There's a queuing LINE in Daggerfall to enter a door. A LINE

Scaletho · July 8

A LINE!

Well done, ZOS. You created a LINE IN ESO. There are players there WAITING IN A HECK OF LINE to enter the door of the... castle? Manor? I don't remember. The Thieves quest in Glenumbra.

This is so ridiculous... oh ESO... this is so lame...

What is PTS for? Don't players test these things?

Why is this bad? It's meant to create hype.

I give the team props for this.

Asha was right.

Absolutely glorious!

Edit: it reminds me of the days when Oakensoul was added. Every lockbox in Murkmire was like this

there are usually not enough people on pts to test for this.

if there were hundreds of players testing the same thing at the same time during pts cycles then this would have been noticed easily.

I never imagined I'd experience real life queuing line in ESO...

I lived several years in GB and Japan, so there is no struggle for me with that.

Could I get banned or warned if I go there and ragebait them by telling them I entered in the castle in less than 30s?

Pale Order "Ancient text" lead, Oakensoul Murkmire safe box lead... plenty of queues in ESO history.

PTS can stress test with as many players as there are playing PTS. Would you believe me if I told you there are fewer PTS players than there are live players?

Lovin it!

I don't understand why everyone is in such a hurry to do these quests immediately that they are willing to suffer through this. The new Thieves Guild questline is a permanent addition to the game, and even the Tome challenge to complete them gives you 100 days or whatever.

Do you remember all those players in Shadowfen, who were sitting on the nodes and screaming "Shame!!!"?

katanagirl1 · July 10

I haven’t started this since I heard about the problems with the quest. I’ll do it later.

The only place I ever cut in line is in Tamriel and I feel like a heartless, inconsiderate waste of space right now.
😂
Awesome guys!

A lot of the problem is players not understanding the bug. It appears to be two-fold:

Only one player can pick the lock at a time - bad but not the real issue
The game camera does not pick up the lock - you have to slowly move your reticle over the door. The hitbox can be as small as 1 x 1 pixel from my experience. (I abandoned the quest several times to test other bugs inside).

Whats a QA team for?

If anything, this shows how well educated is ESO population.
I'm impressed - way better than IRL behaviour.

To be fair to ZOS, we did. I ran through the entire story line multiple times, always once and often two or three times per cycle and I believe the Thieves Guild stuff showed up in Week 2, so close to a dozen times through. Each time I went through I caught and identified every bug/glitch that I could (you can still find my exceptionally lengthy posts about it over on the PTS forum, btw). The major problem with stuff like this on PTS is that we don't have dozens/hundreds of players all trying to do the same story stuff at the same time. I recall quite a mob inside the Daggerfall Thieves Den at various points while testing, but this was primarily due to that room being the pick-up/turn-in point for most of the story quests, so the "mob" was a collection of individual players all doing something different that just happened to start/end in the same room. Might I suggest that if you think particular stuff should be tested on PTS, that you install PTS and join us?

I think they should at least add appropriate music...

Something in a conga perhaps?

If only there were people on a software team paid to plan and have foresight about these things, automated tools to test it artificially, and real testers. It almost sounds like a role that should be on every software team...

Players shouldn't have to playtest anything; the designers are responsible for it. Shifting blame to PTS testers is a definite hard no, esp. when none of them benefit financially from their input in the first place nor do they have any direct power to effect any change.

Greetings,

After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic, as it's a bug report
