why have you not uploaded 1.5.2 to PTS?

Hypertionb14_ESO · October 2014

do you intend to go live with 1.5.2 without testing it, like you have done in every past major patch.. are you prepared for the potential fallouts?

these "untested" live builds you have released in the past have always shown to have issues no present in previous PTS builds, maybe try releasing your "live build" to the PTS before you go live with it to pre-empt some reports for issues you might not be expecting..

i hate to be the elephant in the room.. but the track record so far shows that your not getting enough info from your in-house testing before you release these major updates. and while the PTS tends to be underpopulated too, there are still more people testing it there than you can possibly payroll..

some of us want to see the game succeed, and will gladly put some time in with the PTS.

Zos?

Hmm

1. They are prepping to install 1.5.2 on Live on or before Monday Nov 3.
2. They are prepping to install 1.5.2 on PTS on or before Monday Nov 3.

Take your pick. I am going with #1.

Sometimes there are changes in the live version which noone should see before release, cause it would be an advantage to react on some changes before they go live.

Maybe these changes are in 1.5.2

A you mean the long overdue buffs to DKs? And this is because they don't want to have 60% DKs in Cyrodiil? Oh wait...

Maybe because it is not ready yet. You bunch of ***hats

Next live patch is slated to be a 1.5.x. It's almost here.

With it being so late in the day and no notice has been posted about the PTS being down for maintenance tomorrow, it looks like we won't be seeing 1.5.2 this week given how Friday updates are pretty much non-existent nowadays.

This coming Monday will be two weeks since 1.5.1, so I'd say chances are high that 1.5.2 will bypass the PTS and move directly to the live server next week. With the first six month subs expiring next week, ZOS has even more of an incentive to push Update 5 to the live servers as quickly as possible.

Forgot about the six month sub coming due. Solid point.

Ammount of features/changes/fixes in that patch is on a scale we havent seen yet. I would prefer giving ZOS the time they need to do it right. Rather than screaming NOW! And trust me I am eager and excited as anyone else

If they release 1.5.2 on live and then hotfix issues... well its not end of tje world is it?

I am not sure that the "end of the 6 month subs" has much to do in the way of setting the date for Update 5. Anyone who wants to play with the bulk of Update 5 has been able to do it for a month now. I feel that if ZOS felt that Update 5 was important in this role, 1.5.2 would be on PTS already and they would be working on 1.5.3 for release to Live on Monday.

I am certain that the number one consideration for Update 5 is that they feel it is ready.

That said, I will be really surprised if Update 5 does not come on Monday. I think that all they are doing now is cleaning up loose ends and finishing up QA.

I guess thats the main reason they havent updated the pts server with a new patch.

ya i saw that... im dissappointed... what ever differances between 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 will hopefully be minimal and not negatively impact preformance...

so i'm guessing the WW "skill-line" will still only be a 30sec ultimate ability.. ?

There's two skill points that increase it.

and they have apparently made changes elsewhere that compensate. The comment in ESO Live was that they wanted WW to feel like an ultimate ability, not a long term condition, and the game was straying away from that.

Isnt that exactly the opposite of what most people wanted?

I think that a lot of WW players got comfortable with the thought that WW would be more than an ultimate ability. Ultimately, I do not think that ZOS agreed.

If its just an Ultimate..... then the damage needs to be more ultimatey.. currently I can do just as much DPS in human form.

demonlkojipub19_ESO · November 2014

They are still going about WW transformation in the wrong way. It needs to be a toggle, it doesn't need a *** duration, and the WW ultimate needs to be one you use while transformed. The end.

They should stop being lazy and put a mappable button for toggle werewolf form for all the lycan out there.

The update is late enough as it is final testing will be done by the masses as usual.

The "masses" do not play on PTS.

Edit. Unclear point. PTS is a play test system, so obviously, final play testing will always be done on the Live server by the "masses". Not enough people play on PTS to really do more than touch on play test.
