XP/CP formula in CP 2.0

Starlock✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Since this is a totally new system our CP lvl should be based on our total XP earned. That is the fairest most correct way of doing the transition.
If it is true that they aren't doing this, I don't understand what the rationale is.
There are a few things I'm nervous about with the new CP system, and how they plan to treat XP progression is definitely one of them. Effectively erasing XP players have legitimately earned is not cool. Especially since there are XP boosters in the cash shop and that makes it quite literal stealing from anyone who used these.5 -

It'll be the same argument for not upgrading our vMA weapons - we aren't having anything taken away so tough. Honestly, there's nothing to reward loyalty any more, so what if we've played (and subbed) 5+ yearsPS4 EU2 -

yes but they stated for years that after 810cp it was costing quadruple to level up... i want real xp earned = real champions points in the new system...
example if i have 1010cp, 200 over the base that i pay 4x higher to get... i shoud get 810+800 = 1610cp in the new system
otherwise it will just be a kick in the ... for people that have been grinding for years the hard way, and a real give away for new players it would feel like a perfected maelstrom weapons screw all over again

They are constantly catering for new players/casuals. Nothing for us long time vets that been supporting this game for years. They just give us the middle finger really.7 -

Nope they arent, it will be very fast until 1200 cp then its like quadruple more for each cp. So everyone will be around 1200-1500 cp in the entire server1 -

Not everyone, just the people who dont grind like they are trying to get a raise at their job.
I feel bad for the PVP crowd, they have zero level playing field now. No way to have the mits and DPS and Healing capped out now. High CP will rule the field, with grinding being a very slow catch up mechanic.4 -

yeah, like less than 1% will be outside the 1200-1500 range.0 -

The new "cap" for xp is 1020
There is still a penalty past 1020 CP.4 -

Is penalty still 1.5 post 1020?
Will have to plug it into a stylesheet and compare to old one to see how many cps is the difference.

✭✭If it's going to take this kind of XP to get to 3600CP... this is incredibly unpleasant.
I mean, you see WAY more people excited that they finally reached max level 810CP, ZoS, than complaining there's no progression afterwards. These kinds of XP requirements along the way make it absolutely out of reach of most people and that's incredibly demoralising.1 -

Did you recently do a big XP boost? PTS is a copy of where you were about a month ago.Patchnotes on PTS stated:
@ZOS_GinaBruno can you please clarify this? is this intended? How it must work?
after 3rd PTS patch, this is what we have:
LIVE CP
PTS CP
...... we will lose CP??!!!

✭✭✭✭✭With a change to the "soft cap" of 1020 in the formula. It is a reduction of XP needed to get to the same level of about 20-30% across the board.
That's a fairly hefty nerf on it's own.
(If it's supposed to be 1200 instead of 1020, it's a 44% nerf to reach the soft cap)
Just changing the soft cap results in a change of 1/3 to 1/2 in the amount of TOTAL XP that you need to get.
Also, 1020 may have been picked because that's where we'd be if hadn't paused CP gain by 30 each patch? Or at least close to there.

This is concerning, and probably intentional. We will know for certain it is intentional if it launches this way.
Potentially more concerning will be how expansions to the CP constellations play into this issue. If they keep adding constellations as suggested, the need for more and more CP may only intensify. Which also is perhaps very intentional - MMOs are designed to be addictive and to trap players in gameplay loops or "grind" as it is sometimes called. One of ESO's strengths is that it has NOT been excessive on that front; what we may be seeing is a reversing of that. That'll have some pretty significant implications for the game. Hmm.6 -

If so, I don't think it's a good idea. There's much fancier grind simulators on the market, for example BDO. And not having to grind too much is one of the best things about ESO, there's a lot of players who can't play a lot so being able to do content without much grind is a plus.Dro-m'Athra Destroyer | Divayth Fyr's Coadjutor | Voice of Reason
