Hi all, just wanted to let everyone know that due to outstanding bugs with HDR support - which includes it causing some game crashes - we will be removing this functionality from Update 42 launch so we can address these issues. We'll plan to roll this out in the future once it's more stable. Thank you for the feedback!

The Elder Scrolls Online v10.0.4 is the final PTS patch before Gold Road and Update 42 launch on PC/Mac on June 3. In this patch, we’ve focused on bug fixes affecting Scribing and content in West Weald, in addition to some fixes and tweaks for a few item sets and other combat effects. Note that with today’s patch, in order to test proper access, only those who have pre-purchased the Gold Road Chapter will have access to its content; templates are still available for those who do not have access and wish to continue testing. The size of this patch is 708MB. Thanks to everyone who submitted feedback and bug reports during this PTS cycle!

Thanks all, just confirming we've seen your reports today and are looking into things.

The Elder Scrolls Online v10.0.3 includes several adjustments to Scribing including reducing the length of the chase for Scribing (particularly regarding the Script chase for alts), increasing the drop rate of Luminous Ink, and some rebalancing and updates to various Grimoires and Scripts. Also included are several fixes and adjustments for Lucent Citadel and Gold Road content, a few fixes for combat abilities and item sets, and more. The size of this patch is approximately 489MB.

Yes, apologies for the confusion here. This was only supposed to state PC NA players, due to the sudden downtime that was experienced last month during the PTS issue (detailed here: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/8093012/#Comment_8093012)

The Elder Scrolls online v9.3.9 contains a fix for a game freeze and a UI issue on the Russian game client. All PC NA players* will also receive 200 Seals of Endeavor during this maintenance, along with the additional items for any player that previously had their account locked during the PTS issue last month. For more information on this, please see this forum post. The size of this patch is approximately 325MB. [img alt="Fixes & Improvements, Base Game"]... Read more

Hi everyone, We've seen some recent concerns about the length of the chase for Scribing, particularly regarding the Script chase for alts. We’d like to give a little insight into how we approached this process, the changes we’re planning based on your feedback, and more transparency on some of the 'relief valves' we have built into the system. In short, we’re aiming for a system that players can access and make meaningful abilities very early on into the process while providing an engaging longer-term chase. We especially loved the concept that when a player receives a new script they might be encouraged to return to the Scholarium to try out new combinations. We were also trying to be thoughtful of both the initial chase and those who play on multiple characters. This is why we built in safeguards such as only requiring the 'Second Era of Scribing' tutorial quest to be completed to access all of the quest rewards, and provided a quarter of the existing scripts either as part of tho...

Just a heads up, this should be fixed in today's PTS patch.

The Elder Scrolls Online v10.0.2 contains many more fixes for Gold Road content including quests, zone content, and the new trial. We’ve also made a number of fixes for Scribing, including some skills and the questline. We've seen your feedback about script acquisition and are discussing possible adjustments for the future, and will keep you posted on how we intend to go forward. Also this week, we’ve activated the Whitestrake’s Mayhem event for testing, and have made some adjustments to Guild Trader item sale timers. Note that today, April 29, we’ll be testing a number of commands on the backend that may periodically affect some Scribing skills or functionality; this test should be complete by 6pm EDT. All PC EU characters have been copied for testing this week, and the approximate size of today’s patch is 521MB. [img alt="Table of Contents"]... Read more

Will the alt account be able to continue testing Gold Road within the PTS, given that it was given the Necrom Deluxe Collection, that does not include Gold Road, this week, or is it next week when the PTS shifts to requiring the chapter to test the chapter itself?

We won't be restricting Gold Road access to actual pre-purchases until the last week of PTS testing (the week of May 13) so you'll be good to go today.

Just confirming, PTS will be back to EU server tomorrow? ( assuming yes :( we had so little time, with the lockouts and event too. bummer.)

Correct, we are doing the PC EU character copy in today's patch.

Is it safe to use PTS again, or will accounts be blocked again? It's a serious question because I don't want to be banned again.

It's safe in that the issue encountered last week is resolved. We never plan on there being issues like this, but there have been lots of players on the PTS since accounts have been unblocked.

could not proceed into the door to the scholarium when I got to the point in the quest. It says you are unable to travel to this area because it is locked, you can unlock this content by purchasing Gold Road. then it brings me to Purchase Gold Road, which says "purchased" because obviously, I already purchased it. So basically locked out on my main character, I'll have to see about a template.

I tried again with another character and the same thing happened to me. When I clicked on Upgrade, it showed me the Crown store where I had already purchased the Gold Road chapter. We are stuck in a loop here.

Which edition of Gold Road do you have pre-purchased? cc: @Lags @LonePirate since you both ran into this issue too

Thanks for everyone's patience with the sudden downtime; we needed to restore the data from a small number of accounts and have successfully done so. We should be re-opening the PC NA megaserver very soon!

Just wanted to quickly confirm anyone who logged in and didn't see their characters or items - everything is safe and we have the data, and it also didn't affect everyone. We are working on restoring everything now. Thank you again for letting us know so quickly!

We just took PC NA offline so we can properly investigate these reports. We'll keep you all posted on the status.

We had to bring PC NA offline to investigate an issue that surfaced and are working on getting messaging posted.

Everyone, we need to take PC NA offline to investigate an issue that just surfaced. Please stand by for further updates.

PC NA is opening now and all previously locked accounts are now available. Please let us know if you run into any unexpected issues with your accounts, otherwise we will follow up as we approach the next update on May 6.

Hi all, just to give you a quick update, maintenance is going well and we expect to open soon. We'll post here once the servers are open and accounts have been unlocked. Thanks!
