PTR Raid Testing

[TeaLeaf]

I'm going to be heading into the PTR tonight and tomorrow night to look at some of the 5.4 raid bosses.    If anyone wants to join me, feel free to have the PTR client installed and make sure you have your character copied to the PTR realm - mine are copied to both the PVE & PVP realm in case one proves more reliable than the other.

Gear is not an issue as Blizzard scale your gear to suit the encouter they are testing, so any raider can join the PTR raid testing, whatever their gear level.

On Wednesday and Thursday, July 31 and August 1, we will continue testing raid encounters in the Siege of Orgrimmar raid. We're moving on to 10-player Heroic testing at this time and finishing up 10-player Normal, and will then move on to Heroic and then 25-player mode as the PTR cycle progresses.

Each encounter should be available at approximately the listed times below for all Public Test Realms.

Wednesday, July 31

Galakras - 10 Player Normal
10:30 PDT (13:30 EDT, 19:30 CEST)

Garrosh Hellscream - 10 Player Normal
16:00 PDT (19:00 EDT, 01:00 CEST)

Thursday, August 1

Kor'kron Dark Shaman - 10 Player Heroic
13:30 PDT (16:30 EDT, 22:30 CEST)

General Nazgrim - 10 Player Heroic
16:00 PDT (19:00 EDT, 01:00 CEST)

As always, this testing schedule is very fluid and subject to the realities of a beta environment. We might have to change the time of a testing session, change the boss being tested, or cancel a test entirely, due to bugs, server hardware issues, etc. Keep an eye on this forum for the latest information, and thank you in advance for testing and providing feedback.

Important Testing Notes

Q: How do I get into the raid zone?

A: In northeastern Vale of Eternal Blossoms, in the exposed foundations of the Mogu'shan Palace, there is a staircase descending towards an instance portal. That is the entrance to the Siege of Orgrimmar raid.

Q: What gear do I use to test the raid?

A: Whatever gear you have. As we did for Throne of Thunder raid testing, we will be scaling players' gear inside the raid in order to facilitate testing. Gear will be scaled (up or down, as appropriate) for the purposes of testing the encounters, depending on difficulty and their location within the zone.

Superb, my 1 hour wait for a character transfer still has not gone through several days later so I guess I'll not be doing any PTR raid testing on Galakras. :sad:
