Work for 2 years for CP and now on the same level as people who started a few weeks ago...

Level playing fields are the worst.

It is definitely ridiculous after all the time some of us have put into this game that new players can join and have everything we spent so much time on just handed to them on a silver platter.

Everything except the actual skill to win.

ZOS is doing a test to confirm if CP is the cause of LAG. It's one week test. This could lead them to discover performance issues with the CP system and fix them. This is a good thing.

They get the idea that cp is the cause because auras star has less lag. This is just because no one is in there because of the no cp xD

that's because the PVPers don't want to play in a no CP campaign, that's why it was empty

You ever see athletes training with extra weight strapped on to them? Or training in higher elevation?

Time to learn how to manage your resources without a CP crutch friends.

If you just adjust and keep an open mind, you will be a better PvP'er after this week is over.

Have you ever played on Azura's? On PC-NA it's the second-most populated pretty consistently.

All the best pvp games have been flat relying on a player building skill to drive progression.

I have 760 CP and play in the no CP campaign. Just seems more fun for some reason. Can't really say why.

Hey look, they are separating PvE from PvP now

So in the event that the devs find that no-CP improves gameplay in Cyrodill, does this become permanent? Just asking for a friend....

If only we had been telling them to do that for the last 3 years, maybe they would have done it sooner.

CP isn't removed in PvE. All your "hard work" is preserved. Unless you consider that ZOS increases the strength, power and armor of the mobs to compensate and that the entire CP system is just an illusion to make you feel like you are progressing. CP is a treadmill and you are on it.


As for PvP, I am sorry you are frustrated that you can no longer hit 25% harder, regen 25% faster, and take 20% less damage than new players. Must be challenging to have to fight on equal footing with everyone else.

As well as thousands more health, magicka and stamina, lots of beneficial passives, crit chance, crit damage, the lists goes on and on.

Honestly as a CP600+ when I see a CP 200 or less, I leave them alone, unless they are in a group with other CP 200's. Then I try take them all out at once. I figure it's a fair fight.

Is this on all consoles? Where do you get the information on these events that are coming or happening? I always seem to be behind on the latest news.... I didn't know about the Gold Coast drops or wrothgar until I ran into other players talking about it. Thanks for he help guys.

If there's any possibility that this could improve game performance in Cyrodiil, I can handle a week. In fact, I'll make it a point to play several times in Haderus to help them out.

bulbousb16_ESO

Darn, he'll have to learn to fight now!

Bigevilpeter

That makes PvP more about skill, not how much more you've been grinding.

however if you played longer u should have better gear and experience so there's that

Oreyn_Bearclaw

Our daily reminder that people will complain about anything. This is a test to try to improve performance. I for one am very happy they are doing this. If you cant handle it, take a week off for crying out loud. Also, if you wont help with the test, you have absolutely zero right to complain in the future. It's like the person who rants about the president but didnt vote. Your opinion is meaningless.

Also, no CP is super fun if you havent played it. Fights are much faster and skill will generally prevail. There are much worse things they could be making us do to test...

PlaceboSoul

Wait, what happened to my CP?

That's wrong, Azura is always pop-locked in PC EU.

andreasranasen

I don't understand the point with people commenting on how "bad cp players are" and all this bashing to people who prefer cp. Like do you want a cookie or something?

There's a reason why there's 1 non-cp campaign and 3 cp campaigns. Don't get it twisted.

Counter-Strike doesn't have levels (levels are only found in care bear games).

Yet someone who has played the game for 1000 hours will almost always be better than someone with 10 hours. Why? Because experience counts for something.

If you find yourself losing to new players when CP is equalized, then you aren't very good at the game.

No one will probably miss you.

For once, PvP is near good balance and it is time for real good players to shine. I'm guessing you'd need huge CP advantage over level 20 player?

Waffennacht

I guarantee those that don't have a problem with this either run a fotm build or doesn't realize the implications of what will be found out.

This creates incentive to once again run a proc heavy meta as resource management becomes more important. Hybrids become even more impossible, the cost reduction trees are extremely important to those.

Crit resistance becomes reduced, but not crit chance or many of the crit damage modifiers.

A crit leaning (especially for heals, and major/minor mending are again promoted- no defile enhancing cps) build with a proc set or two (aka fotm) are again promoted.

If CPs are the cause of the lag (which they probably are) most of us figure the "solution" will be to remove CPs from PvP.

Which completely destroys our end game. I haven't found PvE to be a challenge in over a year. It's just memorization of button patterns and joystick patterns - insanely boring to the point I literally fall asleep and wake up to a dead boss.

I'm not concerned about not being able to play - that's not a concern for any gamer, I'm concerned I'll become as bored and pigeonholed in PvP as I am in PvE.

So in 2 years of playing, you never learned how to play? Cause that's where you would be if you are on the same level as someone new.

It's 1 week, give it a shot. Some people who never thought they would may actually end up enjoying the no CP once they start to get used to it.

Didn't need to L2P, had plenty of CP to carry them to victory.

Some people have grinded from 1-50 in 4 hours lately.
But I finally pulled the trigger and bought another game. I've been getting tired of how 1 dimensional pvp has become in this game. Zerg or be zerged.

But, if they remove CP from pvp, then they need to be removed form the game completely. Maybe that will fix the lag that players are seeing in trials and in populated zones.

Or, maybe they could hire competant programmers, and build a system capable of running the game they made. But, I think its too late for that.

Maybe...

Switching off CP in PvP means they are investigating "balance".

Which usually means "Nerf Hammer"

FelixTheCatt

"Hard work". Laughable. It's a game. Nothing you do is real. That 30 foot monster you killed...fake!

Also , welcome to ANY mmo ever. Things change. Get over yourself. Your snowflake is still special.

Palidon

Quit complaining. If you can't handle not having any CP in Cyrodiil for one week then stay out of Cyrodiil until the CP is put back. Seems the ones that are complaining can't play without it.

sevomd69

Well actually... you have the same amount of CP as people who started today...
