To those of you thinking a v14 char with 30 CP is in anyway on par to a v1 with 30 CP
Learn to math pl0x, and realize all your "achievements" are not "wasted"
V14 perks
- 13 additional skill points
- 13 additional attribute points
- Higher softcaps
- Gear several tiers higher, with stat adjustments that are not only significant, but massively significant, especially in categories like weapon power and armor rating. Go compare a v1 staff with a v14 staff right now and tell me they are even in the same league.
- Completion potentially of Silver + Gold netting another 40 skill points from Skyshards (even just doing Cadwells quests alone and ignoring the rest of the zone, you will gain more than 15 SPs)
- Many more completed skills lines than any V1 ever could have done by this point
- Additional Skyshards/SPs from Vet Dungeons, Group dungeon challenges, and Craglorn
- Mages/Undaunted rep (more lorebooks to hit rank 10 mages, more vet dungeons achieves/pledges done for Undaunted.
You cant simply say that just because you have 30 CP in common that the two are in any way on par with each other. I mean seriously, V1 toons usually dont even have all their CLASS skill lines 100% done yet, much less anything beyond that.
We made Rank 14 at Vanilla WOW, it took a long time and a few weeks later everyone and his cat could get the title.
EA made a server move at SWTOR, thousands of players lost their legacy, guild and char names - no compensation ever.
But were you stripped of the rank and had to get it again?
Is a guild or char name comparable with months of progress?

Just to make sure we're all on the same page, once Update 6 is released and you have at least one Veteran Rank character, all your characters will receive 30 Champion Points - no more, no less. This will only occur at the onset of Update 6; after this is released, you will gain Champion Points one at a time as designed.
A few months ago, it was said that we were tracking XP. However, this was still early in development and through internal testing and feedback, found that we needed to change our plans (and, honestly, this quite normal through the course of development). We understand that this was, indeed, a major change from what we were originally planning. In an effort to be open with everyone about how things were going and what was planned, it caused a great deal of confusion, and we sincerely apologize for that.
As it has been said a number of times, we certainly encourage you to hop on the PTS once this is available in January and try out the system. This is also a great chance to plan how you'd like to build your character once it's live!
Hope you all are enjoying the holidays, and we'll see you in the new year.
If the situation at ESO is bad for you then you have to leave the game, just like I did at SWTOR. Its not on me to decide how bad it is for you, to not get more CPs - to me its not a big deal, its also not a big deal if I don't get the 30 at all, but losing a char name would be.
Its your choice.
This is something I would like someone at ZOS to address -- sure, they will be adjusting XP rewards so that different types of content give similar amounts of XP, but for someone who has done all of Cadwell's, the Solo PvE stuff is all used up and cannot be done again. A VR1 who still has all of it to do can get all the CPs that come from its XPs, but a VR10+ who has completed it cannot. There is no more Solo PvE until Wrothgar, so where are the players who completed Cadwell's going to get their CPs from?nikolaj.lemcheb16_ESO wrote: »ThatHappyCat wrote: »Why is everyone assuming that VR14s who've done Cadwell's Gold will have nothing to gain EXP from?

Because the game does not contain any solo pve content at the endgame what so ever.
The entire cp system should be set on hold until Wrotgard is ready for release.

The answer "by doing PVP/Pledges/Craglorn" is invalid, as that is not Solo PvE content, which is what this question is about.
(Although I would be interested to know what these players are doing right now if they've already finished Cadwell's.)
Out of curiosity, how is a more causal player with only one V14, suppose to gain CP in 1.6?
I'm not worried for myself. I have one of each class at level cap. I still have thousands of quest to do, even have Cadwells gold and entire maps left on some characters.
But a less "hardcore" player that didn't speed grind alts to level cap, well, they seem a bit screwed lol. At least if they want to do quest to progress and gain points. This while a VR1 has all content ahead of him, and the same amount of points. It doesn't add up. Hope I'm missing something?

I have unsubbed and will stop playing if nothing changes. To me losing progress is quite severe, no matter if mmo or single player game.
I just dislike repeating things and that's what zenimax expects us to do to get CP. I just wish I had started the game half a year later, then I'd be perfectly happy with it. But as it is I just feel screwed...
Perhaps returning in half a year I'll get everything handed to me for minimum effort and a maximum of fun.

A VR1 and a VR14 are NOT the same. It's wrong that they both get the same status after moving to the champion system. It's just wrong. How can you not see this?
This needs it's own thread. You said you would track our exp towards the new cp system. So a bunch of us went ahead and quested. Now your not giving us the exp points you said you would......but we cant repeat the quests. Can someone from Zeni clarify this......it's upsetting alot of your long subscribing customers ? It's my understanding that a new VR1 will receive the same cp as my vr14....but still have access to the quest exp that I won't. I hope you guys have a fix for that.

Consoles will be on their dedicated servers, so that can't be it.

Players who started console accounts last year will (before the Fall I believe) will be able to transfer their PC characters over to consoles. So on day one of the console release, many players will have fully leveled characters to play. ZOS probably doesn't want the newbie console players coming in to discover that they're already hopelessly outclassed by the veterans.
Of course, that's assuming that ZOS keeps their promises on allowing transfer of characters in the first place--which, given their long track record of lying to us, is far from a given.

ZOS knows the exact ratio of CP to XP, be it 1 CP for every 250,000 XP or whatever it is. It is very easy to reward players the number of CPs they have earned based on the current unenlightened VR level progression. In my example above, players could earn 52 CPs if they were VR14 come 1.6 launch day. If the ratio is 1 CP for every 500,000 XP, then that is 26 CPs. With 3600 points in the system, both of those numbers are exceptionally small.
The above system is fair (well, more fair than the current system of 30 CPs for all VR players). If ZOS wants to reward players for reaching VR1 by giving them 10 or 30 or whatever number of CPs, then that's fine. They just need to do it both at and after the 1.6 launch day. ZOS should not punish the players that hit VR1 the day after 1.6 launches compared to those players that hit it the day before. Nor should ZOS reward VR1 players the same as VR14 players. There is nothing fair about that given the time and effort it takes to progress from VR1 to VR14.
Aren't they adding a whole new PVE zone very soon? All you people crying about not having any solo content left might be in luck. I thought I recalled them saying in the last ESO Live that a new zone is coming very soon.
Just give VR+ players something. Maybe 1 point per VR level. Or 1 per 2 VR levels. How bad could that be if everyone has 30 for someone to have 7 more? Maybe there is a concern over players with multiple VR14 characters? Would making it only apply to one character for a limit of 7 (or 14) above the 30 be so bad?
