What changed in the game and the progression system since Elsweyr?

Hey friends! I stop playing since a month after Elsweyr launch... and coming back now.
So, what changed since then?
My question is related more to the progression system after 50... build customization... any game features that impact gameplay... etc... (if anyone can answer more focused to the NB class i would appreciate too)
What I do know, is that we had greymoor (a dlc solitude region), some tweeks to the vampire class, and I know nothing else from the past a year and a half.

    Progression is the same. CP is still on hold. Almost everyone doesn't like what Vampire has become now.

    Pretty much this except to say they also added a few more dungeons and a new trial.

    Mostly nerfs and reworks no one asked for since then. Antiquities and Vampire skills are the only truly new additions until gear reconstruction in next Markarth DLC. The never-ending 'balancing efforts' are a veritable see-saw with stuff getting nerfed one patch and then buffed even stronger the next. Nobody knows what they are doing, and there's an ominous nerfing to critical chance coming in the future. No ETA on Champion Point rework afaik, but I seriously doubt any rework will be done there until the end of 2021. The one good thing however is that Werewolf is a lot more viable than Vampire now, ironically.

    Vampire rework is more of a nerf than anything, especially for stamina builds. I still use it on stamblade but it has even more downsides than before so pretty meh, and you need to special foods just to reduce your stage (they flipped the feeding mechanic). The Vampire ultimate is just a reskinned Necro Bone Colossus yet somehow uglier, and not unique to each race.

    Antiquities is okay I guess? It's definitely not bad, with several nice things to get from it. However, they seem seem to struggle with how to properly balance the new "mythic" gear which comes from Antiquities so don't be surprised if they suddenly nerf that gear to uselessness in a future patch.

    Nightblades got a decent buff since then, but they are slightly changed on PTS right now. Rework of the Major/Minor buff/debuffs on the PTS right now could potentially lead to more indirect nerfs to Nightblade in my opinion depending on what gear/skills you use. Both Minor and Major Berserk buffs got nerfed substantially so Camo Hunter took a hit, and Slimecraw will probably be decon fodder if they don't buff it before it hits live.
