Morrowind and Testing: We're Gonna Need More Than A Month

As excited as I am about Morrowind and all its glory, one thing has me worried: not enough time to test everything and hammer out bugs and issues. Usually updates are dropped a month before they're released, and that's generally enough time to get most of the big issues taken care of. However, Morrowind is going to be even bigger than any of the previous updates (maybe even ESO version 3.0), and there is a lot that needs testing and balancing. I mean, we're getting an entirely new class, battlegrounds, and more. We'll need more than a month to play with the Warden class and make sure it's not entirely OP or weak once it hits live. We'll also need to make sure battlegrounds is ready to handle everything. Morrowind shouldn't have an unbalanced class or any huge issues when it hits live in June.

    Khajiit suspects that as this an expansion and not a DLC we may not get to see it on the PTS first.

    I think the sad thing about the PTS testing for this will be how much will be known/spoilt before the expansions launch.

    I understand it's a necessary evil and PTS forums can be avoided but people are going to find things they don't like and rage all over the forums about it.

    I also don't think it will be on the PTS to be honest

    Agree entirely.

    The PTS should be invite only and every invitee required to sign an NDA that includes using PTS knowledge for third-party websites.

    Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse.

    Just for this release or in general?

    No need to put in on PTS!
    Wroebel will check out everything with his new warden (in his zos-exclusive 13th character slot).. and he won't stop until the warden kicks everyone's else's butt and rules everything pvp- and pve-wise!

    You are paying for the class, I can promise you that it won't be weak. Promise you that...overly OP? Maybe, I don't like it but I view it like the Imperial class. I don't like it they have more stats than everyone else (sans magic class) but if they are going to make you pay for a class, it should be top of the line. Again, I don't like that Wardens aren't going to be part of the base patch but since they are a paid class, they will be competitive at the least...

    ...on a positive note at least, maybe I can be something else other than a Templar if I want to be a healer now

    There will be an internal test with testing groups and a beta test.

    I actually *do* think it will hit PTS, but only for about the same rough month that most updates are on PTS. But there may be a selective and longer beta test prior to that.

    They never said anything about PTS. Most likely had some serious testing done when it was being put together. Wouldn't be surprised if Bethesda was apart of their testing team for this so they could push it out asap.

    I think they want everything to be fresh and new with this Xpack. Everything will be a surprise from launch.
