Actually, thinking about it, while this isn't what happened on PTS when the patch was applied (people at VR14 + 1000,000 went up to VR15), it is what ZOS said would happen. They did say that nobody would go up in level as a result of the changes to the amount of XP needed per vet rank. So as long as people with less than 849,999 XP accumulated don't lose any XP, it's exactly as expected.
I saw it somewhere in the PTS forums, but now that @ZOS_RichLambert has chimed in (fairly speedy reply there Rich), I think that's pretty moot, and not only am I not going to bother to try to find the link, you almost certainly no longer care about getting a linknagarjunna wrote: »Actually, thinking about it, while this isn't what happened on PTS when the patch was applied (people at VR14 + 1000,000 went up to VR15), it is what ZOS said would happen.

Um, would you be able to link that? I did not know that...

Instead we look at your current XP in your current level. If the current XP is higher than the current level we clip the XP to be 1 point below. If your current XP doesn’t put you over the new cap we leave it alone. (As a side note, this automatically results in an increase in the progression to the next level.)
For example:
- VR2 now requires 850000 xp to reach (we reduced it 15% in this update). If you have more than 850000 points in VR1, it drops you back to 849999 points.
- VR2 used to require 1000000 xp to reach. If you had 354000 points on VR1 you would have been ~35% through the level. As we aren’t changing your XP if you aren’t at the new cap, that same 354000 xp would now be ~42% of the way through the level.
This isn't about giving us retroactive XP, but taking away XP already earned and recorded. They cut off everything above the new max, 850k, and it affects all ranks, not just v14. If you were v2 with 900k XP before the patch, 50k of it just went poof. What should have happened instead is rolling over into the next rank, making you a v3 with 50k XP towards v4.I spoke to a few people in guild chat, and it was clear right there and then that what had happened was that characters that had earned more than 1 VR level of xp were put at 1xp short of VR15.
I'm not sure why anyone would expect anything better than that, has retrospective XP ever been logged and awarded? I don't think it has. I was very happy to gain a level (or at least 1xp short of it) right off the bat after the update, because I wasn't expecting that.
Other players have killed one boss as a V14 and leveled to v15.
