DAMMIT --- why didn't they tell us?

Why didn't they tell us they were going to mess with our points and we would have to re-assign our ability points?
I would have written down how I had things apportioned and now I have no idea what points I had in which craft and in which attributes. I've got a pretty good idea how my points were in Magicka and Health and Stamina but among the crafting and weapons etc. I have almost no idea. There are so many places to have put points that I'm not sure how many points I had in which craft / ability.
Grrrrr.
On the positive side, we get to do a partial respeck without having to pay gold to do it so it's a good chance to fix mistakes we might have made in assigning points --- if we can remember what we didn't like after we did it.

If I wanted a Signature I would have a Signature --- but i don't want one so I don't have one.

✭✭✭✭That is pretty strange. I could write down my entire build on both of my V14s if I had to. Reassigning points shouldn't be that huge of a problem.V16 Uriel Stormblessed EP Magicka Templar(main)
V16 Derelict Vagabond EP Stamina DK
V16 Redacted Ep Stam Sorc
V16 Insolent EP Magicka Sorc(retired)

Stonesthrow✭✭✭✭Only pain for me is remember the morphs on things I don't use that often, especially if I'm in a hurry.
Last time left a bunch of stuff unactivated and waltzed around with 50 extra skill points.0 -
ZOS_GaryA✭✭✭✭✭Hey there @Arizona_Willie,
The Attribute Points were completely reset due to the changes stat scaling when entering Veteran Ranks. This will allow you to place your attributes as needed with the new system in place (35% less stat gain on veteran ranks, but you get an attribute point with each VR to compensate).
For the skill reset, it only resets the skill points for the abilities that were listed, which are:- Annulment
- Death Stroke
- Impulse
- All two-handed skills
- All one-hand and shield skills
- All dual wield skills
- All bow skills
Aside from these instances, your skill points will remain untouched. This is to accommodate major changes to the skills that are listed, and to allow players to replace these skill points as their preferences may change.
We appreciate your patience!Edited by ZOS_GaryA on November 3, 2014 9:27PM5 -
Beesting✭✭✭✭I wonder if the 35% less stat gain also means my v14 main will have less health i.e. less than 2500 health, i guess i will have to wait and see how it pans out.Beesting, Bosmer Magica DK, AD EU, crafter
Slager, Dunmer Magica DK, DC EU, pvp
Farmer, Dunmer Magica DK, AD EU, trials build
Every major patch looks like the end of the world but somehow i just cannot stop playing.0 -
Stonesthrow✭✭✭✭You have 14 more points to spend, why would it be less?
The 35% only applies to the VR points, right?Edited by Stonesthrow on November 3, 2014 5:35PM0 -
ZOS_GaryA✭✭✭✭✭Hey there @Stonesthrow,
The stat gains that you get from hitting each veteran rank have been reduced by 35%, so your base stats will be affected at all veteran ranks. The additional attribute points were added to compensate for the reduction.2 -

They DID tell us, you just weren't paying attention. Sad that you don't know your toon's build but don't blame them--they did forwarn us..2 -

Thanks, what I thought then... the 35% only applies to the 14 vet ranks.
Makes sense.0
