RIP longboi :D
Hope that doesn't mean a rush just to deliver on a certain date. Shadowlands still needs a lot of work.
First expansion since I joined where I didn't get into beta, so PTR having the stuff activated for prepatch is a nice compromise.
So now they resort to slapping up pre patch 9.0.1 on the ptr and its completely and utterly broken. You can create a new character, you cannot copy a character, when you select the new starting zone, it either warps you onto a missing boat with a big x on the screen, you cannot move around, effectively standing on water as the ship moves. Nothing else happens. Then when you alt out and attempt to log back into the new character, it does not exist, so you make a new character then it gets stuck on the loading screen only to send you back to the login screen...cmon blizz how can you put something so utterly broken on the ptr so people can test it?Surely blizzard must have known the state it was in before they did put it on ptr? which the question, when are you going to fix this broken mess ? doesn't look very professional imo.edit: it has logged me out of the game completely.
Can't even create a character there lol
yeah its not very professional of them. and i just noticed you can no longer make a new character, which doesnt really matter when there is something seriously broken when you land on a missing boat
Most likely everyone is trying to log into the PTR at the same time and have swamped the servers!
More excited to play the PTR than to keep playing BfA
You can test this when pre-patch launches though. No need to download it now to be honest.
people complaining about a test realm having issues crack me up.Sorting out issues is what test realms are for.FWIW, I can't get a new char to start but my copies went fine.
When do you all think release for the full expansion will be, now that prepatch is out, I think we can start to give better estimates. I breakdown some historical dates about it on my blog about this. I wish I could have written something about the ptr itself, but I can't get in.
I am downloading 19gb and i wonder if that is beta or just prepatch :) maybe i will try beta hehe :)
8th/9th September is the last ID with a cloak upgrade...so I'm pretty sure, we will get Prepatch on the 15th/16th September ;)
Bah - logged on and my level 96 Heart is showing ilvl 150 rather than the 180 it should be - looks like they've nerfed it by 30 ilvls! On another character with an 86 Heart it's showing 140. The cloak is 155, which *is* what you'd expect.Standard blue tradeskill gear is ilvl 165. So bang goes that one - I was hoping the necklace would last well into level 60, rather than be discarded by a crafted / dungeon blue. (Normal dungeons are 157, heroics 170, mythics 183. All raid items are presently 155, clearly not tuned yet.)
So prepatch is about a month away.
do yourself and everyone else a favor and when you get a quest related to mushrooms..READ IT!
I guess we'll get release date on gamescom
Good, at least for modders. Let 'em test their addons for better SL launch haha. Great work they've been doing, keep it up.
Will there be also the customization options?
