We are going to be pushing a small incremental patch (1.5.8) to the live megaservers next week, but we're still testing Update 6 internally. We want it to be in good shape before we hand it over to all of you on the PTS. We'll let you know when we have a better idea of when that will be, but in the name of being as transparent as we can, there is a possibility it will not be next week.

Although not what I wanted to hear, Thanks for the Update!

Honestly you guys have how many players here waiting to test 1.6 at this point? I'd imagine the shear volume of players going to the PTS for this would trump in one day what you guys could test in weeks. But just my opinion. Maybe I'm over estimating the participation in the PTS.

Maybe release a list of thisngs you'd like feed back on like ya have previous times.

Absolutely, we do plan to do that. We're putting together a schedule of testing events to help us get some very focused testing and feedback on specific things. We'll also have a list of suggested testing goals we'll share when we post the patch notes.

Awesome! I figured as much....Excited to see what you guys have cooked up for us

I wonder if it's purely coincidental, that any VR progress people make before 1.6 goes live is gets wiped out and ZOS wants lots of testing of 1.6 on the PTS. Almost seems like people have nothing they can do but test 1.6. /takes tinfoil hat off.

I'm happy that ZOS is trying to get this right, and as long as they keep pushing back the release date to the live server and give it ample time to test it then I'm good.

Only problem I have right now is Haderus has gotten boring again, it seems rather pointless to level any other character below VR14 due to abilities changing and only getting 30 Champion points regardless of VR rank... so... not really much else to do in the game for me atm. I hate crag and trials so that leaves PvP. Thorn is laggy mess and Haderus is great once or twice a week. So I just feed my horses, gather alchemy plants, maybe do a writ or two and then log off.

Nevermind, why bother.

Don't want to be a negative nancy but please can that list include a zerg on zerg battle in PVP and see how it "works out" as Im pretty sure you get alot of feed back for that problem alone.

I can't help thinking that they have tried to do too much in one go. Why not introduce the Justice System and the Champion System separately? There are other changes in 1.6 that seem unnecessary - VR10 foods, stacking food and drink, combat mechanics (AoE effects), bug fixes, etc.

There's rumours that the patch notes are already over 60 pages!

Even to test 1.6 on the PTS we'll have to read a users guide - and just imagine how confused the people who don't read the forums are going to be when they wake up to 1.6.

It could also be that they are not working on separate codebases for each sprint to avoid merge issues and to simplify test, to see that everything works well together. It takes more time to use the same code base but work on development in separate codebases and then have to merge and then test it over again to see that no code changes in different codebases conflicts and creates issues.

All thou, usually hotfixes are done in a codebase based on production and then merged to the development codebases, that's how most companies I know do it. Thou I am a dev. I do not work with games at all so I could hypothetically miss something...

6 had better be phenomenal. I really mean it. With all the BS we have put up with since release, this CP nonsense has been the straw for me personally. I haven't even logged into the game in the last two weeks and my sub just renewed today. Unless I see a compelling reason to keep playing I'm certainly not going to keep paying for it. I will check it out when it hits PTS and bugs aside, it had better be fun to play again or I'm jumping ship.

I haven't had fun playing this game in over a month. The content is old and tired and the mechanics are a joke, i.e. block casting, limited useful builds, etc. I'm fairly certain they will never fix Cyrodiil, or release a reasonably working update. I played Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim for years. Each iteration was an improvement on graphics, physics, and AI. I never thought I would be bored of an Elder Scrolls game in under a year. At this point I find it to be a mediocre MMO and a sad imitation of a TES game. I really hope 6 changes this.

I can't wait til "shortly after thanksgiving" - 2015* - Valentine's Day? console release? ... for 1.6!

As of now, we're still targeting January; we'll let everyone know as soon as we have a date. We're working on testing a few things internally to ensure Update 6 is in good shape before it hits PTS.

That's great! Can't tell you how excited the community is for this update. I hope our antsy behavior is seen as a positive note.

Will there be patch notes for today's incremental patch?
