Even if you only have enough CP for just five of the new passives, you'll still have more benefit from the green tree than before the update.

I think it shows just how many green nodes are useful for a wider variety of builds than the nodes in the other two trees.

If some of the green passives were split off into blue and red, that might be better? I haven't really thought super hard about it, but I kind of suspect that it would solve the problem of having 200 unassigned champ points in red/blue while still clawing for champ points to fill out the necessary green nodes.

I hope the devs don’t read this and think we all want to have to reslot CP nodes after every treasure chest, mat node, and container like we did before.

I can live with less than 4 green slottables. I have had War Mount on every character except my main character since she does all the mat and furnishing plan farming. Now she can have War Mount too! I use it because the slow mount speed gets me around at a good pace without having to click the sprint button all the time.

It will be nice to not have to reslot for fishing, and I can probably put those slottables for pickpocketing in there as well.

I personally can’t see a downside to this.

It's more like... if I want to run all passives, I don't have enough CP (at cp2500) to slot more than 1-2 active champion points. Which just feels... weird. Especially compared to blue/red where I have all passives unlocked and 8 or so slottables I swap between depending on content.

I get you. It's better for the quality of life stars to be passives, but at the same time, what do you slot? Assuming you're not doing the justice/crime side of the tree, I can basically guess your slots in order: gathering, movement speed, sneak cost, fish? Maybe mount speed if you have the CP.

In any case, probably going to want to focus on passives first and leave most of the slotables empty, which feels odd.

TLDR = OP chooses to slot a new 120 point star and complains they now don't have enough points any more compared to when they didn't slot it.

Gifted rider now only gives a 1% speed bonus according to ZOS, so we can save those points to allocate elsewhere

No, the patch notes state that your mount is now %1 faster than it was before when you had maxed mount, major gallop, and gifted rider. It's a buff that won't be noticeable.

I love the changes, and wish Master Gatherer had been included in the conversion-to-passives list.

When we first got CP 2.0, I immediately made it a long-term goal to get all of the passives and at least the four actives I wanted the most in the green tree. I am now at CP level 2,471 and it really wasn’t that long ago where I had finally achieved this goal. I use the same set up for all my characters except the one I have set up for fishing.

Well, with Update 45 I am better off than before because I redid my green tree and got some of the new passives that I didn’t have before when they were active, like the one where we have a chance to get an extra furnishing plan for example. But now I only have 3 actives and I’m having trouble picking the next active I want to go for, but that’s totally fine because like I said my characters are better off!

The three actives I’m using now are Master Gatherer, Steed’s Blessing, and Gifted Rider. And of course, I’m still planning to get to the point where all of my passives are full and I have at least four actives. Currently, the only passives I do not have are Infamous (25 CP), Cutpurse’s Art (75 CP), Liquid Efficiency (75 CP), and Inspiration Boost (0 CP because I don’t need that one anymore), and I have 41 CP in Wanderer so I need 34 CP for that. This totals 209 more green CP that I need which counting the red and blue CP we get brings the new total CP level I need to get to in order to have all the passives 3,098.

But wait, there’s more! In order to get two of those passives, Infamous and Cutpurse’s Art, I will have to get the active Fade Away (50 CP) or Friends in Low Places (25 CP). So if I am correct, that brings the total CP level I need to be to have all the passives to at least 3,173 (using Friends in Low Places). THEN, I can figure out what active skill I would like to use for my fourth active slot and start working on that, so the actual final CP level I need to be is dependent on which of the remaining actives I choose and right now I just can’t decide. And this is all assuming they don’t make any more changes between now and then! 🤣

Have you completed your fishing? If not, that is 2 slottables you can fill right there. Fishing is an amazing thing in this game and something to help you relax. Sometimes we all need a break from pvp, combat etc.

I have one character optimized for fishing, and during the Pan Tamriellic Celebration when the rare fish were curated I got all the fishing achievements, even that one for catching the special fish in Wrothgar. I normally don’t care for fishing in any game, but with the fishing curated, I actually enjoyed it and got to see some amazing relaxing landscapes. I posted musings about the experience in this thread:
