PSA: Playtesters at ZOS this week
ZOS_GinaBruno
Community Manager
Hey all,
We want to give everyone a heads up that we've invited a small number of some of our top theorycrafters to the studio. These players will be playtesting some of our upcoming content and features this week with the goal being to get early, targeted feedback and suggestions.
The selected players have signed an NDA and while you may see some of them mention that they'll be at ZOS this week, please understand they aren't able to discuss the play sessions for a few weeks.
Thanks!

✭Wow this is actually huge, big step towards using player feedback. Battlegrounds will add a new level of depth to the balance of the game, and the current way of "break everything every 6 months" is not going to work, looking forward to hear about the results of this playstest.
Now wait to crybabies complaining about "they are going to change the game to please a few streamers blablablabla"5 -

✭✭Very nice! Just a question? Are the invited players PvE or PvP oriented? I hope that it is a mixture of them because both metas are quite different.Because I can!0 -

It's a mixture of both.8 -

✭While I appreciate taking in player opinions and comments, I hope you're including casuals and some folks that give alternative thoughts to the min/max mentality. We'very been feeding the same meta for too long which has led us to a narrow choice of skills and sets to be competitive.6 -
Dexxadude✭✭This is an impressive step in the direction of player feedback. Unfortunately its biased feedback of a selected few.6 -

Soella✭✭✭✭Great news!
As a casual player, I trust combine opinion of ZOS and players on balance and similar questions. Question I have if ZOS plan in the future similar sessions regarding economy/crafting? I like the directions the game grow, but trade system and crafting require complete overhaul.

That's awesome! Definitively a step in the right direction. Let's get the testing started. I assume they will be the first to conquer morrowind, the warden and the battlegrounds.0 -

✭✭✭✭Does those selected have to travel to zos studio to test things on internal severs?0 -
Anhedonie✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Just make sure they play both stamina and magicka, dd, healer and tank builds.
It's no fun when ESO becomes Maelstrom Daggers Online or Destruction Staves Online.Profanity filter is a crime against the freedom of speech. Also gags.2 -

✭✭I wonder how "top theorycrafters" is determined? In-game performance metrics? Number of builds shared with the community? Number of twitch followers? Number of irate PTS forum posts? [PC/NA] @silvereyes | My Addons on ESOUI.com4 -

It's Wrobel isn't it?umm wonder how honest the feedback is gonna be? Good job I'm not a play tester as my "feedback" would require physical interaction with atleast one dev

Good call, because even though you asked nicely, I imagine a lot of people would constantly attempt to pry info from them.

Understandable. I wouldn't want this announced if I was one of those players.
Also, you said the NDA is only for a "few weeks". Does that mean we will get more news about this new content this month still? You know we can never get enough of shiny new information...0 -
DschiPeunt✭✭✭✭
Yeah, I understand this too. But on the other hand, I would also be good to see, if all aspects of the game are represented well. A lot of the best PvErs are on the EU server as an example and I was curious, if one of them was invited as well.ZOS_GinaBruno wrote: »DschiPeunt wrote: »
