That would be pretty shocking and horrible if they made CP character bound. It would make the game way more unfriendly to new players and new alts. Grinding to VR16 on a new character is horrible as it is. Grinding to 501 CP on every character would be far worse.

The question is, how would they split the CP if they chose to make it character bound? It would be impossible. That's the reason right there that you won't see it happen. That and it completely defeats the purpose of removing vet ranks. There is a very clear trend to make the game more accessible for alt characters.

1. Make it easier for alt characters to progress through alliance war skill line which promotes alts (coming next week)
2. Remove veteran ranks which promotes alts (coming with Dark Brotherhood)
3. Add character slots in the crown store so people can create more alts (coming "soon")
4. Profit

I'm not against any of this and can't wait for it to happen. With these systems in place, I can hit up the crown store and buy a new slot. Roll a new character, chug some xp potions (possibly also purchased from the store) and have an endgame ready character in a few days. Add on another few weeks depending on how much I pvp and/or run undaunted pledges. Only thing missing is my horse that I can only level once per day but the crown store will even take care of that for me if I'm in a rush. The bottleneck for an endgame toon right now is either alliance skills (if you feel they're necessary for the build) or possibly undaunted skills or vet rank grind. Most of those are being removed.

Yes, you can use Champ Points that you earn on any character you roll, even during the Leveling 1-50. Just like it is now.

Is that set in stone? If so can you tell us how you know? I really hope you're correct but it seems counter intuitive they would remove more than half the leveling process for new toons.

That's literally the entire reason they're removing vet ranks. So that you don't have to grind out all of your characters to max rank, and every character you take to level 50 will be effectively the same level as all of the others at level 50 on your account. Once your characters are all at 50, your entire progression will be account-based instead of character-based.

But wouldn`t that mean if you`re at max CP vertical progression stops at 50? Isn`t that horrible?

Yeah, but people seem to think that alts and endgame are more important than actual progression.

Everything should be account-wide.

True. Mainly skyshards outside quests and lorebooks. But then you have these strange personalities that wants to redo the same over and over again and they call it progression. Go to the shiny pixel and press E for the thousand time. Progression they say lololololololo

It is quite incredible to read topics like these after all of what has been talked about it.

Skyshards Accountwide?
Are you guys sure you wouldn`t be happier with Diablo 3 than with an mmo?
In Diablo 3 everything is accountwide, you can literally get a character ready in 20 minutes.

Are you sure you wouldnt be happier playing a korean grindfest mmo? This game is about TES and grinding nonsense was not planned. ZOS started the bad way and step by step are fixing it.

Why should I have to reread and regain (go point X and press E) the same because I want another char? Do you feel smart by doing this? Or that you can be superior by doing that pre-scholar thing?

CP points are already account wide if your going to make Skyshards, Fighters Guild, Mages Guild and alliance skill lines account wide at that point you might as well just make all alt's max level and be done with it.

No. I didnt said player level. I said lorebooks and skyshards. Non combat things that are plain stupid to repeat. Or make Mages guild not linked to read and read and read.

That wont make you better. Having an alt in 5 hours doesnt mean you are gonna be good at it anyway XD

If CPs were character bound, why remove VR in the first place?

It was a rhetorical question, but oh well.

Any chance you can link us to some of those statements?

Being concerned or wondering about it now is not worth the time investment because as the time grows closer to the actual removal of VR ranks, there will be quite a lot of lengthy discussions and current update information by ZOS at that time. Basically, it doesn't impact us now and wondering about the future is futile, so waiting until the time grows closer IMO is the best approach. Otherwise, all you have is speculation and comments based upon what was said by ZOS months ago, which may or may not hold true when the time actually comes.
