Public test updates with and is used to test each patch and is there to check for bugs only, TST is used rarely to test major new mechanics such as submarines or the aircraft carrier rework and generates actual feedback about gameplay that results in changes to the mechanics.Īlso note that although TST appears to require a fresh installation, at least with this round of testing.

If half of them bought premium every month, thats 75k a month, 900k a year, gone. Trying to pull from memory but if the averages were at 40k players. 'TST' and 'public test' are not the same thing, or at least WG are likely using the same hardware for both, but within the game client they are separate game instances so for shorthand I refer to them as separate servers, and to all intents and purposes they are. I think all total our gains reduced it if they hold to a 30-40 loss of players on all servers combined on average. If you see bugs, you should report them in the appropriate forum. You play with the upcoming new ships and changes. Also, ships can be easily researched due to lowered xp prices. You do missions there, get some rewards in the real game. New updates are downloaded to that client (another game instance) first, and can be played with a connected account. It is in fact PTS, meaning Public Test Server.
