Everyone, please remember that the PTS is a completely separate and smaller server than the North American and European megaservers. That said, we are still collecting valuable information from this test and thank you for participating!

You guys should do this more often. Even just as a community thing. It's good for us to see the Devs play the game too even if we know you do already.

Maybe a regular thing (monthly?) with varying times (this was not PST friendly ).

This. It would be awesome if the devs would keep some kind of a regular PvP play schedule on the live server. I know we've all been too busy trash-talking the small PTS server that was put under a heavy load in this thread to remember that this was for test purposes. I, for one, would like to thank the devs for taking the time to schedule and take part in this event. I think we'd all love to do it again, regularly.

As frustrating as the crashes were, we did nail down what was causing it and have the gang working on it. Thanks again for coming out there to rumble guys and gals!

Great news . I wonder what it was or if we ever get to find out .

ZOS_BrianWheeler · February 2015

Was a prickly bug about NPC's and LOS checks in very specific situations.

What people in this thread need to realize is that this wasn't, COME SHOW EVERYONE HOW GOOD YOU ARE AT PVP it was to help them test by flooding an area with people and collect as much data as possible. Did anyone notice that when the event was over, you fps skyrocketed and ping dropped drastically?

did you also notice population drop to more than half of what it was during the testing?

So are you saying that if you fix this "prickly bug", and remove the lighting patch from summer we might have large scale PvP again?

People who compare tonight's test with what happens on thorn blade cannot be taken seriously as they're drunk with hyperbole and a side order of stupid

Knew it, calling it now. 1.6.2 "We have removed wolves from Cyrodiil to improve performance."

Like I said, must've been a deer party in the south.

Too much ass-kissing going on in this thread, can we go back to trash talking? This is the internets after all

@ZOS_BrianWheeler‌ Good to know is this also what's causing nps to detect you from miles away?

P.s. will you be scheduling a 2nd event when the fix is in place so we can test it again prior to live?

I hope they come out again maybe with less server crashes I hope they were able to gather some good data.

They got great data and even linked the crashing problem to NPC's and LOS . Be careful offering to help the Devs too much . You'll be accused of butt smooching . I guess fixing things is unpopular with some of the kids here .

To be fair this is a massive change, 1.6 is still beta, its to be expected they have bugs to work out. I'm glad this happened now rather then on launch.

Aren't we being a tad bit over the top dramatic? ZOS is only human, they make mistakes like anyone else, at least give them a chance to fix before folks toss them to the fire over a test server.

Looks like most people already forgot the book made out of patch note 1.6! Lot of hard work right there that need alot of testing.

This is exactly why we had a stress test on the PTS several weeks in advance to figure out how to get it on an acceptable level for the release.

Yes it is disappointing but it is not the end of the world. I'm still very satisfied by the amount of changes coming up and hopefuly the latency / stability will be better for the next PTS session with the devs.

The deer might not be an endangered species anymore either!

we have the gang working on it.

I hope to see some results before Tamriel Unlimited. Large fights are still way too laggy: unable to use skills for several minutes sometimes or stuck at doors that won't open.
