HotR PTS - What's the point...

MercTheMage · July 2017

Great job ZOS, really. No new dungeon sets in the containers, No new monster sets either. Great way to test out new stuff.

Read the patch notes... they left them out on purpose this first pts patch so that people actually test the changed sets first... the new sets will be included next pts patch

And all the sets I use have been tested. Now what

Test some more. And then some more. And then some more.

Since your ONLY feedback was about wanting to test new sets, you aren't really the targeted audience of PTS testing anyway. So just sit and wait.

Despite them saying this, I am pretty sure they just forgot it

Please explain to me what the targeted audience/point of the PTS is then, if it's not to test out ALL the aspects of the new update, since you're such an expert.

Or maybe they want us to run the dungeons for the gear, regardless of traits. Good way to get people to test the dungeons.

As I said. The audience are people that go out of their way to test stuff and then post their opinion.

You 'tested' full patch worth of (pretty big) changes in few hours without creating opinion worth sharing. In short you aren't the targeted audience.

There are multiple changes on the base game patch, plus the adition of two dungeons, a new battleground and a new mode, which all are far more important to tests than the new sets. But you don't care about that, don't you. You just want the new toys to play. Don't dispair tho, it's just a week.

Well *** me for wanting to try out new stuff to keep me interested in a game I've been playing to death for the past 4 years.
And while were on the topic, you guys are doing a great job representing the games toxic community.
Kudos.

And what about the existing 4 dlc monster sets?

Avran_Sylt · July 2017

Because they also want testers to be looking out for graphical issues, missing/misspelled dialogue, texture problems, essentially running a helluva lot more tests than the few internal ones that they do.
