Because from what I've heard, it's not really even close.

    This is basically how agile development works. In reality, a complex thing like ESO is never really ready. They just get it as ready as they can within the deadlines they have and then deploy it. They have teams responsible continuously improving it once it is released and teams responsible for building other stuff.

    It is as ready as it needs to be. I'd expect a patch within a week or two tops after it is released tomorrow. As much testing as was done on PTS, running on live will most likely reveal many more bugs and problems. Tis the nature of the beast.

    They need to release this version now so they can approach the found bugs BEFORE theTamriel Unlimited released in 14 days.

    It's not the first time the subs were the beta testers!

    The last version up the PTS was put February 20. They had a week to tweak it and correct more bug. I hope it goes well and that i can play after work...

    Is 1.6 really ready for deployment? No.

    Do I want them to deploy it? Yes.

    No guts, no glory. :D

    Beta testing or not, live still has more people to look for bugs than what PTS testers do. Every game is like that

    Well, some of the bugs left are fun, like the sorc 20k dps one...

    As long as you don`t do PvP or competitive PvE its cool, as some give (a lot)more power to the player.

    However if you are trying to do anything competitive then LOL as the bugs and exploits already known will ruin your record trial run or one shot you in PvP.

    They fixed the issue with NPCs in broken into houses auto turning towards you when you get close. That's all I needed them to fix to be happy with launch. Can't wait to get my grubby paws on some loot...now if only they would give us a barber so I can fix my hideous wood elf.... :neutral:

    A complex thing like ESO is never FINISHED. But in an agile process, a product is potentially READY for a delivery at the end of each step (sprint), with the right level of quality.

    Stendarr's beard hairs NO ! An since a bunch of this community don't mind paying to beta test , they'll take the money an run it !


    The justice for this system will come in late summer early fall . That's when the full brunt force will hit with voices across multiple formats .

    In addition to that, some bugs simply do not manifest unless there are enough people around to trigger it. Not putting 1.6 live before tons of new players experience the game for the first time with Unlimited launch would be a PR suicide.

    Well subs...we got TWO WEEKS of BETA TESTING left, lets get this done...
    Force weapon swap to have priority over EVERYTHING. Close enough.
    Make stamina builds even with magicka builds.
    Disable abilities while holding block.
    Give us a REASON to do dungeons more than once.
    Remove PVP AoE CAP. It is ruining Cyrodiil.
    Fix/Remove Forward Camps. They are ruining Cyrodiil.
    Impenetrability needs to REDUCE CRIT DAMAGE. Not negate entire builds.
    Werewolf is not equal to Vamps/Bats.
