ZoS - Talk to us about VET RANK REMOVAL

blabafat

As you probably know, Veteran ranks are being taken out in the Dark Brotherhood Patch.

We don't exactly know how it's going to work. I know that ZoS has briefly touched on how the gear would be (in some previous stream or something), but it's not enough information.


I think it's extremely important for them to communicate what is going on. I know that more information is coming, and there will be a PTS eventually etc etc. However, don't be hesitant ZoS. We don't want another disaster. Talk to us.

There is a search box in the upper right, you can find about 15 threads on this already. If ZOS has not responded in any of them up to this point, I would not expect one here. My guess is they are still working it out to some degree and don't want to leak out anything in case they decide to change something before going final.

Im pretty sure set pieces will be based off champion points. Like instead of a v16 piece it requires you have 450 CP.

Which is interesting. I would have to ask if there will be battle level for level 50 players with yielding under the CP Cap?

This is from the Dark Brotherhood: First Look page.

Everyone is busy until next week. Be patient.

That would suck, I have V16 gold staves and my CP is like 250. Unless that was just a for-instance you gave.

It would be nice to know what they are going to do just so we could plan ahead. Especially for those who have multiple characters.

One thing I would really like them to consider is WoW's Valor system to upgrade drop gear to a high cp level. The way it works is once a week you clear each of the 5 man instances "vet" version and the easy lfr version of the raids (like Hella easy mode use group finder) upon completion you get Valor. I think it was each dungeon was 5 Valor and it took 20 Valor to upgrade the gear 10 ilvl, each item could only be upgraded twice. So using eso let's say you want to use your v12 warlock again. The first upgrade would get you to cp gear equivalent to v14 and the second to v16.

That makes v12 gear relevant but It would be nice to be able to upgrade the cp level of other sets like soulshine, Lord, morag tong etc etc. It also gives people a reason once a week to run things they otherwise wouldn't have.

Their previous communications on this indicated that no one will suddenly find themselves unable to use the gear they had equipped before the change - CP will be given to people with V16 characters to make sure that won't happen. More details will be coming on that soon I hope.

The Uninvited

They already confirmed earlier that gear will be based off champion points and that current V16 gear would require 160 CP. They also said that anyone with a V16 character that doesn't have 160 CP yet will be given CP up to 160 to make sure that you are still able to wear the gear that you have today.

They've said before that they will give an X ammount of CP (don't remember the exact number) for each VR you have. This will be done once per account and based on your Max VR character. With this, you'll be garanteed to be able to wear your current gear once they remove VR.

I don't think OP is talking how many CPs we get for our VRs. There's many, many more important questions that we have no idea about.

1) How are any mobs over lvl 49 scaled? Zones, normal dungeons, vet dungeons, trials, etc.

2) What happens to all of the existing gear? Stats? Requirements? Where do they drop?

3) What happens to all of the v1-v14 crafting mats?

4) If v16 = 160cp, are there gear requirements over 160cp? How high do they go? Does crafted gear stop at 160cp, and will it be on par with a dropped piece of 400cp gear?

5) etc.

idk

Zos will obviously explain this in due time. Finishing touches are being worked on at this point (which is normal) and we will see something on the test server when it's up.

OBVIOUSLY, since their communication is always so freaking spot on perfect.

I don't think op is demanding information.

Just think he wants zos to start communication early so we can feedback and express our thoughts so we don't end up with a *** when it goes live.

I'm with OP.
