1.5?

Zabus · September 2014

Usually we get the new update available to test on the PTS 2 weeks after an update goes live on the live server.

So I figured we'd get an update around the 29th. Just want confirmation.

LonePirate · September 2014

That's my guess as well, sometime during the week of the 29th.

Dominoid · September 2014

I think Wednesday of this week.

ya, sounds about right. stoked to see whats up in 1.5 "crosses fingers" for justice system/spell crafting. prob not til 1.6 or 1.7 tho.

Imp666 · September 2014

No chance for justice/spell crafting...

My guess is, it is going to be more meaningless tweaks just like 1.4. There might be a chance for WW updating, but I wouldn't bet on it:P

Yeah probably some dumb update. I'm really hoping for imperial city, but I doubt it's coming before 1.6/1.7

Skizer78 · September 2014

I am not as interested in the Justice system or the spellcrafting as much as I would rather have some new and better motifs so I can craft some gear that looks better than what we are stuck with at this time. I know they have added new gear but I am not gonna spend forever farming kills in PvP just on a chance that I might get a piece of the new stuff. I would also like to see that new solo PVE zone Wrothgar. I might change my mind on the spellcrafting but there are so many ways that it can be done wrong that I will have to see it before I do. I just hope it is not to long before I get a chance to see something new that I can enjoy as a solo player (because of my time constraints) instead of all this group and guild type content.

I see the PTS as useless. ZOS doesn't even upload some patches to the PTS...or they just push patches live despite tons of reports of bugs.

PTS is irrelevant.

Kego · September 2014

1.5 will be:

City of Ash Vet. Dungeon
Stamina Regen at Heavy Attacks
Stamina Skill balancing
Maybe WW Changes

already done...

You forgot chat bubbles / facial animation improvements / group tool optimization.

LonePirate · September 2014

There is absolutely nothing in 1.5 that interests me or makes a difference to my usual experience in the game.

LonePirate · September 2014

Yay! Looks like 1.5 is being pushed to the PTS today. Unless they are simply updating it with 1.4.4.

And everyone in the world is working for you....Got cha!

Cogo · September 2014

I am serious now. Don't bother with the PTS server. The muppets over there refuse to bug report unless they get rewarded. All they do is check out new stuff, attack something...solo. And die.

And those who USED to try to get groups to do things, got laughed at. So you lost them.

Just push out 5 in a month. The grinders will do the testing on the live server anyway.

Nightreaver · September 2014

@Cogo
You're complaining about anyone that is actually taking the time and making the effort to do any kind of testing on PTS while at the same time urging people that might contribute more or do a better job to avoid it all together.

Those "muppets" you speak of are in much greater numbers on Live server. I see no more reason to avoid the PTS because of them than I would the Live server. There actually are good people that I highly commend for their time spent testing on the PTS. They may just not be as noticeable because they are, well, busy testing and filling out bug reports.

Ok, so I'm serious now too.
I welcome anyone that has complaints about the quality of testing on PTS and thinks they could do a better job to come join us and help improve the testing.

Cogo · September 2014

@Nightreaver
I know there are good people on Test server. Just not enough of em, and Zeni is obviously not getting the correct bug reports they need for a PTS server.

I am sorry, but PTS is perfectly free to use. But it's pointless to have one if only a few 100s players use it. Even 1000. Zenimax already tested themselves groups etc.

They need data on what happens when 50.000 players do the same thing. Which produces bugs that 100 players doing the same thing...would not.

Also, the data they do get from the PTS server must be somewhat correct, to be of any use, right?

Where the hell did the reason for "it takes to long" to go from Vet 12-14, come from? Which they nerfed caused of PTS server feedback.

How many hours after 1.4 was released, did it take before the first Vet14? 12?

The Arena on HARD mode is cleared already! ZOS even stated that they made the Arena hard mode even harder on live servers then the PTS, but didn't say that in 1.4 release.

Yes, TONS of respect to those who use the PTS and feedback/bug report.
I mean that. If I could, I would use my time to be your "hireling". No joke...that's how much I respect the play and help they do.
But if the effect of the PTS is giving the wrong data....which it clearly did here. Why have it.....

Dominoid · September 2014

To increase PTs participation they have in the works:

- Play YOUR character on the PTS. Now will it be a copy with progression on the PTS lost? Don't know.

- Rewards for PTS testing. Most likely vanity things.

If I could play my "real" character on the PTS and have it save my progression, I'd party there all the time.

Cogo · September 2014

I think a copy of your char is a really good suggestion. Copy....which stays there and cant get items etc, back with it.

Vanity items..sure. But then it has to be something you have to do. Like X days of grouping for Y. Doing X reports etc. Sure....that's great.

But only logging on PTS and faff around to get a vanity item will just flopp.

Draxys · September 2014

I thought 1.5 when I saw the PTS updating, but oh well. Regardles of when it's implemented, here's hoping that 1.5 will be PvP focused... It's about freaking time now that 50+ percent of avid PvPers have left. Salvaging what's left of us should be priority for them at this point.

Let's hope it's only 50 % :P

Petros · September 2014

And I'm still waiting on Jewelcrafting, which was in a statement before the launch.

rophez_ESO · October 2014

What about today's maintenance? Is it 1.5?

demonlkojipub19_ESO · October 2014

AngryNord · October 2014

Haven't they said that 1.5 will be the updated facial animations 'n stuff, plus a new vet dungeon?

KenjiJU · October 2014

Hoping to get a preview soon. I want to see what they have in store for melee/stam builds before I get too attached to magicka.

same waiting on this, not bothering with magika build untill spellcrafting comes but i do love mele, really hoping for a 2h heavy build that wont get you thrown out a group, hoping they finally give it a good push.

abigfishy · October 2014

Doesn't also dual weild get you thrown out of a group? Doesn't every group of 12 want 11 staves and 1 1H+shield?

(I think some groups tolerate bow if they are getting desperate.)

Sunrock · October 2014

http://tamrielfoundry.com/2014/10/eso-guild-summit/ list a few things that will come with 1.5

I have seen dual wield builds in AA pull over 800 DPS. So there should be no reason for a group not to take a dual wield player that knows what he is doing. However its allot harder to get high DPS then using a staff. And the really sad part is that with a staff you can always get higher DPS in groups then any melee weapon or bow can get during long fights no matter how high DPS you have because of 1 magic skill called equilibrium that trades your HP for magica. As you constantly getting healed during tirals or almost any group content the risk of trading HP for MP is very low witch makes this skill very OP for magica builds.
