Going through the patch notes regarding CP changes introduced with the MW expansion today. I’ve no doubt tweaks will come, but for now and to help me with initial CP reallocation, I took some notes:

New CP cap is 630.

Health, stamina, magicak CP gains are now capped at CP300 with +20% vs the old cap of 20% at CP600.

Gains are on a diminishing returns curve. Generally, 50 points = about 75% of the benefit.


100 points = +15%:
Hardy, Elemenal Defender, Quick Recovery, Siphoner, Mooncalf, Arcanist, Health, Tenacity, Tumbling, Blessed, Elemental Expert, Mighty.

100 points = +25%:
Ironclad, Thickskin, Bastion, Warlord, Shadowward, Elfbain, Shattering blows, Master at Arms, Thaumatage, Precise Strikes.

100 points = +35%:
Expert Defender, Sprinter, Bashing focus, Shade, Physical Weapons Expert, Staff Expert.

100 points = +55%: Befoul.

100 points = +5280:
Spell shield, Light armor focus, Medium armor focus, Heavy armor focus. Spell erosion, Piercing.

100 points = +1650: Resistant.

Edit: Oops. When I moved this post from another thread to here, somehow it made me the thread originator. I can't delete it to fix since that would delete the thread. Oh well. My intent was simply to add this post to hazmick's excellent new thread.

The cutscene with Mannimarco is neat. I wish they had included it from the beginning. The stuff that Lyris and The Prophet tell you makes more sense once you’ve seen yourself be sacrificed. I didn’t plan on going the Coldharbour route again, but new Jerric was too curious not to talk to the Hooded Figure. *sigh*

Also The Prophet must have launched him extra hard out of Coldharbour this time, because he experienced a hard landing.

Some shots from the sacrifice cutscene:

You seem to be in the same situation as the bald guy who is walking in front of you

This does not look good

My turn (I failed to catch the previous sacrifice’s body being yanked from the altar)

Dude, put down the knife and let’s talk

Dead

But death is not the end



Khajiit, I use the Pelinal’s Aptitude crafted set for hybrid builds. It is not ideal, but it is the closest I have come to having a character feel like a battlemage.

This is so cool! I wish Zen would quit cutting the great stuff from the game and/or nerfing it!

I know no one wants to hear me whining, but did anyone else feel like Vvardenfell was...unfinished? Not just Vivec, mind, but it's almost like they didn't complete everything in time and just decided to close things off.

I know they did this with Craglorn on launch so maybe they're planning to expand in the future? They said something to this effect as far as the Sheogorad region goes. (Not on the list to things to do, but is considered, anyways).

I was hugely disappointed in the Clockwork City. I was so excited to be going there based on the previews Zen put out; but on going though it = it was a whole bunch of gorgeous nothing. Barely any enemies, absolutely no loot; way too easy to avoid the traps ... what was all the hype for? It was a lot less than I thought it would be.

Do I feel they pushed it out half finished = not quite that bad. But do I feel they will add to it over time = yes, and in my (humble) opinion = they had better, lol.
