When is CP180 gear coming?

It wouldn't surprise me at all if they did. However I see no reason to increase the cap with housing right around the corner. Usually level caps are done for gold sink and power increase for new content. But with housing that will entail so much gold that we won't need any real gear increase. They can always adjust level caps and adjust current gear values at the same time for new harder content.

ESO is reaching the point in CP and Gear where any increases in value only makes the game worse. Severely inflated stats and resources doesn't make for an overall friendly game. For those who were around think of the CP 3600 fiasco when 1.6 was on the testing server.

Bro I was a *** GOD that week. We're slowly heading in that direction though. The only thing to stop it is another CP system setback like when it originally came out. I'm not sure which way is going to *** more people off.

Don't know if anyone mentioned earlier, but imo if they ever wanted to do a cap rise on gear One Tamriel was a perfect time to do it. They implemented so many new gear that everyone is grinding gear now, one way or the other.
If they did it for 1T i wouldn't mind it one bit, but if they do it on next patch, then ZoS is beginning to troll us on a whole new level.

Possibly a means by which a fully leveled crafter could upgrade a legendary item to a higher level using other materials. This seems reasonable enough especially if it requires us to complete some of the new content to acquire the 'upscaling' material in the first place.

They'd also like a way to change the styles of the item as well.

Considering that Telel has DOZENS of sets they've spent much time nad gold in acquiring they're not sure if they could maintain an interest in this game if they were to suddenly become obsolete. Hopefully ZOS learned their lesson from the relase of IC when they did pretty much that and drove away a number of players.

Khajiit would be fine if Khajiit would stop talking like such an absolute nerd!!

This one suggests you nor be so self concious about your speaking methods. Instead focus on the greatness of what being like the humble khajiit brings to your life.

Also, maybe add some variety in there. 'Khajiit would be fine if this one' rolls from the tongue far better than repeated uses of that most sublime of species names.

I'll parrot what other's have said, because its exactly what I was going to say, "Hopefully never." I'm not a big proponent of gear hamster wheels. I play a game for the joy of the game.

Zyn

Never again.

V10, V12, V14, V16/CP160, CP....Time to find a new game

RadioheadSh0t

Hopefully never.

If they do, it might be my last straw with this game, I don't have the time to farm new mats and gear for all of my characters, and I've already had to regear to their changes more than enough in my time in this game since beta.

I'm fine with a cap increase as long as they provide a way to upgrade our current items to the new cap AND add new items at that new cap, but ultimately with the scaling of all the gear right now, it seems kinda pointless. It would be easier to just add new sets gated behind new content than a gear level increase.

americansteel

ppl constantly rebuilding gear for a new motif have no problem with that but have a problem with 180? HA

I hope we see 180gear.

i rather see a massive nerf to proc sets and stam, as my templa keeps seeing.

Kas

every other patch means incredible amounts of grinding. don't really care if the reason is increased cp, newly added set, or just balance changes. tbh i think improved / new super-strong crafted sets + CP180 would be less work than farming sharpenend drop weapons right now

that said, i don't really think an increase is needed anytime soon.

A new motif is an option, cp180 gear will be mandatory, especially if it comes with the massive power increase that v14-v16 did.

kevlarto_ESO

The last word I heard from Lambert at the last convention they were at he said, they have no plans of increasing the level cap on armor anytime soon and is they did it would be a small increment, he said he understands that it is not fun redoing your armor, if they have changed from that I have not heard it, and unless I hear something directly form ZOS I take everything else with a little caution.

Astanphaeus

I don't care too much if the gear cap is increased, though I definitely think it is unnecessary. But if it is done, please don't do it at the same time as housing comes out or even the richest people will go broke.

Altercator

Never.

I have heard alarming reports that gear cap will be increased to cp180 in the near future

Yeah I heard it was data mined many many months ago. But that could just mean it has been in discussion by devs for future content and is somewhere on Rich Lambert's white board timeline of possible additions over the next 2 years. Doesn't necessarily mean its being added next patch or even at all, unless there is some new source of info you've heard.

why and when would be a more appropriate time to enact such a thing?

Preferably when CU is in the end stages of beta.

Should never happen

Impromptu poll: who here would likely stop playing if they increased the gear cap?

I've easily got ten million gold invested in my CP 160 gear, there's no way I'd start over from scratch.

the endless grind to acquire these nearly 50 new sets- not to mention the gold sink required to do so.

Let's be serious, there were really only like 5 or 6 sets that are worth anyone's time, and 2 or 3 monster sets that mattered. CP180 is the least of this game's problems. As far as PvP goes, the biggest concern remains the stupidity of idiotic tank builds that reward players who don't have a quick wit about them and...

exploiters and cheat engine players

BTW (on that same note) say hi to your friends in Haxus and your German friend for me

And your other friends who don't know how to play other than using tanky builds that have high self-healing and shield mechanisms while wearing the latest in cheese sets...you know, the icy, cold players...the ones some might even say are frozen

Players on this board are such a joke. I regret coming back here already.

EDIT: See you back in PvP after Wrobel is fired. I had your back for a little while but you have *** it up royally again.

EDIT 2: Edited for clarity

JDar

I just don't get it Jules. You always run with cheaters. You always know what the cheesiest crap in PvP is. You always post on this board like some kind of injustice is being done to you and your friends. What are you unhappy about?

Brrrofski

If they do, hopefully it comes with a system where you just need to use some of the new mats to upgrade your current stuff. I old live either that.

Farming all the stuff I have now again? No way. I'll just stop playing.

Skinzz

I am not refarming maelstrom again hell no!

DHale

Source?

Bryanonymous

What could be fair is that they do an increase but all 160cp gear gets converted to that cap instantly. While the thought of the grind sucks, as a crafter who sells a lot of the sets I advertise in my signature, an increase would net me bank. Therefore, I am now indifferent, though a cap increase would be pointless.

Surely they aren't stupid enough to raise it to CP180 right after adding 30 new sets and 17 undaunted sets.

FYI This is ZOS we're talking about... just sayin'

Enodoc

I hope it's not soon, but when it does happen, I hope it's at least to 200 CP (not 180), so that it's a bit more meaningful.

umagon

All they would have to do is script a "buff" that automatically upgrades all gear, enchants, etc to the current max camp point limit and legendary grade while inside pvp areas. In another game I play they have this system, so it doesn't matter what grade of items you bring into pvp areas they get upgraded. And this works nicely because players who want to mostly pvp don't have to pve farm to do so.

To put in eso sense all one would need is the base green item sets then just go into pvp, no mat farming, no worrying about not having the best gear. Plus there would be increased build flexibility because all of the useless green and blue items become useful and valuable for pvp. However knowing zos they will add the 180cp or whatever it will be update and pay wall it like they did with wrothgar

Do not underestimate them in this regard.

Crown

CP180 gear will be released once greater than 75% of regular players are in full gold CP160 gear, and have not spent more than 2 hours per week in a known grind. That will trigger the CP180 update in the next patch.

Publius_Scipio

There is no way this game is going to stay with the same amount of mats it currently has. New zones will come and along with them will come new higher level mats. Everyone knows this.

As far as grind goes, Since the update I just been floating around having fun. If you worried about the grind with new gear level cap that's for you and your own OCD to discuss.

Satiar

I suspect CP 180 gear will come out the moment you (yes, YOU) finally get that sharpened sword of you were looking for.
