Should CPs Really Carry Over to New Characters?

Chrysa1is

Just a question. Keep it friendly. I just want a decent fair discussion. I'm also unaware of any other threads like this, so don't shoot me yeah? Please leave your reasons as to why you voted what you did.

I personally think that a new character should mean a total new start and CPs shouldn't carry over because its way too easy to have a new max level character available once you hit level 50. In light of the new Warden class due to be released, we're going to see a lot of threads about the Warden being OP until it gets balanced, because people will have CP600 Wardens. This isn't just about the new class though. The overall post is mostly just about new characters and whether CPs should carry over.

Are you insane?

Yes...

Yup.

I would never make an alt, ever, if I had to restart CP...

redspecter23

Yes

I was surprised in the beginning that CP would be usable from level 1. I'm used to it now. The leveling process is a few hours or maybe a couple nights if you want to go fast. It's basically a non issue unless you want it to be. You hit level 50 and you're good to go. If ZOS wants me to have my 600cp for those couple hours while I grind up a new toon, who am I to argue.

Now if instead you are arguing that I should have to regrind all my CP on each new character I make, you are out of your freaking mind.

The same as achievements & skill points should. But NOPE. You have to grind them all over again on new character...

NewBlacksmurf

Yes

Yes. Shrug the only issue is removing Vr permanently via items level designations.

Which is right I think. New character = new game.

Azurulia

Yes

Why should it not?

AnviOfVai

Yes

I'm not going through the hell of leveling mu characters from Vet again.. I had a Vet 7 and a Vet 4 and when Champion points transferred over I was so happy.

dsalter

Yes

but tbh CP are to damn strong by default, they contribute to much to the power creep i personally want their impact halved.

Chrysa1is

No

So many votes and no reasons guys come on. Unless the Yes' give reasons then I feel like i'll be left to assume is because its just like selecting easy mode because it won't be as hard to level up again.

LordGavus

Yes

I've done the vet rank leveling, not going back.

phairdon

Yes

leveling characters and/or repeating all the quests is one thing. Imagine the agony of grinding your way through all the CP levels again

Didgerion

Yes

And the quests progression too!!! And lore books and sky shards!!!

Rolling an alt is so painful (It used to be more painful I know)

Do you know the Skip Harborage - Y/N dialog at the beginning of the game? - Zos seriously should extend that functionality!!

pmn100b16_ESO

This be one mascohistic poll here

Hard? lol. Don't confuse difficulty with grind. It wouldn't be hard to get 600 cp on each new character. I'd have to take out a lease on a room inside Skyreach Catacombs for the rest of my life getting all my toons back to 600 cp again and that's if I even wanted to bother. The current system is balanced for account bound CP and is very alt friendly. What you're asking for is the death of all alt characters and shows your EXTREME lack of understanding of why CP is account bound to start with.

Chrysa1is

No

I wouldn't mind because its a new character. And id have something to do, as opposed to already having a max character.

It would also stop players with CP600 characters challenging genuine new players with their level 10 but (secretly 600CP) for wins and proceeding to act cool and big up their egos in chat.

Asmael

Yes

I'd like for alts to be a thing without a stupid mega-grind barrier each time I want another one.

Already have to go thru alliance war, skyshards, lorebooks and undaunted (even crafting for some), so thank you very much, but no thanks.

Is this really an issue?

DannyLV702

Sooooo in other words, you voted no because it breaks your immersion.

AlexanderDeLarge

Yes

Even if you think that "new character = new game", trust me, it's for the best. With a new class coming and another rumored to be coming in 2018, I'd like to see those classes actually exist because no current player would drop their champion points to play a new class.

Did you get beat down by a lv10 or something?

Tabbycat

Yes

There are a lot of people that enjoy playing only one character. When Morrowind comes out, if they want to play Warden they will have to start over again (unless ZOS offers class change in the crown store which seems unlikely,). For them, it simply makes sense to let them carry over cp since they will have to grind their characters to max and redo everything anyway.

For the rest of us who are altaholics, it's just a bonus.

And there's a problem with that, if that be the case?

Ugh, comments like this...

If you can't focus on the poll question and leave constructive criticism or reasons and examples as to why you voted what you did. Please don't bother.

ZiRM

Yes

Umad cuz peeps voting yes?!

Ch4mpTW

Yes

Having to grind over 600 per character... OMFG. Please no. Never.

idk

Yes

I think few would disagree about CP being account based as it currently is.

However I do understand some fearing the warden will be OP since we don't know anything about it ATM. Even once it comes out it'll take some awhile to figure out how to combat some player builds which will bring about threads calling for a nerf even if one isn't warranted.
