Will the patch 1.6 have...

RDMyers65b14_ESO

When patch 1.6 is released next week, will it be just 1.6 or will it be the full Tamriel Unlimited with the cash shop and everything else. I have been impatiently waiting for 1.6 since November and will be happy to see it on the pts, but I really am excited for the cash shop now and would love a sneak preview of the items and their crown prices. I know, cash shop won't be live until 3/17, and 1.6 will be live before then, but I will be more than happy to beta test shopping.

Next week's PTS update will include 1.6 as well as the Crown Shop (and anything else ZOS wants to include). The Crown Shop will be disabled when 1.6 goes to the live server, presumably sometime before March 17 based on yesterday's ESO Live show. When March 17 arrives, the Crown Shop will be opened for business along with whatever else is included in Tamriel Unlimited.

Not sure whether 1.6 on PTS will include the Crown Shop according to this comment by Gina Bruno: http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/comment/1491320#Comment_1491320

If the shop is in the PTS, and it sells things like weapons and armor, I will pitch a HUGE fit on the forums over it. That I promise.

It won't be activated anyway...

Why would you pitch a fit? The pts doesn't effect the live game and some of us are excited to see the items and their prices.

I just want to see everything.

It will include the Crown Store, but it will only be turned on for a certain amount of time for testing.

Thank you, Gina!

Well, why don't you just quit playing the game now? I don't want to see your fit, and you can throw just as much a fit in your room for all the good it will do. You'll feel better and we get to skip it. Win-win.

Seriously.

I recall during testing for GW2 beta they had a GM or Dev on during testing that asked everyone to attempt to buy "item x" at the same time in order to test the robustness of the system.

Perhaps they will try something similar. They would need to let people know about a time to do it though in order to have enough for testing.

"Okay everybody. Please go to the shop and buy your blue Vet12 Signet of the Warlock now."

So will we get instructions what to test when like during the beta?

If the cash shop has anything other then cosmetic items it will kill the game. Unless you can earn the currency in game to buy the items as well.

Because if there are weapons and armor sold in this crown shop, it means people will be able to access gear without actually earning it in the game itself, they will be able to get it with their money: which I think is BS.

Seriously.

by "fit" I meant a 1-2 sentence post voicing my disapproval of weapons and armor being sold in the shop.

next time I will word it differently.

edit: took out some unneeded offensive parts of the response

RDMyers65b14_ESO

What in 'cosmetic and convenience' says 'weapons and armor'? It's NOT there. The armor in the pictures is a costume, no stats. And THAT has absolutely nothing to do with this thread which was asking if we would see the crowns shop on beta. Gina answered.

How big the update will be? In GBs

That is a great question! We had an incremental patch was 12gig. 1.6 is supposed to be the size of two patches. Are we looking at 25 gig?
