CP causes imbalance in PvP? Here's a fix

Asmael · August 2015

So, i've been wandering the forums for quite some time, and after seeing the (approx.) 5.000th post about "how CP are making PvP so imba"...

Why not just make some PvP CP and PvE CP?

PvP CP can be earned while killing other players only.
PvE CP only works outside Cyrodiil.

As an option, PvP CP can be used outside Cyrodiil and is stacked to PvE CP.

No more zombies grind. You wanna get extra stats in Cyro? Do some PvP and kill players, not some random brainless zombies.

Of course it would require resetting the PvP CP to 0 to make things fair, and I'm pretty sure that because of this, I'll receive all the hate from CP farmers, but, heh, I can take it

I'm also pretty sure Zenimax has pretty much no reason to do this, since a lot of people would be so frustrated of this they'd just quit. I guess I would as well if I was in their shoes, but you don't exactly get what you want everyday.

Your thoughts?

Why not just remove CP effects from Cyrodiil?

As much as I would want it to be so. Pvp is not entirely seperated from pve. Urgh. Pve sets, exp grind, crafting (i count that as pve), etc... Neither is pve seperated from pvp. So... Bad idea because of the aforementioned reason. Seperate pvp and pve entirely or not at all. No halfsies

If I get xp for killing npcs in cyrodiil, would they count as pve or pvp xp? And what about xp from quests in cyrodiil?

In my oppinion it would be better to add some limits to the cp you can use.

I get plenty of CP by PvPing in Cyrodiil.
Please stop perpetuating the myths guys.

There are plenty of people who refuse to PvE and they have over 300 CP.
There are also people who have disabled their CP to see how much a difference it makes in their ability to kill people. This fear mongering is really getting out of control.

Thinking again on it, RIP that suggestion, as it would only solve the CP issue on short term.

Someone suggested a catch up mechanic, which sounds better. Now to see how things would look like.

Thanks for your input.

They need to cap CP in Cyro, or remove the system in Cyro and replace it with another option. Because ZOS doesn't have the time/resources to make additional content, this is the only time dump they could come up with. That's why they're ignoring imbalance.

It's not imbalanced.

People whining about CP is ridiculous. Play the game earn your CP. Everyone wants everything for free without putting forth effort. There are no participation medals in ESO... Moreover the damage in PvP has been nerfed into ticklefights. The biggest sluggard could hamfist his keyboard and still find it too forgiving. CP is not an issue, especially now.
