We are playing in Battlegrounds because CP is stupid, skill less and for scared noobs
Sheild Stacking Sorcs and No Death Builds, that is all it is anymore. Drop a big Ultimate, sheild stack, run away.. it is crap.

and I have 755 CP, but I really don't want to play where the average is a 20 minute fights and no one dies... where people just walk around trolling each other with their no death builds.. where stam builds all suck ... and sheild stacking sorcs are 90% of the population.

DO THE DEVELOPERS EVEN PLAY THE GAME?
I really don't think so, because it was way better the first year, back when people actually were afraid of dying.

    I specifically avoided battlegrounds because of the no-cp.
    No-cp and small set objectives/groups meant that there were approx 3 builds that were at least 4-5 times more effective there than anything else.

    Yeah. CP will greatly balance that out when everyone tanks up just more because of the added resources and the mitigation increase. It's gonna be even more fun seeing people facetank than now.

    Unsure if you are moaning about the CP shift in BG or if this is a Nerf Sorc thread as its crosses lines a bit. Nerf Sorc threads are dull now, and any reference to shield stacking is QQ rehetoric.

    But 100% agree that adding CP is going to change the pace of BG for the worse, and punish those on low CP who can be competitive right now - like an Arcade mode of Cyro.

    I'm fine with CP being added, but they should have a No-CP queue also.

    CP or no-cp have nothing to do with skill. It's all a preferance. I play both mostly no CP. This is probably a try to save bg's on consol because no-CP seems very unpoupular there.

    Exactly, it will actually depend on skill instead of who gets the first crit to make the 2-shot happen.

    So you are saying the skill comes from CP?
    Couldn't the same skill have been used without?

    That's the CP you can actually use. But you can gain CP far beyond that cap up to 3600 total. You just can not use more than whatever the current cap is.

    The point being that he's at cap, emphasizing that he dislikes the net impact on the gameplay, not that he'll be at some disadvantage with the change.

    Another issue is that 3 out of 4 game modes heavily incentivize tanky builds. And even in Deathmatch it's advantageous as long as you coordinate well as group and get your kills through combined pressure on single targets. Can't wait to have more of Chaosball or CTR when CP are introduced and every tank is sitting on the objective for 15 minutes.

    I agree with OP.

    The only thing CPs really do is smooth the drawbacks of the builds in the damage, sustain or survivability. You made tanky build w/o damage? Well, CPs will help you to boost it. Ganger with a small number of opportunities for survival? CPs will give you survival and sustain.

    Non-CP PVP puts far more difficult conditions. This not only makes the battle more skill-sensitive, but also make it more careful to create a build. Where complexity is there is a fun.
    Everything is viable

    As i said in the patchnotes thread for me this change to cp bgs is bad.

    As a mainly PVE Player i use my CPs for that. Atm i switch my gear and go in BG. After the patch i normaly had to set my cps new for 1-2 rounds bg and than back when raid starts...
    Or i can leave cp as pve setup and be ***

    CP was the worst idea since anything, it is impossible to balance a game with a system like that. I didnt like BGs before, but now I wouldnt touch it with a diseased 10 foot pole.

    Once you reach the cap you can keep earning chapion points, but you can't use them.

    I think many people feel that CP is their 'reward' for playing the game... and when they're forced to not use their hard-earned CP, it's a slap in the face.

    The thing is: CP does not offer more variety. I have laid out some reasons here https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/4506264#Comment_4506264
    and i have not read any counter arguments yet.
    I would love to understand the reasoning of the devs to do this.
