I strongly disagree - this introduces a ridiculous power gap between high/low CP players, and there is FAR less depth to theory crafting as the CP system severely limits what item sets are viable and makes hybridization less potent. And how about those unkillable build shenanigans?? ZOS is off their damned rocker with this change...36 -

L2P or grind CP like everybody else does. This game has atleast another healthy 2-3 years you can easily get to cp 700 within 6 months.
Plus what can you possibly enjoy in this game with no cp?
You got 1 non cp campaign in cyrodil and you HAD non cp bg.
If thats what brings you to this game you should player another game or level up and enjoy the whole thing.

And to that, many prefer no cp because they do not like ppl who have played longer to have a advantage over them and you shouldn't have to grind 600 cps to be on a even playing field. Lower cps can que if they want for for but those that like no cp shouldn't be forced into cps. You asked how we can enjoy no cp? Unkillabe builds and low cp teamates are no fun in cp. By telling us we shouldn't have an optional no cp bg we are forcing low cps to be farmed by you but im sure you wouldnt mind.Edited by Aliyavana on September 19, 2017 2:20AM15 -

✭Deathmatch is being phased out, so we are now going to see BGs consist of unkillable tanks dominating objective game types.

SnubbS✭✭✭✭✭The biggest problem with ESO PvP is Damage. Damage isn't high enough in most cases—and it's most definitely not consistent enough. BGs should have a 25k health cap, and disable the use of Heavy Armor. Those two changes would really go a long way towards providing fast-paced gameplay where it's more about dealing & avoding damage, and less about absorbing/healing through damage. I'd even say nerf impen & impreg as well—maybe hardcap crit resist in BGs to 1500.1

Nothing to do with CP grind, I have been max on CP since less than a month after it was instituted. CP has a completely different balance that favors very specific builds. It does not allow for more customization as so many think, there are only so many stars and diminishing returns set in quite quickly. Since BG's were introduced I have seen far more diverse builds in no CP BG's than I ever saw in Cyrodiil.Legendary Archer of ValenwoodBosmer Dragon Knight Archer. XBox One.

I agree... but I'm assuming ZoS sees the numbers of people playing BG's and does not believe it can support a 3-way split.PvP Defensive Set Comparison

Alaztor91✭✭✭✭✭ZOS should just remove CPs from every type of PvP imo, and then balance it accordingly. What's the point of pvping if there is no even ground? You already have advantage over other players with stuff like:
-Race
-Gear
-Consumables
-Addons
-CPs
How many crutches do people want?

No CP brings a *** ton more depth and diversity to theorycrafting. No experienced theorycrafter would ever suggest otherwise. While CP adds an extra layer to work with, it hugely narrows what is viable, in a big big big way.
I do not understand, ehy we cant just have nice things. Like a non vet, vet no cp and vet cp battlegrounds. Give us choices instead of forcing things on us.

✭✭CP only is great...
Except for the fact it now introduces the unkillable DK's and Trollplars to the fray, which no CP actually kept at bay.
So now we are faced with...DK and Trollplar park together, DK chains and talons people permanently, 1 sorc negates, the other typically uses destroy ult and both just spam frags and use twilight to heal the two barely taking any damage.

Slack✭✭✭✭✭Yes CP BGs add a whole new layer of depth.
You can go full tankmode without having any Dps loss.
With only 8 potential opponents, not all of them focusing you at the same time, and the help of your team, you most likely just kill anyone rather fast, who isn't going the tank way or stays in stealth all the time.Edited by Slack on September 19, 2017 8:29AMPC EU

✭✭Everybody who says that adding CP to BGs will increase BG population is a fool. It will TEMPORARILY increase BG population. However, until Q1 2018, BGs will be dead again. You will see.
Because population problem in BGs wasn't caused by CP restriction. It's the game mode itself. A for fun only mode naturaly lose population over time.
What they need to do to keep players playing BGs is adding competition to them. Implementing a ranking system of some sort or changing current leaderboards to work just like trial ones (reflecting player performance and not time played).Edited by Olupajmibanan on September 19, 2017 8:35AM4 -
