A little strange question about pvp on PTS.

Ellis_Salamandis · April 18

Hi all!

Guys, this is my first time on the PTS and I was wondering if anyone is testing their pvp builds in Cyrodiil or the Imperial City here?
I mostly play pvp in these zones and I would like to test the new system in them, but there seem to be no people and testing loses all meaning.
Well, or just everyone went to test quests and trials to help Zos in looking for bugs.
Can you please explain how it works here.

Before dueling was introduced, people went to either the Atronach or Thief stone in Cyro since it was the only way to test things out on other players, and with Cyro being such a big zone, the PvP testing population being microscopic, and cross-alliance zone chat not being a thing, we needed a common location that was centralized and very open. Nowadays people test things out in homes with all the stations and stones, or near the newest Big Update Thingy, at least from what I've seen over the years.

Got it, thank you very much! Apparently duels remain the only way to test your build, because tests on dolls are not very objective.

I'm on and ready to test, username @Mag_z on the PTS.

Oh and also usually duelers congregate near the undaunted in Storm Haven.

Oh, thank you very much!

I got along with the guys near Skingrad, it hurt.
The new skills cause huge damage, my good build from the live server was shattered into smithereens!
