Veteran Ranks

I don't know if this is relevant or not, but I like the veteran ranks. I don't want them to disband them in the future. I like my 14 (or accomplished) extra stats, and I like how it can distinguish a player. I'm not V14, but I like how it's another goal to gain. I post this to hope ESO may rethink getting rid of them, because I don't want to see only the champion system in the future.

    Zenimax already said the veteran system will be removed. It was supposed to happen soon after the champion system was deployed, alas, it hasn't....

    Because... Buttons...

    Considering that the Champion System has just come out, I think you can give them a few months before you say they haven't.

    FWIW, I do like the Vet ranks as well. Getting a VR on one of my alts feels like an extra milestone. :-)

    It's supposed to happen in a major release after camp system. So it will not happen for at least 2 months, maybe longer. I welcome getting rid of Vet Ranks. Given that Vet ranks now are no different from regular levels, maybe they'll just make Vet ranks regular levels. I suspect this because they don't want to re-balance the game with having less stats yet again. But we'll see once they release more details in the future.

    Two progressions systems that were never meant to coexist... No, I don't think ZoS should wait a few months, because a few months means after consoles are released, meaning console will be released still with the veteran system.

    How do you think it will fly with the gamers and the critics, that the game is being released with levels that are supposed to be removed soon (TM)?

    Removal of Vet Ranks (if it happens at all) will occur as follows:

    1) Rename "VR1" through "VR14" as "Level 50" through "Level 63".

    2) Do not change anything else.

    3) ZOS: "Veteran Ranks Removed, as promised! Have a nice day."

    Don't say it again, they could literally do it like you said. Wouldn't be a big surprise, would it?

    Hah! Well I'd be happy with that, but it's a little lackluster. "See ya subscribers!" Zos nods. At least those that felt the goal that was gained would be happier with the outcome.

    My question is do we get anything for those Vet ranks that we are losing, are they going to convert the xp into champ points or something? or are we just SoL and thanks for all the fish for grinding them out.

    The intent is to remove them before June when console games are launched. Its a coding thing I would imagine but in all honesty there is no real need for VR ranks. The Vet Zone as we all know them will simply become end game content areas. The champion system will replace the prestige the OP is wanting and you now have 3600 ranks to achieve. Good luck with them levels.

    Uh 1.6 converted your achieved Vet ranks to champ points. It's a done deal use them 70 pts and be happy you got them because new players will not.

    If they just remove the vet ranks and just make the level 50 how is the vet progression going to be maintained? I personally like the vet system. And don't see without making us lvl 64 how it would work out as far as gear and such.

    I maintain they should be renamed levels 51 through 150, since each Vet level corresponds to 10 normal levels anyway...

    I would have been fine with them removing Vet ranks when they introduces the Champion Points, but I understand that adjusting all the gear is a monumental task, so I am ok with them doing things the way they are doing it now.

    Personally, I think the whole removal of the vet ranks and development of the Champion System (whatever its merits) is just a HUGE diversion of development resources that could be going into giving us new zones and other content.

    I think VR ranks should be dealt with the same way 1-50 is, but vr1-14 is nowhere near the equivalent of just 13 extra levels, more like 13*5 or so. The 'content' is already there, and the item tiers are in place. Continue to scale xp needed per level just as it is from 1-50, with new item tiers every 10 levels. This is also 65 more levels on top of the original 50, and without changing some things, a lot more attribute points and skill points, so that's something to consider. I would much rather have a level 115 cap than vr14, but that's just me - I'm used to ES games having higher levels than 50.

    lol really so that is it, math sounds fishy to me. So really this is no reason for anyone to level a character past vr1 since its all going to be wiped and they will get nothing for it then.

    If they keep them (including the need to complete Cadwell's Silver and Gold for a half way decent levelling experience) I will never, ever level another toon. And given that there's not a lot left for me to do on my main toon, well...
