Thread: PTR Testing, PTR 3.2 - Build 10128

Update - Class Q&A Series: Druid (Part 2). Also added PTR Notes update and raid testing schedule at the end of the post.

PTR 3.2 - Build 10128
This is a minor build and most of the changes were in the Patch Notes update posted this morning.

New Halloween Masks!
I joked about that in the original post but I didn't realize that Blizzard would actually add new masks in the next build just to create some confusion. Oh well, new Halloween masks have been added to the game in addition to the Goblins and Worgens masks from the previous build.

This update doesn't change my view on the new races of the expansion (Goblins and Worgens) but I'm sure tons of people will be happy to discuss this addition. I'm not getting naked yet.

PTR Raid and Dungeon Testing (July 21)

On the North American test realms:

Anub’arak - Tuesday Night, July 21, starting at 7pm EDT. Normal and Heroic.

On the European test realms:

Val'kyr – Wednesday Night, July 22, starting at 19:00 CEST. Normal and Heroic.

Some of the tests will have multiple bosses and difficulties available for testing, as noted above.

We’re going to try and have Test Patchwerks (Tank and DPS versions) available in the Argent Coliseum for testing. Instead of the previous tank test patchwerk that increased melee damage over time, the 3.2 tank test patchwerk will just hit VERY hard (as hard as Algalon) all the time to allow for more lengthy sustained tank parses. We're always interested in seeing combat logs and parses for all raid testing on the PTR, but especially test patchwerk logs. These are extremely helpful to our class team.

This schedule could change at a moment's notice due to server, bug, or patch status. I'll try to keep everyone informed as much as possible. The Trial of the Crusader and the bosses to be tested will remain also open a variable length of time. How long they stay open depends upon a host of factors including designer availability, bug status, etc. These bosses are very much a work in progress, and this is a test server.

I wonder if a small PTR update means we are close to patch or does it mean they are running in to problems and need a lot more time.

more then likely the final 3.2 patch is getting near, hint the minor. wouldnt surprise me begining of august always thought end of august but now begining

Nice devestate change

Incoming 25 pages race discussion..
The new masks doesn't look all that well made if you ask me, the quality of the Goblin and Worgen ones are better in my option..

And I reserve the right to ban anyone who tried to be a smart ass in this post as soon as new races are officially announced.

I'm not getting naked yet.

Well played, Blizzard.

hmm
i think they just added those to cover up the 2 new races

Those new masks seem to be low quality compared to the worgen and goblin masks, probably they were just added add some confusion.

Is it me or does that bottom right mask resemble Andre the Giant?

Totally rolling a new toon named Fezzik with the playable ogre race.

i can figure out the viking masks but what is the blue guy?

So no Goblins or Worgens? :'(
