Veteran Overland Instances

Rittings

How difficult would it be to create Veteran versions of all the overland areas?? @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_RichLambert ??

So only CP toons could enter those areas, the bosses and adds would be ramped up to be more challenging (still doable solo for the most part, maybe not the world bosses, but certainly the mobs). Increased XP/loot (loot could be guaranteed purple with rare chances of gold etc)... and the nodes could be of higher value... it would also mean that bots would less likely appear in such instances, which would mean better performance for invested players (ACTUAL players)... and it would add another level of challenge for your long-term consumers...

You could add so much more time to the game for older players too... by simply making veteran achievements and resetting all the quests to have veteran versions of them etc. It would add absolutely TONS of content for old players to return to and enjoy not only the nostalgia of doing those quests again, but actually being challenged when doing them rather than the "go fetch a rock... no a bigger rock" kind of quests.

YES PLEASE! I've been wanting this for years

Love your ideas, they seem pretty cool. Hopefully something similar would be in the quarter 4 feature seeing it suppose to address veteran players.

Going to laugh quite hard if this brings back Vet Ranks VR16 goon squad

Agree with OP though, such a thing would compel me to actually PvE a bit, something I haven't consistently done since about 2015-2016

There is a pinned thread for this topic. Rich Lambert already stated in an interview that was acknowledged in that thread that there are no major changes planned for overland difficulty.

Also, ALL players are ACTUAL players and are invested in the activities they enjoy. No one playstyle is any more valid than another.

Not happy about increased rewards, especially node drops. What's to say there wasn't a gang of you roaming the land? Or you were using a companion? You shouldn't get any increase if you use any assistance. Indeed, why should a vet get an increase for doing something at their elite level, compared to a noob doing it at their level, when they experience the same difficulty?

Also, when you get to the level where a vet overland makes sense, even purple rewards aren't an incentive. Even with today's rewards I will deconstruct all the blue and purple drops I get (particularly jewellery). I'm not that interested in overland gear, and if I got gold jewellery drops I'd definitely deconstruct those!

But this shouldn't matter, because people asking for vet overland usually say they only want it for the difficulty....

Yeah, but extra rewards soon come into the equation "otherwise why would I bother?"

I never understood why people want this.

When I do my delve/world boss dailies, I want to get them done as fast as possible. Who wants to make it take longer?
