When are they due to transfer existing PC EU chars to the PTS?

Tigerseye

I downloaded the PTS and my existing PC EU chars weren't there yet, so just wondered when this would be happening?

Made a level 1 Bosmer Warden, instead and was very unimpressed with the Wood Elf dodge roll "speed boost", btw - it's virtually not worth having, at that low a percentage and duration.

Barely noticeable, in fact...

It's totally eclipsed by the existing Bow skill passive, Hasty Retreat.

Maybe, if it stacks with Hasty Retreat, it will then be OK?

But, as usual, I digress...

Week three of PTS.

You can create a fully leveled template character though. Top left corner on character creation screen. Since testing a passive that is only unlocked at level 50 on level 1 character is a bit weird. And something can't "eclipsed" by bow passive if it stacks with it.

Oh OK, thanks for your help.

I thought, as it was a racial passive, it would be available from level 1?

I got the usual animation for a speedboost, when I dodge rolled, so assumed it must just be very underwhelming.

...and yes, actually, it can be eclipsed by it, if you were hoping to use it without a bow.

Say you were, for example, using bow/bow (for the speed boost) and hoping to use something else instead.

all racial passives have levels, just like they have now.. Have to put skill points in them also...

Racials work in the same way as all other skills and must be unlocked as you level up. Last rank of 4th racial is unlocked at level 50. You also have to spend skill points on your racials for them to take effect.

Unless you have a bow equipped there is no any kind of speedboost animation after roll dodge. What you are talking about is probably roll dodge fatigue animation.

On the last point, I do not understand what you are trying to say. If bosmer roll dodges with any weapon they will get 20% movement speed for 3 seconds. If he does it with a bow, it will be 50% movement speed for 3 seconds (20% racial for 3 seconds + 30% major expedition from hasty retreat for 4 seconds) and 30% movement speed for another second (last second of hasty retreat). Nothing is getting eclipsed.

There’s a posted sticky at the top of the PTS forums that’s really difficult to miss. Someone didn’t have their “head up”:
