Yes, the PTS is testing legendary perks later today! I've been looking forward to that feature for a long time.

I wonder, since the PTS is now open to all PC players, is the NDA lifted? Does the P finally stand for Public now?

Correct, we're removing the need to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement for the Update 20 PTS.

However, since there will be people who aren't going to play test in the PTS, and some who dislike learning about new content before they can experience it themselves, we're also going to request that PTS players use spoiler tags or inform others of potential spoilers when discussing upcoming content outside of the PTS forum.

We're also asking that the majority of bug reports and feedback for PTS content be shared in that PTS forum. This is because it's much easier to sort and read through everything you all are sharing with us when it's mostly located in one place.

You didn't ask about most of what I wrote, but I'm hoping it will be helpful to others reading this thread too!

u/Valseek - Will you be reopening PTS sign ups, or will you be changing it so all accounts can have access to the PTS?

We're enabling PTS access for everyone who has a PC version of the game through the Bethesda.net launcher.

u/valseek do existing characters transfer to the pts? If not how are we expected to achieve the xp required to test out these legendary perks.

Yes, we copied everyone's characters from the live version of the game over to the PTS a few days ago. So you should have very recent versions of your existing characters available to you in the PTS.

Next week, we're also going to add a pre-made level 250 character to all PTS accounts so that you can dive into the legendary perk system if you don't already have a high level character of your own.

Absolutely silly question, but how long will the PTS be running for approximately?

I don't have an exact date, but typically we've kept the PTS online right up until the weekend before the patch is released.

While I love all this I wanted to know have you guys and gals fixed the Grognaks Axe skin, Stanley, so it actually works again as designed?

The team is actively working on a fix for the Stanley skin for Grognak's Axe, yep!

Really happy vendors will be back soon. Any news on our water wheels turning again or being able to use the RR garage doors we purchased?

Fixes for both are in the works!

When you gonna fix the VATs sneak criticals not applying? Or the getting stuck in terminals and workbenches? Or the awful performance on console?

Hi, we are looking into this, but so far it appears to be a visual issue. We'll address that, and we are looking into other reported issues affecting VATS as well.
