Raid Testing Schedule - May 28

As is always the case with PTR raid testing, it is quite possible that there will be technical or gameplay issues that disrupt our plans. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

Each encounter should be available at approximately the listed times below on all PTR servers.

Thursday, May 28

Socrethar the Eternal - Mythic Hellfire Citadel
11:30 PDT (14:30 EDT, 20:30 CEST)

Hellfire Assault - Mythic Hellfire Citadel
13:30 PDT (16:30 EDT, 22:30 CEST)

Xhul'horac - Mythic Hellfire Citadel
15:00 PDT (18:00 EDT, 24:00 CEST)

We will also be opening the Halls of Blood Raid Finder wing over the weekend (Hellfire High Council, Kilrogg, and Gorefiend).

As always, this testing schedule is very fluid and subject to the realities of a PTR 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.

    Well, they are letting us get the collectors edition mount. I really don't see a problem with it. Make them super basic.

    Nah, they just switched the mythic achievement reward and the 150,000 crystal rewards. Both mounts are still available, just switched.

    No Frostwolf helmet?
  1. Queen of Hamsters's Avatar
    Oh ffs...another boar badly plastered onto a Direhorn skeleton...-_-

    I am close to exalted with the Goblin faction in Nagrand, yet each time I remember just how uninteresting I find their faction mount to be...a boar...if only they had made an updated model of the Azerothian Boar or Outland boars with that kind of run animation and REAL legs that don't look like twigs!

    Another boar mount

    whoop de fucking doo i swear blizz is just trolling now just to see how many people they can piss off with there shitty ingame rewards.
  1. Caerule's Avatar
    Strange that the Frostwolf Helmet is missing. Maybe they can't make it fit all races yet?

    Still, I am very pleased to see them putting in these sets. It shows they do act on the things fans really want sometimes. It's great to see .
  1. Exerionx's Avatar
    Pretty disappointed the reputation rewards are boars Hate the running animation for them.

    Could be worse, though. At least it's not one of those absolutely dreadful river beast things....
  1. Fritters154's Avatar
    This post is a nice reminder of where Blizz's effort is going: Overwatch. At least the gameplay in it looks interesting.
  1. mmoc64ace7a841's Avatar
    Did they not tweet before that there was no intent to put frostwolf set in game? Of course it's great to have more transmog sets but it feels kinda forced faction reward.
  1. Spirthealer's Avatar
    YAH more followers we can get, hope u don't have every follower maxed out because pointless rewards are pointless.
  1. MrExcelion's Avatar
    Didn't expect another boar mount given how many we have already
  1. Stormykitten's Avatar
    I would absolutely love both boar and riverbeast mounts, if the running animation was at all bearable.
  1. Zephre's Avatar
    Taking a wild guess and saying that new boar mount is another generic copy paste.

    Happy to see the frostwolf armour showing up though, the karabor set looks crap.

    Another ptr with no content good job on not caring about we want.

    Kinda disappointed that the Frostwolf set isnt Cosmetic so everyone can use it.
