CP or no CP?

No CP

If you go play No-CP you'll be amazed at the amount of 'strong' players that get lit up with ease. No-CP also breaks a lot of the meta-chasers builds and shortens their crutches significantly.

Literally anyone can permanently survive against another player in CP, if they want to (Survival seems to be the main go-to for most players as some kind of proof of skill, zzzzz) - It's mind numbing and doesn't take any skill to be aided by infinite stats.

In CP I can have fights that last 15 minutes to the point where you stand still and just all walk off in different directions - In No-CP, I either die or they do.

I've had these fights, and several duels like them. Snooze fest.

BGs only for me

CP

I selected CP for a very simple reason. There is literally nobody playing No-CP on Xbox NA. Hell even Vivec is a ghost town these days.

No CP

Before this patch no cp. Right now though, cp 100%. People are doing to much dmg with the enchantment nonsense. No cp feels really bad at the moment.

No CP

No CP Battlegrounds are it for me. I don't like Cyrodiil in general, and it makes me feel bad to roll over some poor guy that's got 600 less CP than I do.

That depends on platform probably. Probably it was less populated during the Witches Festival event though, just like other PvP areas though. On EU-PC it's quite lively and usually the faction scores are pretty close. A couple of months ago was something like 60K/58K/57K at the end.

Basically this.

BGs are great and all but it's easy to forget while playing them some of the bigger fish are CP exclusive and run in large groups.

I've been having so much fun playing the small scale stuff in Cp (Outposts, towns, resources) but I'll admit that sometimes I feel guilty for having an actual and obvious numerical advantage against an opponent based on CPs which wouldn't be there on non CP.

In non CP I feel my experience is important, rather than the numbers I've accrued just by playing a game I was gonna anyway.

I prefer no-CP a bit more. No stupid builds that build for a load of defense and then have large amounts of CP into direct damage and physical damage. Of course two classes favor that kind of setup more than all the others...guess their population #s this patch in the CP campaigns?

No CP

Too much lag on CP!

SugaComa · November 2018

Both!?

I discovered the best way to reduce lag is to not group up ... Use guild chat and play that way ... Yes you lose some benefits of groups but it's much better ... If you still want the group perks maybe stick to 6 to 8 max

The game is always calculating but it's also constantly synchronising the group which creates more lag ... I also find not being groups stops 95% of those mini sych load screens

CP

I play in Shor (CP) because the population's low and I can solo-flip resources with ease. I play until I get my rewards of the worthy (transmute crystals) and I'm out.

Back when they locked campaigns (no characters from different factions in same campaign) my main was stuck in Azura (no-CP) and it was unbearable. I'd be in a group of 4 and we'd die to guards trying to take a farm. Then no-CP Imperial City was totally empty, a completely solo PvE experience where all the enemies took forever to kill.

No CP

Taking resources solo is possible on both CP and no CP if you use the right tactic. On CP it was way too easy back in the day, but guards have been buffed since. The trick is to kite the healer and a couple of the 1H+S mobs in the tower, and kill them together with the sorcerer on the balcony, then jump down and finish off the flag guards. That's doable on any class, be it stamina or magicka. But taking resources and towns solo is slow, tedious and boring. That's why I don't like Shor, and my DC characters, for which I set that as home campaign, get the bulk of their AP from BGs. BGs are quite comparable with active campaigns like Vivec and Sotha Sil in terms of AP gain per hour. Even as solo player I had an average of 60K+ AP/hour in both, though BGs tended to be a bit inconsistent due to frequent queue resets.

IC is doable in no-CP. We farmed district bosses & Molag Bal as a 3 man team and it was pretty easy, albeit I had to spec more or less as tank and one of the other players had to off-heal - CP mostly buffs healing & defense. A 4 man team would kill those quite easily. On CP it's possible to solo the district bosses and patrolling ones in the sewers. I beat Molag Bal last week together with another player - both were fully specced as DD and my char was really a glass cannon, with ~20K HP because I don't have undaunted, I was running medium armor and Dubious Camoran; there was actually a 3rd player but the AoE glitched him under one of the grates in the room and he had to get unstuck. We slacked the DPS so he could come back and take credit for the kill too. I don't think it's possible to solo Molag Bal on no-CP but on CP with Imperial Phisique it's quite doable and I've seen some players doing it.
