PTS Template Gear (again) as of v3.0.0.1

LiquidPony · April 2017

* We're still missing: Infallible Aether, Moondancer, Vicious Ophidian, and Alkosh

* Less of an issue for testing but still weird, we're also missing: Agility, Willpower, Endurance

* The weapons for most Template sets only come in Precise, which is also frustrating for testing.

* The new Defiler set is missing a 1H axe.

The longer IA/VO/Moondancer are missing from the PTS, the more I think ZOS is just going to remove them from the game.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom I know it seems like a minor thing, but as a console player, this is a real bummer since there are no character transfers. I can't test anything that isn't in the Template gear.

Also, having to level crafting skills (especially alchemy and provisioning) is a bit of a pain.

I must second this.
It is quite Hard to actually test the results and Implications of far Reaching Balance Changes, if the Templates to test with are missing some key Sets. Also the list stated above is far from Complete. Also missing are:

- All "old" Sets of Masks and Shoulders. Those include Bloodspawn, Skoria, Kena, Warden, Nerien'eth just to name a Few. Some of those Sets see a constant and important use in the Game and should be in the Testing Process
- The "old" Sets dropped in Dungeons, that were not new Additions to the Loottable. For Example: Burning Spellweave, Sunderflame and many more
- As Stated above, some of the more Important Trial Sets are also missing.

As was already Stated in other Threads please implement an Option not to get these Sets in some Collection Boxes which fill up the Inventory of Template Chars, but Establish an Ingame Area with Special Vendors to Buy these Sets in any and all Possible Traits for a Miniscule amount of Money.This would greatly enhance the Testing Process. As an Alternative, make it Possible to Buy these sets in a Special PTS only Section of the Crown Store.

Additionaly: It would be a Tremendous Help if the Amount of Crowns would be Raised, since the Items in the Furnishing Menue are Full Priced and Quite Expensive. This is a Hindrance for Building Suitable Testing Environments with Target Skeletons for example.

Good thing you still have willpower then right

Could not agree more.

The current way of handling templates does not feel professional.

I don't mind the way the template gear is set up. I can just go to the pack merchant and max my bag space, and do the same at the bank.

Also an annoyance: the template NB I created on v3.0.0 doesn't have the new items that were added with v3.0.1 as far as I can tell. Which does actually lead to wanting a way to go "purchase" additional gear.

All in all it's kind of a PITA across the board.

More than anything, the lack of Vicious Ophidian makes it really difficult to test stuff, particularly on my stamblade which just isn't going to be able to properly utilize an all-Heavy Attack rotation like a DK or Sorc. I suspect that a build along the lines of 5 x VO, 5 x TFS, all Maelstrom weapons, utilizing *mostly* Rapid Strikes (but also some Heavy Attacks) would be viable on a stamina NB with 5 x VO, but I can't test it.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_RichLambert can we get VO/IA/Moondancer/Alkosh added to the Trials item box for v3.0.2, please? It would be very helpful for those of us who can't copy characters.

I'm coming from console as well and using a template character as a healer. Adding worm, spell power cure, twilight remedy would be very helpful please.

The weapons from the new sets come in precise, HOW am I supposed to test things properly. I don't even have all the monster sets, Velidreth would be helpful.
