I'm actually very sceptical about this... they said they will be everywhere exept pvp.. which means new meta with companions in dungeons..?

They announced the chapter and it seems that their store website has crushed lol...

Overland is easy when you have CP and gear. Without CP overland was not easy for me. I have done Vvardenfell first and story bosses made me die and try hard.

Sure, lets scale content to Craglorns difficulty for solo questing, based on CP and gear rating. At least story bosses would feel like bosses.

Overland is easy without CP and gear. Granted, Chapter zones are a bit more difficult, but not hard in any way. It might not be easy for a brand new player, but it is and should be for everyone who plays this game for more than 5 minutes.

There is nothing, absolutely nothing challenging in any quest or zone for solo players (not counting World bosses and Dolmen features, obviously) that cannot be corrected by putting a self healing or defensive skill in your skill bar. With that, everything that’s meant to be soloed is easily soloable. If you refuse to even slightly adjust your build, this doesn’t make the game hard - you’re just not using the simplest kind of tools you have available, e.g. your class skills.

On none of my characters I distributed CP when going from 1-50. On none of them. And I just used the gear that dropped for me. It was still easy as hell.

SWTOR comes to ESO

Another Year. Another CP revamp ignored.

Well the "boost companion HP" CP passive would look a bit weird if they released the CP re-balance before companions.....maybe .

Shouldn't this be cheaper by now?

Well, SWTOR took a lot from ESO lately :P

Wow, so no adjustment to zone difficulties, not even optionally. Or a CP rework in that vein. At least the companions are not lizard pets, I guess. Leveling, gearing, and choosing skills for them is a surprisingly cool feature I wouldn't have thought they would have added.

Ummm... but... I need to know if we can bring them into our homes.

And what kind of "relationship' can we form with them exactly? Asking for a friend.

No one is suggesting that exclusively. Stop with the strawman.

There is such am overhwlimgy dense amount of actual content for solo casual players compared to what seasoned accounts have to do. It's like they sell these sweeping chapter experiences with a big zone and the very audience that fully engages with the games various systems to be a strong as they can be and get told "you get 4 dungeons and a trial every year" and even those have extremely easy normal modes.

There is such a paltry amount of actual meaningful content for end game players in solo and group content that provides agency. Yet it's completely unreasonable that they would like to be able to enjoy the new overland content added to the game without having to arbitrarily handicap themsleves for some semblance of self imposed difficulty?

This companion system is a huge slap in the face to long time players who have committed the cardinal sin of spending their 810 champion points and used well thought out gear sets and ability loadouts, as being the only game expanding feature for the entire year..

Say it louder for the ones in the back. With every Chapter, I feel like I'm losing engagement and character identity because they don't even bother looking at the previous content while trying to add things like this. They're either going to be so OP that everyone is running them or they're so useless that they're just filler content with nothing to write home about.

SURPRISE CP REWORK!

I really like this as there's many times I needed help and couldn't find any. I like the idea of them having a story too. Followers in Skyrim so why not. You only need to summon them when needed so if overland is easy, just dont ask them for help.
