If you are currently not at end game, all you have to look forward to is the exact last tier of content released, because there is no reason to do the previous ones.
By the time you level up to VR14 (or whatever the max is at the time), you won't be able to do Aetherian Archive or Hel Ra Citadel because everyone would have moved on.

All the boo hoo, I will need new gear is comical, how boring would an mporg be if you played it 3-4 months then never needed to get new gear till day servers shut.
Im sorry but the above is why game developers no longer need to try. People are happy to just do the same stuff over and over. I guess power to you if you enjoy it.
I long for a game that allows for me to develop my characters in specific ways and then once i reach a point be allowed to enjoy all elements of the game and grow via skill and challenge and not based on the numbers and gear that are associated to my character.
Why can't goals be based on achievements, creation and competition ? I think they are way more rewarding that always striving for another number next to my name or some gear that the only real value are, yes numbers.
Simplify the numbers, complicate the challenge and competition. You also create balance as well but who wants a game to be balanced when all people actually want is to find easy mode.
Edited by Rammi on August 20, 2014 9:50PMThe Champion System should have rewarded Champion Points based off of achievements and feats earned through excelling at end game content not grinding your life away vs mobs in order to stay competitive. This system is uncreative and is a great example of extremely lazy system design. Yes, you should be embarrassed1 -

The bosses aren't considered top level, they always drop up to one below.

Because it's the same thing as VR12 trials rewarding VR14 gear. It makes no sense to reward players with higher level gear for doing low level content.Attorneyatlawl wrote: »Maverick827 wrote: »
That's not how things work. Eventually when we're all VR20 or whatever, we'll be running back to complete VR12 Craglorn trials for VR20 gear? Yeah, that's not going to happen.Attorneyatlawl wrote: »Maverick827 wrote: »
Those scale because you're not completing easier content to obtain them and because you're supposed to be advancing in level while you do them. Trials are end-game content.Attorneyatlawl wrote: »Maverick827 wrote: »
The rest of the game certainly does not include scaling up lower level content rewards to your current level.Attorneyatlawl wrote: »Maverick827 wrote: »

So the VR12 trials will drop VR14 gear?Attorneyatlawl wrote: »Maverick827 wrote: »
But more is not ahead of you to achieve.Er ... no. This wouldn't make me want to cancel my sub. Still happy playing the game. Knowing more is ahead of me to achieve does not make me feel like quitting an online game.
If you are currently not at end game, all you have to look forward to is the exact last tier of content released, because there is no reason to do the previous ones.
By the time you level up to VR14 (or whatever the max is at the time), you won't be able to do Aetherian Archive or Hel Ra Citadel because everyone would have moved on.
Yeah, it's not like the loot drops scale to your current rank in the trials or anythi---oh, wait a second.
One can only assume that would be the case
Because it makes logical sense and is how the rest of the game has worked up to the present.
All of the following major reward systems scale:
-PVP bags.
-Secret reward bags.
-Trials rewards/drops.
-Craglorn world drops.
Why would you assume they are changing that in 1.4 when there has been no patch note to the contrary?
But let's wait and find out and see who's right (it will be me).
Yes, end-game content, which means they by design should scale with you regardless of your level. If you do turn out to be right (neither of us is right now because it hasn't happened yet) though it truly doesn't matter because as I said... losing 3 magicka off a trait in return for a set bonus you want when already past a 2500 level and softcapped is completely meaningless. The gear is not being "reset" or "outdated" in any way.
We aren't VR20, and won't be for a long time to come... so what does it matter at this point in time?
Note how the open world Craglorn bosses are VR11 and drop loot up to VR11 even if you're VR12.
QED.
The bosses aren't considered top level, they always drop up to one below. And it absolutely makes sense to scale the rewards from a design standpoint, it isn't "low level" content because veteran ranks are not levels. It's an AA system.1 -

All the boo hoo, I will need new gear is comical, how boring would an mporg be if you played it 3-4 months then never needed to get new gear till day servers shut.
Im sorry but the above is why game developers no longer need to try. People are happy to just do the same stuff over and over. I guess power to you if you enjoy it.
I long for a game that allows for me to develop my characters in specific ways and then once i reach a point be allowed to enjoy all elements of the game and grow via skill and challenge and not based on the numbers and gear that are associated to my character.
Why can't goals be based on achievements, creation and competition ? I think they are way more rewarding that always striving for another number next to my name or some gear that the only real value are, yes numbers.
Simplify the numbers, complicate the challenge and competition. You also create balance as well but who wants a game to be balanced when all people actually want is to find easy mode.
They make plenty of games like that. They're called action games. Battlefield, Need for speed, Titanfall, CoD, etc.
Achievements Suck1 -

FunkheaD✭✭✭YesYou know what, I expected more than 10% to cancel their subs... but realistically, is ZOS willing to potentially lose 10% of their customer base on this design decision?

Yeah I want a blend of an MMORPG and Battlefield. Alot of the systems in an MMO cannot be found in FPS like gorgeous expansive worlds, crafting, exploring. FPS PVE is usually SOLO i like to PVE with friends. . I prefer the MMO combat style over twitch based combat which can be frustrating and more sensitive to high latency situations where ESO combat is not as effected by latency (I know its still is but not as much).
As I said I'm still waiting for my holy grail!! I am glad your happy though, I can't understand it but I'm genuinely happy for you.
Edited by Rammi on August 20, 2014 10:26PMThe Champion System should have rewarded Champion Points based off of achievements and feats earned through excelling at end game content not grinding your life away vs mobs in order to stay competitive. This system is uncreative and is a great example of extremely lazy system design. Yes, you should be embarrassed1 -
NoNo, it will most definately not make me quit. I am very happy that the game is expanding and allowing me to keep progressing my character(s).
For those who choose to quit over this, I sincerely hope (for your own sake) you never intend to spend money on an MMO ever again, because raising the levelcap and introducing new gear is kinda what happens in these types of games.2 -

Please actually read people's posts. The problem is with the frequency of level cap increases. I've been playing MMOs for over ten years, this isn't the standard.bearclawmcbainb16_ESO wrote: »No, it will most definately not make me quit.

*Pfft* please. Upper Craglorn is much more than just a new Raid. There is plenty to do for casuals there.Maverick827 wrote: »If you don't do raid content then this level cap increase has nothing for you. There is no casual/solo content in 1.4.
But remember, you, and all the others who voted yes, have now committed to quitting when the new ranks go live! Ah well, who are we kidding, most (if any) of those voting yes won't leave. See you ingame after the update! 2
