Champion Point Cap

booksmcread

So, they said that they wouldn't raise CP cap with TG DLC, but would with DB. But now they went back on their decision to raise the CP cap with this DLC. Why, what gives? Do they not want character progression?

They want people to quit

Probably the same reason they didn't raise it for TG.

They want X% of people to be at YCP or higher.

Or, they want to "average" CP to be Z.

Something like that.

DjSolJAH

They want $$$$ nothing else

I find this decision odd. Especially considering diminishing returns. I would also assume that the XP per CP formula would be partially based on cap such that increasing the cap would decrease the amount of CP need to get for second CP, for example.

The only think I can think of is that they are having problems scaling content and need to come up with a system before they add more CP to the mix. But raising CP cap when removing VR seems like complimentary moves.

I think they don't want to raise it because they need to figure out how badly the screwed up the balance in the game with all the skill changes they have made first.

@DaveMoeDee Yes the formula take the Cap into account when deciding how much CP you need. It's one of the few things Zos has actually released the formula for!

((TotalPoints / (Cap ^ 0.995)) + 0.085) * 400000

If you exceed the cap: (((TotalPoints / (Cap ^ 0.995)) + 0.085) * 400000) * 1.5

I think that ZOS wants EVERYONE to be the same level. This way it is way EASIER for them to develop new content.

I would have sworn that the cap was said to be raised with DB and now not?

Yes, the claimed it would be raised every DLC prior to TG then after TG was released they claimed it would be raised in DB....

I'm pretty sure they are not raising the cap for the PTS but will be raising it when it goes live.

nope, this won't happen. This question was already answered by kay schober in the german forum.

I have not been able to spend a champion point since 1 week after the Imperial City hit the live server, @ZOS_RichLambert can you suggest a reason why I should continue playing? Seriously, the whole point of the champion system was nearly endless character progression, if you intend to never raise the cap please just say so.

Why do people keep complaining about the Champion Points Cap.

I also have over 501 cp, but, for goodness sake, do you feel that you should be far more superior than players that have just got to 501? Skill springs to mind.

You should be 'competitive' already, and raising the caps 'in theory' you should still be competitive, and as good as you already are lol

You are still earning them, so at some point you get to spend them

elium85

@boony The issue is that point may be years and years from now (or never at the rate ZOS is going). It just doesn't feel like progression; it feels like false hope.

Do you people understand the big change and possible bugs that are coming with the VR removal? If they raise the cap the madness could go to infinite limits. They need to see first how does it works.

Why are some people that obsessed with cp? Once you have 50 more cp to spend...do you think you are gonna have a char that different???

Enjoy the game(the game is not just an stupid cp grind) or just leave. Believe me,zos wont notice. You can play other games in the meantime.

Also a new tier of material - gear improvement seemed to be planned for this DLC or a following one.
Considering all the changements and especially the VR one, I agree with @RazielSR that it was better to limit the scope without altering tiers and CPs.
Imho this decision is also to have the whole community (PC&Mac, PS, Xbox) at a closer level of CP, so the balancement for difficulty/challenge of new contents will be the same for every platform.

P.s. anyway, before raising the CP cap, the infinite enlightenment bug should be fixed.
