    b-whatever did this on Reddit. Pretty good explanation by Mystborngaming but apparently b-whatever missed it when they copied/pasted over here.

    To be honest, I have little faith in what they promised now, especially when they did not even specify any certain time.

    [–]MystbornGaming 0 points 10 hours ago
    They don't know the time because it's based on when their next content update is ready to test but it's not like anyone else is on the PTS until then anyway, the server is down (and being wiped) until that time.

    That is not what I mean. What I am saying is that when they say "we will be", you can never be sure if it is going to be the 1.2 PTS event or 1.x. They are simply untrustworthy now.

    Oh I doubt he/she/it missed the reply, but rather wanted to head over here to troll too...

    This thread is a testament to human bull spreading. I created the psijic guild.... not a dev. One group of a random guild streaming their raid runs doesn't represent the months of testing and work we put in to help make the game better for you ungrateful rude ... well, I won't finish that sentence. And we didn't get anything for doing so, not even a title in game or other cosmetic let alone reward.

    I think there's already unspoken "perks" that you didnt account for. Knowledge of how to fast level whenever ESO increase VR levels *cough * Kardala exp exploit * cough * while rest of "commoners" (this is mentioned by one of your PO members earlier in a post) had to grind. God knows how many other "bugs" that you guys have first hand knowledge (e.g. dupe item bugs) that other "commoners" didn't know about. Are you telling me none of the PO members (or other hardcore guild members like ER on PTS) main characters are not VR12 with bank full of gold from real VR zone quest grinding? But the best perk is that Zenimax is not banning of you guys, it's like robbing a bank in broad day light and the cops tip their hat at you while you walk slowly to your get away car.

    You do realize that this is a virtual reality, that none of this is real or matters, it's all pixels? Being jealous/envious of some other players level, no matter how obtained, doesn't make much sense or affect your game play unless you chose for it to.

    This has never been established or documented. Rumor mongering. It has been stated already in this thread by PTS members; Many bugs were found, many were reported, many were acknowledge by ZOS, some didn't get addressed. In addition it has also been stated by PTS members, often the build tested by PTS was not the one released.

    Yes, I for one. Level 26 still saving up gold for that black horse. Again. You do realize this is a virtual reality and it's nothing more than pixels? It makes no sense to be jealous or envious of some other players level or amount of gold. It does not affect your game play unless you chose for it to.

    That statement is uncalled for. So to repeat @Attorneyatlawl's statment:

    "[Y]ou ungrateful rude ... well, I won't finish that sentence" either...

    And last word... Since PTS is going to be opening up to everyone, expect a lot more of every action, and many others, that you have just accused the current PTS members of.

    You know... I just realized this is a classic Conspiracy Theory. You are proposing that every single member of PTS found a bug that worked to the players advantage, then via some means of communication, masked from ZOS's attention, conspired to not report it to ZOS. Every single member...

    To quote Agent Coulson: "Huh..."

    So.... were the latest patches tested only on the internal test build or was the PTS involved in testing them, I'm thinking it was only the internal one, so maybe they should have been tested on the PTS for the amount of mistakes that I'm reading about.

    Stop goofing around with the PTS being available, just open it up and have all patches available for testing please, tired of the mistakes hitting live, especially when there's so many who love this game and are more than willing to give their free time to help make it a better one.

    /sigh

    Excellent news because as a Vet 12 and a Templar with no DPS I find myself with allot of time on my hands.

    Since the Templar is the worst DPS in the game by far, I look forward to some major buffs in the upcoming PTS releases for Templars and Melee classes.

    Yup c'mon peep's chime in maybe we'll get a firm date, instead of just the
    As part of the maintenance, all PTS characters will be wiped and we’ll be configuring the server so that everyone with an active ESO account will be able to test on the PTS in the future. We’ll let you know when it comes back up with new features and content.
    Statement

    When ZOS ??

    Some content will always be XP/ loot mines, the game has plenty of them.

    Knowing where they are is a benefit the fist hours after the content is released.
    After this its pretty well know.

    Yes they also get benefits in knowing how to do dungeons.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.
