AA system coming in to replace Vet Levels
http://elderscrollsotr.mymiddleearth.com/2014/07/11/episode-118-update-3-w-paul-sage/
Lower Craglorn coming in Patch 4, has a PVE Arena
PVP Team working on finishing PvP Imperial City
Champion Points coming in, will allow ya to customize your character even more, Think AA system similar to Rift/EQ/Paragon Levels in Diablo 3. PvP will also get big Experience increase as well.
on PTS right now, the Softcap has been massively increased to allow more customization and specializing, Multiple Set changes ect ect.
Respecs are decreasing massively in cost, They're also handing out one in 1.3 for free
At least 2 new zones coming in similar to the current 1-50 leveling areas
I'm sure i'm missing more, Basically massive changes coming before its released on Console, all pretty much good.
Comments
after playing on pc and quiting, i made the decision long ago to just pick it up and play casually on ps4 this is def a console mmo.
Went back to Skyrim and installed a ton of new mods and having massive amounts of more fun then i had in ESO.
Zenimax just created a below average game and it might needs 3 years of work to make me come back to it.
This would certainly make me pay for another month to try it out.
Why they didn't listen to people asking for this during the betas is beyond me.
This all sounds pretty good, the current veteran levels/grind just felt so terribly half assed, pretty much a scam to keep people playing but not really create any content for it. AA points should remedy this, assuming they are actually meaningful of course...
Unlikely ill resub, may have stuck around had this all been in place to begin with though.
r.i.p. c!
This sounds interesting.
Some things I like about the game and some I don't. If several things were re-arranged it could possibly turn into a good game.
But the MEGA SERVER WILL ALWAYS TURN ME OFF !
Is your title mis-leading? Are the new champion points replacing Vet Ranks, meaning you don't have to run that content any more, because that was the big turn off for me, I'm just not interested in doing it, even after they reduced the difficulty.
For me to return they'd have to redesign the game so that once I got a character to level 50, he would be viable in PVP from their forward, and not cannon fodder unless he completed VR15 PVE activities.
If that isn't changing, Champion points and more exp in PVP isn't going to really isn't going to address this.

Believe me, I think its a bit too much as well. But I find there is little difference between 5 levels of veteran levels in PvP. I am a sorc and I have 1v1ed v8s and I am v4 and won. So I tend to think Veteran levels are similar to item levels/better gear in other MMOs. Not saying that is the right decision to go, or that PvE gear should be the difference in PvP.
Vet 12 is still the max i believe.
I think they should make a Vet dungeon for Vet 2s as well.
Other than that I think these changes are a step in the right direction. I would love to see a truly open world at Vet10 as well. Something that maybe transforms the world into all level Vet10 content with open PvP
Looking forward to: Crowfall / Lost Ark / Black Desert Mobile
Just canceled my sub, not going back before its released for consoles, maybe they have done it right by then.
Im not paying for beta testing, Archage beta is free, gonna try that one instead.
