501 the magic number

Will we ever see CP cap raised

You decide!

FIGHT ( I mean discuss your opinion about this decision )

personally I think it's a bad move, TG, sure it might have been smart giving ppl a chance to catch up, but with the cake many and i mean MANY ppl hit cap so what now?

Seraseth

I thought they decided to raise cap when a certain % of ppl were capped?

What I don't get is a vet dungeon being 160cp,

At max CP won't they be a cake walk?

Aerius_Sygale

This is such bullcrap. I'm at 728 CP, but I'm never allowed to frickin' get stronger, what's the point!? -_- Just playing the game to hang out chatting with friends over voice chat more than anything at this point... That personality thing sounds potentially cool though, depending on the changes to animations.

Wollust

Crap decision.

Yeah they need to raise the mobs CP level long before they think about raising the player CP level. The game is already way easy at max CP, raising it any further would create some serious PvE balance issues unless there were significantly tougher mobs.

Gear will still be 160 cp. It should all feel the exact same as it does now.

Does your health, magicka, and stamina still go up incrementally past 501 CP?

It said in the patch notes that they will be increasing it with future DLC. I personally would rather the level cap increase I mean lvl 50 forever just feels so crap.

Smolt

Seriously is a dumb move... especially after saying that they would raise it by 50 cp in the db patch in their eso live. Now we aren't even getting the tiny raise that was promised? Lame.

No, because the little boost is applied as the points are applied, and I haven't been able to apply any new Champion Points in forever... *sigh*

I'm happy with it. It stops a huge power difference between old and new players, thus enabling grouping to still be a thing and letting new players have some fun as well. Also, I hate grinding, I would be happy if 501 was cap and just stayed cap forever. I just wanna play the game, not grind all day in order to be competitive.

They offered a week of 100% xp boost, it's been literally months and months since last cap raise, PLUS they added in an OP catch-up mechanics, and we're still worried about new players catching up on CP?

phairdon

I'm sitting on about 420and care little how long its going to take to hit the cap. When I do, providing the cap is not raised by that stage, I'll continue to play the game as I beforehand. With the goal of playing to enjoy without focusing on CP.

They aren't going to increase the level cap after chopping off 15 levels. It would be absurd to make people re-level characters after removing levels.

DaveMoeDee

They shouldn't wait for people to catch up. If they bump the cap, I assume that would make accrual below the old cap even faster. I am assuming that the accrual rate is based on a formula that includes the cap number.

Ampnode

501 is that golden number, imo. At least for PvP. Best not to have walking demi-gods like we did before. As long as they keep the cap at 501 for just PvP, I'd be fine with it getting bumped up in PvE.

STEVIL

They will raise it in time, maybe linked with DLC maybe just as an interim change.

I am over cap now and it doesn't bother me one bit.

First i want to see how the new rebalanced content is.

Then i will know more.

Funny because the Thieves Guild patch notes said the same so my point stands, will they just say the same thing with the next DLC? " We will increase the CP cap in future DLC" and then just keep it at 501 in Q3 also... ( see where I am going with this )

The way it feels now is that there's no character progression. Was hoping that feeling would change with this update.

Recremen

They might just raise it a boatload next patch, who knows. Was looking forward to playing with more of them, but that's the hand we were dealt this time around.

Detector

I have 648 CP.
Need more useless champion points! =(

If I understand the "Zos Speak" behind all this...when they raise the CP cap the dungeon will then scale up again to the CP level of the group leader...but I could be wrong, I often am

I was moving house the cake week, I have around 400 something CP. Glad it's staying the same, damage after DB is going to be insane.

I didn't play during the cake week either, at around 420ish CP but I will still have 501 before DB comes so my point stands... the fact that it was not raised for TG and not getting raised for DB is the reason why people like you and I are not rushed to get to 501.THAT is a problem mate...

VagabondAngel

Reality bites; ZoS are not at all interested in pacifying veteran players, they want to attract new players. Its about turnover not sitting stock. The fact that if you have more than 1 max level character you get screwed, just like when cp were first introduced, is a good indication of that premise.

I'm not even a grinder but have been at the cap for months and am about to get royally screwed for having 4 VR16s, only one of which will count for the cp swap. I been a subscriber since day 1 and never missed a month but I don't matter in the current business model.

What does the future hold for long time max level players?

"Well, we have some nice quests you can play through."

Cheers. BDO is starting to actually look good at this point.

Mush55

ESO the new no progression game, lvls removed , no cp increase, no new dungeons .

Lots to look forward to more questing YAY the joy...

a1x23

As a mostly pvp player i have no problem with the choice not to raise cp cap. I currently only have 335 cp because you get crap xp from pvp. Now that you will gain more xp from pvp (from offensive/defensive ticks) i would be happy to see an increase in the next patch.

spawn_to_kill

please raise it as you said you would with this dlc

TiberX

Bad move! First they say its a way for people to progress with CP then they keep it locked for 1 year. Clearly a mistake and a slap on the face of people who play 2-3 days a week
