Why no performance thread for PTS?

Plenty of feedback threads for the various aspects of next update in the PTS section, but none for performance increases, which I believe this update was going to address.

    Because performance doesn't make ZOS money, but the content does :)

    Maybe ask in the PTS forum?

    Not enough players online at the same time, performance testing would be mostly irrelevant compare to live.

    If you have a performance related issue from PTS, start a thread on the PTS forum for it.

    The only ZOS reads/responses are copy/paste here

    They should make stress test events.

    PTS does not get the users to make any comparison with the live servers
    So does not matter much (or indicate much either) unless the PTS runs like a real dog...

    That doesnt actually work for PTS environments. The PTS hardware is generally not identical to the main server in terms of performance. Stress testing a weaker system wouldnt really tell you all that much beyond really giant bottlenecks QA/QC should be catching anyway.

    When you see "stress tests" its almost always on a brand new title before release where they want players to abuse the crap out of their servers so they can fix any faulty hardware or polish the code a bit more for launch.

    That’s for players who are ON the PTS to make posts, Dear, as stated in the sticky. For the rest of us we can only read the feedback, this why I ask the general question in General Discussion.

    Mmmkay ... I guess I’ll be the one that asks the “elephant in the room” question:

    What exact performance improvement feedback do you have that’s SO important to relay to ZOS??

    That is nonsense because PTS patch did include performance changes.

    PTS is by nature a test environment so bugs and glitches will be rampant, there are many threads to deal with each aspect of the testing, gear sets, housing, dungeons, PvP and quests there is no overall "performance" thread because of this.

    Not enough ppl to have the same performance issues as live. These issues cone from sheer numbers and the add ons that ping the server along with all the other information and spaghetti code.
