Are you happy that the CP cap will not be increased for the "foreseeable future"?

Juju_beans · January 2019

Yes

I'm only cp 655 so I'm still playing catchup.

I'm pretty indifferent about CP.
I was excited when CP were first introduced, but that soon wore off. Now I mainly think of CP as a gold sink/can't even be bothered to respec for different playstyles any more. Am interested though what the devs are planning to do...

AcadianPaladin · January 2019

Unsure

I don't play for 'vertical progression' or whatever it's called. I've no problem being maxed and happily staying right there. I find the game to be massive and chock full of things to do - most of which is repeatable. So I'm fine staying where I am or sticking 10 more diminishing return CP in with every major patch.

As far as impact on the game, I understand that some who want this 'vertical progression' are talking about leaving the game. I can also imagine that many new players see others running around with CP810 next to their name and get discouraged as it seems like an intimidatingly unobtainable goal to new players. Not to mention the large gap between new and experienced players in terms of what they can do.

That all said, I get the impression that the halt to CP progression is to allow time to evaluate how to best proceed and address some real challenges the neverending CP system presents.

No

ofc not,zos punish me for playing their game

Acrolas · January 2019

Unsure

If they're interested in a more robust version of soft caps and transferring all CP to a new attributes spread, I'd definitely be on board with that. I do feel the passives and extremely situational pools in each constellation are a little excessive. Perhaps instead of enlightenment you can unlock a daily passive for a certain amount of hours or a certain amount of XP?

I don't know. The potential is there, but there a lot of directions they could go with this one.

No CP increase. Where is that documented?

@Lab3360 it was stated yesterday during the Livestream for the "Season of the Dragon" and Elsweyr reveal. Pretty much exactly as stated in the poll: no CP cap increase in the next DLC or in the foreseeable future while the dev team reviews the CP system.

Thank you.

Translation: Nerf

I wont be waiting around for it

It's not really a "nerf", though. It's just the absence of a (miniscule) buff that people expected to get.

It was miniscule once at max level, but at least it was something. Now there is absolutely no vertical progression once all of your toons are leveled.

Rex-Umbra · January 2019

No

If they are replacing or revamping for Elyswer thats cool but no more progression will suck

Rake · January 2019

No

wanted 900 cp

dem0n1k · January 2019

Yes

I'd be happy if they dropped the CP cap back to 630.

Thalidar · January 2019

Yes

Yep extremely happy for it to occur. It's better they pause it now than continue with a broken system which basically makes you OP at L1. Come up with a better solution than the current easy mode.

I just don't get the complaining about this. You'll still go up cp just like before and how much easier do you want the game to be?

Akrasjel · January 2019

Unsure

But what will they decide to do... maybe something in the direction of the Legacy System from SWTOR.
What are other possible ideas.

leeux · January 2019

Yes

YES... because I'm not playing much and the CP cap was starting to creep up on me

xaraan · January 2019

Other

Indifferent, but leaning toward yes.

I don't care that they stopped it and don't care if they let it keep going, but probably for best.

I'm more concerned after looking at the racial "balancing" they did as to what they will do to replace it.

supaskrub · January 2019

Other

Indifferent,

I have enough surplus cp to rank up every quarter for the next three years if I put my controller down today and walked away from the game. tbf though if I took a 3 year sabbatical then you could safely assume I wouldn’t be coming back.

FlyingSwan · January 2019

Unsure

On the one hand, my CP is at the point where I get futile diminishing returns. On the other, not a lot of point playing a game where there's no progression at all, even if it's largely a psychological thing.

Key thing is that ZOS will probably rework CP in their usual cack-handed way, going at it like a great cumbersome bull in a china shop and breaking the entire thing in the name of 'balance'.

Dont_do_drugs · January 2019

Unsure

lets say, i do understand the reasons. and its good as its been decided tho.

sp_korshun · January 2019

No

Nope, cause when zos "will see what to do with cp system" they'll nerf it like always and maybe re-vamp also to make cp less powerfull and after that will be another thread wave here and some ragequits of old players. Just cause when you're playing this game for 5 years you don't want old content to be hard and competitive, you just want to do it fast. So when i see people who ask to make harder overland content, not to do account-wide achievements, stop increasing cp etc. it seems to me that theese people didn't spent enough time in this game, didn't complete enough achievements and didn't leveled enough chars, so maybe they're not ready to make their decision in these questions? But who cares till crown store is open

DjMuscleboy02 · January 2019

Yes

CP makes such a massive difference. I'm glad it's not going up any more. I ran vma at cp180 the other day on my EU account and it's completely different even with the same gear (minus a vma inferno.) I have such little resistances and damage buffs that I can't burn things I normally burn with ease or survive hits I normally don't even notice. This continues to get worse and worse and we end up with situations like what is currently happening in trials where we essentially just don't do any mechanics. Like groups legitimately don't do mechanics in hof on pretty much any boss, and it's only like 18 months old.

olsborg · January 2019

Yes

CP system needs to be revamped completely or majorly.

LiquidPony · January 2019

Yes

Or maybe some people just have a different take on it than you do.

There are plenty of long-time players with thousands of hours played and boatloads of achievements who are happy that the CP cap isn't going up and looks to be getting a rework.

The notion that halting CP cap increases and possibly reworking CP bonuses is being done exclusively (or even primarily) to appeal to "casuals" or new players is fallacious.

Fischblut · January 2019

No

Next update - all nerfs and no character progression... I will never understand how somebody can like this awful decision

Megatto · January 2019

Other

Well since we can only put 100 points into a single perk, it had to end sometime. I hope they'll come up with something even cooler

IsharaMeradin · January 2019

Unsure

I understand the whole "power creep" thing and the need to do something about it. I was just hoping that one day I'd be able to unlock all the CP passives.

BreakingBats · January 2019

Yes

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

munster1404 · January 2019

No

I would have enough points for another percentage raise in each CP tree if the cap increases. Sob......

Jhalin · January 2019

No

It was the only real progression in ESO

Now we’ve got nothing but gear grinds

Tholian1 · January 2019

Unsure

I like the sense of progression power creep gives.

mongoLC · January 2019

No

No we should be able to use what we earned. But getting cp is so easy now its meaningless.
This game is just stupid now.

Yes. Power creep has ruined PvE by making older content too easy. The game would be much more enjoyable if it had more challenging content than just a handful of the newest dungeons/trials. The game has 34 dungeons and 7 trials, but only 6 of those dungeons and 3 of those trials are still challenging. The rest of the content is literally going to waste.

And yet I still regularly pug with folk who struggle on normal non-dlc dungeons. You don't speak for everyone, despite your assumption you do.

^ Max CP and I still struggle in some vanilla dungeons. People can say L2P all they want, but there are limits and CP helps to ameliorate that and provides some simplicity to perennially weak players.
