Why No Skill Points for VR Level Advancement?

Giraffon · July 2014

So last night I'm in PvP and level my VR1 to VR2. Yes! Skill Point! ... Hey! Where's my Skill Point!?! No attributes either?!?

All I got was a pretty (but useless) costume mailed to me!

Why remove this perk after we hit VR? It doesn't make any sense.

VR content is end game and your advancement is not designed to give you any stat or skill points. I don't see this as an issue since everyone in game has 49 stat points by VR and you can get more than enough SP from sky shards and quests.

It's a way to go more horizontal on the progression. You have to hunt Skyshards to get skill points for more skills. They also don't have the attribute points they have the soft and hard caps so you can gain points towards how you actually play. Like your armor caps and what not. This will all be changed in a month or two with the introduction off champion levels.

I agree they should add them. We need more reward for leveling to improve our characters in veteran levels.

I think it is because they screwed up. They tried to make VR levels sort of half measures. I think their idea was VR levels aren't forced on you just something for you to do over time. Something to work towards. Which is a fine idea in a long term game for some minor advancement to come in the long term.

But then for whatever reason they decided VR levels should also have better equipment. And once you do that in this type of game VR content is no longer and optional long term goal, but something that has to be done now to play at the highest levels.

No, but you're getting your wish anyway. They're replacing VR in a few months.

You get skill points in VR for everything else that you would normally get skill points for at non-VR levels. Giving the extra skill point at each VR level makes more sense than not giving them.

I'm not sure this is even an opinion. It's more like...fact.

You have 300+ skill points already available, and the VR system is going to be gone in a few months. Do you really think this is worth complaining about?

You should have received the skill point when you leveled. You just don't receive attribute points when you hit VR levels. Trust me.. do your skyshard hunting and you will have more than enough skill points. I have 28 sitting unused for my V10 character.
