I am not sure if I like it.

I really like the idea of a CP system, and I want them to keep it going. That said I understand that the CP system could be making characters too powerful.

Maybe the CP system we currently have can be retuned to curb the combat powers of players better, but also add QoL options like mount speed, teleport to way shrine cost reductions, and the such?

The first step to reducing the over-powering of characters with CPs is to remove the ability to allocate CPs to characters before they have reached level 50.

I don't really care about CP but extra crowns sounds nice so :shrug:

Extra inventory or bank space after every 10 CPoints would be good and kewl

I think max CP characters are pretty powerful. It is time to brainwash the users by creating a "social" skill line that will affect how much CP a player can use.

For example, nobody likes a high power troll that runs around spamming skills till you die and then t-bags you. Wouldn't it be nice to alter his/her thinking? Just imagine if they had to make a choice between 1) being a troll and weak or 2) be kind and powerful.

Not sure how this skill line would work but it would be based on some social point system. The more players like you the more powerful you become. The bigger troll you are the less damage you can deal.

The problem is CP is a huge difference and the real reason I am not a fan is because people think CP equals skill. I will see people shouting for trial groups for 810 players as they are putting together a group.

1) hat is wrong they might be terrible.
2) all 810 shows is that you invested a lot of time into grinding.
3) a player that is 180 might have more skill than a player with 810 but can't get into the content because of his CP.

So my opinion on CP is that it should be removed and allow people to convert their points they earned into their new progression.

I recommend a specialist system where you can specialize as a "freeze mage" warden or a "shadow nightblades" stuff like that. Where each role can buff existing moves in that tree. Maybe extend the time slightly or reduce the cost or possibly unlock a 3rd morph for the ultimate that is exclusive to the specialist role.

I've seen other games such as EverQuest and final fantasy 11 use a similar system like earning Merritt points to enhance your class specific stuff.

In a game like this there must be a constant feel of progression or the player base will start to drop off. I don't think crowns offer that feeling of progression.

Spending an hour to earn less than a minute's worth of crowns.

This sounds like a great idea! I don't think ZOS would like it, but I'd personally find it to be a good motivation to keep playing older toons. Usually, I shelve my oldest until new content comes out and delete my mid-oldies as I run out of slots. I'd splash out more for expansion slots if something like this were in place.

CP need to be tuned to: 1, help sustain, 2, QOL changes (costs, crafting, selling/RNG benefits), 3, improving sets.

1 and 3 will help your DPS, heals, tanking but avoid a meta because the balance ultimately is around sets.

2 will help with farming, moving around the map, writ grinding.

The idea being here that the focus of the combat team is around sets. This will hopefully reduce class nerfs, and make balancing easier.

The QOL changes just makes the game more enjoyable. It would be with this system that the catch up mechanic could be permanently capped at 900 but the entire CP unlocked since at about 900 single resource builds are pretty much done. After this hybrids will be the only people getting value out of the system other than the fun of more QOL improvements.

Totally the right direction here. 100% agree they need to stop the power creep and create an alternative progression system. I'd be happy if they cap at 999 and rebalance the system to function appropriately at that level and never go higher. And I agree the alternative needs to be something non-combat related. The problem with getting a tiny trickle of Crowns is that it wouldn't really be a "progression" system anymore, and anyone can buy the "rewards" with cash regardless of their XP. I'd very much prefer % gold gained, % tel var gained, % ap gained, extra resource node yields, # of potions/poisons crafted, better raw material refinement results, and similar bonuses to slowly but progressively reduce/remove supply annoyances for long-time endgame players so they can focus more on the parts of the game they actually enjoy.

Introduce more RPG systems into the game and let us sacrifice CP points to put into those systems, and then we can earn back the CP points but because it takes more xp the more TOTAL CP we earned that is a very large investment. That way it becomes like a currency too.

Just need to think of interesting RPG systems to put into the game for this. I am no game designed, but I would like to see more stuff like justice system and alchemy. Also interaction with NPCs like in making them friends or rivals. Also have places you cannot access unless you contribute to the group. Probably tons of ideas.

i only say yes because im close to cap and greedy. but i don't think it should be 1000, keep it at 810. or even lower it. I know they'd never give out free money but it's a cool idea.

Just go back to the Vet Ranks system to discourage people from rolling alts... CP available across all characters makes rolling alts too easy.

This idea would impact TESO's finances in a bad way, and Zenimax needs them flowing in order to not turn into a pay-to-win industry like (almost?) all of the eastern MMOs.
