... Is it safe to go on to the pts?

Tornaad

I was planning on going onto the pts yesterday and happily everything was already shut down before I had a chance to get on and test a few things out. I see it back on now, but I still want to make sure it is actually safe. I don't want to lose access to the only game I play. I guess I could go back to Skyrim but I want ESO right now.

I logged into the PTS, but although the patch notes states that "all PTS accounts have access to Gold Road and its features, regardless of having pre-purchased the Chapter, I couldn't access the new map and also couldn't preview the new houses. It kept asking me to upgrade (I haven't bought the expansion yet)

I got that too, I just hit ‘Skip’ and traveled to the West Weald via the cart in Grahtwood.

That didn't work for me. In fact, when I interacted with the cart that said "Travel to Skingrad", the game notified me that it required the Necrom Chapter, which I do own.

But anyway, after I created a new template character, I was able to access the new zone (with my existing characters too).

I think I might stay clear of the PTS for a while. It sounds like there are some potentially dangerous bugs left over. While that sounds innocent enough, I don't want to lose access to ESO.

Came here to ask the same question.

Ashtaris

I was wondering who would be brave enough to step back into the PTS first considering what's happened over the last several hours. Although I would hope some of the QA people at ZOS has probably tested it again, and again, and again before letting anyone back on. I'm sure they don't want a repeat of what happened yesterday.

I uninstalled it and will never install/log in again

Seems safe. I was in Skingrad learning my way around and no incidents or signs of what happened yesterday were present. I do have to say that accounts affected by yesterday are still locked out so I used another account.

Trying it, update in a little bit.

EDIT: Created a char on PTS, no sign of him on Live. I obviously can’t promise something else hasn’t gone horrifically wrong, but that isn’t broken that I can see.

I just tried PTS, sees fine. Created new char, tried existing ones, bought some stuff from crown store. Then swapped to live and all good. Only weird thing I noticed is that I had 33k crowns on PTS, they usually give you 5500. On live I have 6k and nothing changed there when I switched.
