Hi everyone,
Tomorrow, March 15 at 11am EDT, we'll be bringing the PTS offline for maintenance and to do a PC/Mac North American character copy. Downtime should be a few hours.
No new patch tomorrow, sorry! Just regular maintenance and a character copy to swap everything from EU to NA.

✭Sorry I have to ask, way want you swap everything from EU to NA?
this clears and resets PTS of all progress since last done. Probably to pave the way for the next items to test or to remove items they no longer want tests or feedback on.0 -

✭Also a few events/public shows are coming up. They probably want to prepare the PTS for playtesting while at the events.
(And also to pave the way for Chapter testing wooo! :P )"If a stick of fish is a fish stick, it will stick like other fish sticks stick"

ZOS_GinaBrunoCommunity ManagerWe received feedback from PC NA players that they'd like to have their characters available on the PTS for testing purposes. Previously, we just kept the EU character copy until the next major PTS testing cycle. Now, we try to swap between the two periodically.4

sirinsidiator✭✭✭✭Still looking forward to the day when we can have EU and NA chars at the same time on PTS.

I actually came here yesterday to request this. Nice suprise1 -

On the contrary. I think this indicates that ZOS have nothing better to do with PTS for the next few weeks other than let PC NA players goof around with copies of their characters.
I expect all the Outfit stations will be surrounded by a crowd of people when the PTS comes back on line. Hope you all have fun dressing up

@ZOS_GinaBruno
Is there a time frame on this NA copy? I do have some crafting data I want to finish up and wonder how long this copy will last. Are you going to give EU a few more shots before next full testing patch?0 -
umagon✭✭✭✭✭I am not sure how you have things setup on the server but I assume account names are unique and the problem is with character names. If it is maybe you could add eu/na to the names as a suffix. Also in another game I have played players could push character copies to the test server. This was limited to one copy per week but it was helpful.0

Wow, really?
I like all my EU friends ... but you've had your character copies since the end of January.
If you can't get all your testing done in nearly two months I don't really know what to say.1 -

Don't want to rain on your parade, @Morgul667, but the next patch may very well be a closed Beta instead of open PTS testing ... if we are to follow the Morrowind precedent from last year.

I was fine with the way it was, everyone even replied that it wouldn't change. I had just spent a day getting all the right characters started and a few templates worth of materials. It was going to take several runs on different character levels to test some new data questions since the patch went live on EU.
I came back to start and my NA were back.

✭✭✭It would be really nice if characters created on PTS persisted between NA/EU switches.
For those of us (of which there are very few I'm sure) who play on console but test on PTS, it's a real pain every time the NA/EU switch happens because I have to recreate all of the template characters I've been testing with.0 -

Weren't the base game updates still testable by the general public last time? Just none of the Morrowind-specific stuff, like Vvardenfell or Battle Grounds?#proud2BAStarObsessedLoony
