Please don't raise the gear level cap with the Morrowind expansion.

I can't take grinding all of my gear all over again.

I guess I should feel blessed that I have such terrible RNG luck

But I understand your pain

I think it is a toss up.
Remember, this is going to bring a ton of people back from both pve and pvp perspective. Plus, a lot of new people.
They may not want to increase cap because it will increase gap for those players. My guess would be the dlc after that.
But this does seem like the best opportunity to do so. But with pvp arena rewards it will be a fun grind

Ajaxduo

Hmm but the thought of re grinding undaunted sets, maelstrom weapons and trial sets is just...riveting! *sarcasm*

Has this been confirmed anywhere? Or is this just speculation? I did a quick search but I didn't see any dev comments on the matter yet. My sub renewal is coming up. Need to know if I should stick with it or not.

I dont want gear level to increase either, i just wwant all styles to be usable, especially basic racial loww level styles.

Ulfgarde

It's most likely, but not confirmed. I hope it does happen. More money for gold mats.

Speculation. It's fun haha.

That said, probably don't believe a lot of what you hear over next few months unless it comes straight from the devs.

I'd like to think if there was a cap increase, ZOS would have mentioned it. They're so out of touch, they probably think it's a good thing and would want to use it as a selling point.

They will keep releasing info over time. I'm sure they are still trying to leave the door open for changes and not commit to it just yet.

Tabbycat

You know you will be making the new Warden class so you're going to have to grind out all that stuff anyway.

Might as well go whole hog.

SleepyTroll

I hope they do.

This is the only thing that would make me quit the game.

Unless they make it possible to raise current gear to the new cap, or made all gear tradable, I'm out. No way am I spending hundreds of hours grinding all BiS gear again. I'm fine with having to grind new stuff occasionally (while my old gear is still viable), but forcing me to grind everything again from scratch would be a step too far.

If they want to go the gear treadmill route, they'll need to drastically reduce the amount of grind required for BiS gear (through a smart loot or token system). It currently takes 500-1000+ hours to grind a full set of BiS gear. It doesn't take that long in any other game (except maybe Korean MMO trash).

Upgrading your gear is the easy part.

The bigger problem is farming it. Imagine having to farm vMA weapons, monster shoulders, dungeon body sets, and trial weapons all over again. That's 500-1000+ hours right there. Do you want to do all that again?

IMO this expansion makes the perfect time increase gear cap, its an MMO and people want that sense of advancement.. Cap did not increase since IC DLC.. Thats over a year ago

Also why to increase cap with this expansion not later? There will be new gear coming along- new trial- and its not a smart idea to make it drop CP160 gear and 3 months later CP200 gear..

The only people who want that are casual players who don't min-max. Endgame players hate gear grind.

If it took 100 hours to grind a full set of BiS gear in this game, I wouldn't have any problems with a raise to the cap. But the current system requires hundreds, if not thousands of hours. That's hundreds of hours you need to spend grinding before you can be competitive in endgame PvE content and PvP.

What if the gear of the next tier is only craftable

Maybe a system where you can refine your gear via crafting to make them better.

That would be amazing, but it's a pipe dream. One Tamriel was a shift in how ZOS views gear, and clearly they want us to farm it.

You would have to be horrible at math and have no clue how the scaling system works to think that a gear cap increase is an advancement. It's a step backward with a grind to get back to where you were before because everything scales to cap in this game. That's the reason a gear cap increase doesn't work here.

joshjda

I would like to know if they are going to because if they are I'll save the $40 and quit rng is hellish after 2 years i still don't have all the stuff i wanted NO WAY IN HELL will i grind it all back out again.

Hi, I'm a casual player who doesn't min-max and I hate gear grind and don't want the cap to increase. Want to make a slightly less broad generalization?

Blackbird_V

I and so many others will leave if they do this, without a way to upgrade current existing gear. If they don't then RIP game, seriously.

Shadow_Viper_vX

If they do raise it? Cool

If they do not raise it? Cool

Either way I'm good.

FuriousFridge

Already said they were not doing it in morrowind.

flizomica

they've already said it's not being raised, and if they do ever raise it, it will be done in a meaningful way so that people wont have to grind for the same gear again

idk

@arkansas_ESO

Zos has already said no increase to level cap.

SHADOW2KK

There has been numerous official mentions by ZoS stating that gear cap will not be raised with Morrowind.

There is this amazing forum feature cunningly named Search, and ya shall find the intel you need.

Imagine that
