Have the changes gone live? I have downloaded the patch and am playing at the moment but notice no difference.

Are you on the EU server?

Yes

Then, as usual, your maintenance will be happening later today (or early tomorrow... I'm never sure about the time differences between the US and Europe). So no changes would have gone live for you yet.

Ahh ok. Thanks for the info

Leveling: This has been a great debate among players, and I assume will continue to be so. If everyone hit level 50 and that was it, then people would complain there is too little content in the game, but to go to v12, it takes too long to level, so either way, you can’t please everyone. The problem is not with the time in leveling, it’s great that you can play all three factions and master one character in game, in my opinion. The problem then falls on perception, meaning that at 50 there was a sense of accomplishment that you’re done, and thinking only 12 more levels to go. This seems easy enough, until you realize after doing the next two starter islands and first zone, you are now only veteran 2, it then seems like it will take a year to reach veteran 12. The simple solution would be to change how the levels work. For example if at the start of the game I had to reach level 85 to be at the cap, yes it would seem like a lot of levels; however, I would be shooting for 85 not 50, which in turns means I am not leaving the game when I realize that getting to v12 is 2/3s longer than getting to 50(50 just means I’m closer to 85, all expectations are now gone at that level). It is all in how people look at the game, we have seen a lot of players who enjoy the game, but can’t seem to push through the veteran levels because they are no longer gaining levels every so often and start to see it as an endless grind.

I thought these changes were supposed to go live today? Don't see them in the notes

"The Elder Scrolls Online v1.2.5 is an incremental patch and addresses many issues with quests, UI, and gameplay. We have also introduced some changes to the Veteran system to make it more solo-friendly."
