What happens when CP levels get so high that ALL trees are maxed out for a character?

Thunderknuckles · March 2018

So I understand that with Summerset CP is going up another 30 points. This got me to pondering, once again, as to what will ZoS do down the road when CP is so high that all trees are maxed out for a character? As in all passives being at 100? What might they go to next?

That won't be for a very long time. 3600 cp is needed for this.

VaranisArano · March 2018

If the game makes it to that point and is still chugging along, that will have been a fantastic run.

WakeYourGhost · March 2018

When that happens, I assume they'll remove CP entirely suddenly, and replace it with an entirely new system.
Ya know, just to screw with people a little.

Loralai_907 · March 2018

In all likelihood, the game will close before we get to 3600 cp.

Diabolus1989 · March 2018

If that did happen eventually, I imagine they would alter the constellations. Add more stars, or allow you to place more points into the stars.

Then again, it's such a long way away, they could've scrapped the whole thing by then and have had something else implemented.

Skayaq · March 2018

If they keep the rate at 30/quarter it will be 24 years before we reach that point, I don't think it is something worth worrying about right now.

Darkstorne · March 2018

Either new skills and new high level unlocks for each tree, or brand new trees entirely. Preferably the latter for more build variety

Wouldn’t need to wait for players to max out existing options before adding new ones either.

To spell it out:
- cap increases 4 times per year, each time 30 points (120)
- we currently have a cap of 720 points
- 3600 - 720 = 2880 points still needed
- 2880 / 120 = 24 years to cap

I doubt the game is still running at that time.

Ley · March 2018

I imagine by then that the game would have gone through some major changes including the champion system.

Enemy-of-Coldharbour · March 2018

I seriously doubt the game will last that long.

Thunderknuckles · March 2018

You guys don't get it. This is actually a....

Nerf Sorcs!

thread.

That is true. ha ha By that time we may be living in caves again.

Oakmontowls_ESO · March 2018

However around 1800 cp you can max all the relevant damage stars for your build but that is still very far off.

It doesn't really matter..at a certain point already yer op

wayfarerx · March 2018

I'm sure the devs will figure something out before 2042.

In 1.6 they gave us max CP on the PTS to play with, it was something like this:

Also when CP first went live they didn't have a cap on the amount we could earn, so someone got to 3600 pretty fast, and it was just nuts. Keep in mind though that the CP system has been modified a lot since introduction.

vamp_emily · March 2018

I think the way it works is they increase CP but then nerf characters. Once we hit max CP points in all trees our characters will be soo nerfed that without cp we couldn't kill a mud crab.

Sweet! Will I be able to fly under my own power and slay entire zergs in PvP with merely a harsh scowl? That'd be neato.

PlagueSD · March 2018

It will be just like "The Secret World - Legends". In that game it is quite possible to get ALL passive and active skills in the game. Now, there are significant restrictions on what skills you can use at the same time. You have 5 skill slots and you can only have 2 weapons at a time, some skills require a specific "primary" weapon. and you can only ever have 1 Elite skill on your bar (basically an ultimate).

Want to change your role from DPS to Healer. Just modify your "anima distribution" from a DPS role to Healer role, and change weapons/skills (at no cost). Your gear stats will automatically update to your new "build". You don't even have to farm gear, although there are certain weapons/items that are better at specific roles than others, it's not really required.

Dredlord · March 2018

Then they will nerf our characters by about 20-25% and introduce Epic Champion points so we can grind it all back again...

Goshua · March 2018

the only person still playing by then will have a sense of accomplishment

NewBlacksmurf · March 2018

Lol well I’d guess they will call it something else just like they did with Veteran Ranks. I recall that same question arising just before launch on PC....when they wrote that VR wasn’t a good thing to add

Because they said they can’t fgure out how to remove it....or what they meant was they didn’t want to change the game that much....it’ll just be a new thing in 2 years

Or they’ll sell this to EA

Probably hybrid will become a thing

driosketch · March 2018

Even it you just wanted to have 120 star passives unlocked in every tree, that would still be three years from now.

Nebthet78 · March 2018

Frankly, I think nothing is going to happen other than more nerfs like they have already been doing because of the CP creep. I'm finding it less fun to do the same thing over and over again in this game, when they keep taking away any little bit of progression your character gets that makes them a little stronger that allows you to do the harder content, that you wouldn't otherwise be able to do due to disability or not min/maxing.
It's no wonder people are leaving or only come on for a new DLC, do the story and then leave again. I'm tired of being set back again and again and again in this game because they can't balance things properly or they didn't think it out properly before implementing it.
