The cap for Champions points will never increase again. It stops at where it is now.

It was announced that they won't add any more Champion points to the game. So no more leveling.

    They should just delete CP, both CP and veteran ranks were pointless to begin with. We should have had max level 60 or 70 and that's it.

    Yeah I hate CP.

    They should remove it and just let us cap out the skill lines in it.

    I'd like to see CP reworked into a more meaningful system where you need to make actual compromises when assigning points. Although I guess capping it is a good start.

    Stopping cp caps is actually important for reasons beyond the obvious trappings of cp power creep.

    Them announcing this now means its possible that more pertinent progression revisions are in the oven.

    Me: Ah, finally. It means there should be less nerfs in the future either.

    Alse me: It literally stop the last character/account progression system in this game which is a bit shame.

    The raising of the cap was just a clever trick anyway. They would just rebalance content around the new cap from time to time so what "progress" you thought you were making would just quietly slide away from you every once in a while. If putting a hold on the cap means fewer nerfs in the future, I can deal with that.

    heh. my assumption that the game would need 5 years of me not playing for the cp cap catching up to my cp was wrong.

    Meh. Couldn't they at least capped it at some round number, like 850 or 900? It looks unfinished now, and that's irksome. :p

    no, they did not say it would never increase again...they said that at some time down the line they may revisit the topic, but for now, they're not increasing the cap for the forseeable future...

    I agree with you but leveling was getting out of control in ESO.

    900 would’ve been nice, 300 in each tree. I do hope they replace CP with some other form of progression if they’re going to stop increasing the cap.

    The 60 CPs from combined Wolfhunter and Murkmire was the only meaningful progression since Summerset, since the gear sets and Blackrose weapons were not useful IMO. It would be a shame to see this slight consolation go away entirely.

    Actually I love CP passives, you do have to think about where you put your points for each character... otherwise you'll miss certain desired passives. I hope CP will stay but will be even more varied.

    that's a different thing altogether...they did not discuss that specific question, and it's assumed that the hard cap will still remain at 3600 although they did not say that CP would no longer be earned.

    They only said that they were not raising the usable soft cap (which is currently 810) this update, and they were not planning on raising it again in the forseeable future, but they did not say they were never going to raise it again.

    PLEASE, OH PLEASE DELETE IT. THEY CAN'T STOP AT 810, THEY JUST CAN'T.

    Even I can't believe how upset I am that they are stopping at 810.

    They need to reintroduce soft caps to all our stats back into the game. THEN and only THEN, will the decisions we make regarding the CP have actual consequences.
    Far too many characters to list any more.

    That's not quite what was announced:
    "The Champion Point cap will not be increased for Update 21, or subsequent updates, until further notice. We are currently investigating the best direction to take the system to have healthier balance overall for the game."
    This was the exact statement. I gather that you are against CP but all we know for now is that the automatic 30CP increase every quarter is suspended until further notice.
    Personally it is the sense of progression I got from CP that has kept me playing all these years. I do agree that it should have an eventual cap.
    I think they should keep CP and just cap it at a nice round number like 900.
    Out of curiosity, all those of you that want CP gone or level progression capped at something low, what level are you at??

    My guess is that they will move towards fixed values rather than % like they do on races.
    that makes it easier to balance as an min max build become less efficient. Probably easier to calculate for servers to.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    10 cp in each tree with diminishing returns factored in, carry the 3, move the decimal, call for pathagoreums (I butchered the sp there) theorum, consult magic 8 ball....

    You won't gain crapola if they would have raised it.

    I appreciate them holding off on the increases each quarter. I also understand why its 270 and not 300. This limits players to 3 major perks. Note, for the most part the 120 point perks are more fluff, where the 75 point perks are more beneficial to combat.

    I do hope they figure out the progression system soon. Not that I am all that dependent on increasing power, I do want new things to try.

    This is flagrantly a lie. No dev ever said anythig like this. All they said was no incresse for this dlc and that theyare evaluating CP.

    Yes, it would cause much power creep to keep cp increasing.

    Sets is that causing power creep the last year.
    And yes sets in the new dungeons look nice.

    Also some of the pvp sets
    Curse eater look nice.

    I'm between CP470 and 480 now. I really couldn't care less about the CP system. I'm more interested in the content of the game and right now it's too easy. Going into group areas alone or fighting world bosses are the only challenges. It feels broken. I want to be challenged by the game's environment. I want to feel dread when entering solo dungeons and delves. So, CP is bad for PVE in my opinion.

    But then there's PVP. I don't bother going to Cyrodiil much because many of the players there are at least 300 CP higher than me and I feel like it's pointless to go there until I too get to max CP. If they increase the cap it means I'll never catch up. Maybe that's the way some people like it. I think its like playing a game where the goal posts keep moving. That's why CP is bad for PVP.

    The topic name incorrect. Leveling stops temporarily.

    I wouldn't like it, if CP system would be deleted, neither gear cap raised.

    That is ok if they change the system. What is the problem with the CP system otherwise? Balance problems? Easy way remove or change the stars that makes the problem.

    CP system is fully vertical progression, what about semi vertical and semi horizontal.
    The vertical part is as now but more simplier and more fix.

    For example you can't spend point just if you reach the cp lvl a star unlocked automatically. For example more damage at cp lvl100 more regen at cp lvl200 etc. It is mean on same cp level everybody is similar if we see only the CP.

    Horizontal progression it is your choise, every cp lvl100 u can choose a passive non-combat theme star (crafting inspiration, war mount, better loot from chest, lower cost of wayshrines etc etc.)

    If cp lvl is unlimited then ZOS can introduce new constellations with new passive non-combat themes (horizontal progression). Like in GW2 the mastery system. I like mastery system much better because has no effect on balance, that is flexible and expandable, and and ANet do it from time to time.
