The Elder Scrolls Online Dev Tracker

PTS maintenance is ongoing, though we are still planning to open by noon EDT. We'll let you all know if this changes, though. We appreciate you all being patient and know you're anxious to get in!

And one more note added that we accidentally missed:

Updates to Perfected & Non-Perfected Sets
In Update 30, you can now wear perfected and non-perfected sets in combination with each other. Doing so will grant the bonuses associated with the non-perfected set until you wear all 5 pieces of perfected.

This is the official discussion thread for the blog article "5 Adventures to Prepare You for The Elder Scrolls Online: Blackwood"

Excited to dive into the upcoming Blackwood Chapter? Prepare for the next part of the Gates of Oblivion saga with these adventures you can have in ESO right now!

Just to update, PTS will remain offline for maintenance through the evening and we currently expect it to open tomorrow morning (eastern time).

Some classes are completely forgotten (like Nb and stamdk for example) by the dev team and meanwhile Templar gets a huge rework. Why only Templar and nothing else?

Templar needed help for sure, I am glad to see it was given a buff. That doesn't mean NB and Stam DK should be left to die. There was no point in nerfing NB's Dark cloak when as you mentioned, hardly anyone used it anyway.

Maintenance is ongoing and we don't have an ETA for completion at this time, but we'll let you all know when we have a better idea of when everything should finish up. For what it's worth, we're looking at hours and not minutes.

FYI: We just added a missed note in the Combat & Gameplay section -

[list][*] The Battle Spirit passive now also reduces your Health Recovery by 50%.
Developer Comment: [spoiler]Currently, Health Recovery is quite powerful in PvP environments as it bypasses the typical penalty of Battle Spirit with healing, enabling those with high amounts of it to easily recuperate tremendous amounts of damage passively. Rather than nerfing Health Recovery as a whole and making it weaker in PvE where it already struggles due to the need of more reactive healing in those encounters, we've decided to utilize this to ensure it only sees a loss of power where it needs it.

In an effort to reduce the amount of stickies in this forum section, below you'll find the links to all the official feedback threads and bug report threads that the team will be keeping an eye on:

@ZOS_GinaBruno Thanks for the update Gina, can we get an estimate on how long after the natch potes are posted that the pts server will be online please?

It sounds like it's going to be at least a few hours. We'll let you know when we have a better ETA.

Hi everyone,

We ran into an unexpected issue with the ESO Plus Free Trial that was planned to start today. We will reschedule it for a later date. Once we have a new timeframe, we will share the details on the official ESO website and social media channels. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The next time you run into this, could you give us an exact location or NPC name so we can check on our end? Thanks in advance!

We're still in the process of updating all the messaging for PC EU being open, but the server is indeed open. PC NA is still under maintenance, though.

Hang tight, everyone. We got ahead of ourselves a bit and you should be able to log into PC EU in just a minute.

The Elder Scrolls Online v6.3.8 fixes the issue with players on your friends or guild list displaying their last logged in date of 1970, a few fixes for Gamepad Mode and some base game quests, resource nodes not appearing correctly, and more. This patch also fixes the issue where some NPCs were invisible or not respawning in some zones. The size of this patch is approximately 91.6MB.

Hey gang!

Today, we’d like to share some new features and updates coming your way in Update 30! In this Update, we’re focusing on some concerns regarding item set procs and continuing our Champion System improvements, as well as several fixes for server performance and general bugs/balance. You’ll be able to read the full details in next week’s PTS patch notes.


Proc Sets

The growing concerns over the “proc set meta” for the past few updates has not fallen on deaf ears. We understand the frustration of feeling required to run these types of sets and fighting against them in PVP. These sets are seen as “free” sources of damage, healing and survivability, all of which come with minimal tradeoffs. We want these proc choices to mean something, rather than just the de facto method of building a character without paying for it in some way.

With that stated, in Update 30 we are making all item sets that deal damage or heal scale with ... Read more

Hey everyone, we wanted to let you know the ability to change the title music unfortunately got moved out of Update 30 and will instead be in a future update. The ability bar timers are still planned for Update 30, though, which you'll be able to check out on the PTS next Monday.
