl wrote: »If someone's experiencing seizures from it, it might be nice if they added a toggle option but I mean...

Meh, the glory days of 15k orange glyphs are long gone anyway. Enchanting's been hardly worth the time for quite awhile now.

Dear God, I'm tired of seeing this argument. It's meaningless. The level cap is not 50. (insert name of what you get when you get experience) are useful for several things, better gear, skill points, attributes, etc. Yes, you stop getting skill points and attributes after level 50. (Aside: why are there only 49 attribute points and not 50?) But functionally the VR levels are still levels for the purpose of everything else in the game. So just stop. Really.

Agreed 100%. It is a level cap that is not needed in any way. I want to play the game, and I don't want to level more on all three of my characters when they already know the system is bad.
Please remove VR14. My RL friend and good PVP buddy cancelled his subscription a few minutes ago. I'm seriously thinking about it myself.
