Greetings.

As everybody else I'm hyped about new tech, and I can't wait to review all my old loadouts and field the new goods. So I was wondering, if I should take part in PTS, or wait for you guys to betatest it for me and enjoy the new tech on live servers.
So yeah, a few questions about it:

How long do you usually wait to launch the game?
How many people are currently testing?
What's approximately download size to install PTS?
Is there any options to give my feedback and suggestions?
And is there any chance for my suggestions to have any impact?
And main thing, is it fun?

#1 pts is very full so wait time are short this time around. Last few pts I was only able to find games during g the first Day.
#2 Don't know guessing in the hundreds.
#3 I already had some of the pts downloaded but the patch was few gb.
#4 posting here
#5: not really
#6 yes 4v4 is fun, new weapons testing is good. Even learning what weapons you don't like is good as it saves $$
You can test hero mechs if you wanted to see before you buy.

Wait is literally seconds, As opposed to hours last PTS for the Skill tree.

Download size is huge, like 2GB.

YEs its possible you can make an impact, thats why they send out the PTS.

Is there any options to give my feedback and suggestions?

-> There is an entire subforum for PTS feedback
https://mwomercs.com...gy-public-test/

And is there any chance for my suggestions to have any impact?
-> Depends on your feedback. Since the Skilltree PTS PGI startet to at least read the feedbacks. Some are taken over, others are not.

And main thing, is it fun?
-> Defenitly YES. 4v4 matches are fun. Tinkering around with the new tech with a nearly endless budget in CBills and MC is a charm.

Also a reason why you should join is finding out the right builds for your mechs. I even save screenshots so just have to rebuild them when it goes live. It will save you a lot of money/grind time.

Also lots of unusual builds there so little meta meching that its allways fun to see what interesting new config you might encounter.
Frankly I have more fun with the PTS then I had in the past month with normal QP.

Quite convincing, guess I'll go download it tomorrow.

Thanks for replies!

I think the most traffic on the PTS was the one just prior to clan launch. Wait time was horrendously long because the system was being dogpiled by login and matchmaking requests.
