I was going to return to eso with this patch but i not sure anymore

Jbugz97 · May 2016

so i was planning to return haven't played since December,
once i saw that veteran was being removed and a lot of gear was getting redone and increase in level so that their is more gear option to end game, i was interested in coming back, the gear set up idea was going crazy in my mind of potentials.
but i just check out http://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Sets to look at the gear, & its seem like it the same old stuff from zos.

most of the old gear are stopping at 140 champion point,(so now the question is, is that a big difference as it was from v14 to v16 or not?
theirs some gear that stop at 120 champ
idk what are you guys seeing with this new patch should i still give this game a try again

If Live is half as good as the PTS, it is very worth it. There likely changes from the PTS that we don't know yet.

I suspect that if you're doing the highest end-game content, e.g. MoL, VMA that you would/will want best in class gear. For MoL especially as I think it's a bit of a disservice to those in your group to not be maxed out.

However, if mainly you want to do Undaunted stuff? Or utilize esoteric PvP builds? Than I think the lower CP gear will be just fine.

Example:

A friend in my normal group LOVES the Necropotence set and she's been eagerly awaiting DB so her v3 toon will become a CP160+ toon and thus able to utilize Necropotence sets that have been v9/10 pieces.

Will she be BiS? Prolly not. Will she have fun, though ? U bet. She should experience little problems with the other 3 of us as we run vet dungeons while her pets flap and charge about

Keep in mind that player created websites usually need some time to be updated. I just checked 2 sets which will be interessting at max level and they both were not listed as max level set on that site.

I am pretty certain that they will upgrade more sets in the future.

You apparently already own the game so it costs you nothing to check it out for yourself.

This.

I have really not looked into sets much because my v16s mostly have gear that works for them and I'm not going to always look across the fence and wonder if the grass really is greener. That said, I made a thieving set that included some lower level gear because it wasn't available at v16.

Personally, from spending a little bit of time on the PTS, I felt that the game was more polished and I'm looking forward to getting home tonight, hopefully to an updated client and being able to explore it on Live. :-)

imho ESO is still great fun, and I'd recommend playing.
however, if those were your reasons, you shouldn't come back.

the vet removal doesn't do much except remove a redundant dimension (vet levels) that were already included in CP and help new twinks (those beyond the CP cap had very little benefit from going from v1 to v16 on twinks).
oh, and help those new to the game to catch up even faster. due to the catch-up mechanics, 160CP are reached much faster than VR16.

basically, the game is the same as before the removal. The change just completes the introduction of the champion system and paves the way for new (180? 200? CP gear in future patches/DLCs)

concerning end-game set viability: there's already TONs of interesting sets in PvP. However, the PvE mechanics for trials, 4man and msa, all really reward high dps output (e.g. vmsa is all abotu your damage, gettign overwhealmed by adds kills you, single target mechanics are all pretty easy and patches even made sure there are zero one hits left for even the most glass-cannon builds). And once players have fully figured out the options, tehre will always be one optimal choice. PvP, especially, duels are somewhat better in that regard.

Vet removal is for me,the best thing happening to ESO since beta days. And gold coast!!

Jbugz97 · May 2016

thanks guys i think im going to give it a try once it comes out im more of a pvp player and i had some interesting ideas with a build that involved old gears mostly. and your right the link may still need update

If u left cause of VR, then stay gone cause VR wasn't removed, it was just converted to CP in some respects while the skill and stat points were re-worked I to levels 1-50

Also, because until we see patch notes and it goes live, the personal concerns that I questioned are still up in the air.

-What is being scaled now? (Technically CP and 1-50 are in the equation but not on PTS)
-What/how will non-CP campaigns work as far as Cp gear?

i didn't leave because of vet rank it was a combine of other stuff, but the removal of it and that fact that my first reaction to this new patch was that all gear are going to be end game level.these brought me back to being interested in the game.

but know im realizing that this is not true not all gear or end game or at least we need to wait until the patch is release to find out.
