    We'd provide an ETA if we had one, @Kas, promise. Sorry, we know this is frustrating. :( We're working to get the issue sorted and resolved as quickly as possible. We'd much rather everyone be in game enjoying Dark Brotherhood.

    Khajiit understands these things happen. She did at least get her new apprentice Spiny Tim to level 5 today.

    This one thinks maybe she might travel to Toussaint for a bit for a little taste of the blood and the wine.

    hmmmm I was playing around with the new item lock feature and things were a bit quirky with that... Some items wouldn't display the lock option... had to log out and log back in and then it would work for a little while... I hope my bank full of locked goodies is still there when I get back on tonight. :(

    How to test a major update ZOS-way:

    Step 1. Don't waste time for internal tests. Just push the patch to live servers in prime time.
    Step 2. Wait 4-5 hours for players to test the patch.
    Step 3. Find out the most obvious bugs.
    Step 4. Shut down the server for maintenance to fix these bugs.
    Step 5. ???
    Step 6. Profit!

    It amazes me what entitled jerks people are. By all means, please enlighten us on your extensive experience with testing major software. They don't take down servers lightly - they did it because an exploit was discovered. However, in your estimation, they have no idea what they are doing. Go you! You are an expert on the internet.

    is it an exploit now? i just read an item related issue...

    btw... were you ever on the pts? did you already take a peak at the posts from today talking about bugs that have been reported during pts phase and still made it to the live servers? maybe there's a good reason why people are making posts like this...

    Were you? Did you?

    They state there when they are not adding fixes anymore in the patches. It means they are focusing on the more importand things - fixing things to get live, but they have noted what have been found to add in a future planned patch. As long as they are not critical, after the stop they are never fixed until a later planned patch, not at the release.

    Anyone playing PTS and paying attention to forums knows that.

    Don't make it too obvious you are part of their programmers team. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Just letting you know there is really qualitative software in the world, and you should always improve to be able to deliver the best product to your customers. Instead we are just witnessing excatly the same issues over and over.

    See, it's a 50/50 thing for me.

    If I WAIT on patch day to download the update, I know that most (some) (maybe) of the gamebreaking bugs will be fixed.

    Downside: I could be missing out on getting A MILLION MATS FROM CRAFTING BAG GLITCHES!
    Upside: I could be missing out on having my ENTIRE BANK INVENTORY AND UPGRADES RESET!
    Downside: I could be missing out on having GLORIOUSLY OVERPOWERED GLITCHED GEAR!
    Upside: I could be missing out on having my HEALS GLITCHING TO DO SELF-DAMAGE!

    If I DON'T wait to download the patch and get online immediately, then simply take the upsides and downsides from above and reverse them.

    Since I tend to err on the side of caution, however, waiting's what I've done, and waiting's what I'll do.

    sure, a few times and reported things of course. until i realized it is a waste of time.

    unfortunately, haven't seen your thread stating something about a stop date. besides not having seen critical bugs patched. but you might be right that they patch the things 3 month later with the next dlc.

    I think its been mentioned before in this thread, not EVERYTHING can be tested on the PTS and the PTS is WAY DIFFERENT then the LIVE server. Thats life even i wanna get in and play the DLC but theres something called being patient, wont kill no one if they dont play for awhile.

    Unfortunately, not everything can be found on the PTS.

    Maybe if there were more people testing, we could have found more bugs. But it was really empty after the first week.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.
