When will the PTS be back?

MoonPile · December 2024

@ZOS_Kevin sorry to bother! Some of us in Housing are eagerly awaiting PTS news as all of the winter contest deadlines are coming up.

I only saw the message that it was to be up early this week - https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/8236072/#Comment_8236072

Thank you

the dwemer automaton just said PTS is up.

though what do you need PTS for in a housing contest?

Thanks!
In general, a lot of us test builds on PTS before doing it on live, since it can get expensive. More people are likely to be working on new builds when there are contests on.

Pity only those of you on EU can really test housing builds properly. NA people only get PTS for two weeks per cycle. I know now how to get the houses, and of course we could get all the crown store items, but anything that's limited time crown store items or luxury furnisher or achievement furnishings that we've collected over the years? Out of luck.

I'm not as much into housing as many are, but just wanted to point out that it's been an issue for years, and still is.

My personal issue isn't one any more - I wanted to arrange new craft sets on my NA Guild Island, so when new craft sets were broken and didn't get fixed until the EU copy, it was annoying, but Grand Master Crafting Stations mean I don't have to do that anymore.

I’m also wondering when pts will be back up, have tried several times to login but just keep getting log in errors,

January 13th could see the next update to go on PTS. January 9th we'll have the preview livestream, so... I'm guessing.

Exactly

PTS has now been on the same EU version since ~September. I hope SkaiFaith's guess is correct.

We'll ask the team what is going on here. I was under the impression that PTS was back up, but will check again.

Hi Kevin, it is working fine! Sorry about alert; the OP is old. The conversation just changed because it hasn't switched to the NA copy since early ~Sept, which housers care about.
