Update 5 Testing Suggestions and Feedback Wanted
Since Update 5 is so large, we'd like to offer you a bit of direction as to what we suggest you test, in addition to specific feedback that would help our team.
TESTING SUGGESTIONS
- Play through Veteran City of Ash using the appropriately named template, or your max-level North American megaserver character. Let us know if you plan to livestream your run so we can watch!
- Check out the new facial animations, and use /bug in-game to record any desyncs with the audio and mouth movements, or any missing animations.
- Please be sure to include the NPC’s name, location, and line when submitting a /bug.
- Acquire 10 dwemer scrap metal items, and refine the ingredients.
- Go through the crafting tutorial with a new character, or skip the tutorial and get certification with a character that already has experience.
- If you have a character that’s well-versed in crafting, check out the new crafting writs and survey reports.
- Explore the larger delves in Alik’r, Eastmarch, and Malabal Tor.
- Use a template to create a stamina-build character (or use an existing North American megaserver character if you have one!) and experiment with the improvements made to stamina abilities.
- Use any template to create a character that can transform into a werewolf, and try out the improvements to those abilities.
- Turn on chat bubbles in the Settings menu, and let us know what you think!
- Create a Veteran Rank 12 character using a template, and play through normally to test the changes made to how you receive XP as a Veteran Rank character.
- Use the Looking for Group tool to create a group both inside and outside of a dungeon, and make sure everyone is within 5 levels of each other.
- Try running through God of Schemes, even if you’ve done it before! We’ve recently fixed some issues so it’s not as frustrating to complete, and we’d like to hear your experience with it since the changes have been made.
- Create a level 45 character using the template “Undaunted”, and open the mail that directs to you the Undaunted Enclave to begin investigating Pledges.
