Public Test Realm Launch

Launch of the Public Test Realm

Greetings, Nomads,

As we approach the end of Season 6 Chapter 1, we will be opening up a new Public Test Realm (PTR) to test out the many changes and fixes implemented for Season 2. With this we’re hoping to find (with your help) any exploits, bugs, and/or crashes that might result in the fixes we’ve made for existing issues corrected in this first chapter. You’ll also find a whole slew of new balance changes and tweaks as well.

PTR will launch today at 2 PM EST and have 10x XP and 5x gathering/harvesting.EU and NA-West servers will be available.Full changelog is below. We'll have more information regarding the release of Chapter 2 soon, but a lot depends on the stability of the PTR. However, the goal is to stay as close to the 8 week drumbeat as possible. If we delay beyond that, it will be days/weeks, not months/years.

How to Join the PTR

To join is pretty straightforward. Right-click on Last Oasis on SteamThen Click on PropertiesAnd finally enter the beta code NABTbnQT9AEUzhK into the "Private Versions" box at the bottom.Additionally, in Discord we have a separate category in discord with feedback channels, a changelog, and the instructions pinned there as well.

We will see you in the wastes!
