Guild and Crafted skill lines with 1.4 on PTS

rashkosh127ub17_ESO · August 2014

PTS has come a very long way from when it first came out. However, there are still a few changes that need to be made if we are going to be able to thoroughly test the new content. Most of the skill lines in the 1.3 version of the PTS would start at maxed level, and then subsequently allow each skill to be instantly morphed. However, lines like the Mages Guild, Fighter's guild, and undaunted did not do this. Instead, the entire skill line would be unlocked, but each unmorphed skill would start at level one. Last PTS I wanted to make sure that necrotic orb was being nerfed so I grinded for a couple hours to unlock energy orbs. I was surprised, however, to see that once I unlocked energy orbs it leveled it up to IV. This makes me think that a bug currently exists, and if that is the case I hope ZoS looks into it. Another thing that prevents PTS testers from obtaining their live character builds is the lack of crafted armor. The way I see it, one of two things need to happen to fix this issue. One possibility is to allow all crafted sets to be created at their specific tables for free, and with no skill points required. Another option would be to max out the crafted skill lines for PTS testers and provide them with containers of crafting materials. I'm sure there are other issues that make true testing on the PTS server difficult, but these seem to be the most prevalent to me. Hopefully ZoS can look into these issues.

Agreed. Morphed skills for Guild skill lines and crafting loot box with crafting tables.

-marcusstratus' wife speaking-

I definitely agree that not being able to craft good gear soon is an issue on the test server.

While it didn't really take long to get to the morphs on the guild skill lines, I did find it a bit odd that they weren't fully unlocked to begin with.

Totally agree. A full setup with all skill lines and crafting lines will be perfect. So we can find bugs on changed crafting sets or skills easier and faster.

They have new quests with the crafting stuff, but provision seems a bit broken right now all the others you can learn, and the quests you get after that are lvl 50 quest to make material for the troops in cyrodil.
