    You will still be scaled to V1,
    The mobs are scaled to V5
    Take a friend or two into the dungeons now instead of just rolling them solo or they mobs will be rolling you :)

    But with the 'other' vet mob buffs, (not in the patch notes) the V5 mobs in PVP are harder then the V10 mobs in normal zones (before the current patch)

    So maybe you should take a few friends until that is fixed.

    So, am I reading that right in that you basically got one shot by one of the new NPC guards and it was an AOE? Because something seems more than a little "off" if that's the case.

    Haven't been able to experience it for myself yet. Been working all day, come home, internet service is crap and I've got a patch to download still, then the power goes out for two and a half hours. Just now got to 20% on patch progress here, but it's late and I must sleep soon. :disappointed:

    If the levels 1-49 weren't already fodder in PVP before this change, they really are now. Guards will mow them down mercilessly and they'll have no recourse whatsoever.

    On wabajack the lag was so bad that when we flipped sejanus, some of the mobs didnt change (they werent mercenaries) so people were getting killed by friendly mobs, and they were immune to our attacks.

    Let's all take this time to thank ZOS for this thoughtfulness!

    And running through the gates to get the skyshards by the elderscroll temples...wow that is gonna hurt bad and may end up undoable by some.

    Assuming there are no players on the gate, then you can just run through. Roll the CC by the mages and you're virtually untouched.

    Wonder how this will affect the population of Under VR ranked players?

    Just wondering the maps are kinda empty now except 1 or 2 of them

    Maybe it'll cut down on low level players who are only in the zone for PvE and increase the number of low level players who are only there for PvP? The change isn't just about collecting skyshards.

    Why would they want to cut down on PvE oriented players in a PvE/PvP Zone?

    I'm not saying that they do want to cut down on this, or that the change will even result in fewer PvE players in Cyrodiil to begin with. What I'm saying is, if it turns out that there are fewer low levels PvEing in Cyrodiil because of the mob changes, it might be balanced out by more low levels PvPing in Cyrodiil because they also increased the bolster effect.

    The PvE quests around the villages don't seem to have been boosted though. I'm still seeing mobs in the 1-2k health region.

    Even the mudcrabs. Evil VR5 mudcrabs. O_O

    I'm not a big PvPer. The last time I really enjoyed PvP was in DAoC, but I got caught up in it while looking for skyshards and it's become one of my favourite things to do in ESO. I'm only level 43, so I die a lot and spend most of my time healing and repairing things, and I'm still learning how not to derp die too much.

    Bad decision, in my opinion, because now Keep and Resource NPCs will be Vet5. That may sound trivial to a Vet5 DK or Sorc... but I'm just a lowly NB... and now I'm truly fooked!
    NBs are <in such bad shape> now that I expect I will be kicked from any party I attempt to join. Only thing patching does is break it further.
