Test is currently being updated with our current Live build. There are no new patch notes at this time. Everything should now match Live.
Why is the collection system still broken? I've sent several bug reports, feedback comments, and posted about it on the forums. Between this, the housing problems last year, and broken seasonal quests/tasks I'll be canceling my 6 subscriptions (on both live and test) before my next renewal date.
Test will often have data issues as it is the test server. The issue was resolved but some data was lost on test.
