You're not reaching 3600 from 2000 in day's even if you're going the writ route, not only that, that costs a lot more gold than you think it does.

I'm telling you some streamers did it. I was there at those times.


 

You do realized that he farmed in blackrose prison, then finished with the writs to showcase getting 3600 as part of a max level party right? In that video, it even shows him in blackrose prison grinding... Lol I believe you're proving the point by saying 3600 means nothing, which was the entire point of the post, which is we it needs to be incentivized.

So let me break it down for you bro...
CP10-3600 = 2,207,742,663XP
Let's say outside of an event, your xp rate in blackrose prison is 9.5m an hour. That would be 232.39 hours of grinding.
Let's say during an event, your xp is 11.3m xp an hour within blackrose prison, then it would take 195.37 hours of grinding.

These numbers are real, you can look up a video created by The_Forseti on youtube called "nBRP 11.3M+/9M+ XP per hour (post Plaguebreak nerf)" which shows us demonstrating the correct process of how to grind nbrp for CP.

I'll let you calculate the cost of 150% EXP pots on PC to see how much that runs you an hour. These pots only last 30 mins regularly, and perhaps about 1h 5mins with the correct setup. You should be able to find that it's going to cost more than 50m starting from CP10. lol

So? vBRP, Skyreach, writs, 150% scrolls, whatever. 2300 to 3600 CPs in 10 days. That's the thing.

And that's why reaching 3600 CPs means nothing. A lot more is playing for 10 years.
 

Honestly, I am not sure why you are so intent on degrading someone's achievement. It's unlikely that if such a reward system happened, ZOS would put something really valuable in there. So, it's not like this addition would hurt you in any way, if you are not willing to put your time to it. I am sporting 800+CP for that matter, but I don't feel inferior in any way to people who have much more CP, so I wouldn't mind them having bragging rights or some valuables for the effort they have put into getting those high CPs

Am CP3600. There is no need in any of that.

I earned a lot of gold in the process, not spent.

Also doing writs does not give you bonus xp when using experience scrolls or potions.

It does...

It actually doesn't if you read it, it's only factoring xp gained through combat.

I'm not sure what you're reading. Scrolls/ambrosia definitely apply to quest xp. Training trait does not.

pls dont do this,i dont want to live in black rose prison.

Can we also get Achievement Point milestones?

I don't agree. Reaching 3600 CPs means nothing. It can even be achievable by getting shady gold to buy and do writs, and so you can get to 3600 CPs in a short time.

On the opposite, there are players that have played for 10 years and haven't reached 3600 CPs yet, even when they have played several more years and hours than some players that pushed to 3600 CPs. And those 10-years players have received nothing in return.

Reaching 3600 CPs doesn't necesarily means something.

Even some rich streamers pushed from 2kX to 3600 CPs in days.
 

It means nothing CURRENTLY. The goal is to make it mean something lol

Good Idea OP, however I would preffer adding couple of CP milestones rewards to the game (not just 3600CP).
I would also add some achvievement points milestones rewards. Any new form of "go to" rewards in a game makes us play it more. If you want more "loyality" milestones rewards (account active since beta stuff and so on) why not. Or maybe hours played milestones rewards? Could be cool too. I can already imagine "The Ultimate No life" mount

Also I don't agree that hitting max CP isn't an achievement. We can argue how hard it is, but just a reminder - this game gives us many rewards for very easy stuff (like visiting a DLC area or a visiting a dungeon), so why shouldnt it reward the player for 3600CP?

Those make a lot of sense, especially as each patch some of those would be more and more attainable, which would allow zeni to put up there something actually meaningful as players would generally progress through it every patch no matter how fast.

I can understand people who already got to 3600 desiring some 'reward', but I think the reward is that you successfully grinded there and you can 'wow' some newcomers.

Although I took some breaks, I've played since beta and do multiple random dungeons per day, trials, quests and such, and am still not even 2.5K on my main account.
I don't even bother setting my newly gained CP (after 1650ish?) since it doesn't do anything unless I were planning to swap it between fights.
So when I see people at 3600, I just assume they enjoy grinding and have even more free time than I do.
I'm sure I could do it if I wanted to, but I don't have any desire to grind that much regardless. Everyone's got different priorities /interests/opinions though, which is to be expected.

Overall I don't personally see a good reason to put incentive behind reaching the hard CP cap. I think it would just be unhealthy, encouraging grinding so much and make people feel that they "have to" be 3600, while it has no benefits to actual gameplay / strength of the characters.

I'd probably "retire" (at least, play more casually) soon after if/when I ever get to that level. I'd hope to complete to close to all of the massive amount of content available by then, and likely come back more frequently for new releases.
I won't be someone who rushes it, even if they do add achievements for it.

There is no incentive to go past 1560 as all passives are used up at that point. I don't change the skills already set cuz I forget to go back.

It's a long-term (as in loooong, very, very looong) goal of mine to reach 3600, if possible before they raise the cap again. Hopefully my luck in that respect holds while I earn the remaining points ("only" 900!), but I digress. To me, having that big 3600 number next to my name is its own reward. Or rather, will be. One day, if the world doesn't end first. It's my way of demonstrating how important this game is to me that I'm willing to spend so much time playing it. I understand this is a rather personal way to view the reaching the cap, but it makes sense to me. Also, I level up by doing what I like, which is why it's going to take between 2 and 3 years for me to hit the ceiling. Again, if the world doesn't end first.

With the way the CP system works today, it doesn't make sense to add other incentives to reach max level. Many agree you can get a very nice selection of buffs with less than half of the cap's total. With the armory, you can switch CP setups without having to reset them. Milestone rewards and the excellent idea of unlocking more passive slots should go all the way to 1800. Those are incentives to play more and develop your character to a level that matters more in gameplay than the cap.

That being said, I'm in favor of rewarding passing useful milestones, while I don't see the point of incentives to reach the cap. The idea of "high scores", which I understood to be a list of 3600ers, seems quite unnecessary.

As players get up in CP, I'd like to see the ability gained to gradually increase the number of green slottable skills from 4 to 8. That would be a nice quality of life reward for high level players without any power creep. Something like increasing to 5 slots at 1800 CP, 6 at 2400, 7 at 3000 and 8 at 3600.

This is the way!

Stay safe

Unfortunately, the community in ESO is very distinctly divided between MMO veterans, those who enjoy challenges, crave excitement, like to fight, and feel that what they've achieved is exceptional, and casual players, who at the mere thought that there might be an interesting reward hidden behind something more than a few clicks, go into a rage and feel nauseous. The problem lies in the fact that there is no compromise here (a few rewards like this and a few like that) because every reward that isn't easy to obtain is a sore point for casual players.

Personally, I really like the idea of milestones every few CPs; I don't care what it would be, as long as there's something because currently, CP above a certain level are worthless.

Of course, the best reward would be the ability to use those CP in a useful way, for example, on various QoL features (such as additional equipment slots, etc.).

Though I would like to see certain rewards for certain CP amounts, I do not feel 3600 should be the maximum. CP's should go into the 100.000's, maybe even millions, before granting any rewards at certain levels.

CP's stopping at 3600 is a flaw in the game, it needs to feel endless. Because otherwise, why play?!? We always need to be able to improve, and MMO's are about endlessness and grinding.

PS: And ZOS would sell more exp scrolls if CP's weren't capped at 3600.

CP was capped at 810 for many years, and getting to cp 3600 on older xp curve was a real challenge (I think the highest cp was like 2k or something according to ZOS).
Honestly there is no point in having more than 2-2.2k cps you have all the blue slotables that you will need on your respectable role. Grinding for more than that is just meaningless flex, people who do it gradually by playing is fine, whoever grinds after 2k cp is just wasting his time.

Agreed!

And that is why the CP system needs to be expanded upon to become endless. Same exp curve as it is now, but we can go into the millions of CP's. Ofcourse ZOS would need to come up with many new CP passives and slottables for that to work.

Add the OP's idea to this: Maybe a CP collection reward every 50k CP's. Would give us a reason to play, a reason to grind, a reason to go into higher CP's, and a reason to play for many more years to come.

PS: Players wouldn't have to grind for anything, things like this come eventually if you just keep playing. But the choice to grind something like this out, should be there!
