Myself and everyone wants to know why your being so secretive about your 1.6 PTS release date ? Stop telling us sometime in Jan and just give us a date.

    They can't give a date if they don't know a date.

    If they don't have a date for a test server release that they have been working on since October then we are going to have major problems going forward.

    They always like surprising us. I did not know when they release 1.5 on the PTS. I was perfectly surprised when I woke up from my nap and I saw the patch notes. So they probally going to do the same thing this time too.

    I'd rather have it that they take their time and actually work and focus on stuff rather than bringing broken and non-tested content in every 6 weeks.

    You don't get to demand anything when it comes to the test server, and what's worse, you certainly don't get to speak for everyone.

    Contrary to the regular game, the pts is not something you are entitled to. Of course they can't always tack a date on things that are actually being worked on right now, they are done when they are done.

    You must not have played any of the updates the day they hit the live server because they always contain numerous broken and untested elements and content. The update version pushed to the live servers is never pushed to the PTS and that version always breaks numerous things.

    in the post "road ahead" from 4th of december they wrote:
    Our next update will come to PTS shortly after the first of the year. It’s going to be a big one, and will include both the Champion System and the Justice System.
    If it doesnt hit the pts by sometime on friday im going to be disapointed.
    shortly after doesnt mean mid january in my book.

    Oh, that's right, I'm sure you've got a lot of experience with completely changing entire game systems months after the release date.

    Are you people so quick to forget how utterly screwed up 1.5 was at launch? Do you forget the weeks that followed and how many of the basic game systems were trashed because things didn't work right? If so, you wouldn't be complaining so much right now.

    They said shortly after the new year, not the day after, or the next day. Get ahold of yourselves...

    Except that they weren't even in the office the first week? They have been in the office for two (2) days now...it's not like they are sitting at their desks twiddling their thumbs.

    I'm anxious to play. Checking the forum daily now. I won't complain about release time though. They just got back from the holidays and are trying to get the build up.

    I'm sure this time they are trying to clean it up better than the 1.5 release. The new systems were very broken when it was released. You couldn't even test surveys. Conversations were broken and the rewards were screwed up. I'm sure the pledges were messed up also but I could never find a group.

    I was thinking we'd see it this week but they seem to like to release on Mondays, so maybe the 12th.

    The more bugs they fix internally the more time we can spend finding deeper rooted bugs or blanace issues. Instead of fighting through a bunch of broken conversations and those "how did this make it in the build" type of bugs.

    From another thread:
    To be clear, we have every intention to publish 1.6 to the PTS this month. It's true that we don't have a concrete date to give you, otherwise we would tell you. We've run into a couple issues that need to be addressed before we make this update available. It normally takes time to fix an issue - no matter how large or small - get everything tested, verified, then coordinate scheduling a maintenance across different teams. We know you're all really excited, but please be patient as we're working very hard to get everything completed. We want to get this update into your hands as quickly as possible so you can try it out and hammer on the new features (we do read your feedback and bug reports, despite any rumors!).

    Also, as mentioned in a different thread, we do have plans to perform a character copy for both megaservers for this update. This way, everyone will have a chance to test the Champion System and other features with your own characters.

    Thanks guys, and don't worry. It'll be coming SOON. ;)


    We all understand that they have been working on it since October, but realistically problems may arise and will need to be addressed. I'd rather have them work on this problem and "hope" it won't come out on PTS, than have it published unfinished.

    Remember that CP point debacle? They said one thing and deviated from their plans. We don't want same thing happening here do we?

    Ok.

    content gets released every 6 weeks
    > people complain its broken and complain at bugs

    content doesnt get released for longer than 6 weeks
    > people complain it takes too long

    I'm not trying to defend ZOS here, as an ETA would be appreciated, but some of you people are just... geez. Neverending complaining.

    They're currently on a day-by-day slip (or possibly worse). Been there, done that. It'll be done when it's done, and even then it won't be "done".

    Tbh, i dont care how much pages the notes have. I will read em when they are up but I only care about ZoS to deliver rather sooner than later at this point. ;)

    We need fresh stuff to play around with.

    No, the point of PTS is to test the game. If their bugs it is not going to be fixed before it launch live. Lets say you play it and you do not like how a skill works and a majority of players does not like how it works too. That would have a better chance to change before it is launches on live. Like how people complained that is was too hard to find dwemer scraps and dwemer motifs on the PTS. This was change in the next week.

    Well when they put Update 5 on the PTS it was down for the whole weekend, so my guess is Update 6 won't hit this coming week either. So my guess is the last week in January or the first week in February Update 6 will hit PTS.
