When will the vet levels be gone so I can play again?

Azalin76

I am wondering when Veteran levels will be removed from the game? I feel that the game is broken and unplayable right now because I don't want to level to V14 only to have it taken away from me when they decide to remove Veteran levels. I have not played the game in a month or two because all of my characters are at max level of 50 (currently V1). I think they really dropped the ball by dropping 1.6 before taking out Veteran levels. If they plan on removing it then they should just allow us to skip to V14 when we reach lvl 50 and be done with it while they are waiting to take it away, to me the game would actually be playable then.

Best case scenario, Q4 2015 (though unlikely) .

Because the numbers are stopping you?

Why do you think they will abscond with the Veteran system?

technohic

Check back in July. We might know by then, but I'm not sure. We do know that it will at least be there until after console launch.

In the meantime; you will be falling behind in champion points as well, so not sure this is the best strategy.

They are introducing VR10 recipes with the 1.6 update today. Veteran ranks are going to continue to be around for quite some time.

Answer never.You need grind Champion points instead of vet levels and i think future "seasons of gear" will require "X" number of CP to wear it.

Yes the leveling takes forever to get from V1 to V14 and is absolutely pointless, which makes the game zero fun for me. Until they fix this I will not be playing this game anymore, which sucks because I really enjoy the game.

You wouldn't be competitive with 0CP either...

Psychotius

Unfortunately, MMORPG's are all about the grind (or, the dreaded micro-transactions to pay for power). One way or the other, you'll either lose your taste for ESO or you'll be munching on some grindage with the rest of us.

dont forget to mention that the power diference between a v1 and a v14 is less than 1% of the difference between a cp0 and a cp300...

I don't grind so V14 would take me about 28 days to level with questing, I have tried it and it takes me about a day to get a half a level because i don't have as much time as I used to to play right now.

I honestly doubt VR will ever be fully removed.

Why is lvling pointless.... You get champion points now. If there were no vet lvls at this point there would be absolutely no difference. Only armor and weaponry which you probably won't be able to use when you rejoin by then cause They will probably need An amount of champion points which you won't have if you don't play.

But now leveling from vet 1 to vet 14 will also level your Champion System. This in it self is worth it. Not to mention I would hope on removal of the vet system they would give something extra in it's place, may be more champion points?

If you think v1 to v14 feels endless... How About 0 CP to 3200 CP. Its 1000x The latter

That is true, however at V14 I can do all the end game stuff, at V1 I can't do much of anything so the cp may take longer but at least i will be able to enjoy the end game stuff with everyone else and not bore myself to death with these horrid quest zones that they have.

Then MMO's aren't for you.

I see. That I can't argue with. But still if they removed it you wouldn't be strong enough without the CP worth 14 vet lvls to play end game content.

I suggest start playing now and try to grind your way up to vet 6 collect CP and you will be able to go to craglorn.

Like stated before. No one expects vet ranks removed In less then 6 months. Sorry man

You level very fast then. I got to V1 on my main in July and she hit V14 at the end of December.

I really don't think it's essential to rush to V14, I just take my time having fun with my toons and they level eventually. Though my sorc got to V5 and she hasn't even really started Cadwell's Silver yet (just the starter islands of DC).

Nothing is going to happen until after the console release, so if it is not in 1.6, it is going to be a very long time before anything, June 9th I think console release, I do not expect to see the first dlc until august or later, just my own guess.. If vr ranks is keeping you from playing I am afraid it will be a long time.

pronkg

I meant grinding mobs btw not questing. Grinding mobs is way faster

I don't know if they will ever be going away, honestly. It would be totally strange if they removed VR levels just as the console people were getting there. They have to stick around for at least a year after console release, or it is just too quick a turnaround to make console people level through them and pull the rug out from under them if you will.

Agree. Especially now they develop way slower. Removing them is a massive process. I honestly don't expect it to ever happen as well.

I have a V14, a V8 and a V11, problems is I don't play on the EP side anymore because my main guild is on the AD side and I use a different class now. I have been through all the content twice and am just tired of the grind, I made it to V14, V8, and V11 before the changed the XP so I had to do it the old fashioned way unfortunately. It's just such a long haul that I don't want to do it all over again. Maybe when the consoles come out and I play on my PS4 it will be more fun.

If you sit out now and wait for vr removal, you will be waiting until at least fall to play, if they even do it then since there is now no ETA on phase four of the roll-out, if in fact they ever do complete it at all.

I get that you don't want to quest anymore but at this point it is your only option for the game if you intend to keep playing and actually GET IN to end game in the first place. V1-14 presents you with the entirety of Cadwell's lines and also Craglorn quests. As you level you will gain Champion Points which will keep you reasonably on track for power gains by the time you get the zones finished. The most xp you can earn right now for the Champion Points you will need actually IS through questing in PvE due to the fact the nerfed grinding, mob xp, and you will not get much in Cyrodill either unless you are uber efficient at offing other players.

Once you are actually AT vr14 there isn't anything left to earn Champion Points with other than doing daily Undaunted repeatables, Trials, and then Cyrodill since we have no new content zones and end game offers naught else. If you do not have sufficient CPs earned you will likely not get into much of anything since other players will have blasted ahead of you in power levels.

Honest question. Why are you even playing an MMO if you don't like leveling at all? That is the core feature of MMOs. They put hurdles in the game to slow you down to keep on playing and paying.

So, which is it?

Xeniph

This question was addressed in a Friday Live show, early February I believe.

Basically Nick said Vet levels are not leaving until sometime after July, console release.

In all honesty, if you enjoy the game, playing would benefit you more than waiting would. Even if it takes you months to achieve V14, due to gaining CP.

And hey, you have it a lot better than most V14's who have already completed Silver/Gold. At least you don't have to grind for you're CP unless you choose to.

You made it from V1 to V14, V8, and V11 in less than an hour?! you have No Reason to complain that the vet leveling is a grin and a waste of time once they remove vet ranks.. you are the worlds fastest leveler!! I need your secret!!
