Shadowmaster✭✭✭✭Congrats all!
As said on Twitter to Alcast though. I have a lot of respect to the dedication and effort you all put into these clears, but at the same time it's very disappointing to see content being beaten on the first day (or hour) of a new update.
Fang Peak bosses are 50x harder than Volenfell ones maybe whoever is making those dungeons should be helping with the trial stuff.1 -

I kind of agree, but then again imagine if the best players like them couldn't clear it. The vast majority of the player base still can't clear older vet trials which are easier.3 -

Rokushakubo✭✭✭Yeah I don't really think this means much to most especially given that y'all have been running it on PTS. Would mean more in a game where PTS doesn't exist and the race for first starts for everyone equally. Nonetheless, congrats on being the first to login and run content you've been running for weeks.20 -

You realise that maybe that's what they get their joy out of? I never ever see end game players bash how other people play their game but there's enough of y'all that bash them. Go pay their sub fee and then maybe you can dictate how they play.They nerfed magsorcs so hard stamsorcs felt it,lol - Somber97866

Maybe if it was a real trial it would've taken longer than 15 minutes, tho.
Have you ever had your mom lecture you for 15 minutes? 15 minutes can be a very harrowing trial depending on the situation.“Whatever.”

At the same time, there aren't going to be a lot of organized groups capable of providing feedback on Vet HM trial runs. Past Craglorn, I haven't even touched vet mode for any of the new trials. That was their prize to earn, and it's not going to take any thing from the game I'm playing.Something doesn't sit right with me that content released just this morning was beaten because people got to play it and practice for a month on the PTS.

It does feel good, thank you! We're also not pleased with how the PTS system is, but as it stands, zenimax doesnt have a proper QA team to test these trials, so its either this or release bugged and flawed content.Hodor making bad people cry about things they'll never achieve anyway

congrats on your achievement but don't you think the fact that you all ended up stacking nighblades for your clear other then tank/healer essentials - is ALSO flawed?
not trying to put it all on you, its on ZoS to balance classes, just mean... if the purpose of you all testing it on pts is to make sure that content is not released in flawed state... seems like its not really serving its purpose anyways.dirty worthless casual.

✭The practice time is nice, but the biggest advantage they get is the ability to pull whatever set piece they want out of the container of All The Sets That Exist.
Wanna try dual wielding master swords? Just pull them out of the bag. Sword and mace? In the bag. Mace and axe? In the bag. Different traits? In the bag.
They never need to farm for the items they want to use in their practice and experiences. So they never end up spending time getting items that do not work as well as expected.
The pre-release practice time already calls into question the value of “first”, but having god mode for gear makes the first clear on the test server still have a credibility issue.Xbox NA3 -

Oh, I know that.
Did you read my second-to-last paragraph?
Hodor, and all the other pc players, never need to spend time farming gear to experiment with sets because all of those items are in the bag. So they don’t have to spend time on the live server getting an item that turns out to be a dud.
They only ever need to farm on live for the exact piece that worked the best on the test server.
Not only does the pre-release exposure grant special practice time, but also they don’t have to farm gear for experimentation - they already know what’s exactly needed and have prepped their live server characters with those items.

The point he was making was that it’s eliminating trial/ error and failure times. That’s why people are discrediting the declaration of “world first” when Hodor’s actual “world first” was whenever they first did it on PTS—with caveats regarding gear optimization on the fly. I mean you can do the Trial sets WITH the Trial sets on PTS without having to farm any of them, can’t you? I didn’t check it out this cycle PTS but I think that’s the case.4 -
