Joining Paladins PTS and Contributing to Development

[TheGeneralYT]

Jumped in already. Wow, Ying seems to be a lot of fun! Payload is an option there as well, is that coming back next patch too?

I've only been able to play in the shooting range so far. Waited almost 15 mins queued up for a game.

So having a PTS is fine and all (seriously I am glad that we have this now to test out patches before release in case of major bugs), but where are the patch notes for this PTS?

I just think it sort of defeats the purpose of us testing stuff if we don't even know what is actually changed outside of what was shown on stream, and the patch stream tends to leave out loads of smaller stuff like balance changes.

we need the patch notes to know what to test.

Patch notes are coming soon. And I can find out directory change information for you all from the Platform team.

Can we show any gameplay from the PTS?

It dosen't say where the PTS Client has been installed

I have a problem, When starting Paladins from Steam it will only show the PTS client and not the live....

Will the level, mastery and experience carry over to the new ptr versions and non-ptr/steam version?
Will the ptr update to the new official non-ptr version or will it update to a new PTR version?
How to get out of PTR?( in the case you can't play the official version and only new ptr)

Would really love responses. I want to know if it's worth progessing in the ptr because if not I don't want to work for nothing.

I have a few thoughts I'd like to share on some of the changes I've noticed about the PTS menu.

1. The new Champion screen
I think the previous one (in OB33) looked better, more slick and more professional. In the PTS menu, I don't like how everything is crammed in a small box to the left side of the screen.

2. The new goth Evie skin
It looks fantastic and I'll probably buy it (maybe that'll force me to actually get good with Evie...)

3. The new skin preview images
The ones for Evie barely even look like her at all, so I think it would be better to just revert to her in-game model images. The ones for Cassie are fine though.

4. The option to choose which voice pack we want to use on every character
I think it's great, even though it comes with a sour taste, since now we have to buy them for 50 crystals each... But honestly 50 crystals is an acceptable price, considering we can get that for free if we play every day for 1 week. Apparently you can even buy them with gold too. Still, this is a downgrade from a gameplay perspective, as I liked knowing who sent the VGS by sound alone, and now most people are gonna have the default voice pack.

Paladins PTS is stuck at 4%, I can't even launch the live game from steam, still stuck at 4% even after unistalling and installing again it still shows this

I need serious help from support to answer this if possible
