Yet another Timewalking loot post ( As directed by GM)
Opened timewalking Cache before hotfix

Did Blizzard just hotfix an ilvl requirement onto Awakened LFR?
Best way to farm Tusks of Mannoroth?

As the topic name says, do you guys think that Fandrals fight is way to simple and boring, for such an awesome looking beast he is?
I mean, cmon. Scorpion, Cat, Scorpion, Cat, Scorpion and a few pretty flameorbs in the very end doesnt really sound wicked for a guy whos filled with anger.

Yup, It's incredible how the PTR can trick people into thinking that it's the complete fight that we'll see on live.

I'm sure they'll add 5 more different forms, that were somehow not covered by Encounter Journal.

I doubt they would let people test an encounter that wasn't almost complete. Yes there will be "tweaks" between PTR and live, but they won't add new major mechanics. Originally Posted by etsumii

Put the feedback on the official PTR forums instead of here, that way it can actually be useful if it's relevant.

It's incredible how much people will cover their eyes and keep on going fanboy on Blizzard. What's the point of testing a fight if it is not complete, then you would just have to retest it again when it is complete? It's only numbers that get tuned down for PTR, not the actual mechanics.

The problem with the internet is parallel to its greatest achievement: it has given the little man an outlet where he can be heard. Most of the time however, the little man is a little man because he is not worth hearing.

I'm pretty the fight is fully implemented but it's the normal mode so it's ment to be easy.

Yeah, I was incredibly disappointed. I was looking so forward to him, as everyone who rolled a nightelf as their first toon pre-cata and did his quest were. We hated him with a fiery passion, and my guild already gave me permission to dps him down alone at the last 1% of health, even if im heals, just so I can satisfy my hatred of him for the quests. But this... I can only describe this in 4 words:
Blizzard, I am disappoint.FC: 4441-9848-5442 (If you want any gen 1-6 starter, PM me or ask on steam)

Its very possible they will add a few more spells that each form can be cast to make it a bit more interesting but i doubt the overall flow of the fight will vastly change.

It has ac tually happened on more then one ocassion that mechanics has changed, mechanics has been added to fights because of the PTR, the PTR is not actually just there to test if content is too hard or too easy, it's there to test for bugs, to see which mechanics work and which doesn't.

The main strat / abilities could stay the sme but they could add some things like more raid damage, longer lasting image so the tank takes more dmg during cat phase, faster detonation time on the flame orbs etc etc. They can leave the basic mechanics and make it much more nail biting by changing timers / coifficients.
Sure its boring when you got 10 seconds to run out let a debuff drop...but give the same debuff a 3 sec timer that can wipe the raid and watch how "boring" that mechanic is at 10%! Nothing like a little panic to make things that are boring drive you to the edge of your chair going "O nooo plz don't let Y get the debuff now we are soo damn close".Youtube Chan : http://www.youtube.com/user/eqbobyboucher

Isnt that what happened in Al'Akir from PTR to Live servers??? Didnt they PTR it at first with no Squall Line and when it came to Live it had Squall Line?

All I can think of when I see that platform is Deathbringer :/
But OT: The fight isnt done. I didnt even see the mushroom thingies they showed in the preview video. Also the dmg didnt seem right. The raid dmg was really low if you watched the raid bars.

The point of the PTR is to test and file reports so that Blizzard can tune encounters. They can and have added mechanics in the past via this useful method of input. Sadly the majority of people that play on the PTR are simple there to learn the fights so they can take that info to the live servers with very little feedback going to Blizzard. Why do you think this stuff gets on live and is bugged out the ass? Originally Posted by vizzle

Please don't judge the PTR encounters as I have, People are right. It is PTR and I'm sure they will make tweaks to make us cry
