Re: ESO PTS Schedule Changes
Hi, everyone. As we wrap up week 4 of our Update 49 PTS, we wanted to circle back to this thread and provide an update. We, too, would like to do more with the ESO PTS, and while the Update 49 PTS was only 4 weeks, we are exploring options that would allow us a little more flexibility with the schedule while not putting our build and cert schedules at risk.
With how Seasonal content is releasing in a more staggered manner, it makes more sense that the PTS would be a little more fluid, too. You're seeing a little of that already with how the PTS Tamriel Tome and Night Market will remain on the PTS server for additional testing and feedback after the Update 49 PTS concludes. This works because those two features are launching after Update 49, as part of Season Zero.
While we haven't solidified the exact plan yet, we wanted you to know we do hear you and are talking about options. Thanks again, and we hope everyone has a great weekend.

Re: Update on the Snowbear Mount Currently on the Crown Store
Update: The mount is no longer available on the store. We will follow up next week on refunds for anyone who purchased between yesterday and today. Thanks again for your patience.
Update on the Snowbear Mount Currently on the Crown Store
Hi All. We're providing a quick update on the Snowbear Mount currently available on the Crown Store. This mount is planned for the updated Mounts for Gold coming in Update 49 and was not intended to be added to the Crown Store. The team is working to remove it off of the Crown Store right now, and that should be reflected in the next few hours. For anyone who purchased it between yesterday and today, we will issue a return to your account for the Snowbear Mount. Timing on the return credit will come next week once we have a better idea on when the return can be issued.
Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve this and thanks to some Reddit folks who escalated this issue.

Re: Another PTS without a fix for Charm getting players stuck in terrain.
Hello! We just posted a similar message over here, and wanted to comment in this thread as well since it is specifically about the issue where characters are sometimes getting stuck in terrain after being hit with Charm.
We are investigating the reported CC-related issues of getting stuck in terrain related to the item set and Warden Charm script (and all Charm effects.) Specifically for the Warden Charm script, with the upcoming Warden class refresh (our next one) we will be looking at every facet of the class including this script.
For Charm in general, one element that we're investigating is if there are collision-related bugs with certain areas of the environment or fixtures. That's where you can help. If you notice that you or your friends are getting stuck in certain fixtures and/or parts of the environment, sharing the location with us along with screenshots and/or video would be greatly appreciated. With terrain and fixture issues, for example, if they don't have proper collision or pathing, we can work with our art team to get those fixed.
Thank you!

Re: Question about plans for week 3&4 of PTS - Warden Charm & Rush of Agony
Hi everyone. We wanted to let you know we do this post and others like it (like this one), though we do acknowledge there are at least a couple potential bugs called out between the two, plus feedback. I'll head over to that other linked thread next. Thank you for your patience.
We're currently putting together the PTS Week 4 Summary, and while we want to include a note about this there, we also wanted to reply in this thread with the note now.
We have seen your bug reports, feedback, and general concerns about the Rush of Agony item set and Warden Charm script (and Charms in general). While these are not explicitly related to this PTS cycle and Update 49, we wanted to acknowledge that we do see your posts about these and are investigating the CC-related issues you’ve raised in a few forum discussion threads including this one and the other linked earlier in this post.
With the upcoming Warden class refresh (our next one), we will be looking at every facet of the class including the Warden Charm script. We do see your continued feedback about the Rush of Agony set as well and while we don't have any planned changes to it for Update 49, we are investigating the reported CC-related issues of getting pulled through environmental fixtures and getting stuck in terrain related to the item set and Warden Charm script (and all Charm effects.)

Hi All. Yes, XP scrolls do impact leveling during the event. However, it's not a doubling the percentage though. The math is additive, not multiplicative. So the math that @PrinceShroob provided is a good example.
Re: Future of Battlegrounds
Btw, speaking about transparency, @ZOS_Kevin could you tell us more about MMR in BGs? I saw development of this started and postponed, idk why, probably because of priorities. Will this feature ever be delivered? Does it exist in some form under the hood, so complete newbies would not play against veterans, or it is absent completely? Any plans to bring it live one sunny day in the future?
Hi @imPDA, wanted to follow up here. While the team would still like to address this in the future, currently with all of our other initiatives, we don't have bandwidth to properly address the MMR tech. You are correct, it was on the roadmap for a bit and then we had a priority shift to address other longstanding issues. We still want to address this, but it will be some time before we can get to it.
Re: Please release all unavailable Outfit Styles for Outfits. ♥
Hello! We wanted to let you know that we see this thread and have passed it along to @ZOS_Kira and the Player Experience Improvements team for future consideration. 
Re: Will factions be like Cyrodiil?
cyberjanet wrote: »You have to align yourself to a faction when you start. Does that mean you can, or cannot play/ group with with players from other factions? It seems there are faction-specific quests, but also common quests, which in theory you could do together.
Pledging to a faction does not prevent grouping with and playing with other players. Your favor is added to the pool your faction earns and when Night Market ends, you will receive the Helm associated with your faction at a quality level determined by how well your faction did.
We very much did not want to limit who and how players can play with each other with the system while also rewarded players in some way. When the Night Market comes back, you will be able to choose a new faction and thus, at the end, receive that Helm.
