PVP XP Gain

Wizzo91

Hello,

I've been inactive for some time now and just quit after the level cap was increased do VR14. One night I PVPed for 4hours, gained 100k alliance points and 50% to VR13 in XP. Last night about the same amount and I gained laughable 50k XP?

Is this intented or not? I hope not...

It's the nature of PVP vs. PVE for leveling in any game... varying success and levels of activity even with the same time spent will result in a vastly different amount of earnings in PVP while PVE is basically guaranteed to be there at a set rate. It's why when a new game launches everyone levels in PVE virtually exclusively unless a game or patch is setup to provide many, many times the XP potential to even things out for PVP.

well the problem is the xp reduction if your enemy regardless of pve or pvp is below your rank. this mechanic should not be in action in pvp anyway but as it is and in conjunction with the current ****ed up lvling in general players 2 vetranks below you are more or less worthless. but as they cant lvl anyway they are going into cyrodiil gaining a few AP´s atleast. leading to a situation where you get nearly no xp in pvp thx to lvl dicrepencys.

But the leveling potential was there before the patch. I'm not comparing PVE to PVP but PVP (before patch) to PVP now.

There is a 90% drop in XP here.

as i've said.
prior to 1.5 the xp check per player was
player1 vr14 = lvl 50 check
player two vr10 = lvl 50 check => 100 xp reward who ever will be killed.

currently the check is
player1 =vr14
player2 =vr10 4 "lvl" seperation = 1% xp (with a functioning 1.5.3 patch it'll be 75% exp)

Thank you very much for the clarification. Seems I missed that when reading through the patch notes

So the XP system is actually broken at the Moment? Thanks for the Info.
