    This is excellent ZOS. Although I may not entirely agree with the balancing perspectives of those you've chosen; this is a step in the right direction. I haven't seen you guys do something like this since you've brought the major guilds together at your HQ back in the day. This is refreshing to see :smile:

    Consoles have no access to addons and more sluggish controls - it simply would never be a fair contest to begin with.
    Don't see how we even, practically, could take it into consideration. Not sure what you are suggesting? :)

    I'm not invited, the others are

    But Yolo and other Hodor(ians?) said, that Alcast isn't invited as well. I guess they just choose some NA players, because there is no single EU player confirmed.

    Yeah but that makes his point moot; that everyone gets to go but him - so let's just conveniently not take that into consideration. ;)

    Isn't Woeler EU?

    Woeler is EU but not invited ^^

    Ah, that's pretty poor he certainly should have q voice there for pve

    What point? I am simply replying to my name being tagged in brute honesty. I am interested though - I have been told Alcaast was invited, no idea if that is true or not but the people who said this to me are going. Isn't Woeler EU? Either way I know of one other EU player going too, so EU is represented.

    I am glad that some people in EU were invited, I hope these people come forth. :)

    Alcast was not invited, don't know who told you that.

    Weird, 3 of the people going told me he will also be there...

    I guess he wants to keep it private for whatever reason, so any ZOS staff feel free to remove sentences where I talk about Alcast please!

    I can confirm that two people from Hodor have indeed been invited and are going there. They just forgot to inform half the guild it seems, or the people who knew just didn't share the information. So much for creating a ruckus over nothing. I can only apologize for myself with the fact that I just finished exams and started a new semester so haven't kept up to date with guildies. :/

    EDIT: Edited my previous posts in this thread to reflect this.

    Awesome opportunity from ZOS and I will try to give the best feedback I can.

    To those wondering, there is a pretty even balance of PvP and PvE here from all over the world.

    As Gina notes, we are leaving it up to the players who are coming to determine if they want to share that info.

    I am happy for all the people who have the opportunity to be there.
    BUT the real important question is this: Will the players get a look at the new trial. Sorry, but you have to tell us this. If they do, there will be no competition for world firsts. Period.

    This is an awesome opportunity from ZOS! Well done...

    Hi @ZOS_RichLambert , Can you please ask these 'top' players to show you ALL the exploits they know of, including TBS set glitching, and other set glitching etc etc so you can fix them once and for all ??

    Well, for some of them it's quite easy to figure out ! If they are people that you have seen online like 24/7 over the past three years, and all of a sudden right now it reads like "last online : 2 days ago", you know where they are ! (especially if they're top players !)

    I'm glad for those invited : enjoy !
    But @ZOS, don't forget that some 90% of your playerbase is casual and definitely doesn't play like those top guys. I guess you know that already...

    Now wait to crybabies complaining about "they are going to change the game to please a few streamers blablablabla"

    They did this before, even going as far as to hold private ts/skype sessions with top pvp/pve guilds and that did nothing for the game. Still broken, suggestions were made and ignored, questions were avoided.. Was told to be the biggest waste of time.

    No, they don't have to tell you this because it doesn't matter. Trials need to be tested to work when they're released. WoW does this every content patch, elitist guilds (and every other player) can test raids and are still in a competition afterwards when the raid (trial) hits the live servers.

    Just because they can play the trial for some hours days / weeks before you can doesn't mean that it's an advantage 4 months later when most things are forgotten.

    World firsts don't matter, they don't indicate anything because it's never a level playing field given that not everyone is able to begin to see the content at the same time no matter how new content is unveiled.

    They released 4 trials without this player testing and they all were playable. You should have in mind that ZOS dungeon team test all the new content as well.

    Sure, they will forget everything they've seen in these 4 months. You don't really think so, do you?
