Will equipment CP raise?

BossXV · December 2016

Will equipment go above 160cp,

Probably a yes, but won't be a while?

But the limit will eventually stop somewhere? Right? Where?

And do you want it to raise?

Tryxus · December 2016

Only if we get a token system or are allowed to upgrade the lvl of our weps/gear

Rohamad_Ali · December 2016

No . Just don't go there .

Yet you did raise the point.....

Paneross · December 2016

People will leave the game if that happens.

the thought of endlessly grinding for, and or, crafting gear for hours on end sends chills and goosebumps all over...

took me about an hour and a half yesterday to put together a new set for one of my non-vets...

I know it'll happen sooner or later (so sez some of the old and wise mmo folks here)...I'm just hoping it's a lot later than sooner...

I can dream, can't I?

Besides, I don't wanna run vDSA or vMSA dozens of times again just for a Sharpened Destro Staff

Khairiah · December 2016

Already been asked and answered many times. A cp gear cap increase wont happen any time soon.. most likely talking a year or so. Eventually its bound to happen i guess.

Unsent.Soul · December 2016

With content like VMA and how people have ran it hundreds of times, and STILL lacking what they want..

They raise cp level, game over.. unless like mentioned above, raising the level of your current gear.

EldritchPenguin · December 2016

As it stands, there's already very little reason for gear to go above level 50, since higher CP gear already doesn't have any better stats than low CP gear until you get to a higher CP. Raising it would not only be entirely nonsensical, but would also cause many players to quit because they don't want to endure more horrific RNG to get their BiS items.

Enemy-of-Coldharbour · December 2016

If they raised the gear level without providing a way to improve existing gear (and jewelry) I would leave the game. I'm not grinding everything over again. I have better things to do.

I know....its because I'm afraid it will lol, want your guy's thoughts if our dooms day will come

BossXV · December 2016

Hopefully ZOS will know we don't want it raised, and they wont

flintstone · December 2016

I just got to the point of gold weapons and mostly gold armor at vet16. If they raise weapon and armor levels and make my stuff useless like they did my vet12 and then vet14 gear......thats the day I'm DONE!.

I was early beta and have subbed from the start......I will not have my gear trashed again.

So have most if not all of us who have been here since early beta, not many of the old guard left.

But I doubt there will be a equipment cp increase for a good while yet, but I do think it will come, it has too, when others have caught up.

Cazic · December 2016

I doubt it. At least not any time soon.

The time it takes to get a full set of cp160 gold gear right now is just right.

If they do, when they do, they better have a darn good upgrade system that doesn't screw over people like you who have spent the time to get the best gear

redspecter23 · December 2016

They would be better of to just remove levels from gear altogether and have it scale with you than raise the cap. Any gear under cp160 is irrelevant currently. A gear cap raise is pointless in a game where you scale to cap anyway. The fact that it's pointless, illogical and generally a negative experience for many players isn't likely to stop ZOS from doing it unfortunately. If it's handled poorly, it will result in some percentage of the population just leaving for another game rather than grind the RNG madness here again... knowing full well that they will have to do it a 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc time as well whenever ZOS whimsy dictates another gear cap increase.

Took me a loooooong time to get all gold VO including Jewelry. 30+runs and probably 20 vet

nordsavage · December 2016

I would rather see new craftable gear sets, jewelry set piece crafting, alterable gear such as changing appearance and traits (Especially since my Imperial edition does not convert anything anymore even dropped sets with basic motifs.) With how much work end game gear takes to acquire and considering how many still do not have what is available due to bad loot tables it would be foolish to raise it in even the semi distant future. Do not forget that the One Tamriel update released a slew of updated sets and new monster helms which means there is more gear than there has ever been and it is still fresh so upping CP gear cap anytime soon is pointless. We also just had the Orisnium event and many players just now received hard to aquire vMA weapons in bulk, who would want to waste that work. Many end gamers that I know would quit if this happened soon. This game is barely worth playing as it is sometimes and would be much less so if you had to put in hundreds or thousands of hours again with best in slot gear being so terrible to acquire. Raising caps is not the solution new and updated content are.

Nestor · December 2016

Thing is they don't need to raise gear caps. That is an artificial grind just to achieve parity.

They have recently introduced scads of new Dropped Sets and ways to get the older still desirable dropped sets. That has created it's own gear rush/grind, but at least most people seem to enjoy it. People are not lamenting that their old stuff feels useless.

Next, they need to offer new crafted sets, and tweak/redo existing crafted sets, that will create the next gear grind, without making everyone feel that what they have is useless.

Yes @Nestor . Well written .

Another idea someone posted was giving crafters the ability to change motifs for players gathered drop sets . I really like that idea if it can be done where the gear that is bound can only be motif swapped and then returned , not worn by the crafter as that would bypass the bound system .

New crafted sets . I would really like to see some new Majic based sets on par with all the stamina sets out there . Also when Wrobel ever gets around to making health a more valuable stat , some new sets to help that shine as well .

Exactly this. It is a lot more fun to farm for a set when it's like "That set bonus sound great for my build" instead of "this item has 2% better stats"

Riga_Mortis · December 2016

With the inevitable nerf/change to proc sets incoming, they are making those sets less desirable(maybe).
There are only so many ways to arrange stats on a set, that could lead to cp160 becoming stagnent, thus leading to gear lvl increase sooner rather than later.

Hope Im totally wrong tho

when Imp City was release there was already what was then V18 mats/gear in game that was data mined...so it is already there and has been for a year just sitting and waiting and growing fat ready for the day it will roll all over us and flatten the life out of Tamriel

Silver_Strider · December 2016

I honestly don't see them doing it any time soon.

After all the work to get 1T out, having to scale every area to CP160, adding all those new sets as well as scaling old sets to CP160, raising the CP at ANY point in the near future would just flat out negate all that work, unless they rescaled all that too. However, that would create a further problem with new players, who would just have all that much harder a time trying to catch up and be accepted by a player base that (at least in part) kicks them from any group activity for not being max ranked, discouraging new players from even playing the game.
