Well, locking the server for "a bit" has turned into 3 days. More specific info would be great.

It’s not an “official” PTS testing period, @HackTheMinotaur, so I wouldn’t worry too much about it.
What exactly are you trying to test that you can’t do on Live?

I too was disappointed that I was unable to log into the PTS — it's an invaluable tool for testing out different builds/combinations, especially when deciding whether or not a set is worth taking the time to farm.
And ZOS appeared to be talking a few hours here ... not days — I doubt Hack is distressed, he probably just wants a time frame. Personally, I wouldn't mind having a better idea myself.Taleof2Cities wrote: »Agreed, I do a lot of build testing on PTS too. But we’re only talking a few days here ... not weeks.
