Live stats added by u/Evilprince35

---- PTS seemingly have higher caps on Attributes when re-calibrating ----

Re-calibration Score have showed up, goes from +1 to +100 calscore. Does not seem to grant gear score increase anymore.

Score seems to reflect the item stat values out of max possible roll with +100 calscore being max possible roll/cap.

Recalibration Station: It seems like we can roll stats now a lot higher then before (e.g. 5% AR damage on gloves - which was max. before - can now go up to 10%) - u/AlmightySven

Dark Zone Normalization is changed. You seem to have more armor/HP but weapon damage is low(?).

Absorb drone can only take a fixed amount of damage before it gets destroyed if shooting a player.

Currently it seems the drone "soaks" the bullet damage onto itself and once you effectively pass the drones HP it get's destroyed.

There is now a quit button (R) from the menu.

Feel free to add your own finds below and I can update the list.

Hey, we already said this in our forum post: We currently only want you to look for bugs on the PTS. There are a bunch of balance changes that have not made it into today's PTS build.

Balance is not what we're looking at for the first phase right now.

Then what exactly are you looking at? Should players on the PTS just give random feedback on "bugs" without any communicated changes or assigned test tasks? Because then you can also get rid of the PTS as it serves no purpose beyond what's possible with feedback on the live game already.

Yes, the first phase is literally bug hunting. If you find something that is broken, let us know!

Balance will be a discussion topic in one of the next phases and then you're more than welcome to provide us insight and feedback on what you feel about the changes present on the PTS.

Just to give you the full picture: Not all balance changes that are coming for TU3 are yet on the PTS.

Without all changes to balance being present, we disagree with that statement.

It's unclear why some balance changes were implemented if you don't want players to look at them. What's the reason behind only releasing some of the balance changes without implementing the whole picture at once?

Some changes were ready for implementation, other were still being worked on. That's why we will have phases on the PTS that focus on specific topics.

Balance is what WE are looking at in this phase. You made a bunch of balance changes and you're telling us not to pay attention, but we've played other games and we know how this goes.

You can totally look at the balance changes made right now. But without the context of the other changes coming to the game, it'll like not be very fruitful.
