The maintenance is complete and the PTS is now back online. The Gold Road Chapter – which includes the Scribing system – and Update 42 is now available to test!
Maintenance for the week of April 15:
• [COMPLETE] ESO Store and Account System for maintenance – April 16, 8:00AM EDT (12:00 UTC) - 6:00PM EDT (22:00 UTC)
PTS off time
Between PTS cycles, I would like to see the development team go back to trying new, weird balancing things for some long term alpha testing. Things like HoT stacking could be removed to see how it works out. Lightning staff splash damage could be reduced to 50% to test DPS results. We have like 3-4 months between cycles and I think it would be useful for the developers to throw a bunch of stuff on the PTS, after everything goes Live, just so we can test community requested ideas.
We did this in the past (

List below the things you would like to see tested and experimented on the PTS
