1.5.x Is a massive let down

mistermagic87b14_ESO

I reactivated to enjoy the best new feature of 1.5.

"It takes 1,432,550 Experience Points to gain a Veteran Rank. We expect this to reduce the amount of time it takes to gain a Veteran Rank."

I went in thinking - great I can actually put in some time and feel like I'm getting closer towards my end game goal faster than pre 1.5.

Log in. Craglorn dead - everyone is saying that grind xp (the way I prefer to level) is dead. Doesn't exist anymore. Attempt to quest. XP is atrocious.

I'm a long time fan of DAoC moved to this game because it's the closest thing out there comparable to DAoC RVR/PVP. My goal is to hit end game content and solo/small man PVP. I have no interest in PVE. I hate large scale pvp it's mindless. I prefer fun interesting small scale fights - in my opinion that's where it's at. I've attempted to solo/small man it can be done - but if you run into anyone with VR's on you it's near impossible to kill a geared out/vet leveled player or group unless you choose to large scale battle - which I do not like.

I don't want veteran ranks handed to me I have no issues earning my ranks. I just want to be able to gain vet ranks in a reasonable amount of time so I can experience end game cyrodiil the way I'd prefer to play it.

15 hours per VR level is NOT REASONABLE. I do not want to have to spend 210 + hours VR1-14(on each character) to gain max VR to be competitive in Cyrodiil.

If something isn't drastically reworked you've lost me and my friends as subscribers.

ESO is a online lore based game designed with PVE and stories first and the majority of PVP is large scale "epic battles"...

So I think this is the wrong game for you.

"the wrong game for you" = the sound of someone about to be alone.

Agreed to disagree. Everyone has their own play style. Just because that's the majority of what's done doesn't mean each player can't enjoy different aspects.
The majority of what was done in daoc was zerging/large scale. Yet other playstyles still existed. Small scale /solo/duo/8v8.

Ahhh, wait, can't grind levels anymore? Honestly would have unsubscribed if grinding wasn't an option. Leveled through Cadwells gold, WBs, dungeons, etc to VR9.8. Got to VR14 through grinding.

If more VR levels are added without the option to grind, say goodnight gracie

I already unsubbed - I admit I'm just bitter and annoyed. I Feel I was told one thing and then got another. I may consider resubbing when champion levels come out but until then - I feel it's a waste of time.

Rank gain by 35% to compensate for the new Attribute Points rewarded.
It takes 1,432,550 Experience Points to gain a Veteran Rank. We expect this to greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to gain a Veteran Rank.

Perhaps it is time to fire the intern responsible for this "improvement"?

I feel your pain. My love of the massive PVP keeps me going. With i could actually continue questing to up my VR rank. I am wondering now... will they mess up this bad when releasing the Championship System.

Rest assured.....Yes...Yes they will.

But after a few weeks all will be well again.
