    I agree the should make the requirement for these skills much harder. Meteor is also way to easy to get , collecting books for a couple hours to get that awesome skill is just ridiculous as well. Put 501cp requirements on everything

    Tbh it feels just as insulting that PvPers now can BUY monster sets off a vendor. I've had to farm those sets like everyone else, but you can just run up and buy them for a currency you gain through your preferred way of playing? And gain even faster than gold, mind you.
    I welcome this change, albeit I agree it's alittle ridicolous. At this rate I'll have Proxy on 2 chars whereas I've barely really played PvP. They could reduce it alittle, much like people have suggested above, but I hope this change sticks in a noticeable way - not a gutwrenching way.
    Then again I'll only get the skills I need and then never go back to Cyro unless I'm REALLY bored.

    This update is bringing alot of nice balance to the two sides of the game. I hope Undaunted gets nerfed too so it's easier to obtain for all you PvPers!

    The conversion will not affect PvP ranks. It only affects the Assault/Support skill line in the skill trees.

    I have done in the past but as I pvp as well as pve I also have access to my own. I find many of the pvp sets though, with the exception of maybe one or two that I've ever used, seriously lacking.

    That being said though pvp players have the option to sell pvp gear that they've either got through rewards for the worthy or bought with AP, a currency they earn simply by killing other players, taking keeps etc in their preferred style of gameplay. Pve players, with the exception of crafted gear, don't have that option as most of the gear they come across is bound or bound on pick up. Also the currency pve players have access to, gold, can take a lot longer to get than the same amount in AP.

    Also, with regards to skills, I have no problem with any of the in game skills being easier to get. The pvp skills can take quite a while to unlock unless you're in cyrodiil constantly, as opposed to the pve skill trees which you can level simply by having them on your bar when gaining experience either through turning in quests or whatever. Alliance ranks should remain unchanged but skills not so much. Having the skills is one thing, learning to use them effectively is another.

    One of the things I wish this game had, like most other elder scrolls titles, is skill trainers that appear after you've completed the game the first time as that would certainly make levelling alts a lot easier hehe.

    Keep in mind it comes along with ap per kill being doubled. So AvA skill line level 10 equates to 335k AP with current values. This is less than 8 hours of PvP for somebody who knows how to farm AP...

    So us pvpers can get mage/fighter/unduanted 10 each right with 90% reduction? Thats how this works isn't it, you take months of effort and turn it into a 1-2 day job to cater to the lazy pve casuals.

    So can i start getting preset v16 to mess around with? Or make leveling skills/lines and actual levels 90% less?

    Mage guild how about 1 book a rank?

    Or let us buy the ranks at 10 for 50k ap a go?

    Just for info most casuals will not get anywhere near maxing this skill line in a week. Casuals are so called due to their limited time to play. So maybe 2hrs a day.
    By definition these changes are to help pve players get important alliance war skills, so they won't be expert at PvP and getting alliance points. This really helps pvpers more with any and all alts.. it will still take casual pvpers a significant effort to get skills.

    @Farorin The issue is not solely that the skills are easier to get, it's that they are now too easy to get. I think most people support a reduction in the required AP, but many would prefer a reduction by a lesser amount.

    Yes. If people really want a reduction sure. 1000% reduction is now the answer.

    20-30% reduction is fine. Vigor in 200k ap, caltraps in 400k etc... proxy det in 1.25m ap.

    Not 700k to unlock alliance 10.

    People are forgetting ap is getting buffed as well, more ap per kill.

    Just so we are clear, PvE and PvP players will take advantage of this vendor just the same. I know tons of PvE players who have yet to get certain helms or shoulders and are tired of running the same event over and over. Just stop.
    Most good PvPers have put in the same amount of hours (sometimes more) as the PvE crowd farming their sets, particularly Bloodspawn, EG, Kena, and Valk. Making the argument you made is very myopic. Also if you think PvP players are making more gold than PvE, you are misguided. A knowledgeable player through PvE can run circles around a pvper in the guild making department.

    These arguments are extremely weak and marginalize important issues, please stop.

    I like it

    as it stands now, for newer players, they are at such a huge disadvantage when trying to pvp.

    There are certain skills gained through alliance ranks that equate to mandatory skills and for stam characters thats at least the Vigor line.

    Now cant wait to get rid of the champ point advantage in BWB too.

    I am glad of it. As it currently stands I actively feel punished for PvPing on a character that isn't my main because it feels like wasted AP as I still need skills. For me to get Proxy on all my VR16s would take me months and months of nothing but PvP and that's just ridiculous.

    If AVA skill levels can't be account-wide, then it has to be easier to attain.
