Thieves Guild on PTS - 2/3/16

Community Manager
We're excited to announce that the Thieves Guild DLC game pack and base game patch will be available on the PTS tomorrow! We'll officially begin maintenance at 10:00am EST (even though the PTS will continue to be down until then) and will likely last several hours. During that time, we'll publish the patch notes so you have some reading material. We'll also post the testing suggestions and feedback we're looking for, in addition to some testing events.
All North American PC megaserver characters will be copied first with the stamp being taken at midnight tonight, and European megaserver character copies will be in the coming weeks. We'll also be supplying you with a VR16 character template for testing.
We can't wait to have you join the Thieves Guild, and anxiously await your feedback!

Fat_Cat45✭✭✭✭✭One thing I have a question about...
Since the weekly rewards will be revamped for the trials leaderboards, would it be possible to shorten the length it resets to a few days?
If it remains a week long then we can only experience it 4 or 5 times before it goes live. It would be more difficult to notice patterns in drop rates, what can drop, and so on, and then provide feedback/suggestions for it.1 -

Why only 300? Every end-game guild that wants to test has capped characters so why not let us just recreate our own characters? Testing is useless as our builds are predicated around our CP numbers. Just, why? Anyone that doesn't have 300 CP or above can just spend less.

so much this..... most people that will seriously test this stuff will have more than 300 CP and are most likely above cap..... limiting templates to 300 is pointless.Fat Grim Reaper - (m)Dragon Knight AR28

It's probably because new trial is made to be doable with 300CP. Playing with characters with 501CP won't give them necessary data.Some men just want to watch the world burn... I just want a cold beer!2 -
GeertKarel✭✭✭I have 500 champion points for quite some time, but remember we are testing it not only for ourself.
We are testing it even for the players that have around 200-300 champion points, to see how hard it is and to see if it is still possible to complete the dungeons.
One thing im afraid of is that zenimax will add vr16 gear, the new sets that will drop but then they are giving us a 7 piece set instead of sets people would actually raid with. But then again I don't have a clue... we have to see it when it launches.Server: EU Pact

Because the DLC isn't just for endgame players, it's for everyone who plays and seeing the average is currently about 300CP across all platforms this is what they need tested to ensure its balanced enough for the majority of players, end-game players with MAX CP are still currently the minority, yes believe it this is fact.

These non-endgame players can spend less CP then if they wish to, they can recreate their own character on live but capped people can't? Having 501 pleases everyone.
Whilst ZOS do need data on whether the Trial is doable with 300 CP I am sure they already have a lot of that from internal testing and outside of bug fixes they got that pretty spot on with vMA. I just find it a little arbitrary that they give us less than the cap.1 -

So you're telling me you don't want those bugs to be found, because the majority of the players won't be able to exploit them?0 -
Pangnirtung✭✭✭✭✭How is this a problem with CP?
If it is that much of a concern to you wouldn't your imported characters already have 501 CP?4 -

If the content works with 300 CP it will work with 501 CP otherwise use your own character to test the content and bugs. This is the best of both worlds and pleases everyone (EDIT: Well everyone but a few on the forum here anyway).Edited by James-Wayne on February 3, 2016 1:08AMPERTH, AUSTRALIA | PC | NA | @Aussie-Elders

They do, except EU don't get them for two weeks which means we're testing for two weeks with characters that aren't anything like our Live ones. At least with 501 CP and good gear we can 100% recreate our live characters.
The way the template system works means we have to completely re-engineer our builds just for the PTS, same with NA in two weeks time. Why not just give us the cap and the gear (see the suggestion thread) so everyone can test how they like.1 -

What are you missing by playing your character two weeks later when some of the bigger bugs have hopefully been squashed?
If I remember correctly the last time a DLC was posted on the PTS when the EU characters were imported I lost my NA characters. It all evens out.0 -

People like using their characters and people like trying new things when they are released, not fourteen days later. I don't think this is such a difficult concept.DK Stamina DPS
