[NEWS] Trial Leader Boards to Be Point Based Not Time Based Starting in 1.6

From the fantastic interview of Joe Blackburn, Zenimax Online Studios Gameplay Designer, in the latest Tales of Tamriel Episode.

Aggelos: "With regards to timed-content for leaderboards, do you have plans to move away or at least add a different type than timed content?"

Joe Blackburn - "We are taking the opportunity in 1.6. There's a new scoring system for trials coming in [1.6] that is point based not time based."

The section about trials can be found at the 42:29 marker and contains a few other tidbits.

No significant details but that is a significant change.

    Here's what I suggest:

    -1 point for each DK brought into the group.

    +5 points for each character not wearing pants for entire duration of trial.

    And be able to shut off the auto notification would be nice.

    Truth! We'll have all these changes listed in the patch notes once Update 6 is on the PTS, and are working on a larger, more detailed thread about the change as well.

    What will happen to current leaderboards then? Wipe?

    It would be nice to let us know sooner than one week before the patch so we´ll be able to cut the effort in getting better times on leaderboards that will be wiped.

    I agree with @Kraen, we need more information NOW on this, @ZOS_GinaBruno
    ''Subscription fee means that we will offer players the game we set out to make, and the one that fans want to play. Going with any other model meant that we would have to make sacrifices and changes we weren't willing to make.''

    This is exactly why you aren't let know. They don't want you to stop playing the game just because there will be changes. Continue mastering the current system until there is a new system and then master that one.
