When can we expect changes on PTS?

PTS has been online for a few weeks now and you should have felt the rage ripple through the force by now. When can we expect to test the next iteration of this colossal monstrosity? If you guys want to launch this year, the clock is ticking.

I hope not because they have not even finished testing the guardian and we are not seeing much if any communication at all with the issues players have noted about stuff.

 

Hi all,

 

We’re going through all the feedback that’s being posted here. Thank you to everyone who has been providing constructive feedback and answering the questions listed in the feedback thread. There is a lot to read through, but we wanted to acknowledge that we are reading your posts.

 

One note that we are seeing is concerns of our overall lack of addressing questions in real time that have popped up. We know that this can be frustrating but at this stage of the feedback process, but we need your raw constructive criticism without us potentially changing or tainting it. This is especially important in the first few days of PTS and what we will be following for future phases of PTS. We also know that there is an ask for us to acknowledge every single thread that was created, but please understand that is not feasible in terms of keeping info consolidated and in one place with how the dev tracker functions. Know that we are reading each thread as they are updated and compiling the feedback and reviewing it with the team.

 

Here are common sentiments that we are seeing:

 

  • Concerns regarding the availability of defensive abilities.
  • PTS Jedi Guardian could be effective in story content but not endgame content.
  • Saber Throw/Saber Reflect should not be a choice.
  • The class is about survivability. The PTS Jedi Guardian does not feel like this.
  • Choices being offered as of now don’t feel balanced.
  • The gear and companion being offered during this phase of PTS does not equate to the live player experience.

We know there are questions surrounding this phase of PTS and will be addressing them in a consolidated dev post later this week after we’ve reviewed the feedback that’s come in since we’ve launched PTS.

 

This thread will be updated with a dev post later this week.

I did ask if we'd see the Guardian go back onto the PTS later but no response on that front.

The devs are also only really posting on the main pinned threads so it does seem like there's even less communication.

From the looks of it, they're aware of our concerns and supposedly making notes about feedback but we'll just have to wait to see if anything does change :/

This thread is a great example of folks not looking before they start complaining.

 

Yup, the pinned threads and dev tracker exist for a reason.

 

That being said it would be nice if the PTS status thread shows a rough estimate for when the next PTS cycle will go up. Currently that thread only says what's ready on the PTS right now.

Yeah because bringing up PTS with a butchered version of Sentinel should be super exciting...Watch them do that for every class so they can say they did a PTS but develop any actual content to 95% complete outside the PTS and then drop it on PTS right before it goes live...

you think that anything will change based on player feedback? the changes will most likely be implemented regardless of feedback given.
