Patch 1.5.3 Vet xp, quest xp question

Ysne58 · November 2014

The changes made so far are helping. Thanks for keeping us informed. I look forward to seeing the quest cap changes too.

So I just spent a casual 20 minutes on a V2 character. Turned in 3 minor quests (weren't main story quests, just very easy side quests), killed anything that got in my way (but didn't go hunting), and netted just over 45k xp. That averages out to 7 hours of very casual game time to level, and I didn't even bother to apply any effort.

Not really seeing a problem.

READ THE THREAD!

It's not time, it's that there aren't enough quests.

Thanks for your... erm... insight, though. It's been very helpful. I'll forward your application to ZOS.

Yeah... I HAVE been reading the thread.

But you like to conveniently and completely overlook and ignore the reduction of XP required to level. They reduced the required XP by 1/3rd. That's huge. I've been playing each of my VR toons today to see how the leveling progress is, and they're each seeing a major improvement. I'm bringing in XP at a better than acceptable rate, and given that I'm in zones that I've played ad-nauseum with other characters and know how many quests there are in each zone, it's readily apparent that there are more than enough quests to ensure I'll level before graduating to the next zone. And, I dare say... I'm now seeing progress through the VR levels better than before the change from VP to XP to level.

The issue is that there weren't enough quests before, and lowering the amount of XP required to level is dubious math at best. I think it's fair to be skeptical at this point.

45k xp for three quests seems a little high compared to what others have been reporting. Especially for side quests...Are you sure it was 45k and not 4.5k?

If what you are saying is in fact the case it would be good news.

So apparently, rather than reducing to XP required to gain a Vet Rank to 1.43 million XP, patch 1.5.3 actually raised it to 4 million XP.
Oops :disagree:
But it's been brought down to 1 million now.

I didn't say the 45k was from quests alone. The quests accounted for about half that XP. The rest was made simply from the mobs I encountered along the way and the couple of chests I stumbled across. Heck, the monsters alone are anywhere between 400 - 600 per kill.

I look forward to having a chance to play and look at this. As I recall it 400-600 XP per MOB is about 10x what I recall getting. That would be a huge change alone.
