General Confusion about Veteran Rank and Champion System.

    I would not wait to level. Level now because the Champion system is not going to be released until at least patch 1.4. If you consider the 4-6 weeks between patches then expect it around. September-October.

    It may even get pushed back to 1.5 which means late October-November time frame.

    Alright everyone.

    Look at what @madangrypally posted....IN JULY!

    He says 1.5 is oct-nov.

    Was he lucky you think?
    He simply read what Zenimax said.

    He posted this 4 months ago.
    I love to see others who really do read what Zenimax saying.

    Instead of reading posts like where the best "grindspots" are.
    Or post how ruined ESO is from players who only know how to get 4 x Vet 14 chars. Trying to discuss with them seams pointless. Whatever I say...is wrong.

    I'd like to see posts about:
    - How cool it is to make a new alt now....same zone but different! With all the remade stuff, Level 1-50 now is a new experience then if you did it in April/May/June.
    - Or how kinda overpowered heavy armor, heavy attacks and stamina is getting.
    - Or anything that has nothing to do with making something easy, get for free or general complaining about "their interests".
    - How Werewolves get a serious advantage
    - How justice system by itself will balance the provision mats that everyone can get in cities. You can get the same outside cities and not get "thief" flagged.

    I have not posted things like this myself, since I am pretty much burned on these forums from my previous posts. Saying things that are in game that someone don't know about. Or someone don't want me to be right....seams to put my post in the trashcan. B)

    Greetings! I am Maria Aliprando, Gameplay Designer on the Champion System.

    We are hard at work on it and I’m here to answer a few of your questions. Most of these questions were also asked during our Guild Round Table in the last two days.

    How will the current system change when the Champion System gets introduced?

    The Champion System will introduce new past lvl 50 progression for your account where previously there was only an increase in Veteran Ranks and Attributes. The Champion System allows you spend points in the constellations to earn powerful passives such as giving your bash a chance to snare targets, reduce the amount of damage you take from flames or leech health on critical strikes.


    What happens to the Veteran Ranks we currently have VR1-12?

    We want to remove the Veteran Ranks from the game and rely on the more active progression provided by the Champion System. However, when we release the Champion System we will continue to maintain Veteran Ranks. We have several options as to how we will remove Veteran Ranks but all of them require time and careful planning. In the meantime, we are making Veteran Ranks earned by XP and reducing the overall time it takes to get a Veteran Rank. We are also rewarding an Attribute Point and a Skill Point each time you reach a Veteran Rank.


    What happens to the Skill Points from VR1-12? Are they carried over to the CS instead?

    The Skill Points we reward will not be removed from you! You will continue to have the same amount of Skill Points you do now. The Champion System does not reward any Skill Points, only gaining Veteran Ranks does. When we take out Veteran Ranks we will make sure that anyone that didn't make it max Veteran Rank will still rewarded with those Skill Points.


    Does everyone that is a Veteran Rank get lowered back to lvl50? Or are the Ranks staying, but only being changed to lvl 51, 52, etc instead?

    Similar to an answer before, we just don’t know yet.


    Should players that are VR1+ still work towards VR12 or should they just wait until the new changes.

    Continue to play! We are tracking your XP as you advance your way through Veteran Ranks and even past VR14. When the Champion System comes out we will reward you points right away based on the amount of XP you have earned up to a cap. In general, most people won’t reach the cap and we do not know what that cap is yet. We're still working out that value and making sure to take a look at the XP you all are earning.

    Is this still relevant? Is there more up to date info?

    Is there any point whatsoever in continuing to play if one doesn't have a VR14, only VR1 characters?
