So, about that pvp battle? Awkward! lol

Good thing we're doing this on the PTS, because this must not happen on live D=

This is about the Crown Store Stress Test: It states that "everyone will be given 5,500 crowns to use on a shopping spree" but there was a large amount of people who were very disappointed and pissed(including myself) because we didn't receive our 5,500 crowns. So we all basically got to stand around, seeing everyone else with their cool stuff while bragging about it in chat. It really sucked. Even though it's on the PTS, it was a huge let down and major disappointment; waiting and then realizing we weren't going to get any crowns when the "Thankyou for Testing the Crown Store" pops up on the screen.

I'm not in cyrodiil yet, still waiting on crowns I'll head to that event and help them test when I get crowns. One test at a time.

The stress test for crown store is over.....it was only 10 minutes. I wouldn't worry too much about getting to cyro, it looks like they won't be able to keep the server from crashing

crown store is still open, whether stress test is over or not, so I want my crowns :P but I've heard about the lag already anyway in pvp

Isn't that the point this evening?

Mechanic can't fix a broken car if it isn't making that funny noise, right?

I thought it was to test the changes to abilities not the server?

Thanks for coming out to help us with both tests tonight, folks. For those who did not get crowns to participate in the Crown Store test, we apologize for the frustration. Please use /bug to let us know you were one of the ones who did not get crowns. Your reports will help us narrow down the cause.

For the PVP test, though it was bumpy and we experienced region crashes, that provides us with helpful data, too. So, thank you for bearing with us through the crashes and lag. It does help.

We hope you all have a great weekend. Thank you again; it may seem a small thing, but helping us with these tests is a huge help. We'll see you on the PTS this weekend!

Yeah I was half-raging, half-kidding around.

The crown store is really nice. I also can tell that a few of my guild mates were really hyped what you offered there.
I'm just not getting why the guar mounts have to be so much more expensive than the horses even though they're totally worth the crowns. Gonna save Tamriel on my Guar with my Guar pet.

Lunachik

Thanks so much for the update, Jessica! I sent a bug report during the event. I'll keep checking back.

We are pushing 1.6.1 to the PTS tomorrow, and there are quite a few fixes going in that we've been hard at work getting done since last week. We'll also be pushing the EU character copy during the maintenance, which means North American characters will be wiped. (Sorry. Templates are still an option for testing.)

Ok Thanks that at least gives me some time to move some things to my Template Character.

Thanks for the update! Even though my characters will be wiped I can't wait to test this more on templates.

Engine can't make funny noise if engine won't stay running

The PVP event was a ruse. I believe it was meant to entice a large group of people on for an event when the true motivation was to get people into the Crown store. We did enough stress testing of pvp during all the beta tests....this turned into a big joke 5 minutes into it.

Maybe they wanted to see how all the new crown store items would add to the already horrible lag problem.
