I doubt they will raise the CP cap. Fengrush made a clear point about its faults that make me agree that the CP system is flawed.

As for combat in the next patch you are wrong, everything will be focused on Magicka DPS the games DLC has always been a huge tug of war between Stamina and magicka.

Though I doubt Sorcerer will get the complete overhaul it needs with @Wrobel in charge on combat development.

Quite frankly I expect him to boost proximity detonation before he touches a class he intentionally broke into a rigid build to remain competent.

ZOS scaled SO to CP160 and if the next patch will raise the cap to CP180 they can do it again...
Sounds very smart

Youre baiting right ? hehe.

I think we may well have housing and such things in Q3.
Judging by the way Rich Lambert was eager to divulge such info and speculate that kind of ETA at the last conference.
NB speculation is not confirmation !

Normally you only get level rise with new content + experience.
I really don't think the content will be a new zone if they want to release this other quality of life stuff.

So same level, same cap, more balance work, many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many bug fixes and probably a major review on a lot of systems as they are now.

Vet removal has bought with it a shed load of issues that need ironing out.
Probably a new zone in time for new year period though

please please no gear level increase ever

@Personofsecrets out of curiosity why not? It is a MMORPG or something like that.

partially yes
It is a grey rainy Sunday afternoon here in Holland and I needed a break from playing.

but levelling currently a Stamina Sorc, a completely other kind of character than the rest of my account, I need to make and obtain other Armor sets than I have in my Tank set Armory.
and that involves a lot of invest !
So... practically:
go for purple and no Hakeijo's or for better ?
(Weapon always gold).

And thinking about that, I was also wondering how ZOS is going to handle this horizontal progress regarding the Armor set level in general.

My current best guess is that the Armor set CP cap will be kept substantially lower than the CP cap.
Because CP levelling by the CP catch up mechanism goes very fast to the Armor set CP cap, also new players can obtain the latest endgame gear, that is not behind a grinding wall, pretty fast.

Ah...levelling a stam sorc.
Worried if investing in any gear will be a waist of time, materials and effort ?

I would love to think gear level isn't gonna go beyond 160.
But the only commitment was they wanted gear and level to be handled separately.
I am not even convinced its been done in the interests of horizontal progression.

After all, they could have kept gear at v12 and let levels hit v16 if they really wanted to.
No wasted resource gathering, crafting and gear.
Content would still be easier for v16 with v12 gear than v12 players with v12 gear regardless.
Could have been scaled to v16 players with v12 gear.

I would just knock up some temporary gear myself.
I find it almost impossible to get gold tempers these days.
Although I have been advised crafting writs is the only way to go.
Then you have to burn through all the mats, to do the writs, to get the tempers though
Considering the gulf in mats required for v16 stuff that gets annoying fast.
Purple power is reasonably plentiful and you can knock out 10 v15 pieces for oone single v16.
If you can suffer the losses, I'd go cheap for now until we see what ZOS real intentions are.

Nothing changes.
If you have a craftbag full of gold and v16 mats then it doesnt really matter I guess.

EDIT: of course...they did make a big thing of seasonal gear once a year ?
Perhaps we will jump 20 gear cp every year ?

If there will be higher cp gears one day...

There will be new mats for cp 170 and cp 180 if any.
Another material for 190 and 200.
Also the recipe will be the same ... like 15 vs 150.

Please don't increase the gear cap or the forums will get flooded by hamsters grinding the vMSA wheel having to start over.

I dont want to Farm new gear every 2 months. If this is the content they offer, they can screw themselves.

It took months to get bis equipped!!!!!

@Doncellius

I know I can't wait!

Silver swords with Mithril armour ftw!

I also miss the Fine Steel daggers:

CP cap should be raised to 1002 as soon as possible, in my opinion.

Gear cap, however, should not be raised at all, but some kind of random attribute enchant or overenchant system should be introduced that offers nearly endless improvement options for gear but only makes it minimally stronger or makes it just look more unique so hardcore players have some way to still progress in the game.

((ESO also badly needs some form of class specialization system or skill enchantment system (or Spellcrafting). Only 4 classes that have gained no new abilities since launch but instead have had all their existing abilities changed over and over again. Everyone has to respec once every 3 months but then we all respec to the same build again which is the new best build in the updated meta. I don't feel very unique as a Magicka DK when all other Magicka DKs in the game are pretty much the exact same build, including gear (and difficult content like VMA drives everyone to use the same, optimized builds).
The Champion system, on the other hand, should really be converted into a vertical progress system where players can unlock more passives to choose from but can only have a limited number of passives (one per category) activated at the same time so new players can unlock one passive for each category fairly fast and there's not too much of a power gap between new players and veterans. Veterans would just have more passives to choose from (could only be changed at specific NPCs/stations in towns).))

But that's just my opinion. Feel free to disagree/hate/flame/ignore.
