Not really because if you point out any issues in the PTS they generally will not fix them on release. and only reason I like it, is so I can find a PVP build that works to annoy a large group of people.

not really the new content, but rather the new balance changes. Kinda hard to find people to duel tho, depending on when I hop on.

I've never been interested in playing a beta (closed, open, whatever) of any game's expansions. I'd rather see the theoretically-finished product.


Of course, with all the various other ways that companies put games out nowadays (f2p games frequently open up in "beta" and then declare a "release" later, even though there's no real functional difference; Early Access games can be alpha/beta quality, or can be well made but producing content in chapters; etc) it's sometimes hard to draw a sharp line.


(One clear separation is between honest-to-god beta/PTS things where your progress will be wiped, and "betas" which are on the regular servers and effectively just a head start for participants. I'm definitely not looking to spend dozens of hours playing preview content only to lose everything and have to do it all again "for real".)

I played a beta before for a game (wow BC) and when it released I didn't have the same level of excitement.

I don't want to know beforehand with games.

I got an invite but decided I wasn't going to do it.

I prefer leaving the testing to the experts. I'm just happy playing overland content. And staying on live servers is a no brainer especially with Anniversary event going on.

I think a PTS is very important. Truthfully I stopped using it in this game long time back when they were making some major class changes (back when BOL had the major changes)

86 pages of feedback to the templar thread without a single response from ZOS. Pretty much have not really used the PTS since that time.

I care about PTS testing. I keep track of PTS discussions and patch notes. I understand the value and importance of PTS testing. I don't participate in PTS testing because of my limited gaming time.

I've played betas and PTSs in the past and have usually wished I didn't. Most of the time I end up going into the actual releases with far less enthusiasm due to glitches and bugs that are inherent to the pre release versions of the game. I have found over time I enjoy the game more if I just wait.

This is the first time I tried PTS. I take it serious and try to provide reasonable feedback.

Probly just a stress test. I dont think they listen to much feedback from patch to patch. Not unless you’re somebody.

I personally don't play on PTS all that much, but I do see its value for those that do.
