Elder Scrolls Online: This Weekend's Test Parameters Detailed

Zenimax has posted a short note on the official Elder Scrolls Online site. According to the post, those who have been invited are all being asked to attend to, in essence, help test the server structure and stability.

We’re getting closer to 4.4.14, when The Elder Scrolls Online officially launches for PC and Mac, and we’re working hard to ensure that the first steps of your adventure in Tamriel are as smooth as possible. This weekend’s test is a key part of those preparations—we’ve invited a massive number of players worldwide to this session to help us get ready and test all of our systems at high volume.

If you were invited, you’ll be actively helping us make launch better with your participation. We need you to get in there, be persistent even when you encounter issues, and push all of our systems hard. We’ll be doing a number of our own tests during the session, like bringing the server down and back up, to gauge how our systems respond to these situations. With your help, we can uncover problems and solve them before launch.

    Was hoping they would provide a little more meat to chew on outside of the test.

    You stay sassy!

    It's just for stress testing the servers and random bugs,not long playing times.

    Wrong!

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

    You do know that stating you are participating in the beta is against the NDA right?

    Just to question the philosophy. Army of Socrates.

    Zenimax have stated that we can say we are participating in the beta but that's it.

    This doom and gloom thread was brought to you by Chin Up™ the new ultra high caffeine soft drink for gamers who just need that boost of happiness after a long forum session.

    I mentioned in the previous test thread that it was only for the weekend like the beta tests I've been invited to before this one..  honestly from friday night till today at noon just seemed kinda pointless for me to try and even get into ESO especially when they are gonna dc you constantly. .  I for one wouldn't mind actually helping beta test the game with some actual game time. But it's pretty clear the "beta invites" aren't what people who didn't get one thought.. "beta tester"...Not quite.. more like "hey come get on our servers for very short periods of time to stress test our game servers". I'll pass on being a "stress tester".

    I have yet to meet beta which is SO unstable. It's unbelievable, crashing constantly no matter what you do and I am not alone with this bs. Settings don't matter, actually nothing matters... Oh and reinstalling = redownloading that fat 25GBs, that helps.

    When there are fansites already listing classes/skills/exact dmg values... NDA, right.

    You must not have been in a lot of STRESS tests then. Which is what this ESO weekend was. A stress test. Thinking back, I have been in plenty of closed beta stress tests that were unplayable. The whole point of a stress test is just that. To test something. Whether that be throwing everyone into mass PvP, or trying to overload the servers and see how much they can handle, and what needs tweaking. Don't ever go into a stress test and expect it to be a free advertisement weekend for the game. It's not.
