Gear Scaling with New CP System

CRehrl15 · December 2015

Hello Community!

What do you think how ZOS will make all the Gear scaling when they removed the Veteran System?

For me there are to many Question open:

(1) What is going to happen with my equipped Gear?
(2) How do i craft gear after the System is removed?
(3) Whats with all my Monster Sets?

I am V16 (320 CP)(PS4) and all my Gear is V16!

(1) Would the Gear all scaled to 160 CP or based to my actual CP?

(2) Would it be like (idk the exact numbers) 15 Ingots for a V15 (150CP) Sword? And something like 20 for a 160CP Sword?
I really like the Crafting System thats why i want to hear your ideas how they could do it.

(3) For Example when i got a V16 Helmet will he get scaled to 160CP or to my actual CP Level?

And one of the BIGGEST QUESTION is:
How they're planing it to scale all the Gear?
Maybe in 50,100CP Steps?

(Sorry for my English if something is not correct)

(1) ...nothing that wouldn't happen otherwise?
(2) ...just like now, you go to a crafting station and craft away...

though there might be some tweaks to materials... (hopefully)
(3) They stay as they are now, in the new system...

The way I hear it, V16 gear will just become CP160 gear. Same for all other gear, V? becomes CP(?x10). And people with low CP values get them raised to the V-rank equivalent of their highest character, so anyone with a V16 but less then 160 CP will get bonus CP to boost them to 160 so they can use all gear a V16 would.

Gear won't be scaled from what I hear, it will just be renamed.
Meaning its stats will remain (more or less, they might take the opportinity to make adjustments, but that they might do whenever they feel something needs adjusting anyhow), it just will be "CP160" instead of "V16" gear as equip requirements go.
The main point being, if you make an alt, as soon as they go level 50 they can inherit endgame gear from your main since unlike veteran ranks, c-points are account wide...
The crafting we'll see. Likely the best will still be overcharged to make getting a "best" crafted set as strenous as assembling a dropped set...

And as time goes by, they will add more gear ranks. CP 180 gear. CP 200 gear. CP 250 gear. CP 300 gear. Whatever.

They claim to be removing vet levels but they will just create a new CP gate that will essentially be the same thing. Then all that V16 gear you spend hours farming will be useless.

Fortunately, they will have a new DLC where you can get all the new CP gated gear. BOP of course.

This ^^

And when it happens, just watch how many people leave the game. You can already see how ZOS only cares about grabbing new players cash and not about keeping long term players. Their focus is heavily on new player experience and the crown store while leaving exploits, bugs, broken things in the game for months.

High quick short term turn over is all they want.
