LVL 50, Veteran Rank 1 - Video

Post » Mon Feb 24, 2014 3:31 am

This is the video I'm trying to anolyze and discuss as to what is happening. Someone at beta weekend spent 40 hours in pvp and already obtained veteran rank 1, which is past lvl 50? How is this possible already in a single beta weekend. Here is the video of the guy soloing spindleclutch dungeon and already wearing lvl 50 and rank 1 gear?!! Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1xcYWl60jQ

he is probably a psijic tester, they have had access to the game for the past year. and they usually come on to the main server to help out/ play with more people on beta weekends.

there was a rumor of a glitched quest in cyrodiil that made people high levels too, but im not sure if thats true.

in his description says he did quests in cyrodil for 40 hours or so.. to get to 50.. if this is true i would be quite unhappy with it..

Im am very unhappy with this, it means a pvp player can acquire lvl 50 with what just two days of work?!

he might have used an exploit... :) and we will be able to test it the next beta.. other than that it will be a speculation..

thats literally impossible without an exploit of somesort. he is definitely lying. within one beta weekend of almost constant play I got to level 15/16 and finished almost all quests in the first area.

and the second 4 day beta I was doing quests in cyrodiil the ENTIRE time and only got to level 22.

Sounds unlikely; if it was true it would be a huge problem. I still wish they'd do what WoW was going to do in Beta, where if you played for too long at a time you got XP gain debuffs.

pretty much what i thought.... Devs should monitor leveling during beta tests. in case some adventurous people discover an exploit and start power leveling. would help to identify faults in the game.

If you can get to V1 in 40 hours I have serious concerns for the longevity of this game. I would expect a minimum of a month or two to reach endgame content for the average player.

it should be reporting, and I expect it has. or hope at least.

the guy was using an exploit don't worry.

I dunno if its "40 hours" like he states but its known to be 54 hours to level cap if you skip everything. That being said they already stated they are looking at it. They have shown what they can produce in such a short time this is nothing really. All they have to do is adjust xp. And i am pretty sure he won't get that character upon release surely they will be deleted.

Are you sure? Here's what he said he did to level in Cyrodiil so quickly in another video he put up - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQfudqJHk4s

yeah I think thats the exploit people were talking about. it gives out way too much exp, and it will probably be fixed by launch.

with the amount of people that talked about it on the beta forums it won't have gone unnoticed, and I doubt zenimax will just ignore something as game breaking as this.

I hope so, wouldn't be happy for pvp to be easymode. It's already going to be easy enough just by being something you can do while in a zerg

Pvp is gonna be easy mode for exploiters during next beta/betas since they are already level 50 and this annoys me, but oh well...

I imagine it has something to do with us being scaled up for PVP, maybe the quest was level 50 and gave exp accordingly? I don't know but Im sure it will be gone. and I wouldn't count you on that zerg thing, its very easy to cripple or rout zergs with organization.

well they have ruined it for themselves and they will need to reroll. its their own fault for exploiting.

the thing that annoys me is that I guarantee they are going to complain about having leveled up too fast, even though they did it in a manner thats not supposed to work like that.

If he is level 50 why does all the spider mobs read level 12, and he is taking several blows to kill them?
