Many rebalancing elements plus removal of vet ranks.

If you also raise cap, makes assessing impact of all this on play balance that much harder.

I am well over cp cap and AGREE with decision to NOT raise cap with DB until the smoke clears.

Ymmv.

ZOS has already stated why they are not raising the cap this time. There are many new elements to the game such as new stamina based changes, the addition of poisons, the removal of VR ranks, and other balance changes. They want to see how these work together first before adding more changes such as raising the CP cap. Believe me, I would like to see the cap raised myself, but I understand why they didn't.

lol there will always be drastic changes with dlcs as they mess them up every single time. So we very likely won't ever see any cp cap increases

play balance ? by this whole your concern about the "play balance" with the ESO gives up a lot of old players and I do not see that they were replacing by new

Not sure i understand your post.

But i dont see ESO giving up players anymore than you see gaining new bc neither of use sees any actual figures on logins, subs etc. All we see are our own anecdotal experiences in game, assuming you actually play, and what people say on the internet.

Neither of those provide reliable metrics.

But my point still stands.

I honestly hope they create a permanent cap -- while constantly adjusting CP options.

How else can you deal with CP power creep?

Probably b/c there's at least 1 more round of char/skills nerf in the wings after release of DB

Maybe they just waiting until the average player CP reaches the current cap...

I hope for pvp they never increase the cap (like 501 cap added to battle spirit so PVErs can still progress). 1v1 battles last for eternity already and makes cheese builds even cheesier.

Gear, Skills and CP layout… in a game where both PvE and PvP exist like this I imagine it is crazy hard to balance anything. Tweak one thing and the ripples start flowing.

I would love to use more of my over-cap CP and I would also like to feel better about earning new ones or getting rewarded a chunk, but I understand and agree with the reasons behind why they aren't raising it yet.

Creating new content at 170 or 180 CP would be silly. When it is raised it should be upped to 260 to give some feeling of a level progression to newer players. Also, the hint at 51 new CP usage a quarter in the future seems low.

Is it Tuesday yet?

Removal of vet ranks is horsecrap. The did nothing but make VR CP and add a zero. How any of you are so gullible as to think its some mighty change I will never understand.

Poisens are OP. They will be OP, with or without cp increase. Its going to wreck PvP as much as the proxy det trains when they f'ed up proxy. They are going to (be stronger than intended) the forum will errupt in complaints. And they will get nerfed to useless. Over 6 months and 2 dlcs and another 25% population loss.

Players have no reason to continue playing. And Maybe ZoS doesn't give a rats arse because they feel if you leave just cause they ruined their own game you prolly aren't the sort of player dumb enough to spend 40 bucks on a horse or to pretend their DLC is good no mateer how little work they put in, so they don't want you any how.

Theres no reason to go into most locations anymore, theres no character progression, and Cyrodil assumes too much intelligence from the playerbase. With most of the good hardcore players gone, its a mess in there.

A brand new player can currently, if they make a friend and ask for help lvling. Can go from level 3 to vr16 in a week easy. Now they are changing to CP Ranks PLUS the catch up system, it will take 5 hours for a new character to be CP 160. And only a week or so after to reach cap.

If you spend your time in a populated area doing nothing, talking and what not, and whining about dungeons being to hard or what have you then no I do not think all these other players should continue to suffer the stale no progression life. How many months do these lazy folks need to catch up? How many boosts? Hell if you refuse to progress until they catch up just give every new character the damn CP cap, its already so they don't have to work for it and its still to hard for them, they might actually have to pick up their controller.

No dueling and even if they ever get around to doing it they won't do it right. No battlegrounds. Promises of 'someday'. Noone will even be here by then. ZoS can't even rejuvinate there playerbase with DLC's like other games cause noone wants to come back after they have left. Folks put alot of time and effort into this game just so 6 months later everyone gets what folks worked hard for overnight. (look at AP gains now)

In short, screw eso and zos. Man, the more I think about it the more I can't believe I still troll the forums tryna help and put my two bits in. This game had potential, iwe used to be so excited to see what yall would come up with. Now we just wish you'd revert everything back to pre imperial city.

Gear caps will be raised before we see a CP cap raise.

That was part of the point of the separation of Gear from Levels when they removed VR.

Gear isn't seperated from levels. VR ranks being turned into CP ranks has nothing to do with this. Where do you people make this stuff up at? Instead of something being VR5 it will be CP 50.

Actually there is a massive difference. Prior to TDB the ability to wear/use items was based purely on level. This has now changed to lvl <50 being the 'old system' and CP > 50 being the 'new system'. The old system being character based and the new system being account based.

It does sound like your gripes are deep set so you'd be better to leave and enjoy life.
