Returning player with only one question

K0TKA · May 2015

I stopped playing in the midst of the very many and heated 1.6 XP discussions. I felt that it was pointless since I was in the beginning of Cadwell's gold and would get no recognition or champion points for the massive amount of quests I had done in Cadwell's silver.
So, what happened in the end? Did they award champion points based on total earned XP or not? I'm a bit confused as to whether I should continue my VR7 templar through Cadwell's or just reroll?. In other words: do I have a shortage of champion points at this point or not?
(Also, if anyone can point me in the direction of a friendly guild (preferably Swedish/Nordic) that doesn't kick me out due to sporadic playing I'd be happy. I was lonely when I started out the game one year ago and still am.)

Why don't you check it out yourself?

They awarded CP based on your VR level.

Very bad copy/paste quote from the 1.6.5 patch notes.

Any Veteran Rank character that logs in after the system goes live will get 5 Champion Points added to the account for each full Veteran Rank that character has achieved.
Partial credit will be given for XP earned within a Veteran Rank. This is based on a fraction of the total XP contained within the level. One Veteran Rank is currently 1,000,000XP, so the conversion system will grant you one Champion Point for every 200,000XP within a Veteran Rank.

For example, if you are Veteran Rank 12 and have 800,000XP progress towards Veteran Rank 13, you will receive 59 Champion Points after the system goes live.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Only the conversion system will use 200,000XP for one Champion Point the day the system goes live in Update 6. This is not what it will take to earn a Champion Point while playing normally once the Champion System is live.

It is possible that a Veteran Rank 1 character may not have earned 200,000XP into Veteran Rank 1. In this case, you will not receive a Champion Point after the system goes live.

Champion Points are shared across all characters as the system is account wide, but for the conversion of XP to Champion Points, no more than 70 Champion Points will be given to an account.

A VR14 character can receive up to 70 Champion Points depending on how much XP into VR14 they are, but 70 is the maximum the conversion system will give out for the account.

If you have multiple Veteran Rank characters, you will receive credit for each Veteran Rank upon logging into each character (provided the account has not reached 70 Champion Points given out in the conversion).

Only currently existing characters created before Update 6 goes live are eligible to claim points from the conversion pool. Once they are claimed, they will move into an account-wide Champion pool that all characters can use. You must have at least one Veteran Rank character in order to receive Champion Points from this conversion pool to your account.

The 70 Champion Points from the conversion pool will never get more points added to it - only subtracted. If there’s a situation where you don’t use up all 70 points once the system is live, they will never be used since this only applies to characters you have preceding Update 6.

Thanks man, it's good they actually listened to the complaints about losing XP/points for Cadwell's quests. This means that it's probably smart to finish Cadwell's gold, which is great news! Time to dwelwe into whether I should discontinue my templar tank build and just go full heal...
