That being said, the numbers that are currently on PTS are too low and will be updated in next week’s PTS build. The new numbers will be:
- The top 5 AP earners worldwide, over the past 8 weeks are averaging 32k AP/hour. This means it takes roughly 212 hours of PvP to reach rank 10 in the skill lines for them.
- Over the past 8 weeks, the average PvP player earns ~10k AP/day. This means it takes roughly 692 days of PvP for them to reach rank 10 in the skill lines.
- Rank 2 – 700
- Rank 3 – 8,000
- Rank 4 – 38,000
- Rank 5 – 98,000
- Rank 6 – 188,000
- Rank 7 – 308,000
- Rank 8 – 488,000
- Rank 9 – 758,000
- Rank 10 – 1,158,000
(Note: this is the cumulative AP, so to reach rank 10 you need to earn 1,158,000 AP)
With these changes the “Top 5” group will be able to unlock all AvA skills in roughly 36 hours, while the average player will take roughly 116 days. It’s still a long haul effort for the average player, but it’s at least in the realm of possible for them now.
Also, while I’m on the topic of AP earning, we used this same data to help set the AP cost for the items that Adhazabi Aba-daro sells. (Cyrodiil rare item merchant) The “Top 5” group will be able to earn 200k AP in about 6 hours, while the average player will take about 20 days.
Let me translate:
CN AP Gains so crazy! At least 2, maybe 4 of those I'm betting are my team :-)

The largest tick i received nonvet was 6k, and if your thinking 'hey did everyone run off' yes, yes they did. Also lower ranks award less ap I believe. So there will be a difference in accumlation between vet and nonvet.
I had Krog in nonvet from 10 to level 43, played most nights, then had to stop to accumlate skillpoints. Literally wasnt out of Daggerfall at 43. He's now vr9 finishing silver/gold (maybe) before he healbots/meatshields again.
@Cuyler They will be desynced from Alliance Ranks if this goes through as it is. Alliance Ranks are keeping the same progression they've always had, and if the skill ranks go through like this they will be popping up randomly throughout the first 14 ranks. What I would much prefer though is to keep the skill ranks tied to the Alliance Ranks, just unlocking them at earlier ranks, so that it's easy to say, for example, "Rank 6 unlocks at Legionary II", rather than the current proposal which says "Rank 6 unlocks somewhere in the middle of Legionary I, kinda just over half way through but not quite two thirds". Keeping the values similar to Rich's proposal, this is what I would like to see:Great stuff ZOS_RichLambert! This is going to bring a lot of people back to PvP. Maybe de sync the skill lines from AvA ranks though. That way hard core PvPrs like @Crown will still have their titles for achievement while the skills are more accessible to all.
ZOS_RichLambert If these are the sort of numbers you want to go for, can't you at least line them up with Alliance Ranks?
- Rank 2 – 700 (AR 1, Volunteer I)
- Rank 3 – 8,000 (AR 3, Rrcruit I)
- Rank 4 – 48,000 (AR 5, Tyro I)
- Rank 5 – 88,000 (AR 6, Tyro II)
- Rank 6 – 224,000 (AR 8, Legionary II)
- Rank 7 – 326,400 (AR 9, Veteran I)
- Rank 8 – 456,000 (AR 10, Veteran II)
- Rank 9 – 809,600 (AR 12, Corporal II)
- Rank 10 – 1,310,400 (AR 14, Sergeant II), or 1,040,000 (AR 13, Sergeant I)
i like that change, lvling ava skill line on 8 chars takes forever on live

I have to ask is this only PC players or Consoles players as well?If Consoles players are added to this value than that's why it's so low most consoles players really don't know how to make AP.So the numbers are screwed and unreliable here.Personally am still under the view that this list is way to low and needs to be adjusted.ZOS_RichLambert wrote: »Some quick notes as to why we’re making the changes to the AP required for the Assault/Support skill lines:We want these skill lines to be a lot more accessible than what I noted above.

I would be completely baffled if someone couldn't make 10k ap in a day is what I'm saying. I know not everyone is good at getting ap, though every emp push I did was solo & I know a few other people that do the same thing.
I don't think it's about the number of people with you, it's still more so learning the best ways to get ap and what campaigns to play in. You can run in a 24 man group everyday but have that one guy owning you in ap gains every campaign.

It's an average. Average player maybe doesn't pvp every day. Average player probably dies alot and needs to waste time traveling. A lot might not join a group but still follow the zerg around and get 9 AP off a kill. Many might not know about d-ticks, have resorces for wall repairs or rezs, or might not even know about the bounty quests. A player like this is lucky to make 5k an hour. And maybe, there are alot of these players out there.

They said average pvp player , that's different than saying average player, that's like adding me to the results of a pve survey which I rarely play. But my point still stands, I refuse to believe anyone is getting 10k in a day. You can't really consider those numbers when making significant changes, that doesn't sound like a PVP player or someone that plays pvp for over an hr.
This change really seems like it was made because of the pve players that rarely play pvp but want pvp skills lol

You're basically into a "no true Scotsman" fallacy here. "No true PvPer would make less than 10k AP a day because true PvPers make more than that." I mayself am barely up to 20k a day on average, it is not out of the relm of possibilities.

2-3 hours PvP most days, longer on my days off, but not all days. (Those 0s factor into my average by the way.) As do the final days of the last campaign when the other alliances gave up and I couldn't find any fights. Azura's Star NA PC, I had just shy of 600k AP across 4 characters last cycle. That factors out to 20k a day, does it not?
My main is VR16, been in PvP since lvl 10 on 8 characters, my main's undaunted rank is 4, and his alliance skill rank is 8. I haven't even completed the main quest, and have been playing since launch. My main has over 42 days of play time, combine with my alts, I average about 3 hours of play a day since launch.
I am regularly in the top 10% rewards at the end of a campaign. I made 100k in a week on a level 20 who fights without a weapon using punches. I can do that because I am better than most pvpers.

The population of PVP is split between cyrodil and IC, 10K AP a day would be more than what the average person spending 3 or 4 hours in the sewers/IC is likely to be logging off with

With these changes the “Top 5” group will be able to unlock all AvA skills in roughly 36 hours, while the average player will take roughly 116 days. It’s still a long haul effort for the average player, but it’s at least in the realm of possible for them now.
Also, while I’m on the topic of AP earning, we used this same data to help set the AP cost for the items that Adhazabi Aba-daro sells. (Cyrodiil rare item merchant) The “Top 5” group will be able to earn 200k AP in about 6 hours, while the average player will take about 20 days.

This means it takes roughly 692 days of PvP for them to reach rank 10 in the skill lines.
Totally called this is what the average is two months ago.

I would be completely baffled if someone couldn't make 10k ap in a day is what I'm saying. I know not everyone is good at getting ap, though every emp push I did was solo & I know a few other people that do the same thing.
I don't think it's about the number of people with you, it's still more so learning the best ways to get ap and what campaigns to play in. You can run in a 24 man group everyday but have that one guy owning you in ap gains every campaign.
It's an average. Average player maybe doesn't pvp every day. Average player probably dies alot and needs to waste time traveling. A lot might not join a group but still follow the zerg around and get 9 AP off a kill. Many might not know about d-ticks, have resorces for wall repairs or rezs, or might not even know about the bounty quests. A player like this is lucky to make 5k an hour. And maybe, there are alot of these players out there.
They said average pvp player , that's different than saying average player, that's like adding me to the results of a pve survey which I rarely play. But my point still stands, I refuse to believe anyone is getting 10k in a day. You can't really consider those numbers when making significant changes, that doesn't sound like a PVP player or someone that plays pvp for over an hr.
This change really seems like it was made because of the pve players that rarely play pvp but want pvp skills lol
You're basically into a "no true Scotsman" fallacy here. "No true PvPer would make less than 10k AP a day because true PvPers make more than that." I mayself am barely up to 20k a day on average, it is not out of the relm of possibilities.
You're not going to sit here and convince me you're making 10k or 20k ap a day seriously playing or casually playing. How long do you play an hr?
2-3 hours PvP most days, longer on my days off, but not all days. (Those 0s factor into my average by the way.) As do the final days of the last campaign when the other alliances gave up and I couldn't find any fights. Azura's Star NA PC, I had just shy of 600k AP across 4 characters last cycle. That factors out to 20k a day, does it not?
My main is VR16, been in PvP since lvl 10 on 8 characters, my main's undaunted rank is 4, and his alliance skill rank is 8. I haven't even completed the main quest, and have been playing since launch. My main has over 42 days of play time, combine with my alts, I average about 3 hours of play a day since launch.
I am regularly in the top 10% rewards at the end of a campaign. I made 100k in a week on a level 20 who fights without a weapon using punches. I can do that because I am better than most pvpers.
I've played with multiple characters during a campaign and got more than that casually. Though you're just deflecting & bringing extra stuff into play, pretty sure I was talking about one character not 7 alts.
And you don't have a better idea, you have a better idea of how it is on PC na, which is a lower population than the platform I play on. If you were to join the one I play on you definitely wouldn't be in the top 10 percent with just 600k ap, I'm sure that's a 30 day as well on na PC? [snip]
Even if what you say is true between those characters you still should have more than 10k-20k ap in 3hrs, if you want to switch between alts that's on you but only making 20k ap overall is terrible.
And since ZOS didn't bring up alts I wouldn't even bring that up but even if they did through 3hrs you should have more than 20k ap.
