Given the step away from milestone quarterly releases, will the PTS cadence change?

Avran_Sylt · January 18

Wondering if the PTS may end up being used "as needed" for certain feature introductions, or if will still stick to the quarterly "chapter release" format in terms of feature testing.

Also wondering. I’ve been asked how long PTS will be up for and when werewolf will be on PTS and I keep having to say that I have no idea.

I'd like to know too, especially as it pertains to NA / EU copies. Related thread:

since seasons are supposed to be 3 months long, seasons are added in updates,
updates must still be quarterly.

why would there be any change?
i believe this has already been clarified recently, but unsure where.

The patch cadence should still be the same, so it's unlikely that the PTS cadence will change.

That said, Jess did mention that there was a chance we could get PTS previews of early-in-the-process stuff, which would probably work best if they wanted to toss something up in the off-season.

Curious about this as well.

While we are currently tracking to the same PTS cadence as before, this is something we've talked about as a future opportunity. So, it is possible, just not something we have plans for just yet.

Hopefully very similar
