Whats the point

Linkrunner · July 2015

In playing this game before they remove vet ranks? I have 2-V14s if I get them to V16 and get the best armor in the game and 3-6 months from now I'm back at level 50. What's going to happen, is my armor going back to level 50? What about potions and provisioning? Somebody that has a level 50 character will be just as good as my V16 once they remove vet ranks? They said champion will be the leveling system after vet ranks are gone, how will content be scaled? Someone with 300 champion is way better than someone with 30 champion. I would just like to know where this game is headed so I can keep playing or take a break until the vet ranks get sorted out. Or just leave vet ranks in, or just change the name to level 51. No MMO has ever just said level 50 is the end, they would have lost players.

Good point and why a lot of us have stopped supporting and playing the game. Plus they have bots running around in all areas now. They have one new one that can't be detected which I submitted to support so they could find a way to stop it.

Just more cons on not playing the game right now than playing and supporting it. Sad really.

Yea, I agree. So, I have 2 v14's, and I can work them up to v16, only to have those stripped away, and all other vet ranks stripped away leaving me at lvl 50, and as I understand it, never to have any higher levels? So...all new content forever more will be lvl 50? or scaling to lower levels? What would dungeons and new zones scale on? Champion points??? Max armor in the game gonna be lvl 50? Forever? And what about crafting??? Gonna do away with all vet mats, actually reducing the crafting options? I don't know...seems weird to me. I've played a few MMO's in my time, Everquest, LOTRO, WOW, etc. ..never played one that just stopped leveling. I'm used to big expansions, (not limited to 1 zone at a time every so often..) and level caps rising with each expansion, alternate leveling mechanics such as weapons, mounts, soldiers or mercs....etc.

I been here since beta, and I keep hoping this is gonna be a great game, but I don't know...this most recent, "Hey, here's a couple more levels you can get to, so you can get that sweet new scaled v16 group dungeon sets, but we're gonna take all that crap away in a few months..." or nerf it...or..well, what the hell IS gonna happen to it??? Yea, I'm loosing interest real fast. A little more info would be great. Never seen such a secretive bunch.

Hey if you guys have a way to yank the VR system out from under people's feet without horribly breaking everything then post about it.

Under the current conditions, you can expect the removal of the VR system to be one of two things. They simply strip the VR ranks and convert everything to straight experience and either raise the cap or convert all equipment requirements into Champion Points.

The former is the direction I feel they will go, since we have attribute and skill points tied into the VR system, as well as a variety of achievements/trophies. Since 1 VR rank is 1 million experience, we could easily see the cap going to 64 under the current conditions. But that will change with Update 7 (the exp requirement). But I don't foresee them removing the attribute or skill points, so this feels like the easiest method to removing the Veteran Rank system. They could easily introduce 4 more level and make the new cap 70 (since we'll be 66 in Update 7 under this impression).

The Champion System rules would be a lot different since they are account bound. The cap would be 50, but other systems previously bound to the VR system would need to check CP. This could mean you level all characters at once after cap. It's an interesting concept. It would mean you lose no time playing one character over the other once capped. Since other than class changes, you gain no new story details by replaying a new character.

Either way, I think NOT PLAYING over PLAYING is foolish based solely on the removal of the VR system. Nothing is going to be lost. It's very unlikely that Cadwell's Silver and Gold will be going away since they technically triple your gameplay hours on story/questing. The only thing attached to the VR system are those attribute and skill points. Equipment will definitely scale to something beyond level 50.

Obviously they don't, that's why VR is getting raised and not removed with IC

DEATH TO VET RANKS!!!!!

What's the point on clicking threads with atrocious subject lines that don't shed any light on the content of the post? I have no clue so stop bringing it up!

I hope they never remove the vet ranks =D

Hey that's why I've stopped (at least for now). I don't even have a Vet 14 character, but as Its already a pain to rank up once you've hit Vet Ranks, I can't stand Silver and Gold (seeing as I already have characters in every faction) and I'm not yet high of ranked to do real end game content or compete properly in pvp. To top it all off, I don't even know what direction the game is headed in, so why bother? I legitimately love this game, and the Elder Scrolls universe, but I can't abide investing all that time for so little pay off. As it is, I certainly see no reason messing with Vet Ranks until they make leveling them after (even though its just comes with even more Vet Ranks)

"Sigh"

I don't know what to do guys....

They're probably waiting to hire Tim Draper as a consultant. You know, the genius mind behind:
