- We are fixing an issue where some members of the Trial group would not receive full credit for kills. This was causing group members to get different amounts of XP from encounters.
- We are increasing the overall amount of XP in Trials by a multiplier greater than 10. We’re still nailing down the exact number.
Is dragonstar arena considered a trial? (I imagine so, but just making sure given the size difference as there are "trial leaderboards" for it). Or is it considered a dungeon?
What about vet dungeons? I thought they were getting buffed too, xp wise? Or are they deemed ok?

@ZOS_GinaBruno Hey Gina, could you clarify whether in Paul's post he considers dragonstar arena as a trial? Just so that the message is clear . Seems like there might be some confusion on what is considered a trial and DSA is kind of in its own gray area for some (although since it has a leaderboard + scoring design that seems like a trial to me).

No, these XP changes do not include Dragonstar Arena.

I hoped, that XP gain is also for Arena. My opinion is, that one full vet arena run should give 1 full CP, so 400k XP. It is really hard content in comparison with other Trials or delves, because it is for 4 people only, and these 4 people need to be a pro gamers to be able to do arena. A newbie player without experience of the game mechanics and his character/class/skills is not able to do arena.

Heh....NO...players can run Vet DSA a little over an hour, some even an hour flat. You're looking at some people on a given day, they could make 10-14 CPs a day!
Just no, no no no.
And let's just say, they do 10 runs in a day for a week, they would get 70 + the enlightenment (7). So you're looking at 77 CPs a week. No no...just....no....
...
no
Just because someone is able to play many hours/day doesn't mean they're an idiot. Maybe that person is disabled and ESO is literally the only thing they CAN do, did you ever think about that? I'm sorry you feel inadequate against Players who Grind all day long but ZoS doesn't need to put in a daily CP cap just to make you feel better about yourself.Lets softcap the daily CP to 5 and the grinding people, who have no life, no family and no work will not grind like an idiots
And the people who can not play 16/24 will also happy.
Why on earth would you not include DA? That makes no sense. ALL Mobs need xp increased. Diminishing returns need to be added to mob types to prevent abuse.
Why should those of us who play the game as intended suffer because some abuse the grind?

Frankly as a new player don't expect to see VR14 before ZOS remove the VR system in God knows how many months time. Post VR10 it's nigh on impossible to get the 4M XP needed for VR14.As a new player I'm really happy to see this as every endgamer I've been talking to lately was just thrash talking Post 50 progress, saying it wasn't worth the amount of time invested
and suddenly, no kidding, the sun has started shining where I live EXACTLY AS I READ THIS THREAD
It must be a sign for me to log on asap when servers r back on and start leveling to 50!!!
