You know, something tells me that this is not going to be as dire as it initially sounds. I don't know what they have cooking, but I can't believe that they would actually drop long time established players like this.

This is an order of magnitude, or a couple of them, more significant than anything that they did for Undaunted.

Besides, like I said elsewhere, there is a bigger picture fail here that is completely unrelated to initial CP numbers and XP migration. Even if the worst comes to pass, it is still a tempest in a teapot.

Honestly, the first thing out of their mouths in ESO Live should have been a clear statement saying that they changed directions on this matter. Mentioning it directly, and drawing the line between what had been said and what it is now would have made it clear.

But, they can still change the plan. There are quite a few things that they plan on doing that end up being something else when they are done. The more time they have to regroup and change things, the better it is for us. Hopefully, a month is long enough to make some tweaks.

you are


wrong.... simple as that. The game will only get bigger and you wi ll be gone because you are a brat that throws tantrums everytime you dont get your way.

I don't get why this post gets so many "lol" mentions.

Those are valid criticism of the system.

900h is not much time for an MMO. Those things are meant to last for years.

This means that anyone that plays MMO instead of watching TV 25h a week will be completing the CP in less than 9 months.
Any hardcore players would reach that even faster.

That's quite the power gap for what is essentially a system that only gives you a choice in what you unlock first rather than what you end up with.

Not to mention that the game model is changing and that people that pay will have access to the subscription boost, the cash shop boosters and the grouping up xp boost.
That will make it even shorter.

So it makes sense that you should have to make a choice.
Perhaps something similar to the mundus stones could be applied?
Like having access to only 1 line of passives.

Or perhaps a system similar to how hotbar slots are limited?
Like having access to only one passive of each level active at a time.
Gaining more passives would just give you more options if you want to change build.

Yes it is. Because:
logged in for 900 hours =/= playing for 900 hours


You spent 30 minutes looking for a group?
That's 0 minutes played.

You wait 15 minutes in an Ini for that guy answering his phone/door?
That's 0 minutes played.

You organize your items on all you mule chars?
30 minutes logged in, 0 minutes played.

The list goes on and on.

It still isn't much, even if you were to consider that 10% of your time is preparation of actual xp earning.
Remember, an MMO is supposed to be played for years. Anyone who's hobby is to play these kind of games will have maxed out the entire CP tree under a year.
Even less if they p2w with boosters.

And it doesn't change the valid criticism that there is only an ilusion of choice.
Aside from chosing the order in which you unlock things, you can and should unlock everything.
Having a "passive slot" system where players have to chose which buffs to apply would fix that.
it would also make the power gap smaller between veteran and new players while allowing vets to have more versatility and choices of builds.
Exactly what the skill point system is providing with abilities and regular passives.
