So what 4th Alliance race could become a druid?
Are we approaching a Solo Raid WoW Experience?

I hope dreadlord Jaina kills Varian.

Also the LFR ofcourse, but they need to test some more bosses and also on normal mode i think.
Don't know what the new social features are, so mayby those.

A PTR released today on average could be released in time for pre-movie (17th May patch).
Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.

LFR will likely be tested in the actual beta.

Exactly... But I think Beta and PTR will launch the same day in one month from now along with release date announcement. That will line up for a July release which is clearer today after the Alpha patch today. Originally Posted by schwarzkopf

Like I said earlier this week, the end of next week is the line. If PTR doesn't start by end of next week, 7.0 in time for movie isn't going to happen. Originally Posted by schwarzkopf

We'll see what happens.

Doesn't make much sense to test it before then, to be honest. Need the population. Originally Posted by Seramore

LFR doesn't really need separate testing since Flex raiding became the norm - it is no different to Flex apart from the group finder part and lower numbers. Originally Posted by Seramore

Guessing Suramar's right around the bend now that we can hit 110, should be a short road to beta from there.

It would still need tuning and some mechanics may need removal/heavy tuning. I think the biggest reason to test LFR would be for server strain (and whatever else they test with a large nubmer of people) though since there would be a ton of people queueing for LFR in the Beta.

I look forward to seeing the absolute hammering that the beta servers receive this time around.
It's basically just going to be a stress test.

I'd say it's a certainly needed test considering how most expansion launches had some pretty bad problems at some points if I recall.

Curious to see how that will turn out now that people can go for 4 different starting zones. Originally Posted by Seramore

Damn, how many invites went out today? My friend and her uncle were both invited today. Must have been a large wave?

I probably should have explained it differently, don't think I even explained it properly, it's averagely between 8-10 weeks after PTR that the expansion launches, except Cataclysm which was a fairly long process.
