    More to the point, do they test anything...

    Ofc they do, then they do their best to release live content that is buggy, then say eventually they will fix it

    Their QT department are the best in the business, dont ya know? ;)

    Tested on PTS. The 3 people who took part had no ping issues. Good to go! :D

    You don't need to do a test to know that this would happen. We all know that the game is not capable of having hundreds of people in the same subzone. It never had in the past. Thus, when you promote an event and invite everyone to congregate in the same place this is the result. There's no mystery to it.

    Yes, and it was fine.

    HOWEVER

    The PTS NEVER has nearly enough people to test a stress like this to the servers.

    You can't test this kind of thing on the PTS. I am just now seeing that we either are not separated in shards anymore or the hard player limit per shard is way higher than it should be.
    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.

    It was on the PTS. But from what I hear, not a lot of players ran the event. I think maybe most got sidetracked by crown crate testing.

    And it's no wonder there isn't anyone to be found on the test server since you can tell them about game breaking bugs and they'll still release it and just ban people that exploit any game breaking bugs. They should probably just scrap the PTS, it's just a really bad joke.

    Is there any need for the PTS if Zeni just going to release broken/buggy content like this anyway.??

    But it also helps if you don't break your servers three days before that same event, then try and fail to fix it two days in a row.

    I mean, between the flaws in the event design itself and the game performance this week, anyone who didn't see this coming was deluding themselves.
