Confused about vet rank removal and my characters armor

Okay, my original understanding was that they would give you up to ten CP per vet rank on your highest character if you didn't already have them, and that each vet rank would count as 10 CP. So, if you had a vet rank 14 character and didn't already have 140 CP, you would be bumped to 140 CP and still be able to wear your old vet 14 armor (which would require 140 CP to wear).

But looking at the PTS patch notes, now it's saying 2.5 CP per vet rank for your highest character.

So I've got a PS4 character with well under 70 or 80-something CP at vet rank 11 (wearing vet rank 11 armor) and a PC character at vet rank 5 (wearing vet rank 5 armor) with about 35 CP. So will they both be naked when I log in (unable to wear their armor) after the Dark Brotherhood patch?

    I believe this is two different systems.

    My understanding is you will be kicked up to the required CP to make sure you don't lose any of your current items, if you're below the CP level required.

    Vets also get 2.5CP for every vetran level they have on their highest level character. So if you had 340CP at Vet 11 you would be boosted to 367/8. - 2.5 x 11 = 27.5, so depends on rounding

    In your case, does that mean you get boosted to 110 to be allowed to use the gear, then get a bonus 27/8 for being Vet 11? Meaning you could then use Vet 13 gear

    I don't know. I haven't seen that answered anywhere.

    But I guess importantly, they've said you will have access to your current gear at the very least.

    My PTS characters didn't get any additional CP at all. The CP points are exactly where they were on LIVE at the time everything was cloned on the PTS.

    I thought the 2.5x bonus was supposed to be applied to anyone with VR characters, but apparently not?

    On my phone so forgive me.

    You don't have more CP on one character than then other. By this I mean if you have earned 80cp on your vr11, ALL your other characters have that too. Any CP you earned on your other vet, also applies to all your characters. So look how many you have in total (not per tree). So if you have 30 in each star, you actually have 90 CP total. I'm not sure how to look on PS4 but somewhere it may tell you your "champion rank" when on a vet character - that number is how many CP you have.

    They did not include in the patch notes about giving you free CP if you need it to wear your current gear, but I'm sure they will as they have often stressed you will still be able to wear your current gear.

    I certainly hope so, since my CP is very low relative to my VR rank. I leveled my VR mains mostly back before CP and when CP gain was very low.
