I am very VERY confused!? (Started VR1, GOT EVEN WEAKER?)

bassam3535

Ok so im mainly a pvp player. I enjoy it a ton. But as of today I've entered veteran rank 1, gotten myself some GREAT gear, upped my dps by about 200, and even got an ENTIRE purple armor set. (Im a dual wielding, dark elf dps btw, med armor) Ya ya, alls well, then I enter campaign (my same old campaign map) and theres a OUTSTANDING 500 OR SO QUEUE WAIT. Though thats not the problem im addressing, (even though its a HUGE problem itself) but, when i entered cyrodiil for the first time as a vet, my stats are EXACTLY the same except for a 5000 health boost. What happened to the 16000 magicka and stamina alongside the 27000 health? Why am i getting 21k health, 8k magicka, and 17k stamina???

So confused, i thought as a vet i would get stronger, not demolished by a simple 2 teaming lvl 35s that i could have easily crushed at lvl 49...

PS: Sorry for bad grammar and layout, currently on mobile.

Does this get better or am i going to have to stop playong pvp?

Battle leveling is coming soon to VRs too. Currently VR's are weaker than 1-50 lvl guys. I can kill some VR guys with only 2 shots, its been fun. As a matter of fact, I think I kill some.

You lost your nonvet battle level upon hitting VR1-- battle level boosted your stats to the higher levels you mention. So now what you have is your actual attributes and any you get from your gear (and food/drink as usual).

Great way to introduce us to the OUTSTANDING veteran rank...

I'm guessing you're coming from the non-vet server and into one of the vet servers... Well, you're now the bottom of the food chain. Again.

There's some sort of normalization that happens for non-vet players. I have no idea how it works, as I no longer PvP and never did with a non-VR character. By getting to VR1 you may have lost that normalization and have to fend for yourself (invest in the right stats, gear, enchantments, skills and food/pots).

Did you remember to physically TURN OFF "battle leveling" in your options menu?
I read a Dev Post, somewhere, about how it only boosts you for so long (To a certain character level, or stat values.), and then it actually makes your stats go down instead once you have passed that character level, or stat value level.
Try it with it off...if you didn't already.

In any case...Good Luck out there!

I didnt know you can turn off "battle leveling" off. I'll try it once i go online. Thx.

maybe against a fresh v1
versus a v14 ur screwed, ow my I slaughtered so many battle lvl'd players with my transfered v14s

@OP pre v1 u were boosted to something resembling end stats (but well not really) at v1 not anymore, so u better get ur grind on to v14

I don't think turning it off or on will make a diff. The game now sees you as a VR and will not boost your stats in Cyrodiil.

The way you can get it back is on a different character who is a nonvet level. :-)

I honestly wish there were "prestiges" opposed to "veteran ranks"

Ace_of_Destiny

I found it....
The best way to know when to use it (Have it ON.), and when to not use it (Have it OFF.).

Battle leveling can only be toggled on or off outside of Cyrodiil (for obvious exploit reasons while in PVP). If you want to see stat changes that Battle leveling does, you should zone out of Cyrodiil, take a screenshot of your stats in the Character panel, then zone back to Cyrodiil with the Battle Level option toggled on (in Options\Gameplay\combat) to see the stat differences.

From that point, you can choose if you want Battle leveling on or off, but in some cases stats will be higher or lower than your native stats you see with it off. EG. You may have higher Magicka with the Battle level buff on, but lower Armor if you just wear light armor all the time.

Most low vets I can take out in a couple spells but those level 36 DK's are mini emperors.

All I have to say to that is champion system. Those lvl 36 DK's probably have 7 v14
Alts and over 300 champion points on that lvl 36 DK. Game over for anyone else.
