Buying an account (since you can't really buy the game with characters at CPs already) is illegal, so I don't know how it can help this discussion

You are aware unlike other games with this this is a sandbox mmorpg and a lot of the pve content consists of the open world right? This would litterally complete the game for you.

A level boost should not exist, espically not one with that level of completion, may I also add, considering buying skyshards alone.

Your looking at paying like £100+ per character. It would annoy almost every player immediately. Specially considering how pay to win it would be considered

Nah, I think a class swap function would serve this much stronger.

Just a heads-up, eso isn't a sandbox mmo, farthest from it actually. It's a themepark mmorpg like swtor, wow, & gw2.

People don't realize it yet lol

Lock lv 50 boost to cp 1000

Go and play an asian MMO if you want too pay your way too endgame... Or WoW. But those are the games... And frankly... there is a reason WoW is dying and why Asian MMOs are not popular in the west. And P2W is one of them...

Sure, ESO is walking a fine line currently. But we are still within Pay for Convenience. Not P2W.

LV50 isn't my way to endgame. Just keep in mind, it would be pay 2 convenience (as you called it) as the Skyshards. The problem with WoW is that you could buy the boost since your very first minute of the game, it doesn't require anything like a character already leveled or things like this (at least this is what I remember)

CP is account wide and the cap is frozen at 810 while they review the CP system.

I think he meant like: "You can buy the lv50 boost only when hitted cp1000 on your account"

Solid_Metal

because its so damn easy if you want to level up a toon, theres no sense to sell a boost for it

And then that "new" character joins up for trials because that's all they really want to do.

That very thing happened to wow when they started selling boosts.

As I said, it won't be as WoW boost was. You have to reach certain requirements to actually buy it. Just like skyshards.

This forum never fails to amaze me. Character boost, instant max level, gear in the store, solo trials, duo arenas, 6 man dungeons, token system for random drops...

Those would improve the game incrementally, also I hope they will make horse boostr free

TheShadowScout

Oh, someday I expect it will come, one way or another.
At least for alts, same way as the skyshards... and likely in similar price range.

Horse boost is already in the game. Called "crown store riding lessons" - and faaaar from free, as ALL of those things will be. Look at the crown store. Look at the riding lessons. Look at the Skyshard unlocks. THAT is what it will be like.

In the end, you will have a choice - play for it, or pay for it.
...which is what I have been saying all this time to the "gimme crowd" who whine on the forums that they ought to get it all account wide for free...

How is this pay to win? What do you win when your character is lvl 50 compared to a char on lvl 30? What exactly do you win? And who is stronger - the lvl 30 or the lvl 50 char?

The only thing you win is time..that's about it.

• You can match either of those sets to a magicka set and be competent.
• Nope. I'm one of those elitist farmer/traders that gave up leveling the horse when I found gear that was almost as good.

If you had bothered reading more than your own two posts today, I already mentioned (today) that i have only ever completed one trial. I got a very nice costume dye from it.

There are some other ones too where you revisit an old and cleared region for one psijic mission or to grab a crafting survey or treasure chest way off a wayshrine or something.

Still, the point remains, you can get there either way. Some will accept getting there slower and train their riding the long way. Others may have more money then patience, and pay for the shortcut to a speedy horse.
Both are acceptable - those who play for it, and those who support the game by paying for it!

Gears that boost your movement speed are not comparable to a maxed horse. You are faster, you have no stamina limitations, expect for when you get attacked too much, but with a 60 stamina upgrade you BARELY ever fall off the horse.

If you're ok with having to switch sets everytime you have to run 10 meters in the game, because you accepted the fact that the speed upgrade limit is unfair, I'm glad for you. Sets and running are way way way worse than a maxed out horse. You are ok with that? Nice, but it's not the point of my old thread. I'm not like you and you're not like me. I don't wanna have to compensate with useless sets and many people think the same. :dDDDD:D

Also, because I'm always busy irl, when I have spare time I read both my threads and other people ones, but I don't bother reading WHO commented WHAT (ie, even if I read you completing your first trial - gz for that - I wouldn't care who posted that comment, so I wouldn't know if it was you)

NOBODY ever mentioned CPs as part of the boost

You'd get a char boost to you new toon to just get lv50 faster, with maybe guild skills lines exped already or whatever. Obviously (as I already mentioned many times, but apparently people just bother reading the very first comment) you have to meet certain requirements to buy this boost, like, for example, have already a character capped at CPs

Someone also suggested you have to reach CP1000 to buy it

Androconium

Character boost eh? Lets discuss.

• Level 50. Not much gained, apart from the ability generate CP now. On all characters above Level 50.
• CP 160. Now you can acquire practically useful armour and weapons. They will sell, unlike everything else you've collected.
• There's a lot of time between 50 and CP160. But XP scrolls, double XP events, dolmens, Ambrosia and training-traited gear will help you a lot. Especially when stacked and used in the enlightenment window.
• CP 300. Now you have the ability to have two Constellations in each major stacked with 75 CP points, tripping 3 bonuses in potentially six constellations.
• Until you use an Alcast setup which blatantly (and successfully) ignores that concept.

I'm still waiting to hear what you mean by "character boost".

What part did you really want to pay for and why?
Or did I miss something?

Even tho we went completely out of topic, this is the right example of what my thread is about, both for character and horse boostr.

If you're a person very busy irl, you'd know the struggle to have to wait 180 days to max out your horse, especially if you have many characters and you already maxed it out on your main and maybe even some alts. It's just painful and the one day limit is unfair IN MY OPINION.

Nice, you once again mentioned CPs even tho they don't matter in this topic.

Don't worry tho, even if I LITERALLY JUST POSTED A COMMENT EXPLAINING WHAT THE BOOST IS ABOUT, I will write it again. (EVEN if it's not the first comment, but I really hope it's gonna be the last one)

Character boost - you get a token that boosts your new made toon directly to lv50, with class skills line already at lv50 and guild skills line (fighters guild and mages guild at least) at max level. Obviously with all the skill points you get from leveling up. OBVIOUSLY as I said 50 times now, you have to meet some requirements to actually buy it (as it works for skyshards), like FOR EXAMPLE, having already a toon with max CPs, or maybe even like 1000 CPs, like someone suggested. OBVIOUSLY mine is just an idea, it could be still be adjusted to be more balanced, maybe add more requirements or maybe making you unlock just some skills line, idk, just thoughts.

What is so hard to understand, really? You could have bothered reading some comments of the thread because I already wrote this many times. If you're one of those that have a lot of spare time and can max guild skill lines and a toon to lv50 by doing a marathon of ESO, I'm ok with that, I'm not one of these and I bet many people aren't. They already added skyshards in crown store for your new toons; it will be as Pay 2 Win (if you want to call like it, or Pay 2 Convenience as someone called it in the comments, if you read them :DDDD) as skyshards are. Nothing more, nothing less.

Just because the game uses cutscreens does not mean it won't qualify as a sandbox. In this game you can literally go anywhere you want at any time. You don't have to do quests in any specific order, or even at all if you don't want to. Can't do that in SWTOR.

It is a sandbox

Not really sure..

If you're one of those that have a lot of spare time and can max guild skill lines and a toon to lv50 by doing a marathon of ESO,

I've been playing ESO for about four years. I had to earn all my achievements. Why should you just be able to buy them? I only got the Fighter's guild skill line about a month ago. I wasn't even aware of it. Or the Skills that went with it.

The basic problem that I have with your idea is the same as I had with the Skyshards - search you'll see similar comments from me. The problem is that I and lots of other players have HAD to put the time in to earn those achievements.
Now people just rock up and ask to pay for it. The Skyshard thing was abyssmal, people (like you) sprouting off that they desperately needed Skyshards Now! Well they won; I hope they are happy with how ZOS implemented it.

This is a never-ending game; it's designed that way to keep you subscribing, Crown Store shopping and Chapter releases.
Why should you or anyone else be able to buy a fast-track through it, when OTHER PLAYERS have done it the long way around.

Finally, I do know how hard and long it is. I have two accounts; one at 946, the other at 240 or something. The things that I had forgotten about that I take for granted with the first account, are re-appearing for me on the second account.
But not once have I thought that I would prefer not to have to go through it all again. I just get on and do it. the only advantage is that I know where things are and don't need to actually find them the first time.

I'm one of those players. I have more than 3,500 hours in this game (calculated via an add-on called played all), I have 13 maxed out characters, everyone set-up for Raids etc... with guild skill lines maxed out etc etc etc... with a lot of skill points gained by skyshard grinding etc etc etc... on each character

This is the exact proof that you didn't bother reading this thread's comments at all, not even the first ones. As I already said: I disagree with the skyshard boost being implemented into the crown store; the topic of this thread is: if they added such a thing, why something like Character Boost or a better way to unlock horse upgrades isn't implemented nor is accepted by players? I find a character boost MUCH more useful than this skyshards ***.

I don't honestly see how "having a second account" could help the topic. Buying another account is just your own business and I agree that if you use an alter account you have to grind everything from the start, because it's just your own consciousness.
in b4, I have a second account, it's just at first CPs but I don't use it much because I really don't see the point in having 2 accounts, since the game offers so many character slots you can try every class on any spec.

Androconium wrote: »

Yes! What's wrong with that? It's how character boost should and does work in many others game.
There wouldn't be no point in purchasing it if you don't at least get the skill points you gain from leveling up. But, as I already said, this is just my idea and it could get balanced better; maybe you get half skill points or something. It's like you never played a game with character boost in it.

• You won't have to do the dolmen requirements for the fighter's guild.
• You won't have to gather all the mages books for the mages guild.

First of all, you don't necessarily need dolmens to exp fighters guild, I don't know why you included them as your point.
Progression achievements like? That achievement you get when hitting lv20 / 40 and 50? Is that really a so big disgrace that you put it as your point of the discussion? Ok.
Mages guild? OBVIOUSLY. It is the point of having a guild skill lines boost included with it. AND GUESS WHAT? It will work the same exactly way as skyshards. You don't have to grind books anymore!!!!!!!

I don't really understand why you posted this with such a text; but the topics are similar. The purchasable skyshards is such a stupid thing, so why ZoS doesn't just go for much more useful things since it has already taken the way of “Pay 2 Convenience”
