    I don't usually PvP so I really don't understand how it works.

    Sorry.

He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.

    I'm one of those open world explorers ... plenty of space to explore either with one toon via Cadwell's silver and gold, or rolling different faction characters.

    I think I made the mistake of downloading addons a little to early, but the amount of pointless quests in this game is insane. They give next to no exp, and very little reward at the end of them. I like the quest chains. They tell an actual story.
    But the addons do completely break immersion, I know where everything is so I've decimated any exploration in the game.

    What's Cadwell's silver and gold? Is this more towards end game?

    A lot of players get to max level before doing PvP.

    This is probably wise, but I did choose the none veteran rank zone, but I still get destroyed by people 10-15 levels lower than me. I think I have fairly decent gear, it's all my level and set's, so I get a fair amount of bonuses, but I do terrible damage, why is that?

    Cadwell silver/gold is veteran zones, you unluck it once you've completed your main storyline quest. Silver is for DC, Gold is for AD as EP.

    Depending on where you start, the "next" one is silver, and the "last" one is gold.

    My single vet character started in DC and silver for him has been AD.

    I remember when solo PVE had some challenge to it during the beta phase, then people complained and most of it got nerfed. Then after release the vet ranks were where the real challenge began but again people complained and now any solo combat is just dull and the only purpose it seems to serve is to make quests take longer. If you want some challenging PVE content then you're currently restricted to veteran dungeons, DSA, vDSA and trials. So enjoy the storylines and exploration while leveling because the combat will not bring you much enjoyment outside of the PVE content mentioned above and PVP, which is a complete mess in terms of performance and lag. Hopefully update 7 will finally make a serious dent in the issues that have been plaguing PVP for months.

    P.S If you are getting owned in PvP then join the Non-Veteran campaign, only level 1 - 50 players so you won;t get killed by max level players.

    :)


    I did join the Non-veteran campaign, but I still get destroyed. One problem I'm having though is not being able to join any other characters on a different faction in the non-vet campaign. Is there any way to leave the campaign? What's worse is after the 5 days are up, it automatically resets! So I have to wait another 5 days, and on and on it goes. How in the hell do I work around this?

    No one has answered this.

    I pains me the same way.

    To start in the non-vet zone, or any zone you get an invite to go to PvP land at level 10... so I did with my worst toon, for my first attempt(my best toon is in different Alliance), so now I'm stuck in the non-vet zone and want to get out so my best toon can get in....

    HELLLPPP.

    Little explanation of the zones and being forced to stay in your first choice, and locking out your other alliances would have been helpful.

    It's pretty annoying that no one has answered this. I even made a new thread about it, loads of people viewed it, but no one bothered to tell me. It'll most like be a very simple solution no doubt.
    I get why there's a 5 day waiting period, I just don't understand why it automatically reassigns as soon as the 5 days are up! It's a terrible design. If I ever get the answer though, I will post it on here for you. I feel your pain, brother. :p

    People keep on commenting on the fact I'd only played the game for 2 weeks and ranting about it.
    Are you seriously telling me you can't make your mind up within 2 weeks, about whether or not you like a game? I can tell within the first hour whether I like it or not. I did like it, very much, and I still do. I just felt it was getting repetitive and that PVE combat was WAYYYYY to easy. I was asking for suggestions on what else there was to do in the game as combat was getting stale. It's all good now though, as I've said numerous times in this post, all I need to do was remove that addons, and it was like a whole new game.

    Here is a thread that discusses changing a campaign. Apparently it's more complex than I thought.

    Thank you! My god, I've been trying to figure this out for weeks, I'd all but given up and accepted I won't be doing any none veteran PVP on DC or EP ha.

    Again, thanks!

    You are welcome.

    In a weirdly related note, I just spent last night in Cyrodiil playing Broken Branch Toothmaul (otherwise known as Goblin Girl) in a vet campain with a bunch of high level altmer (she started the evening at 12, ended it 14) in a vet campaign. Went pretty well, and just as we were admitting we weren't looking forward to the long ride "back" to our keep of origin, some vet14 came along and killed us all.

    Quite handy, all things considered.
