    Cyrodiil campaign selections will be reset too, correct?

    Yes, campaigns are ending, and you'll get a free home campaign reassignment.

    To clarify, only skill points will be reset with this update. I was mistaken about the attribute points, and have removed it from the original post. Sorry about that, guys.

    As mentioned earlier, campaigns will also be reset, and you'll get a free home campaign reassignment. Champion Points will not be reset.

    Okay going to ask another dumb question @ZOS_GinaBruno , Will research items also be affected? *Prays for a no*

    So far after each skill point reset, ongoing research kept running, i.e. if you're researching 3 items, you'll still be researching all 3, although it will take longer, and if you don't put SP into the passives again, you won't be able to start new research until all 3 have finished.

    I can handle it being longer, just didnt want to loose the armor set I was researching! Thanks

    Hence my original post about having free respecs for Attribute and Champion points in light of the major changes and nerfs you are doing to some builds.

    A PSA for those on PC....there are two add ons I use and work well to help keep your information. One I have used for over a year and one I have just checked out.

    Binder (updated version) keeps all your key binds across characters set. It includes add on key binds. Twice ESo has accidentally reset your User UI and lost keybinds. Log on your main and set it up.
    esoui.com/downloads/info1148-Binder-Updatedfor1.6.5.html

    My Build puts all your info on one page for that screenshot instead of multiple windows.

    esoui.com/downloads/info1114-MyBuild.html



    and finally.... @ZOS_GinaBruno can you mention in your above post (update it) that Cyrodiil campaigns will reset and people should be aware to carefully choose their alliance campaign. Please

    @SLy_Kyti

    Nice... thanks for that mybuild- but it doesn't show skill points nor current skill bar layout? Just wondering. Doesn't seem like it... which wouldn't have your whole build.

    if what's happened with keybinds on PTS goes to live I wouldn't bet on keybinds not being affected.

    ps. shame no one had the time to answer when I asked this a week ago :(

    Well, if they are making technical changes to the skills, including creating or renaming skills, then they need to provide the skill point refund. I don't think they need to provide a free respec of CP for people looking for special builds.

    But would that not force people to either reset their championpoints or change their gear to compensate for the changes made to the skills?

    Sweet. I had 2 vet chars that needed a respec but was waiting for this patch with the assumption that so many skill changes would lead to refunding of points.

    The only downside is the hirelings.

    In the past, respecs never affected research. The research passives only affect what research you can initiate. Once initiated, they have always continued to completion, even if the passives were no longer used.

    Especially since they only seemed to change descriptions of CP skills, not major changes in the actual skills. CP respecs are pretty cheap anyway.

    I have a question.. How are we going to do this with Xbone? The screenshot thingy.

    Should we try to record a clip?
    The only thing I fear is there are rumors of people losing skill points upon resets when they are Vamp/WW..
    There are people that report losing points when they reset if they are not cured ahead of time.

    Double-tap the Guide button, and an extra menu pops up. Here, press Y to get screenshot.

    So, we still have our guest campaigns set, then. As well as home campaigns.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno, what happened to
    When we fire up the campaign changes, we will wipe your current home\guest assignments.

    Why go back on that? It was a well appreciated thing, because it would have allowed those that want to, to get rid of their guest assignments finally.

    It should have been reset. Are you playing on NA or EU?

    *redfaced* I was basing my comment on the forum comments, I actually didn't even try myself since I am on EU and still stuck at work.

    If a full reset (meaning all my chars will have neither home nor guest campaign assigned) has been done, then disregard my comment and consider me admonished for speaking before thinking (in this case, testing).

    I can not enter a campaign, none assigned, but still cant make a home, since I have a 7 hour cooldown on it.
    This is only on my pvp character. The others can enter just fine.

    similar problem, set guest campaign to Azuras but when I went to set Home to Blackwater Blade it still showed as unnassigned and now says it's locked as I've entered and changed recently, only thing I can think causing this is Blackwater Blade was my home campaign last night and my affected character was still in there with no campaigns set this afternoon when I logged in.

    So atm I have no home campaign and cant set one :(

    This patch is kinda the horror to me : 9 hours to find the way to correct a chat bug, a character deleted in the processus to help to find the solution, and now facing long loading screens, attributs not reseted, champ points choosen in fonction of a build that are now to change and to pay for ..... no way to choose the home pvp .....

    ok edited for the attributs an dpoints as i have my answer. That could not have been more clear.

    I guess i had some good time and will go again take some vacation from here. Will let my sub run

    Has this been answered? I dont want to log in when the update comes and find I have a lot of skill points missing because I wasn't cured from WW / vampirism before the update.
