Agreed. Please make templates with max CP.

NVNiko · February 2016

Agreed---Why do we have to respec on live just so we can compare our builds to the PTS????

Slayyer-AUS · February 2016

agreed

iRogue32 · February 2016

Agreed. There is no reason players should not be at the cap on a TEST server

JavaWhoDat · February 2016

Agreed, we already cannot spend all our points so please give us our cap or what is currently available.

JavaWho · February 2016

Agreed CP should be at cap or whatever amount they have leading to cap.

FeaR Turbo · February 2016

Hardcore players can set it to max, and people that aren't at cap can have the choice to set it to where they are or see how 501 cp feels like with the new sets. WIN WIN

What do mean?..... surely we only need 75 CP for the sake of testing!

jks, 300 is a joke! If people are below cap and want to test a replica of their character, they can simply use less CP than has been allotted, but someone at the current cap would need to grind an additional 201 CP in order to replicate their current circumstance... hardly seems legit.

Hit the nail on the head!

I would say most of the endgame players who actually test new content on the PTS would have more than 300 CP. Dont see any reason to not have atleast what the new cap will be with templates. Especially with the testing of new armor sets, mechanics, trials.

I don't think there is a new cap with this update.... the new cap is with the DB update I believe

Highly agree.

501 CPs was #1 on my PTS Template Requests, and it would definitely be the most useful to be able to test with as many options as possible. There must be a reason why they're only giving 300 though; for example, maybe they want to know how it feels to run the content with 300 CPs. For the templates, testing "the content" as an average player is presumably more important to ZOS than testing "your build" on the content. That's what the character copies are for.

Well, no changes will happen today. Earliest would be for EU character copy.

Might actually be a good move by ZOS. You're supposed to test stuff on the PTS, not to find the new meta build for your character(s).

I thought the point of the PTS was to find potentially problematic and broken mechanics and enable ZoS to fix them before we are stuck with them for a year like what happened with 1.6.

Battle Spirit changes, CP imbalance, perma-dodge rolling, perma-blocking, shield stacking, etc., all of this was pointed out in the 1.6 process when ZoS removed cp caps.

Xjcon · February 2016

If we get used to it on the PTS with 300, we will face roll it with 501.

Ghostbane · February 2016

Surely the cap would be 552 in this update?

Love Wizard · February 2016

I still wonder why people write threads critizing Zenimax's decision making ability , as they will never care or do anything about it. Nevertheless, I don't understand either why they will cap us at 300, makes no sense.

deathscythe · February 2016

umm, couldn't you just get your main to the champion point cap when they do the copy to PTS? then use a template to get all the stuff to test with?

JavaWho · February 2016

Reasoning for a 501 CP cap is not to test ones build, but to be able to test what is currently called the hardest 12 man content this game has ever seen. We are not only testing the thieves guild line but the 12 man trial that comes with it. Many of us have become accustom to playing at cap.

I am willing to rotate my CP points down to 300 to test content, but to get far enough along to test the mechanics, abilities and possible glitches of the 12 man trial it would be nice to have our 501 CP.

Saturn · February 2016

Templates will have 300, because they want to test that people with 300 cps can still do the trial.

NTclaymore · February 2016

The PTS is to test the contents and test for bugs. It isnt some "I wanna test this build out im gonna switch to right away when it comes to live" I think its set below the cap because that represents most players. (i assume its based on their info about the average CPs) The PTS isnt an Early Acces build. Its to test contents and report results so its as duoable as possible to as many as possible when the update goes live. Im not saying the templates are perfect. They never been. But they are not min/max build testers.

FeaR Turbo · February 2016

You can test with CP cap, if you have your toons and are at cap, even on a template. All good till we lose our toons.

Addihul · February 2016

I 13th this! Plz raise the template cap to 501 for testing purposes.

I agree - I don't have 501 CP, but the best way of me testing stuff and getting a feel for skill, champion, and combat changes (if I have to use a template rather than a character copied from live), is to be able to make a replica of that character so that I can see the difference between performance on live and PTS.

So for me, I would spend 420 CP on a template character which is what I have on live, to best be able to compare changes to my class and skills, I would leave other CP unspent. Only having 300 would not give me a good basis for performance comparison.
