whats the new cp max?

They said it will be announced next week... along with all the notes regarding everything else that's coming, including pricing, when it will be released, etc. It will be hitting PTS also next week so I'm guessing a lot of the information will be in the patch notes. Just an FYI... the new 'dungeon packs' are exactly that... two dungeons you access from Shadowfen, they do not include ANY new areas.

I remember them mentioning the rebalanced racials... I don't recall hearing anything about CP cap.

I also heard them mention rebalancing racial passives but DID NOT hear anything about raising the CP cap.

They talked about it in today's ESO Live.

.... Oh wait this is the ESO forums where people go crazy and complain about changes they know nothing about, my bad.

not me, this update looks like candyland on christmas morning. Everything that's beem complained about and asked for is getting addressed it seems. So much lovings. All I did was bch about zos but I'm taking a hiatus from that!

Wait, they are rebalancing racials?

yeah, the patch notes will have what they're talking about.

Holy crap, this is the last hope. Please, for the love of Sithis, they better give Argonians and Nords something fair. It has been 2 years of going around and around about this. I will kneel down before Wrobel and lick his feet clean if he finally balanced the racial passives fairly.

But my luck with MMOs tells me that Argonians will still suck and I'll have to choke down that dirty race change. I'm actually kind of nervous about this now. This could be the greatest thing this game has seen since crafting bags or it could be a heart-breaking tale of how this gamer felt no choice but to abandon his egg-brethren.

The suspense is killing me.

We won't be getting it until after Race Changes go live, though.

As long as it's coming, it gives me hope. I had given up. This is what I've been pushing for these last 2 years. This is huge news to me.

Same. I'm getting Hel Ra, AA, and DSA all back in fit and fighting condition with the sets that I loved so much being scaled (and hoping that Silks isn't hosed in the process); I'm getting two new 4 man dungeons with pledges and undaunted sets and they are absolutely awesome; finally I'm getting a cap increase and bop trading in group instances.

GreenSoup2HoT · June 2016

I would like to see a complete overhaul on racial balance.

I dislike how only Khajiits and Woodelfs have the stealthy passive. Its not like thief's and assassin's did not exist in the Daggerfall Covenant and Ebonheart Pact. Not every Nord is a huge clumsy professional body builder is what im saying, you could have female nords who are very stealthy. Not every Orc is a brute either.

For a game that sponsor's the saying "play how you want to play" , it's really an understatement when you are pigeonholed into specific races for that optimal passive setup.

There should be an option to either adopt another race's passive's or select specific passives at the start of character creation (would require a complete rework of the passive system). All im asking is for arch-types before you select a race like: stealth/warrior/mage/tank/healer/potion drinker Kappa/sustained magicka/sustained stamina/etc

Well we already knew Race Change was coming and with that changing the passives along with them but have fun discussing the new CP cap lol

I'm hoping it's no more than 600. That seems to be an appropriate amount considering where the average player appears to be at this moment.

It would be awesome if they added MORE passives instead of taking away what is already there... they seem to be all about passives these days... passives with TG, passives with DB... how about more passives for races?!?

My guess is a standardizing of the racial passives rather than anything being added or subtracted, but if they do that there's a very good chance that races like Altmer and Dunmer will lose their bonus damage.

Well, personally, I'm OK with removing damage bonuses... it's the stealth reduction, max attribute, attribute regen, that is most important to me in my builds. Although, it will be interesting to see if they change Imperial at all considering it was a PAID race.

I'd rather see them reduced rather than straight up lost, but I agree, regen and bonus stats are pretty important.

If they reduce the attributes I'll be pretty mad unless they make Red Diamond better. I'd rather see other races that need it get improved than bring others down. (This is my sentiments about classes as well)

I'd love to see racials have morphs so we can custom tailor our characters a bit more for certain roles.

Great idea.

Rust_in_Peace · June 2016

They'll probably just remove stat bonuses altogether and make all the racials like the leveling bonuses to certain weapon or armor types.

That would be flat out awful and lore-unfriendly.

Jaronking · June 2016

I just hope they don't completely destroy the Redguard passives.I love my Redguards all my characters but one are Redguards.I am thinking they will Nerf their passives along with Altmer so to kinda force people to buy the race change to get the new best Race in game for Min maxed builds.

Mojmir · June 2016

I see good races getting nerfed, and nords getting bonus to walking in snow.

Slurg · June 2016

Now that you'll be able to pay real money to change your race, you should expect significant racial "rebalancing" in every update.

I hope you can play every build with every race after the patch

lol, you already can.

But if you're talking about equally, then that would completely hose the lore.

Lore is truely a sickness.
I hope we will find a cure

I am hoping this 'good thing' doesn't go bad once we see what is actually being done. I've seen from the past how they talked about how they were going to rebalance or make improvements only to turn around and nerf things into oblivion. They did do a lot of good IMO with DB, so I'm hoping this trend continues.

Junkogen · June 2016

Does anyone have the link to the ESO live in which they talk about this rebalancing? I have to see this for myself.

Tekyn · June 2016

Hey guys, lets let people pay us real money to change races... and then we'll switch all the racials up. Mwahahahaha... *mustache twirl*

No, I am not an optimist.

Somehow I'm picturing Angry Joe dressed as Corporate Commander (Cobra Commander lookalike) and saying this. Yes, I was/am in the angry army.

radiostar · June 2016

Expect racial passives to get homogenized so whichever you choose doesn't change too much.
Oh, wait. That's how it is now, lol

MissBizz · June 2016

For those that didn't hear. It is kind of said "in passing" about 1 hour and 12 minutes(is) in if you watch their recent broadcast on Twitch (CP cap)

I would like to see my option 2 under my idea that kind of speaks to what you are saying about morphs. Custom list you get to pick and choose from. That would put it more in line with the concept of how CP works as well.

I made a thread about the cp cap a few days ago, feel free to answer the poll and post your opinion/thoughts there:
CP cap: By how much would you raise it?

*misclick, pls delete*

ZOS_KaiSchober · June 2016

The CP cap raise is really coming, but don't get your hopes up too high - it's a very small raise.

Dromede · June 2016

I'll be happy with a 51 point raise for starters... And 50 more each next quarter/update, I think it's reasonable.

Racial passives - they better not turn everything upside down so that people pay for race change. I'm all for buffing the currently less desirable races up to par, please just don't Nerf the already good ones!

51 is just fine Kai, we don't really want to aggreviate the power creep curve until we have some kind of system that allows us to scale the content's difficulty to our needs. Like the Torment I - VI system on Diablo III

mb10 · June 2016

Please no nerfs to any racial passives!

Just buffs to Argonians, Nords and Orcs

To be honest I really hope they don't remove the swimming speed passive from argonians.

And no, this is not a joke.

They might as well keep it and add other things to their racial passives

Nord's are fine they don't need any buffs and I would say the same about ORcs their pretty good right now as well.Especially onna Stam Sorc Orc Stan Sorcs are like sonic on the battlefield.
