Delayed Releases and Their Accessibility Affects Feedback

With the EU character copy happening alongside solo dungeons, every NA player is forced to go through the arduous process of setting up a template character to test the solo dungeons at all. With how much time it takes to do so, I think you have shot yourself in the foot in regard to PTS feedback by launching solo dungeons and EU character copy simultaneously (not to imply anything against EU, except that the PTS population is small and this cuts it down further). Nowhere Vault, at least, could’ve easily been completed on a template character. Especially considering this is unknown content and I’m not keen on remaking several characters to thoroughly test the content, let alone how much I’m not keen on remaking even just one.

I'm not sure how much work the templates are for ZOS but, if they aren't too painful it might help to add a template or two that comes with a more optimized build.

That way the EU people have an easier time getting into it on NA weeks and the NA people have an easier time on EU weeks.

Obviously, that isn't going to work for when you want to test something specific but, for general stuff it'd be less painful if it didn't take 20 minutes to get on a build that is at least somewhat comparable to what we might use on Live.

I think you're onto something, honestly. The templates come with useless gear that could be changed to Null Arca + Tide-Born or something. Automatically have the Thief mundus and all the CP passives. Tripots on the quickslot wheel. Then people just have to put in attributes, cp slottables, and skills unless they want to exactly copy one of their builds.
