Participating in the PTS: DO IT! JUST DO IT!

I'd very glad to help with testing, but putting another 80gig on my SSD is out of the question.

I've been trying to DL the PTS for several days, it keeps having errors and stopping. It finally made it past 14% just a few minutes ago LOL. Ugh.

I bought a 500 gig for the sole purpose of this game. All it has is Live and PTS. Now they are about the same price as a launch price game.

Meh ...
Did 6 months of PTS before PC launch while being part of the super secret in-house Psijic Order 24/7 beta test group.

Our feedback was largely ignored and ZOS launched the game with a myriad of issues that we had warned about, some of which were rather serious.

And every bigger PTS update since has had the same issue. The bulk of the bug reports are simply ignored.

What makes you think ZOS will treat the PTS feedback any different this time?

Then participate in the PTS and provide constructive feedback in the PTS forums! That way hopefully most major bugs/imbalances can be addressed before the new update hits the live servers.

Only IF they bother to listen to feedback...

It depends. Are you a sorc? In that case they will.

Uh huh...just like they listened to all the sorcs screaming about the shield nerfs and the dumb ass logic behind it. PTS is a waste of time.

They didn't listen to the Magden community for the past year + so why in hell would I waste my time testing and offering feedback if it just falls on deaf ears.

Lol I’m sorry but sure you should participate in the PTS but do not expect anything you say no matter how detailed, to make an impact unless you’re a YouTuber.

I remember doing a detailed response to the first nerfs to Stam DK sustain that drastically affected PvP. I had tons of support and it was instead pushed right through. Made a post about DK wings not reflecting things and comets... end result was comets became un-reflect-able while not addressing the reflect bug. In the end wings was then nerfed to only 4 projectiles lol.

Sorry but playing this game for almost 4 in a half years has made me very cynical in terms of providing feedback no matter how concise it is.

I’m already disgusted by part of the main story being behind DLC dungeons, and already regret pre-ordering Elsweyr.

By all means participate. But ZOS needs to listen to the feedback. Problem is that in the past numerous issues where reported prior to a DLC being launched and ZOS would launch it anyways. Then players had to put up with more bugs and performance issues.

This is my obnoxious reminder that listen =/= act on. Someone can listen to something but that doesn't mean they will act on or do exactly what is said by the person.

Ye, they love to let them bugs through even after being told about them, I get you have to white knight them because of your role but how do you defend the absolute lack of communication in every area and game breaking bugs that are still active after YEARS of knowing about them.

Unsure of how something you read in the natch potes will affect certain gameplay aspects?

Unhappy with something you read in the natch potes and want to gather solid evidence/numbers to support your belief?

Want to wear gold jewelry/armor/weapons without having to grind and pretend that you're living a lifestyle that you can't afford on the live servers?

Are you impatient and want to experience brand new content the earliest you can?

I always do participate but they leave the console players out and I feel their feed back is just as important and needs to be heard.

I'd love to. But I don't have the bandwidth to download it. I'm limited to 12 gb on a rolling 30 day time-frame.
