I would bet that the PTS is bad for long term players.

I mean like.. Why would you wanna play something for a month, and have it completed and know its secrets before it's even released?

I'm glad I don't PC game for ESO. Cause the PTS, to me, seems like a load of Tottenham. An absolute pile is Hotspur.

You will be able to buy the console beta of TG when it drops in mid march

I can understand the second class feeling. Orsinium still hasn't been fixed at least on Xbox. You've got about a two minute window to get into Orsinium and get out or else you will get booted to the dashboard. This problem has been there since launch and nothing has been done about it. That's why it and the rest of Wrothgar is a ghost town on Xbox. It is also why so many of us are concerned that large cities in future DLCs will be similarly unplayable and uninhabitable. (I'm looking at you Abah's Landing!)

If Zos had acknowledged the problem or provided any feedback whatsoever, the console community would be more supportive generally.

It is not really ZOS's fault that it has to be handled that way. There are 3rd parties involved on consoles and it is not ZOS alone, who decide what can be done here and what can't be done. There has to be a consensus with the 3rd party and to achieve that, takes a while longer. I am certain, that ZOS would change it, if they could, but they can't.

What are you even talking about? Honestly, I have neither heard about nor experienced this at all, and I just went through Wrothgar yesterday exploring the whole place and grabbing Skyshards, and there were lots of other players everywhere I went, including in the city itself. And I'm on Xbox too, just so we're clear. If there is anything to what you say I'm curious to hear more, but I just don't see it.

You must be the only one then. I have this happen to me constantly and my guild mates suffer the same fate. The worst happened to a friend who got kicked to the dashboard, relogged, took three steps and got kicked again. This happened repeatedly until he was able to get out of Wrothgar. It took him half an hour to get out. I find it incredibly hard to believe you have actually been in Wrothgar on Xbox without being kicked to the dashboard.

I did get kicked once, but that was only after being in Wrothgar for a few hours, and on my alt I was there for about the same and didn't get kicked at all. And one kick in 6 hours of gameplay is actually pretty typical for this game as a whole, there's rarely a day I don't get kicked at least once or twice, and that most certainly includes all the many hours of gameplay I had prior to ever setting foot in Wrothgar.

So maybe it was a fluke, but I wasn't kidding about all the other people I saw, I couldn't go more than 30 seconds without running into someone else, often whole groups of people running dungeons, grinding mobs and doing world events, in addition to just passing by on their way to somewhere else.

So however true it may be that Wrothgar is glitchy, it most definitely is nothing even remotely resembling a ghost town, far from it. And for many people there's little to no issue at all, at least for however long they happened to be there, which I find doubtful that we're all just getting lucky to avoid issues so it can't be quite as bad as you made it out to be.

Also, if you have your Xbox set to standby mode so that it turns on more quickly, then I've heard it wreaks havoc with this game, I haven't had that option set since I've been playing this game. I always have my system power all the way off and sometimes unplug it for a while to make sure the cache is clear, which absolutely helps this and most (if not all) games run more smoothly.
