We all have unspent research and skill points after updating.

To get your pre-update PL back, you need to spend that research and skill points.

You will probably actually be higher after the update.

But yeah; I was 104 or 105 before 6.3, and after updating I’m 95.

Gave me a start at first, but then I checked all my resources. I suddenly have over 2 million more survivor XP. Huh.

Then I checked the “upgrades” section.... and had 220 unspent skill points.

Then I checked research and I had 904,000 unspent research. Ah.

After spending the research I had, I’m now 108 instead. I gained pl- woo!

So yeah; there’s bound to be this and other hiccups guys, but don’t riot - don’t light the fires to alert Rohan that Gondor needs aid, this is a big update. Stay calm, things are going to be different. It’ll all work out. Just take it slow, and make the effort to learn all of the new mechanics, menus, and whatnot.

Thanks for putting this together, Penny! I really appreciate the PSA. This is indeed how the system is supposed to function. You may see your power level drop a bit.. don't panic! Players will need to spend their refunded research points to regain their stats. You may have even gained a PL or two!
