TalonShina✭✭✭Trust me this isn't something you want them to rush. If they are dead set on it I want them to take their time with it because if they rush it then it will be truly game breaking. As it is I think it'll cause more headache then its worth but since they promised to remove it they are now dead set on doing that. Therefore I want it right vs. right nowTalons Fury - Sorc. Tank

✭@TalonShina is right.
It is an important change and not a very easy one.
How do you think the change would look exactly?
I thinks they should take their time with it, and once they do finally get something done, let it brew on the PTS for some time before releasing it onto main servers.
They just might collect some useful feedback from PTS.0 -

What else can they do with so many players ranting about them not making plans public. Things that are far from fleshed out end up being announced to appease those people, even ideas that may never make it into the game.0 -
I hope they can't pull it off because all its going to do is mess the game up. There is no reason to take get ranks away at ALL.1

✭✭✭✭✭When they are ready to remove them, duh.
Seriously though...
Likely if they gave a date now, they would not keep it, since there would inevitasbly be one more bug they notice and have to squish. So... better take it as it may come then hope for exact datings...0 -

You sound a bit uninformed.
I have been fine with vet ranks, but there are good reasons to remove them if they go that route. There are pros and cons. I'm not sure the pros are things that many enjoy in a game.
I do think that getting to current VR16 gear might be excessively quick for new players with the CP catch up. But I fail to see the problem with that.
For me, the main problem will be progressively difficult zones. I like having progressively more difficult zones on my first playthrough. I also like being able to set aside world bosses that are too difficult for me and returning to them after a little leveling. I would hate to see all world bosses end up like the Wrothgar world bosses where you end up joining a group of 20 and there is no challenge. I like the current setup where I can periodically revisit world bosses until I can take them out.0 -

✭✭✭The exact and correct answer to this question is : First Quarter 2016, together with ThiefGuild DLC
Do you have a reference for this? I know there has been a lot of speculation that they would be removed with TG or DB but have not seen anything from ZOS regarding concrete dates or DLCs.@wayfarerx - PC / North America / Aldmeri Dominion0 -

I'm QUOTING Wayfarerx from the comment section of one of the linked threads
"VR removal is not something they are just starting on, it's basically been in the works since shortly after launch when it became clear that lots of players hated it. Many people left the game when they hit the wall that is veteran ranks and it's likely that new players will continue to do so should VR remain, not good for a game that depends on people staying around and spending more money.
Some reasons CP is superior to VR:
Alts, alts, alts. Making it fun to create alts means that people play longer and hopefully spend more money. VR makes leveling alts really painful, but CP is account wide.
ZOS has more control with CP via the cap and catch-up mechanic, they can use those to keep the player base closer together and thus encounter much less difficulty when balancing content.
Champion points are earned much faster than veteran ranks, giving a more immediate sense of progression. Even after nerfing the XP requirements for veteran ranks they still take forever to earn. Sure, hardcore players can grind them out in Cracked Wood Cave pretty quickly, but for casual players the 13 million XP mountain is quite intimidating.
Caldwell's sucks hard after your second or third time through it. After VR removal it will go from being an almost mandatory grind to a place you just jump into when you need a few more skill points."

TERMINAT0R_XVII✭✭✭The last time I checked they said not till after or with the dark brotherhood dlc which is slated for Q2-Q3 2016. You are looking at a minimum of 4 more months before you see Vet ranks removed. I'll most likely have end game gear for 4 out of my 7 alts before that happens lol
