Thanks team! Excited for early access tomorrow. Been working 16 hour days since Thursday for emergency storm work and excited to just get home and relax in Vvardenfell.

I have no characters over level 35. No champion points at all. Are basic skill points going to be reset as well?

Been playing on and off for two and a half years and don't even know what Champion Points are!

No, but you might some skill points returned if a passive dropped from 3 levels to 2. If you wanted to redo skill points the respec will be cheap.

Once you get level 50 champion points come into play.

I might have to give the skill respec thing a go on my character then.

Your note says cheap respecs. It does not say Skills reset, only Champion Points.

Can you please confirm whether actual skills will be reset at login?

Get Chardump at http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info940-CharDump.html. Dumps character attribute, skill, and champion points in an easy to read XML file. If you're on console, then take screenshots.

Will people who already spent a skill point on the last upgrade lose a point, can somebody in the PTS check it to make sure? I know that when you cure vampirism or lycantropy you lose all of the points there, permanently.
Should I respec before the prepatch?
Sorry for my english.

You do not lose those points there permanently.

You need to drop all skill points first and then go get cured. If you cure before dropping the points, they are just in limbo. You don't lose them, but since you did not reset they become inaccessable until you pick up vamp or werewolf again. Dropping skills first fixes this problem.

Skills will not be reset. You might get some points refunded if the passive dropped to two levels from three.

Install MyBuild add-on and take screen shots.

Thanks for the information. I just now looked for this and found another addon, which looks like the replacement.

"My Build Continued" is a continuation of Eugene Aksenov's original "My Build" Add-on.

This is an all character's build information add-on in one window. With this add-on, You can take a screenshot of your build so you can share it with others or publish it to forums to show it off.

You can now adjust your equipment, stats, and skills on the fly with the new "Refresh Button". No need to relog to update your stats.

"My Build" window will be displayed with chat command /mybuild, or you can bind a hotkey to toggle it.

A link would be nice for us noobs that never heard of this before....

Any idea where I can find the final patch notes for today's update?

They will be appearing in the Patch Notes and fixes area but usually only close to time that the final patch is ready for release as they always check for any code that went AWOL or did not pass its test. And usually will be linked to all the Natch Potes posts as soon as anyone sees them (usually even before Gina has finished loading all the pages)

@Borvath , they're not lost. Should you reacquire the skill line, the points are still placed and thus respec-able. It's why it's recommended to respec before curing.

Not to be insulting man, but please read up a thread's posts before asking question in it, this exact question has been asked and clearly replied a few posts before.

Well... massively disappointed in ESO for not giving players a slot for the new Warden... greedy money grubbing attitude. Such a shame.

Easiest to start with Minion and search the addon name.

Direct link to My Build Continued for details and manual install.

Guess I should have read this on the 19th and played this weekend.

You're not going to want to have the same CP allocation with the changes.

pfft.

I just spent eight weeks and several hours, over about five separate configuration exercises on three characters (EACH); to get them exactly how I wanted them, after testing each one.

I dont read these forums until Mondays at 6PM when my online game has been rudely pulled out from under me for 'maintenance/borking' activity.

I have resolved this problem by uninstalling my game.

For those people quoting ADDONs as the solution here, would you please revise your posts; none of the Addons that I use work anymore. So I waited 6 hours to login to a game that has been COMPLETELY and UTTERLY ruined. If I spend 3-4 hours reconfiguring each character again AND THEN wait for the Addon authors to revise their products; it will set me back several weeks.

Time I no longer have.

Which is exactly what is called for in this case...
Steam seems to be screwing me, even with a receipt, it says no access for me....

Uninstalling away we go!

So in order to play at all, I have to buy the 'upgrade'? I can't do like all previous expansions, and just not buy it?

No, not at all. You can play the base game for no extra charge. Just choose continue to pay the base game.

Here is my problem. If skills change enough I might find I can't do what I want with my Magic spec or Stamina spec and need to change to the other spec. Why can't I get a reduced cost for respecing those points to the other as well???

I may have misunderstood your question. But ... I think you DO get a reduced cost? It's a complete refund of CP on first log in, so you can respend those however you like for free. And then it's 1 gold per skill point to rework your skills, until the next incremental patch, which is presumably a week away.

I think @Lirkin is referring to attributes (health, stamina and magicka). I don't believe there is a reduced cost to change those, but I don't remember it being that expensive to reallocate them.
