PC/Mac Patch Notes v2.7.9

ZOS_GinaBruno

OVERVIEW
The Elder Scrolls Online v2.7.9 is an incremental patch that fixes several issues surrounding the Grouping Tool, furnishings, and general gameplay. We’ve also re-enabled Champion Points in Cyrodiil and made a few changes to AP gains. In addition, we have adjusted the timeframe that the luxury furnisher Zanil Theran will be present, based on feedback received.

The size of this patch is approximately 730MB. Note the patch size for the English client is going to be slightly larger than German and French due to some minor audio fixes.
