What's everyone's problem with VR? I'm enjoying playing through the other alliances (VR7, am DC, have finished AD, and just finished Stonefalls in EP). Aside from ZOS continually changing things with it (lowering my stats is the problem I have most), once I adjust to whatever they changed, I can level just fine solo. I need help on the world bosses, dolmens, and public dungeons, but otherwise I can solo everything. I don't really find it harder than lvls 1-50 solo. So I don't see what the big fuss is and why it needs changing. I wish they would just leave it alone for a while.

Actually, add new content as an alternative but keep the repeated faction zones too.

Zen already said they will remove the VR ranks and add the champ ranks. Everyone will be lvl 50.

They should still leave those zone open for those that dont want to make alts but still want to experience those zones ofc.

PS: it is actually quite funny that you bring up craglorn , im a solo player , craglorn is 100% useless to me , hell i have 0 skyshards/quests ... of that region.

Had to go out of my way and get the 2 last VR ranks in cyro , so yeah , there are ways for everyone.

VR are fine for me. The system itself isn't very different from a classic levelling and I appreciate the gradually increase of the difficulty. Maybe they should have give 100 levels so people wouldn't have noticed any differences and wouldn't have make all this noise about vr.
The only problem I have with this Vr thing is the immersion/RP killing of working for other factions who are ignoring that the big bad guy has been defeated.
There are a lot of ideas to change that, for exemple the devs could write 2 versions of each quest (dialogs at least and enemy names for exemple). One for veteran, one for non veteran.
Another idea would be to distillate the main quest in all faction maps, basically multiply the duration per 3 and when the main quest is done give the player the choice to spawn or not in instances without anchor and all the stuff linked to the main quest (with a checkbox or something).
In addition to that, they could give to the player the choice of a neutral way (the witcher style), like "I'll not help all those kings in their wars, I have to get my soul back" or after you choose who you want to help the other will not speak to you, so no more semi-main quests faction related for all 3 alliances. You could make some of their quest but at some point you will have to do some choice. Maybe after the 2 or 3 first maps of a faction. So you could do the beginning of each one as before with your vr etc and see who you prefer during the game instead of in the main menu and choose whenever you want. Rerolling to explore new quests/content would then have sense.
As they have a working instancing system, that could work.
Those are some thinkings and ideas to remove the artificial wall between vr and non vr from a "immersion" perspective.

ZOS should erase VR ranks from existence. So not even VR 1 - 2 nonsense. Just no VR period.


Lvl, 50 is end all. Balance game around that level, Balance achieved. Horizontal progression.

They already have plans that they're implementing. Unless this changed, they're getting rid of Vet lvls, everybody is going to be lvl 50, with post 50 xp going to increase champion lvls. Those then are used to spend points on other stuff. Like Bliz did in Diablo 3.

So I think the 1-10 zones will become one of the ways you could gain points. I think the goal would be, you can either do story quests, or group content, or pvp, or dungeons/trials depending on what you feel like.

Good. I want to save the other faction zones for my alts, not have to do them each on a single character.

I like how it is.
I have no intention of playing another faction. There fore it is nice to play their Quests.

make every zone from the other 2 open as soon as u finish main quest (no gold or silver cadwell) and if possible make the monsters in each area level to your character (might be complicated)

You can keep Cadwell's Silver and Gold as a measure of progression, but still change the requirement for getting into the third alliance territory.

I sure as hell, don't want to level in PVP that is a stupid idea...sheesh. Don't FORCE players that don't like to playing PvP to this alternative. Where is the choice of play how you want, make your character the way you want. There would be no choices but do PvP grind...I hate to burst all the PvPer's bubbles, but there ARE community of NON-PvP players.

what about: none of the above? I think veteran ranks should be removed in a sense that you should level up always at the same speed (just get more levels). Craglorn would be no exception to the rule.
I like the idea of traveling to other factions territories with the same character, removing that would be a loss of freedom. Skipping to VR 10 is pointless, where is the fun in that? and leveling up only by grinding and doing PvP sounds pretty boring...
