Hoping to get more visibility on this. PTS has been offline going on 3 days. Any updates from the team would be appreciated!

    Just a heads up that next Monday, March 16, we’ll be performing some maintenance on the PTS, which will also require us to lock the server for a bit so we can do some testing. During this time, you may notice a small patch being downloaded. We just want to call out this is not Greymoor or Update 26; we’ll be announcing when the Chapter is coming to the PTS when it gets a bit closer to its publish.

    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.

    Agreed, I do a lot of build testing on PTS too. But we’re only talking a few days here ... not weeks. And the OP seems distressed.

    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.

    The live servers are now the new PTS since we are doing all the bug testing here anyway. ;)

    the OP seems distressed because he'd like to create content for his YT Channel, i assume.
    also, having a playground can be a lot of fun. ask all the grounded kids, they'll tell you. :)

    Well, I will be looking forward to Hack's latest 1 bar build whenever it arrives.
    So they raised the floor and lowered the ceiling. Except the ceiling has spikes in it now and the floor is also lava.
