Dude, I ran full-speed into one of those ballord things on my road bike a few months back; I'm an idiot and wax looking down to adjust my mirrors and boom... Probably close to 20 miles per hour since I was on a downhill, stratight over the handlebars. Yeah, it Is as bad as it looks.

It's a testing server... It doesn't follow the release schedule of the live game, and it never will. It will have delays, it will have downtimes.

You don't pay for it. You aren't entitled to it.

The purpose of it is for people to test specific areas of the game. ESO is far, far larger than just "class deals this damage". There's quests, there's events, there's music, there's zones to explore, there's housing.

Every single patch notes thread starts with Gina explaining the purpose of that week's PTS, asking us to test a specific mechanic, event or feature. How can you expect to provide constructive and helpful criticism if you're unwilling to read the first paragraph of a developer post?

I mean... It's just a sandbox for some (ie me) to test new builds, but isn't it something that PLAYERS do for ZOS and not the other way around? ZOS gets free bug testing from many players; I'd say that THEY are doing the favors here.

Bound arnaments was added after initial patch note release. Same treatment would be nice.
New even, interesting.

I don’t get it. If you’re holding the PTS notes until the event announcement (?) but you’re releasing the notes tomorrow morning, when are you announcing the event? How do PTS notes spoil the event? Definitely something went wrong with the EU character copy like last time.

Dude. You just don’t get it, do you?

ZoS is giving us the opportunity to unlock a unique skin for our mounts. It will involve a tedious an exciting and mind-numbing fun-filled annoying run adventure through the lands of Tamriel!

They can’t just spoil the details!! What kind of barbarian would do that?!

So, like, calm your ***, bro. Seriously.

@ZOS_GinaBruno Any rough time frame for when during the day they will be released?

Also, this has nothing to do with the contents of the combat patch notes. Please slowly raise your hands above your head, and gently remove your tinfoil hat

lol ZoS is so shady, it could have it's own X-files episode...but nice try.

It looks different to me...

1) Someone screwed something up on the Implemention from EU Copies or that Event, which no one interessted in yet.

2) Holding Information back from that event, which nobody cares...

Which possibility should i choose?

Hello everyone! We know you’re anxious to see what the next PTS patch has in store.

Seems you are a bit anxious to show us ^^

A simple "We messed up and are not ready" would have been better (and the truth obviously).

That would press the sales figures down...some people would already complain about that.

Maybe it's new mount yes like indrix after the White one.
But it's maybe a new CP rework or feature or delete.
Maybe a F2P version.
Maybe a new year anoucement like Dragon year.
Maybe a prologue quest.
Maybe it's "Eso : Tamriel classic"
Maybe a TAA for replace this ugly fxaa
Maybe just a new event reward motifs
Or maybe the new party finder
Maybe it's lot of thing.

But i hope it's not trash one

Something they’ve not done before..... now this is a tricky puzzle to workout

They are going to try communicating with their player base, no that can’t be it
They are going to UAT their own game, no that can’t be it
They are going to listen to their players, no no that just can’t be it
They are going to follow the nerf bots and nerf classes the nerf bots don’t play, nope that can’t be it
They are going to speak to the player base without deliberately insulting or degrading them, no just nope can’t be that
They are actually going to funny when they make jokes,........ okay I may of gone over the top there

God this is difficult to workout, something they’ve not done before ...........

When i just read again the first post and understand.
I was so dispointed...

Player Vs player

Since balancing PvP and PvE together is too difficult, we have removed PvP from the game.
Cyrodiil is now one big crafting station, to park your nerfed classes and Battlegrounds are now a 4v4v4 /lute competitions.

We plan to add timed PvP tokens in a future update. We are not ready to share the vision for this update yet and never will be.

Why am I scared, I feel worried, my brain hurts.

Probably late morning, eastern time.

The fact that you, the community spokesperson, are accusing your community (that pays the bills for the company you are employed by) of analyzing incomplete agendas, effective or not, for a half decade old game that still doesn't know what clothes it wants to wear...that is a major yikes.
