I'll tell you one thing I didn't realize that annoyed me after this last update is that even once players hit max CP they get to keep earning CP that unlocks the moment the next patch is released. All the 561's log on for Homestead and are instantly CP600. They need to either increase the rate lower CP is earned a lot more than where it's at now or at the very least stop letting current max CP players leapfrog every CP increase.

Not all the 561's made it to 600 in the time, the guild shows 561 as the cap but really they could have been 601+++

If they were above 600 already before the upgrade, then yes they would be 600 instantly, as when morrowind comes out if it turns into 700 cp, whoevers above that will get it instantly.

Hallothiel

If you want the CP then go play & earn it. That's what everyone else has done. Ffs.

And so what if the cap increases and people already are at it? Having max CP does not necessarily mean you are a good player.....

And you don't need max points to play end game stuff - especially if mainly playing pvp.

So first, let me say, I love this game. I've probably spent over $3k in the crown store (I have a good job, and I like the convenience items). And I'm also very good at it (PVP)

HOWEVER.

I haven't played in about 2 months, and I don't plan on it until, somehow, CP is overhauled. I expect to be flamed endlessly by probably 90% of people who read this, but it is impossible to balance a full-time job, gym, social life and a relationship, and get max CP in ESO

And plz don't give me "oh you can grind up to 600CP in like 300 hours with XP gear and scrolls", I know that.

I wanna know WHO TF has 300 hours to spare before they can play endgame content of a game they love?

Not happy ZOS

1) Full-time job: check
2) gym = sports : check (I'm a recreative semi long-distance runner (16-21km))
3) social life = check
4) relationship = double check (having a wife and a toddler)
5) max CP in eso = check (currently already ok for next raise
6) playing endgame = check

I'am playing 6 days a week max 3,5 hours/day, and at the moment I'm in main group of two decent raiding guilds (yes, not Omnia Vincit or Hodor, I know); I'll do maelstrom at least twice a weak. Do some dungeons, some lag-free PvP from time to time. Daily writs on two characters... (It is doable. The hardest part is to catch in with the CP-cap.)

For the info, I have a great relationship and a superb contact with my son (who loves his dad as well); have good friends (that don't play on computer); working from 8AM - 16:30 PM; do things like get my son from school, cooking diner, clean up my house, take care of the garden, paying bills, do family trips,...

All these things go well together with playing ESO at evenings. Do have to admit I am that lucky guy that don't have to watch stupid tv-programs with my girl...

In the end... it is more as doable man..

Beardimus

I'm with this guy ^ I play VERY casually. took me 8 months to hit VR16 but i'm CP600.

Sure you'll need to do some different content but man CP is SO easy to get fast now. Maelstorm / Towns in Cyro if you don't want to leave PVP.

Like others said if you rock at PVP you don't need the CP. If you are struggling then put some effort in to earn some XP and you'll be up several hundred in no time

$3k? You must have every single item ever surely?

I think we're meant to be impressed. Or something... idk.

So many haters.

Some of us don't play the game like no lifers. You didn't 'earn' anything. Playing a game is not "work".

Some of us takes breaks. Grinding to 600CP takes quite a bit of time. ZOS IS fragmenting their community with this treadmill. All so those at the top can feel special. New players hit 50 and now they look and see they have to hit 600 CP....That's kind of a depressing task if you play a few times per week.

I use to be CP cap but life has a way of pulling you away from games. Hats off to those who commit 3-8hrs a day every day. But remember, not everyone wants to live in the virtual world, especially for a mundane paragon system.

GreenhaloX

That would be something, to be able to purchase CP from the crown store, right.. Bunch of newbies running around with maxed out CP.. ha ha. Sadly, there are much more to ESO than having all your allotted CP, though. Won't do anybody any good, if you have all CP, but still don't know what the heck you are doing in the game. Ha ha.

We get a 1.5x penalty on XP required for a Champion point if we are above the cap.

We earn CP just by playing the game. I'm somewhere around 750CP now and I don't grind ever. All I do is take part in guild events and do writs and the occasional

And some of us don't care about CP and just play the game as we see fit. If you don't have the time of the inclination to grind to max CP, don't stress about it. Just play as you like. Will you get into vMoL groups? Probably not unless they know you are a very good player. Other than that, what content can you not do at CP 160 or 300 that you can at 600?

t3hdubzy

Im 32, have 2 kids, work full time and typically only play when everyone is asleep. Im max CP, and almost exclusively play pvp. In fact i got to vr16 in strictly pvp before finding out about monster sets and dailies.


Just sayin.

PS4_ZeColmeia

I've been playing since PS4 launch, I in the 1T update finally hit max cp. Here's a few tips:

• Make sure you play in game events, you get double xp that stacks with xp pots/scrolls
• Don't go longer than your enlightened max before you play again if you can help it so you are always getting the best xp possible
• If you are going for xp, your best bet is to grind PvE till your enlightened state is up
• make an alt, grind them to 50, then do quests (especially story quests) you will get the largest cp increase returns from quests. If you're like me that did everything on 1 character first, then you need an alt to get quests easily.

Video games are for people who don't have any of that. Stop complaining.

But there is flaws in the CP system is merely all I lobby

Have you done any PvP this week? There are no CPs in the campaigns so you can get a taste of what that would be like.

Also, since you spend in the Crown Store, always play under the Exp Scrolls, the CPs will accumulate faster than you think without all that much time invested. I play maybe an hour or two a night and have gone from 700 to 728 CPs in the past month, and this is a rate of almost 800K Exp per point. More than triple what you need. And, I took more than a week off. If I had been playing your character I would have gone from 300 to almost 400 in the same amount of time. And, I ain't grinding, if anything, I am puttering around and smelling the flowers.

Also, zones like Wrothgar hand over the Quest and World Boss Exp like you would not believe. If you do a World Boss Tour with a Good Group, on an Experience Scroll, you will gain 4 to 6 CPs in 40 minutes at your level.

I know you you did not want to hear about "grinding". But, the above is not grinding in the traditional sense.

Good thing you don't play anything that has a season mechanic to it.

I hear you OP; but it isn't really that bad if you just get out of your own way and play the game. I came back to the game late December after leaving sometime around when CP were introduced along with VR levels. Kind of popped in every now and then and felt I had to grind and would leave feeling like I wasn't able to play the game I liked.

When I came back; a lot had changed, I was at CP 175-ish points. I joined a guild and was grinding a couple of time but then just joined them for PvP in CP enabled campaigns. It was rough sub-200 but I had fun. We wound up in AS eventually and I had even more fun and I have pretty much just been playing and not worrying about it; just doing a little grinding here maybe to relax solo, or hit a dolmen group if I want to level a skill I hadn't maxed, or farming. Next thing you know; I am around CP300 and do my first pledges since a couple in beta and first ever veteran mode and with some guildies even did ICP and RoM without too much problem. I have visited CP campaigns here and there and do decent outside of ganks here and there, but I do still prefer AS.

Now I am at 320-330 ish? I can't even tell you because I haven't worried about it. I focus on doing better and in just over 3 months, I have about doubled my CP and even leveled up another class to 50 in there. The only thing that bothers me is if I had gotten out of my own way from the start; I'd probably be at cap now.

TL;DR: Just relax and have fun. It will come and there are ways to deal with lack of CP for those of us who like PvP in the non-CP campaign. I will always be watching the increases though. I don't want them to out-pace me.

lucky_Sage

to be honest id suffer for a week and grind to 300 cp and youll be fine a highly skill 300cp can easly beat average max cp players. or just run the stamblade 1 shot two handed ult build that hit between 25k to 37k

Duckbutta

You can get max cp man, it just takes time and patience (and xp scrolls/psyjic ambrosia helps too) myself and many others also have full-time jobs, relationships, social lives, etc. and are playing at max cp, it is definitely doable, you just have to keep at it.

I probably should have clarified this earlier, my bad. I literally play 95-5 ratio of PVP to PVE. I don't care about dailies and dungeons and stuff. And nothing is more frustrating than being stuck on 180CP in the only pop-locked campaign on the server. Non-CP campaigns are all dead, and in CP campaigns, you have to rely on coming up against scrubs.

Okay disregarding this week and all CPs being disabled across all campaigns...Azura's Star is very far from dead. Even prior to this week Azura's is normally 3 bars to pop locked during prime time.

RebornV3x

I wish I could sell my cp I currently have 730 cp so there's about about 130+ cp I'll probably never use wish I could cash them in or sell to other players lol.
