2730...

definitely a reminder that Bell Curve has those extreme ends out there too !!

I must admit, though, that the first thought I had about a score this high was that the guy must play like crazy and bot the hours he didn't play. But Darth_Trumpious' post did show my prejudice was ill-founded.

There simply are those extreme individuals in every walk of life. And that's really cool when you think about it.

Ashtaris · August 2016

I'm retired and have quite a bit of time where I can play ESO, but even then I've only managed to amass 700 CP's. I can't even imagine the grind that someone did to get up to 2700, sheesh!

BrianDavion · August 2016

am I missing something here? I thought we where capped at 530 for CPs?

That is amount you can spend. Nothing is stopping you from earning more, it just means you can't use more than 531CP.

Arthur_Spoonfondle · August 2016

To get to such a high number of CPs, one must need an extraordinarily high boredom threshold.

Nestor · August 2016

Anything much over the cap is a waste. I have, as of this morning, 87 wasted CPs. By the time the next update releases, I will still have about 87 wasted CPs.

It does not matter how many CPs someone has if they are over the cap, other than to be in a comfortable position to take advantage of the next cap increase either because they have the points or just a few to grind out.

Good thing that there is a cap how many you can actually use :-)

I have almost 690 CP and have not seen many players with more than 700. To be honest I know one in my guild with over 700 (because he has the most characters) and here and there a few in Deeshan and in PUG raids. Never saw one with over 1k. I am on PC.

Went back and found this. Thought ya'll might find it interesting. It is ESO-Live Episode 26, where Rich Lambert talks about why they set the CP level cap and about one player who Soloed Molog in IC Sewers!! By himself!! Anyway, Enjoy!

Being able to play on 28'' in WQHD (2560 x 1440) native Resolution, but even bumping it further by Nvidia DSR up to Ultra HD and ultra Settings. Running around 20 to 30 addons, the more stressfull AUI with Minimap and even MM in raids.

In PvE: 50 to 60 fps and 50-60 ms latency. No/reloadUI needed, using the 64 bit client.

This divides those awfull little boxes with downgraded grafics from the master race.

Such a box would just explode if it should bear the pressure of my modded TES 5 Skyrim or Fallout 4.

I cant believe Ophidian Overlord is that 2700 CP guys' best title. Also, the guy who solo'd molag bal in the sewers was Emperor at the time. It wasn't just the CP he has.

Define "best title". I know I always pick the title that I like the best for each of my characters to display, without caring at all about how difficult that title is to obtain. For example, I've got an orc character who uses the Hero of Wrothgar title because that's what fits that character the best - it's not a title that's difficult to get, but I don't care. I've got an argonian character (who I created shortly after launch, and who was always intended to be an assassin) who uses the Executioner title because that's what fits that character the best, even though that one doesn't exactly require much skill to get either.

Ophidian Overlord isn't bad it's just kind of dated. Now there are two new trials titles (Shehai Shatterer and Mageslayer). Flawless Conqeuror is better IMO, also any PVP title from like Palatine and up. And of course Dromathra Destroyer, which is the coolest and rarest title in game right now

Enemy-of-Coldharbour · August 2016

Sad thing is, the top folk will never get to use those points. They're grinding for nothing other than self pride.

You missed my point entirely. Not everyone gives a damn about what's the "coolest and rarest title" - a lot of people (I'm one of them) prefer other titles that are more suitable for their character. So when you say "I can't believe ____ is his best title" you're making a huge assumption that he thinks about titles in the way you do.

I usually only play a couple of hours each morning before I go to work when nobody else is up yet. Just a couple of hours each day and I am at 600+

Yes, and what's more interesting in my opinion are CP percentiles. @ZOS_RichLambert said to us at the tavern that the 95th percentile for CP is somewhere around the 500 mark (I don't recall the exact value) so if you have ~500 CP or higher you are in the top 5% of players. It may not seem that way to many but that's because we tend to sit around Craglorn/capital cities and only pay attention to the people we notice or play with friends who are around the same CP rank as us.

There are outliers, people with 10 CP and people with 2,730 CP, but most fit pretty neatly in the curve I expect.

Of course the maximum possible is 3600, so anyone claiming anything above that would definitely be blatantly lying even if Rich hadn't kindly told us the actual highest amounts anyone has.

Asardes · August 2016

What if they actually gave people who reach 3600 the right to spend them all?

Too many people would complain about them having an extreme advantage in PVP and trials and they would dominate the leader boards.

Seems like both of you are pretty casual players then. Certain titles are better than others because they are harder to attain. I just assumed the guy with 2700 CP would be some kind of beast player, not just casual and wearing titles that he thinks are pretty. To each their own.

Harder to obtain != better. Period. For anything that doesn't affect your performance in-game "better" is entirely subjective regardless of whether you're hardcore or casual. Seems like you're having trouble with the concept that your definition of "better" is only that: your definition.

But there is the aspect of "Title Rarity" also, i.e. for a long while "Master Angler" title was more rare than "Emperor". ( fyi... I still wear my MA proudly..lol). So titles aren't always valued at how "OP" your character is.
