Cp point give away

AlnilamE · April 2016

I think the CP catch up will only apply to people who haven't played since Orsinium came out. Since the XP curve was put in place, it's pretty hard for a player who started vet ranks after Orsinium to not have 160 CP if they have a v16 character.

But someone who stopped playing before and maybe has a V14 only (because V16 only came out with IC) will be able to wear the gear they had on their character.

What I don't understand is how can some one have 523 cp before patch. I got only 501 and my cap is reached as of current patch.

I have 800 .-. From playing the game loyally and consistently.

We don't get to use our excess CP, though. Just the cap (:

They said all with less than 160 cp will be credited with all the necessary points until 160. For those having more than 160 they wil give 40cp if some vr16 exists in the account.

I was hoping for more but I'll take it lol

Yes, I rember as well that ZOS stated that.

But even if that still holds true, it cannot be the full story.

Compare someone with Vet 16 with 100 CP, a Vet 16 with 150 CP and a Vet 16 with 300 CP.

With these two statements one way forward could be:
The Vet 16 with 100 CP will be raised to 160 CP
The Vet 16 with 300 CP will be raised with 40 to 340 CP

and now the Vet 16 with 150 CP....
Will he only be raised to 160 CP ?
or.... will he be raised with 40 from 150 to 190 CP ?

No. He will be raised to 160. To further elaborate, using me as an example. Currently sitting at 523 CP and 6 v16 toons. I will gain nothing upon removal of vet ranks. The CP handout only applies to those with 1 or more v16 toons who are not yet at 160 CP. TBH its nothing much. If you are under 160 CP you will be gaining CP like candy even without the boost so don't let it worry those above 160 CP too much. They aren't gaining much anyway.

The way you say it, do you expect that you do NOT get the 40 CP for accounts having MORE than 160 CP ?

That 40 CP has been mentioned by ZOS for accounts with more than 160 CP, so your 523 should be raised with 40 to 563.

The point I was trying to make is the discontinuity that additional 40 CP creates.

To give the most extreme comparison.
Assume a Vet 16 with 159 CP to a Vet 16 with 161 CP
Would the 159 CP account only get 1 CP (raised to the 160 CP) and the 161 CP account get 40 CP (raised to 201 CP)
So the difference of 2 CP before DB increases to 41 CP after the DB DLC.

If you got v16 you get 40cp. If after that boost you're still under 160cp, then you get boosted to 160cp.

So, with 150cp you will end up to 190cp and 120cp or less you will end up to 160cp. Asuming you have v16 char that is.

Are there any quotes from ZOS to imply that this is how it will work or are we just speculating?

On a side note, unless they are raising the cap this is merely symbolic to me since I have been over 501 for a long time now.

Would be cool, but I honestly don't expect it, I've never seen an instance in a game where they made leveling easier and comped those who were already at cap. It's one of those things where you already had your fun, you're still playing so you're still clearly having your fun, and so you don't need to have your hand held at all with easier leveling incentives.

They did that with CP when they first came out. v14s got 70 CP, can't remember if it was per character or once per account though.

If there's a cap then giving those players the same as everyone wouldn't matter would it? I think it would be fair if everyone were to get them

no
if youre v16 with 123 cp you will be given 37 cp to wear your same gear

thats the only given cp
