If you can do all the content you could before, there is no problem. Everyone else was made weaker too so this has no effect in pvp. You are just as good as before regardless how powerful you feel.

I set up my Sorc the exact same way as on live (without CP), ran to some Welvas I kill daily....and they ate me :'(

Can this be attributed to gap between where we were and where they expect us to be with Champion Points?

I think they need to tweak the numbers (our stats vs mob stats) some more maybe, and over the first couple months after 1.6 goes live, gradually adjust us.

Ofc, it will always be too easy for some, too difficult for others because people are going to have varying points, placement, etc.

Everyone testing that experiences this should send /feedback in game.

Note: My personal experience can also be attributed to fact they nerfed a primary component in my rotation

What don't people understand about the fact that ZOS is resetting the game? They're keeping the 1-50 game for people that want to level quickly, do dungeons together, and be impressed with getting new shiney more powerful items at a fairly high pace. The 50+ game is for people who will play for years and focus on PvP \ end game raiding. That 50+ game is who the champion system is designed for, and the design (rightly or wrongly) is for it to take years for most players to max out.

ZOS doesn't have an interest in keeping your characters at the same effectiveness as before the 1.6 update. They have an interest in attracting a new player base, which means the new players have to feel like they can catch up to existing players. If existing players are overly powerful, it will discourage the new players from staying in the game.

Keeping your current character is simply your reward for the paid beta. ESO 2.0 will be a similar, but different game. Zeni is plotting player response against the change curve and feeling out the community SARA response, but by and large this is a reboot of the game and should be approached as such.

It's going to 'reboot' their loyal customer base, that's for sure.

Some players simply have more time to play than others and will always be ahead of them in some way. Such is life.

Even grinding 12+ hours per day, it will still take over a year to get max CP. Actually, at 5 CP's per day (2 million XP) it will take 2 years to max out at 3,600 CP. Even if they got 10 CP's per day it would still take a year.

Which is really, really stupid.

Something people forget is membership also. +10% xp on top of your current fastest rate of gain and I wouldn't mind betting there will be something that will extend inspiration. If everyone retains their current status of subscription we will all have this.

You stop gaining XP at level cap, how does that help?

I'm not sure this is necessarily true. You still gain xp at level cap it just doesn't go towards increasing your rank. It goes towards increasing your skill levels, and in this case, CPs in 1.6.

From the 1.6 patch notes:
Dungeons & Group Content
General
•Veteran dungeons will now award significantly more experience.

So a v14 running vet dungeons will be getting a way to grind CP. This includes trials and vet DSA which is what most v14 in PvE grind anyways.

Also: Sub bonus +10% xp, RoM bonus, +10% xp, rested bonus +? xp

You say there is no content to earn CP.

You say that you are now too weak to play effectively.

If there is no content to play, then

1) How do you know you are weaker?
2) Why does it matter since there is no content anyway?

You can't have it both ways. If you are too weak to do "X", then obviously "X" is content which you can do to gain CPs.

One way to get CP by playing content is roll a second character and level him to VR1 right now. When the conversion hits, you've got the other two alliances zones to play with that new VR1, and every CP it earns belongs to all your toons.

The other way is to get thy toon to Cyrodiil. You earn XP right alongside AP there.

Why is that?

I'm ok with that, but if you make the gap so large that a small minority of the best powergamers just destroying the rest of your 99% of player base...well, you aren't going to have enough people paying $$$.

Has to be a balance...diminishing returns. Simply as a level 51 is 5% better than a level 50. And a level 60 is 10% better than a level 50.

Can't have a level 60 be 50% better than a level 50. Arbitrary numbers.

If you put it in ESO terms

If a 200 CP character is 50% stronger than a 100 CP character...there will be problems.

If they're 10%-15% stronger...than yeah sure, no prob

Id rather have them nerf cp grind time than giving us vr14s more than 70 cp cuz itll only increase the gap vs newcomers

Ok now we are getting to a point here. How much bonus does one get for maxing star with 100CP?

Enough with the CP crying already. You already got Zenimax to change it to were you get 70 and lowers get nothing now but now your crying again for 500? Just play the game and stop trying to be "that guy".

When they announced 30 CP I never cried. I wouldn't cry now too if they didn't cut our resources and put them into the CP system. What is happening now, is that all the progress that I have during the last 6 months is gone and I need another 6 months to get this progress back. But there is no new content to achieve this progress, so I have to go and grind mobs.
@Forestd16b14_ESO I bet you didnt even try the new system and just gave your expert opinion.

Threads like this are why we can't have nice things. No wonder they're abandoning the 6 to 8 week update model. They have to continually think this is what players want. It's not. And now the rest of us pay that price.
