    No. ESO is my home, and as long as I have hope that a fix will come I'll be here.

    Hopefully it isn't delayed to the next incremental patch. It needs to be updated as soon as it's ready.

    Are they kidding -- they did not fix the quest the one thing they admitted was incorrect. This means the only thing left is to grind your heads off to level -- you will not pass go --- go straight to jail -- and for ever no not quest anymore. This is really insane -- now I'm sure the government has taken over Zos -- I was sure only they could screw the pooch so bad

    I agree, but I still have a bunch of other stuff to do, so I'll be fine. I just wish that had put in the patch notes that they were still working on the quest XP bug.

    What ISN'T in this patch: fixes to vet leveling (aka what we asked for).

    What IS in this patch: nerfs to nirncrux from BS writs; "accidental" nerfs to container loot (what we did not ask for).

    I asked for the Dwemer bag fix also, besides the Vet XP. Guess we can not get our cake and eat it too. Oh well, I have plenty to do ingame and I can wait.

    Yeah, there were quite a few threads asking for a fix to Dwemer containers. That really is a much needed fix.

    Yeah but what's the bet it will turn out to be a nerf instead, because ZOS.

    Really? I'm surprised Gina's clarification post was even found. Seems like a bunch of damage control, around the same time that subscriptions are being renewed.

    Its just some shady ***.

    OH Really?

    "Due to the elimination of Veteran Points, you may need to rethink your leveling strategy a little from what you previously used to doing to gain a Veteran Rank."

    With quests not having enough xp to level VR's for next zone - since the whole system is based on a totally different count - the only 'strategy' I can think of right now is getting a grinding-bot.

    Worse if you don't follow the forum but do Callwinds silver and gold you are pretty ***.

    I can understand that stuff like balancing of the leveling in dungeons take time.
    However this is an cap on xp earned from quests who should be an simple setting.

    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    My V8 Templar moved into Rivenspire just before patch 1.5 and was 24% complete into V8.

    I have now completed all quests, dolmens, public dungeon-complete, world bosses, dungeons and plenty of random mob killing and I'm now sitting at 72% complete of V8. That is less that half a Vet rank per zone now, where as before the patch I would get more than one veteran rank per zone.

    This is a huge nerf to quest and general xp.

    I hope everyone starts posting actual numbers for their XP gains for quests, dolmen, dungeons and bosses.

    We shouldn't have to do every single thing on the map to level. That's what grinding is, just as much as sitting in one spot hitting a mob over and over again. Painful is painful.

    What they should've done is increase everything across the board, so we could pick and choose what we want to level on, and always have wriggle room (basically so we have more things than we actually need to level from, and play how we want to reach the same end point).

    It's clear they just don't listen to us, and have no idea what the player base actually wants, then keep trying to force their vision on us (which unfortunately seems to be pain mechanics and grinding).


    I agree with you 100%. I only request people post hard data to shine a light on how completely out of whack this whole thing is. When dolmen completions go from 30k+ in mid VR's down to 4k then the only way we can level is purely grinding every single quest
    "it's important to state that our decision to go with subscriptions is not a referendum on online game revenue models. F2P, B2P, etc. are valid, proven business models - but subscription is the one that fits ESO the best, given our commitment to freedom of gameplay, quality and long-term content delivery. Plus, players will appreciate not having to worry about being "monetized" in the middle of playing the game, which is definitely a problem that is cropping up more and more in online gaming these days." - Matt Firor

    Heh, I'm honored to get quoted. Hopefully someone can get in there and test if the new patch did anything. My sub lapsed this morning (due to insufficient funds... lol).

    ZoS should be ashamed of themselves.

    Are you implying that doing quests to level up isn't grinding, when in the veteran zones?

    Because if you are then you're pretty silly.

    I'm pretty sure what he means is that if you can only get less than 1/2 a vet level per zone now, then the only way to move to the next zone or the one after is to grind in Craglorn or grind mobs in your current zone for a week or two.

    Otherwise you will be V2 and questing in a V4 zone, etc. etc.

    They answer on reddit because its a public forum. So anything negative gets dealt with as they dont want the bad publicity. Im going to head over to redit to let the public know that if they buy this game not to expect any integrity or communication. Once you become a player they stop listening to your concerns. This information should have been posted here first. As a matter of fact it should only be posted here because it only effects subscribers....

    No - If you had read it all - What I was implying is that questing is a wasting of time until they due fix it and that just grinding mobs is all that is left
