The Public Test Server (PTS) for The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) is a special version of the game where players can test upcoming content, features, and balance changes before they are released on the live servers. Heres what you need to know about the ESO PTS: Purpose of the PTS - Testing New Content: Players can preview upcoming DLCs, chapters, dungeons, and systems. - Bug Reporting: ZeniMax uses player feedback to fix issues before the official release. - Balance Adjustments: Combat, skills, and item sets are often tweaked based on PTS feedback. How to Access the PTS - PC Only: The PTS is only available on PC (via Steam or the ESO Launcher). - Requires a Copy of ESO: You must own the base game on PC. - Separate Download: The PTS is a different client from the live game (large download required). - No Console PTS: Console players do not have access to the PTS. PTS Rewards - No Permanent Rewards: Progress on the PTS does not carry over to the live game. - Occasional Incentives: ZeniMax sometimes offers rewards (e.g., Crowns, exclusive pets) for participating in PTS testing. Current PTS Content (As of 2024) - The PTS usually cycles through upcoming DLCs and major updates. - Recent PTS tests may include: - New zones (e.g., Necrom Chapter in 2023). - Dungeon DLCs (e.g., Scions of Ithelia in 2024). - Class or combat changes (e.g., Arcanist adjustments). - Quality-of-life improvements. How to Participate - Opt-In via ESO Launcher: Select the PTS option in the launcher. - Check Official Forums: ZeniMax posts PTS patch notes and feedback threads. - Report Bugs: Use the in-game /bug command or the official forums. PTS Schedule - Typically opens weeks before a major update. - Runs for 2-4 weeks before the live release. - Follow ESOs official website or social media for announcements. Important Notes - Characters Copied: Your live characters are copied to the PTS (but not vice versa). - Wipes Possible: PTS progress may be reset between phases. - Not for Regular Play: The PTS is unstable and meant for testing only.

Venture into the depths of Azeroth itself in this groundbreaking expansion. Face new threats emerging from the planet's core, explore mysterious underground realms, and uncover secrets that will reshape your understanding of the Warcraft universe forever.
The War Within brings so much fresh content to WoW. The new zones are absolutely stunning and the storyline is engaging. Been playing for 15 years and this expansion reignited my passion for the game.
The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
