    I'm not playing until 1.5.3, which I was expecting yesterday or today... /sadpanda

    I think Gina it will be Monday.

    Gina did not say when this will be fixed other than soon -- So how soooooooon will it be so we can play the game again


    You are right. Gina actually said they are, "…currently aiming to have this fixed in our next incremental patch."

    This is where the Monday time frame came from, the next scheduled maintenance. It has not been confirmed as of yet for Monday.

    This may come as a little shock but Gina says there is no real problem -- so no fix is coming -- maybe a little -- but this is what they want -- So Gina is really saying live with it or go find another game

    This is the most disappointing event that I have witnessed. ZOS, you KNEW that experience wasn't working correctly. Whoever is at the top, for the love of this game fire whoever made the decision to release this update.

    The thing is, after reading Gina's explanation on the reduced exp, It seems to confirm that this was their intention and it is "working as intended" for the most part. The fact that it has caused such an uproar seems to have ZOS scrambling and backtracking the whole way.

    Quests are still being incorrectly capped at level 50 amounts... that will be fixed. Same with the amounts of XP from enemies that are much lower level than you. So there are fixes coming just maybe not as many as we thought.

    Hate saying this, but I'll probably quit.

    Unlike some of my guild mates, I didn't level up all 4 classes to VR14 before the XP nerf, I have them, but they are all low level toons apart from my VR14 NB.

    To me, PvP is end game or me, and I'd like to try out other classes now that I've done a lot with my NB, but I'm not going to run through the entire game another three times just to have a full team of VR14's for PvP.

    Been here since Feb 2014 - You'd think I'd be half reasonable at this game by now...

    This will change nothing except if the lvl 50 cap amount is 5-6 times less than what we should be earning :(

    In EQ2 we would get bonus XP weekends when they would make screw ups like this. But also remember that EQ2 had really awesome vet rewards. Some of them were silly but fun, like fireworks, but others would give you an XP boost for a set amount of time, free appearance change, or food and drink with awesome stats. Basically I wouldn't hold my breath about getting any sort of compensation from ZOS, they tend to be pretty stingy.

    Eventide has hit the nail on the head. So simple and wouldn't cost ZOS a cent. As a sigh of good will they give us a double XP week to make up for the no XP week. It would make up in a very fair way for what happened.

    are you guys on drugs -- did you not read what they said -- you're not going to be getting anything back because there is no problem other than we don't know how to play the game -- they say just go quest nothings wrong -- But guess what - at the end of caldwells quest chain you're going to be a whole lot of xp short. Have fun grinding from somewhere around vr4 to vr14 -- you may have grand children before you get there

    Seriously the worst programmers and whatevers behind a game. This is so rediculous and they can't deal with the structure of the game from that i assume someone else made. I am pretty sure that the original programmers are allready working on another game and this is the reserve team working on eso now which is absolutely a 100% incompetent. They screw elemental things and the failpatch today presents that perfectly.
    I never had such experiences where game producers or programmers were not able to do simple mathematics!
    I am SO SHOCKED!

    More than a week now and i just got from vr1 to vr1 and a half.
    WHAT DAMAGED BRAINS IDEA WAS THAT???

    The better thing is that the gamers here fixed the clienterror from today hours faster than zenimax. HILLARIOUS!
    Reminds me on the fps bug where players also found out about the issues, weeks before ZOS did.

    Actually its quicker to level now compared to what it was before the 1.5 patch. However, how boring ass is that - grind grind grind going through the same pattern of mobs to get to the level. It takes around 180 seconds to get 14K exp so we are looking at 5 hours solid play to get from VRx to VRy.

    Assuming you don't fall asleep with boredom first of course.

    Yeah, so message seems pretty loud and clear. Ain't going to happen.
