Well I've grinded my way to the max level. Other than Cyrodill and trials what is there to do?

Edit: let me be clear. I only grinded my way through the veteran ranks. I did that because crag grinding is 20x faster than questing.

    Do the end-game dailies and re-run dungeons/raids (aka. trials) endlessly . .it's an MMO that's not been out 4 months, what else do you expect to do if you're not into running alts?

    If you've grinded to VR12 rather than go through all the content, then go back now that you are VR12 and try for some completion.

    Plenty of skyshards to be had and skill points by finishing off quest lines.
    Been here since Feb 2014 - You'd think I'd be half reasonable at this game by now...

    grind gear! no... you can just get BIS made in like two minutes. Or make it yourself crafting is a joke in this game - no ingredient is rare. I guess you could improve your crafting skill by... logging out for a week or two.


    Walk around and twiddle your thumbs.

    Not sure what were you expecting? There are vet dungeons and trials that you can redo and redo. Not sure what you mean by you grinded your way to vet12 if this means brainlessly killing mobs in grind spots then you really do not care about the actual questing content.

    I've seen his posts in a lot of threads. He knows what to do.
    FYI - There is no such thing as 'night capping' in a world wide MMO.
    FYI - There was no paid Beta. When they launched the game the Beta was over, even if you don't think it was.
    FYI - It's B2P not F2P. There is a difference.
    FYI - It doesn't take any player skill to mash keys or buttons in this game. The ones that stay alive longer have the better internet connection and speed.
    FYI - The game is not broken, it still works. It just has 'bugs' that need to be fixed.
    Balance is a "Bad" thing.

    Example: There were hundreds of Jedi and only two Sith in Star Wars. The Jedi wanted, "Balance in the Force" and they got it. Now there are only two Jedi and two Sith.

    Balance is a "Bad" thing.

    Three months to reach level cap in a game as easy to play as this isn't 'rushing', comments like yours are simply insulting, which I expectg was your intent.

    Even with VR as it was, though it was a 'huge grind' in the context of what went before, it was far quicker to level through it than REAL grind-fest MMOs like EQ or even worse, Lineage, and that didn't require abusing Anomalies or the other XP/VP exploits and abuses ZOS have nerfed.

    I have 2 alts in VR12 and understand what might be your problem.

    My list of three activities that keep me active are:
    1. Cyrodill - still a lot fun especially if it is a big army against another big army. I really like there is always something unpredictable in this part of the game.
    2. Crafting - for your needs and for profit ;-)
    3. Achievements hunting - I guess there still a lot you can try to get. They will be more valuable once we have dyes.

    I really tried to like Trials but they are so repetitive - same team set-up, same route, same builds... and if I would like to play a timed-game I would go just for a racing game not Elder Scrolls.

    So you bypassed the content by exploiting and now your are complaining that there's no content???

    Yeah, everyone who's veteran rank 12 despite the game released 4 months ago clearly rushed it.
  • diamondeyethunderbow_ESO
    They pretty much did. If you're at max level in an MMO less than 6 months after release, either it's too easy to level, or you are playing too much. Don't be a content locust, and don't poopsock.

    As for being forced back into WoW, play EVE instead, between ESO sessions. It's physically impossible to ma your skills there, so you won't have the same problem.

    This game is stupid easy. We are approaching 4 months after release. There is no such thing as "rushing endgame" at this point.

    Cyrodil is the true end game as its ongoing, if you dont likenp pvp then you'll get bored.

    Trials are just there for the pve crowd to compete against one another i dont think the reward is that good, crafted armour is still better from what i can gather.
    Patch 1.2.3 nerfed the game....
    Zergballing wrecked pvp......

    Now waiting for Camelot Unchained!!

    Stop and smell the roses? If you've been grinding then you've likely missed out on a lot of the content and a lot of the fun in the process. Could start a new alt for PvE and actually pay attention to, and enjoy, the great stories and voice acting.

    Yes it is - and that's our, the community's, fault. ZOS tried to make VR content challenging, but a vocal group of forum whiners cried so much they pushed the easy button for us.

    I didn't rush. I actually took my time... Like a lot. The leveling experience was GREAT imo. Never had more fun while leveling. I guess now I'm starting to see how people get bored with this game. I'm still looking forward to future updates.

    I think that's case-in-point right now. The quest content and the levelling experience is great, but once you reach endgame, that's it, end of the game (clue's in the name). It's the end of the good storylines (which Elder Scrolls thrives on) and all that's left is repeatable stuff where the "story" falls flat and makes no sense.

    I reached V12 a few days ago, not through grinding but hours and hours of questing (30+ days worth) and now I have come to that point where I ask myself what else is there, I have completed all the Veteran Dungeons (except crypt of hearts) and now doing Trials with my Guild every few days. For now I will continue to help others, get some Armour Sets and finish my traits, as well as finish the Trials hopefully and then continue with pvp. ESO is a great game and a mammoth for this early stage since release, August looks to be an interesting Update as well.

    Congrats on VR12. I felt the way you did at 49

    Sure there are VR encounters but I'm more of the raid and dungeon runner for gear type.

    Updates 4&5 may be a good time but after July I'll take 30-60 days off

    This is why I am not rushing to v12, nor did I finish the v10 quests.

    I will be out of things to do.
