The Elder Scrolls Online v5.2.4 is our final PTS patch before Dragonhold and Update 24 go live on PC/Mac on October 21. This week, we’ve enabled the Witches Festival for additional testing; note that we haven’t made any changes since the last time this event was on the PTS. We’ve made a few additional changes to combat abilities, and have more fixes for some Dragonhold quests. Additionally, we’ve done a character copy for all PC/Mac North American characters. The size of this patch is approximately 285MB. Thanks for all your feedback!
