Champion point gain
Has anyone else found the gain if champion points to be extremely slow? Last night I played for ~6 hours and completed the vet daily, AA, did some spell scar, and went on a murderous rampage. Granted I spent roughly an hour setting up my gear and build, that's still 5 hours of actively doing endgame activities. By the end of the night I had gained just more than one quarter of a champion point.
Now I know they said enlightenment would speed this up but it still seems excessively slow to me.

Deandra✭✭✭Exp gain seems to be about 1/4 the previous value, which is a really drastic (and undocumented?) change.4 -
McDoogs✭✭✭✭Incredibly slow. I did the full mages guild and fighters guild questlines (scaled to vr1) and got about 45% of one CP. It's like they want us to grind mobs.Edited by McDoogs on March 4, 2015 1:28PM2 -

✭✭✭✭✭I only went to my favorite grind spot for about 5 minutes to test my build a little but did notice I was still getting the same XP there, so I hope it isn't just specific activities have been nerfed to fit their pace to where grinding, although already nerfed is way better again than enjoying the game to where they start hunting the spots out.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Yeah, XP gains do seem fairly reduced from what I was seeing. The vet pledge (full dungeon clear and quest turn-in) netted me about 40,000 XP.----

I guess I'll have to find a new grinding spot now that spell scar has been nerfed heavily (~800 xp per trash pack).0

Kragorn✭✭✭✭✭Given ZOS' previous 'form' for nerfing 'hot' grind spots I wouldn't at all be surprised Spellscar has been clobbered by the
nerfbat already.0 -

✭I knocked out half a champion point in a few hours of grinding. Tonight when I have enlightenment I expect it to go a lot faster.0 -
Rammi✭✭✭Same experience played for 2 hours made 10% of gain for Champion point
What a joke! Im not here to work! Not a pleasurable experience at all making 10% progress in 2 hours!The Champion System should have rewarded Champion Points based off of achievements and feats earned through excelling at end game content not grinding your life away vs mobs in order to stay competitive. This system is uncreative and is a great example of extremely lazy system design. Yes, you should be embarrassed0 -
I think enlightenment is only granted after not having played for 24 hours (correct me if I'm wrong!). If that's the case then people who play every day will never be granted enlightenment.2

Best way to grind CPs is to make alts, grind them to v1, then do all the dolmen/objectives/etc and grind until v12 or so, then delete and repeat.
It's stupid, but with the Craglorn XP nerf there's just no good XP out there for v14s (and there won't be until October/November, probably).

I think its so long as you do not perform combat to use it, it accumulates automatically.
Maybe that would be a good time to work on a sub-50 alt to get ready for having enlightenment for a VR toon.0 -
AssaultLemming✭✭✭✭It was horribly slow today. Did my usual killing mobs in craglorn looking for materials. Xp bar hardly moved.0

Medieval_Miss81✭✭✭I ran the vet pledge dungeon four times, working on my build and helping guildies, and only gained a little over 1/4 of a champion point. That's over a course of several hours. Extremely slow, it seems!Co-GM of Cor Leonis0 -

✭You have to forget craglorn as a grind spot. The mob XP open field in craglorn was nerfed. Try grinding in veteran rank areas with a lower VR char.0 -

Khaldar✭✭✭Its kind of funny... They don't want us to grind, but they want to make CP a MASSIVE lifelong grind

Maybe but you get on a twink normal XP for killing a mob, round about 414 xp. So this is always more than craglorn.0 -

✭✭This was pointed out time and again by those testing on the PTS, the only decent way of gaining XP is to repeatedly run alts through the full gamut of quests in both veteran alliances - no other method of play is viable if you want CP. Just need to go through the unpopular VR grind another 100 times and you will be done... dribblingly insane... but done.
ZOS chose to replace unwanted grind with much more unwanted grind, yay!
As another cynic pointed out the crown store will doubtless be selling boosters for XP or even a 'drink this 100 crown item to get 5 CP' potion... after all they aren't anything but time savers.Edited by Tavore1138 on March 4, 2015 2:29PM1 -

Rammi✭✭✭my issue is not so much with how many points there are its the horrid pace in which you earn them!

This would make sense if people already at 'end game' had not seen a drop in power as a result of all the other changes.
I.e. Try playing a stamina focused build while they proudly boast of increasing the cost of block, dodge, break free & stealth. You need a serious number of CP to make a melee stamina build as viable as it was yesterday.6 -

Exactly. This is the point we've been trying to make on the PTS forums for weeks. See my thread for Gina's response to us long-term players about the "options" there are for gaining CP.Gore-of-the-Forest Argonian Nightblade
