✭Actually, it isn't. They said that they're replacing veteran ranks with champion points and 50 will be the max level.☠ Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured? ☠

Pretty much this.
The screen might show VR15 gear. But they said the were going to dump the VR system in favor of champion system...
Unless they plan to increase VR lvls some more BEFORE we get to the champion system,Atreyu - VR14 - DK8 -

couchkyle25_ESO✭✭✭Then why are they adding Season Gear that has no levels at all? They said the whole point was so that your gear mattered, not your level. Now theres no way they'll be letting ppl UNDER lvl 50 run in Trials. So what is the purpose of this system if they simply nerf everyone down to 50? Theres no need for Season Gear in that case. The whole point was so that you dont have to be say, Vet12 to be able to keep up with the Gear chase. You hit lvl 50, buy Season Gear and your in Trial raids with your higher ranked buddies. That was the entire point of this announced system.Edited by couchkyle25_ESO on August 7, 2014 3:51AM2 -
Nicky_W✭✭✭There seems to be a lot of misinformation flying around here.
Nowhere , and I mean nowhere have they said that Veteran Ranks are going anywhere.
What they have said is that Veteran Points are being replaced with Experience points.
VP --- > XP.
There will still be V1-V12 and beyond. That is not changing.
All that is essentially changing is the way in which you earn those ranks, in addition to the champion system 'passives' as I call them.Edited by Nicky_W on August 7, 2014 4:20AM16 -

This. They are not getting rid of VR... and Vet Rank will increase, I'm sure with the next "adventure zone."4 -
GFBStarWars✭✭✭dev said that veteran rank will probably increase prior to the champion change (all player at veteran rank are at level 50, you don't get new attribute point after reaching vr1/50)
No idea if veteran rank will be removed from the game or will just coexist with new system.2 -

Nothing new really, a VR14 item (or potion or something) was found a long time ago and the patch notes refer to VR14 having been in group finder.someone just liked a veteran 15 armor and weapon in zone chat.

Korozenn✭✭✭✭VP -> XP
Veteran Ranks are still going to exist, and more will be added in the future, just as @phunkeymonkehb16_ESO stated, the system of earning said ranks is going to change in a later update from having to earn Veteran Points to rank up to Experience Points. This will allow people to approach leveling their Veteran Ranks much more like they do with their normal Levels 1-50 progression and reduce both the grinding and confusion with that current system in place as a result of that change.
It will thusly be easier to gain experience and level through your Veteran Ranks, thusly making the game more accessible to casual players of ESO.
Champion Points System
When the Champion Points system is released, all of your Experience Points earned that are leftover from the overhaul from VP to XP will go towards the new Champion Point system.
You earn Champion Points after reaching Level 50, and it makes Veteran content more rewarding as a result. This encourages users to play more on characters they've already maxed as well as other characters too as the Champion Points earned are account-wide and can be used for any character you have. These points will go towards passives for the Warrior, Mage, and Thief constellations a la Skyrim-like Perks that are for that specific character.
To clarify, when you pass Level 50, you start earning Champion Points while in your Veteran Ranks. Points are handled account-wide, meaning you could spend them on other characters on your account as well, which allows for deeper character customization and progression.
For instance, if you spend your only 3 Champion Points earned so far for one character, you cannot go on another character and spend those same 3 CP as they've already been used by one of the other characters on your account.
Champion Gear, which is the Season-Specific Gear everyone here keeps talking about, does not have a level-requirement but will be very hard to acquire. That gear will be implemented in the Champion System, and ZeniMax has not gone into details with how that will be handled just yet.

Gear do have levels. You just will no longer able to see them, and gear will have no level limitation.
For example, all Tier 2 Trial gear or Elite PVP gear avaible only thru store are actualy VR13 quality.
However this picture are clearly just trolling. 250 damage with just VR15 weapon ? Sure sure

Pail Sage said they are keeping vet ranks, but you earn them with champion points, not vet points.
See video below at 42 mins

Interviewer: Whats going to happen to gear thats above level 50 the vet rank gear, how are people going to obtain that gear or is it all being set to 50?
Paul: When we take away Veteran points, that's not going to take away veteran ranks, its just that veteran points are being associated with normal experience now, so you will gain veteran ranks through experience, it wont affect the itemisation.

God some of you people in this tread. No where have the said VR ranks are going anywhere, champion points are totally different.6 -

✭✭Damn you ESO... I thought this game might not have been another gear grind fest... sigh.
Why even bother crafting nice gear if I have to scrap it in a couple months anyway? I guess I'll just have to farm my ass off for more mats. (assuming crafting will even be able to keep up with the "season" gear...)6 -
Anastasia✭✭✭✭I still don't understand the difference between XP and VP, or how relabelling VP to XP will make levelling in VR any different.
It is to streamline what the experience gains are called, and will allow for players to strengthen their characters in a broad spectrum as they level -- might think of it as TESO's version of AA points in EQ II or etc.
I'm sure though the perks will be fairly small incrementally, after a year or so those who have been with the game the longest/played the most will have characters that are really interesting and effective.

Looks like a pretty traditional feature PvE feature for MMO's tbh. This is Zeni's way of making it fresh and a little different.
Fact remains that it will enhance your character's strength and/or effectiveness as you progress after a decent period of time accruing those Champion points. Something for you to look forward to, plan and attain.

Yeah I know its kind of traditional in one way... still doesnt change the fact its annoying they will up the max lvl for the second time since release now (first from v10 to v12 and now to v15). Good for all that like that "progress" of the game, I am not impressed by it at all. I think its very lame.8 -

Yes. that is very much a big part of the issue. Second part is that its boring as hell to chase those vet ranks.4
