You have missed it unfortunately, ended on Monday.
Rumours have it, it will be released for xb/pc next Tuesday 22nd. Nothing confirmed from massive yet.
Fyi - that armour thing is a discussion currently, not reality. Lol just to be clear.

Now this is good news!!!
https://mobile.twitter.com/Thylander/status/798224343746641920?lang=en
Enemy armour damage is still staying in pvp, as is stagger but the enemy armour damage will not be a major attribute upon release!! It goes back to being a minor
Fantastic move!
Lol how is that good news?
It worked fine in 1.4 Imo with how it rolled so if you combine that, along with the possibility of only native armour it is a pretty flexible stat
Edit: I'm thinking about this backwards.
If its a major then we will always pick armour and not get to utilise ead at all, but if they change it and focus on native armour rolls only, then it would be good to have as a major for more choice.
But for right now, minor ftw.

Yup until armour is sorted out, EAD needs to be a minor. The armour really does need to be re-worked, I am having to roll every major stat I can to armour as well as adding mostly mods with armour to get anywhere near 55% armour mitigation thus missing out on some other good/useful attributes to make my build more unique.

when armour is the only viable major attribute then what happens to build diversity? There is none. People will just spec into armour because what 1.4 did was make everything run and gun instead of letting the game be a cover shooter when it came to pvp.
There is no punishment for having little or no EDR (Exotic Damage Resilience) therefore sticky bomb builds are completely useless.
Again they are forcing a meta and not giving choice to counter threats from other builds because EDR, CHC etc is now pointless in PVP even in PVE.
I remember watching 1.4 PTS streams when HoK (Health on Kill) was decent and the outcome from that was people had builds with HoK or Armour as their major attribute.
So my issue is diversity because there is none for PVP.
That's a good idea but not the solution. Until they realize what the problem is first then they will just implement something that will **** most people of.

As Fredrik said, it doesn't matter whether it's in a minor or major slot it still has an effect. (edit : Wait are we talking about Armour or EAD?)

EAD
I think armour should definitely be removed as an added roll and just focus on native. Would be a good starting point anyway, and then EAD could be a major again.
But then, chd, chc etc would need to be viable again outwith the legacy weapons.
Going to jump on tonight for a few hours farming, cant wait, feel like I have lost a limb lol!!#

Interesting, wonder of its dx12 related as well?
I thought survival ran well but the hunters "status effects" are majorly unoptimised and **** the engine. Me and Radeon both dropped to 20fps with less than 30% memory usage on each card when they appeared - and that is both of us on sli 980tis!!!
Of course, I will be on discord - also not sure of time, but I think I will be home around 7pm.
PTS has been turned off yesterday
But keep it downloaded because they'll keep using it to test further patches and DLCs. It'll just update the PTS client when something new is happening, as opposed to having to download the whole thing (which I'd already done before they released the Survival/1.5 PTS!)
Yup, means they'll be at least semi-broken
Reading the nvidia thread they sound completely broken.

1. So no point in saving 1.4 caches? Darn, collected a hefty bag already.
2. EAD & Armor news is good and needs to be implemented. The build diversity will be good. Looking forward to doing a full HE build with named ones but with a specialised pack. Might take a while getting the items since they won't be for sale.
3. Only doing boss runs now for the money until I have enough and leave until the very last patch lands next year, and hopefully they've learned how to make a game and balance the darn thing right
I'm hoping another studio, with more experience, will make part two
4. The forum software desperately needs upgrading; on my phone typing is 10x more laggy than the pts.

That problem has been in the game since release
Edit - Tested it and it still freexes the main game when switching to fullscreen from windowed. This game has a habit launching in windowed mode for me all the time and it's very annoying.

Snips: Yeah, every other game I load up has me thinking hmm it doesn't look as good ha ha. I'm so spoiled! At night, shoot 1 bullet into concrete and see the round glowing and fading. (I had too much time on my hands one night.)
