Chill @Shinkhan .... this is the norm for beta ..... no one gets a step ahead .....@ZOS_GinaBruno
The race for new trial 1st completion is a very important thing for the comunity, by inviting only a few ppl to test this new contant then it means that this ppl will have a step ahead on averyone else. Do you think it is fair ?

I think many of us were in the ESO pre-launch beta, however that doesn't automatically give us the right to participate in the Morrowind beta. If you were a past PTS participant and actively submitted bug reports, then your chances might be pretty good on getting a invite. But if not, don't worry, there will be plenty of bugs you can find when it launches on June 6th

Battlegrounds are part of the Morrowind chapter, so those will also be part of the invite.Stupid question but are bgs considered to be in the base patch or do we have to get an invite for that?We'll be leaving the regular PTS section of the forums open for you to discuss changes in the base game patch. Even though you are agreeing to an NDA, these are essentially just bug fixes or minor quality-of-life additions and doesn't contain new content or big features. All discussion and feedback for Morrowind content will be in a private forum area.So if we don't get an invite we can't discuss class changes on the forums at all? And even if we do, we can only discuss them in the closed forum area? That seems odd since there's usually a lot of forum discussion over class changes, and the info on the changes themselves will be on the patch notes thread anyway.As you are agreeing to the NDA before you log in, that will include information you're datamining. Posting datamined information from the PTS will be against the NDA.@ZOS_GinaBruno
Will NDA affect things like datamining? Will I be able to datamine new Crown Store items and post this info on forum, Reddit etc?While all content on the PTS is under NDA, as mentioned above we will be allowing regular conversation in the current PTS forum surrounding base game content as these are largely just bug fixes and general improvements to the existing game.Sorry if this is a foolish question, but from above I feel I need to ask it.
Will the base game changes be under NDA as well? As in, if a Templar skill changes etc. Seems like it will be quite difficult to enforce an NDA if it's open to everyone, and the PTS forum is public (can be read without an account).
[Edit] Ooooh I recall the console beta having it's own private forum, so as mentioned in the article the Morrowind invitees will definitely be in a private forum... but base game stuff?There is no sign up for this - we are simply sending out invites based on our own criteria.frethopper wrote: »I would like to sign up for the closed beta, but every time I browse to the signup page I get redirected to the age gate, whether I've already been through it or not. I don't have this issue with any other part of the website. Anyone suggest where the issue might be?

Does this mean there are no significant class balance changes in the base game patch?

What levels they test do not go to live as it is testing, all testers start from scratch just like everyone else .....
If you were worried that much about it, maybe you should of tested more in the past to have a chance you think may be a step ahead .....
Dont get me wrong, i dont want anyone to get a step ahead of anyone (not even me) and this is 1st. 2nd it is PTS so noone starts from scratch as you are saying, there will be templates and after that the chars from live servers will be on pts and yes ppl will already have the chance to test mechanincs in the new trial and find solutions before the others. 3rd, Dude i am chilled and i am not worried, am just makinga point and saying that this will affect everyone who is not invited for the closed beta, so please this "wise" sentances you can keep them for yourself.
Shinkhan
And that's a very good point...
Famous youtuber will be on this beta.. There guilds will have a very good advantage....

For one thing we don't want to repeat the messy launch that Maw had with mechanics just outright failing to work as designed (troll pillars and the random color assignments on the twins as example) and adding the NDA on it gives the impression that the content is in a really messy state that you don't want discussed.
I know people on these forums hate when World of Warcraft is brought up but their PTR is open to everyone like this one usually is and they have had raid testing for the upcoming Tomb of Sargeras raid going on for over a month already and its still something like 10 weeks away from going live. It's important that this content is properly tested to ensure a smooth launch and killable bosses. I would also like to see you follow the WoW approach to raids where content patches go live but the raid is delayed a week or two to give people time to play the new content before they disappear into a raid for a few weeks.

To add onto this, Console needs some sort of testing. We still have unplayable raids and this could of been resolved earlier if Homestead was play tested before launch and we wouldnt have a broken Maw of Lorkhaj
@HeroOfNone I remember you talking about Morrowind PTS in your stream. Here is the info bud. Hope you get selected. Keep up the good work.

Pfft.
I got my email invite!!
It's from a Nigerian Daedric Prince. He says I need to wire sacrifice 1M gold to him to "process" my invite.
Hmmmm.
I'll get back to you on this.
