The PTS is a completely separate environment to the main game that uses a snapshot of your character. The PTS also resets the manhunt because it's a totally new 'start'. Nothing you see or do on the PTS will change your character in the main game, including the reset manhunt.
Also I don't see why you'd be concerned with the manhunt resetting when TU12 goes live because the manhunt season would have ended...
I was under the impression that PTS was meant to copy over the status of your characters from live. Which it did, other than the manhunt and GE status.Originally Posted by OhMaybeATriple Go to original post
Because of previous bugs with the manhunt and seasonal events where people lost progress, or were unable to claim rewards after a patch was applied.Also I don't see why you'd be concerned with the manhunt resetting when TU12 goes live because the manhunt season would have ended...
As OhMaybeATriple stated:
They just took snapshots of ur characters as they were at point of last regular schedule maintenance from tuesday. The environment doesnt care about that and i think its also not needed. Concerning ur observation neither the league nor the global event progress was carried over.
