TrixxieTriss Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 Advertise PTS on the login screen Advertise PTS on the login screen Sorry for another post, I think my first one wasn’t formated correctly. Hence it wasn’t seen by Bioware. Eric, please get this done so more people see it and we can get more participation.
Banderal Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 I agree. Something should be done to help inform people about the PTS, and also encourage them to go there. The download is a pretty big investment, not to mention the time to actually play there and provide feedback. I'm on PTS right now, imp side, 8:40 PM EST... there are 4 people on the fleet.
Lhancelot Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 I have a feeling they will announce some rewards to encourage participation on PTS soon, also they will be advertising this so all can see with the login screen. You just have to think optimistically and it will happen!

You just have to think optimistically and it will happen! I hope you’re right. But this has been suggested over and over for many years. They have only once (to my knowledge) organised an event on the PTS to do testing when they proposed making AOE not interrupt spam caps on the doors. It took one day to prove our point. Even then, I don’t believe they advertised in on the login screen. There was one post in the forums and these rest was word of mouth. We don’t have enough people still in the game to rely on that system to get enough testing done for a pvp road map. Remember this isn’t just one small change, this is a major release that has multiple pvp aspects that need testing I really hope they see this thread and take it too heart. We need to advertise it and we need too test it properly. But before they do, they need to fix the borked download problems that so many of us had/have. Many people who were keen to test have been put off by it or just given up.
TrixxieTriss Posted July 10, 2018 Author Posted July 10, 2018 So far Eric posted in PTS forum section about a play session. But that doesn’t go far enough. He really needs to post the PTS testing on the login screen to get a wider audience. Then they can add, a caveat, “refer to the PTS forum for details”.

I would have normally agreed with you, but after the incident I had over the weekend, I am not sure that will work if you have people like I ran into on Sunday.
Jedi_riches Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 A fair request, but make sure you advertise exactly what's on the pts ie advertise it as testing PvP changes so not to potentially waste the time of people who have no interest in testing the new update.

It’s also to test the new strong hold
Jedi_riches Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) It’s also to test the new strong hold OK, yeah it has the stronghold but again it's more of a pvp test which player are bewt to know ahead of wasting time downloading the pts. Edited July 11, 2018 by Jedi_riches

All they need to do is advertise it as up and testing and for people interested to get the details from the pts section of the forum. That way they can just use the same generic advert in the future and it doesn’t matter what the pts content is.

TrixxieTriss Posted July 13, 2018 Author Posted July 13, 2018 Check the launcher login screen next time you log in. Yay, they listened
Andryah Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 Yay, they listened But has it made any perceivable difference in testing and test results on PTS?
TrixxieTriss Posted July 13, 2018 Author Posted July 13, 2018 But has it made any perceivable difference in testing and test results on PTS? No idea, it’s only been up for less than 24 hours and I’ve not been online for the last 15
