I can't actually log into the game right now because of the Content Write Error, and the general shoddiness of the launcher, but...

With the removal of the Vet Ranks, and the effective removal of the level cap, for the purposes of gaining XP...

What happens to players who are above 210CP, but still haven't gotten above 501 once this goes live?

At present, you'll always get full XP credit for finishing VR16 content. You hit the level cap, and continue to gain full XP towards your next CR from there on.

After this goes live, your CR will (eventually) apply a 70% XP penalty to the CR160 content. It will be the stealth nerf Craglorn took when the cap was moved from VR14 to VR16 all over again.

Can anyone who has actually gotten access to the server confirm if this is or isn't the case, please?

    When I went to Cadwell Gold zones, everything was CP160. I still got normal xp even with 400 CPs.

    What I actually wonder is a new player with no CP, gets to Level 50 and goes to Silver/Gold, will they have to fight CP160 creatures at CP1. Seems like that could be a bit rough.

    Okay, that's good to hear.

    I suspect silver will start them against CR10 enemies, and then work up to CR50, while Gold will start at 60 and go to 100. Which, yeah, that will still be rough, but not nearly as bad as it could be. Also, unless I misread what they posted, hitting 50 will instantly pay out with 10 CP now. So if they stay where they're supposed to be, the introduction to endgame content shouldn't be that bad.

    But, if you've got access, you can check what the CR is for enemies in silver zones.

    Right now everything even lvl 50 stuff in coldharbour is giving normal xp, so no where is the nerf to xp happening right now.

    Went to a few zones, this is what I found.

    Using vet rank zone instead of the zone name. V1 = Stonefalls for an AD player (1st zone in silver)

    V1 = C40
    V2 = C70
    V3 = C100
    V4 = C120
    V5 = C150

    All gold zones
    V6 = C160
    V10 = C160

    At C401 I got xp killing stuff in every zone.

    Weird. What's supposed to be happening is:

    • Experience gain rules will continue to function as they did for Veteran Ranks:
      • Mobs 40 Champion Points below your level will grant 75% of their normal XP.
      • Mobs 50 or more Champion Points below your level will grant 30% of their normal XP.
    (From the Patch Notes thread).

    But your level is not CP 501 is CP 160.

    My opinions and posts are mostly on a PvE setting.

    I'm more interested in what will happen to the player who already has a vr16 character which has finished practically all the content in the game.
    If that player then makes a new character, the moment they hit level 50, and enter the Silver zones, they will already be over 50cp higher than the enemies in those zones.
    Currently, you can get full XP from the Silver zones while you are the right veteran rank, no matter what your CR is.
    This could mean players that have already finished all the content on eight separate characters would have gained much more XP total than another player attempting to do the same thing after this update.
