Maintenance for the week of September 22:
• NA megaservers for maintenance – September 22, 4:00AM EDT (8:00 UTC) - 10:00AM EDT (14:00 UTC)
• EU megaservers for maintenance – September 22, 8:00 UTC (4:00AM EDT) - 14:00 UTC (10:00AM EDT)
We will be performing maintenance for patch 11.2.1 on the PTS on Monday at 8:00AM EDT (12:00 UTC).

Possibly PTS on July 10th and Livestream on the 7th? What do you expect?

I'm only guessing the dates based on last year but what do you think?
With Q3 being a Quality of Life update, can we expect a full on Livestream this Friday and 6 weeks of PTS?
Or should we expect something more quiet?

An announcement could come soon...

    Might be delayed cause it's a bit different release this time but seems right if nothing have changed.

    Yeah, it's the reason for this post... I started wondering if they'll change the methodic from now on.

    My guess is they'll wait a week because today is a holiday, so they haven't announced anything yet. It's also not a full blown dungeon dlc.

    If they broke up the content release schedule, they may not follow a predictable pattern.

    Oh, that's right! I'm not American and I totally forgot about that today. It makes sense, then, that they won't share any news on this day... but hopefully soon.

    Personally I'm always eager to have a look at next crates' seasons - even if I only use seals and they are a tedious grind.

    Really? Interesting... Chapter release date was on par with previous years, or wasn't it? I don't remember the PTS change. Could be me XD

    This.

    With Q3 solely being about QoL updates and balancing, there is no testing needed for dungeons etc. So they can definitely change their development windows and take more time to figure out stuff. I guess the PTS cycle might even be shorter than usual.

    I expect it to be quit different for Q4 though as the endless dungeon is the first real kind of innovative new content they brought to this game since… I don’t know, battlegrounds.

    Question is that Q3 update will have enough cool things to show on stream? Maybe there will be no stream at all?

    I mean how excited can you get about QoL updates and balance changes? Sure, they’re nice, but there’s nothing flashy about them which you can sell or present to the masses.

    They’ve done lots of QoL changes in the past, so I’m really not expecting any OOMPH kind of surprise here that would make a stream as exciting as for dungeon or zone DLCs.

    I expect a very lengthy forum post detailing all the areas they’ve tackled with that update and then specific threads further detailing the changes. Do we need a stream for that? I don’t know.

    Isn't the all-in-one crafting station supposed to come out during Q3?

    They could have other things like that to show us for the QoL stuff that people might want to see. It sounds like it's not just behind the scenes work or balance changes.

    I agree. Some overdue combat balances would be even better.

    Overland difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including One Tamriel, an overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver & Gold as a "you think you do but you don't" - tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game. I'm bored of dungeons, I'm bored of trials; make a personal difficulty slider for overland. It's not that hard.

    Usualy capter release en of may(20ish) for pc and early june(5ish) for console. So this year pc were released on usual console timeframe. The january reveal was also 2 weeks later likely due to someone wanting it to go in the xbox stream.

    Thank you for the insight! So it's as I remember... Then we'll soon see what's Zos new plan. I hope it won't change - even just bug fixes I think would be better if they would be tested extensively on PTS before going live. No one's happy when the patch go live and something's broken...
