To be more realistic , if you flying thru a solar flare , it should spike your heat levels at least 10 points or 1520 %. Right now it does nothing . <| sep |> Still confused on why no one told me . <| sep |> Champion points very much DO affect you right from level 3 on a new alt as long as you remember to spend them . I play a lot of Blackwater Blade , where CP is turned off , and my stats compared to in Cyrodiil and out of it are much different . Edit Also from your source , they ' re referring to people who are brand new and leveling 150 for the first time . <| sep |> Definitely 4 or 5 . 3 is too little alliances lose their luster and 6 is OK , but it gets tough to keep track of everyone ' s abilities . 7 and 8 gets too bloated . 5 is the sweet spot .
