PTR Development Notes - Build 23623
Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
This week’s PTR build has a couple new additions. The new Broken Shore World Bosses should be in, and 7.2’s crafted Legendary items are available as well (although they’re not fully completed, so expect to run into some issues with them).

We’re reaching the point of development where nearly all of the new content and features in Patch 7.2 are in-game and testable. From here, we’ll be focusing primarily on bugfixes, stability, tuning, and generally tightening everything up. Please continue to report any bugs you encounter and give us any feedback you have!

To help with stability testing, this week we’re organizing a scheduled stress test of the Broken Shore. We’ve made some behind-the-scenes changes to how our servers operate under heavy load, and so we’d like to get as many people as possible testing World Bosses and the Sentinax assault on the Broken Shore this Thursday at 2 pm PST (11pm CET). If you’re able to come help out, please do!

Thanks, and happy testing!

Raid Testing Schedule - February 23-24
Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
On Thursday and Friday, February 23-24, we will be conducting a raid test of four more Tomb of Sargeras Heroic bosses.

Remember that Heroic difficulty scales for any group size between 10 and 30 players, so feel free to assemble and bring a group of any size within that range.

Thursday, February 23

Sisters of the Moon - Heroic Tomb of Sargeras
13:00 PST (16:00 EST, 22:00 CET)

The Desolate Host - Heroic Tomb of Sargeras
14:00 PST (17:00 EST, 23:00 CET)

Friday, February 24

Maiden of Vengeance - Heroic Tomb of Sargeras
13:00 PST (16:00 EST, 22:00 CET)

The Fallen Avatar - Heroic Tomb of Sargeras
14:00 PST (17:00 EST, 23:00 CET)

After testing concludes on Friday, we plan to open Normal Tomb of Sargeras over the weekend, with these same four bosses available on Normal difficulty.

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 bosses 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.

Weapon Size Scaling Adjustments

We adjusted the scaling as little as possible in order to maintain the weapon fantasy the scaling provides (i.e. The human female still has large weapons, but now that those weapons are slightly scaled down her hand can ‘properly’ hold it better, the blood elf female's weapons should feel a bit more impactful now).

Taurens (of both genders) have also had their weapon sizes slightly decreased as well, for similar reasons.

All that being said, I will bump up some of the examples raised in this thread.

    So that's 8/9 bosses that will have been tested on both normal AND heroic after the weekend.

    Seems quite a lot tbh when nighthold only has been out for 4-5 weeks.

    Surely tomb of Sargeras can't release until may-june, yet they're doing so much testing already.

    They've said that because of how their updates are structured, Tomb bosses need to be in 7.2 files. That DOES NOT mean that Tomb is anywhere close to release.

    wonder what the Legion Armanents means, is that the meta mount? or are those new artifact weapon skins the "armanents of the Legion"? Didn't they say that the 7.2 weapons would be for solo challenges or something?

    Guess they haven't seen the Frost DK hidden appearance on female belfs. Those things are massive and look awful sheathed on the side. They look like they clip into each other.

    Why not just make an option to sheath weapons on the back or on the side?

    They already do. You can technically get them from killing rares, opening the world chests, and doing normal dungeons well before hitting 110. It's absurdly rare to get them from those sources, especially when you have no bad luck protection built up, but it has been possible since launch.

    Edit: I'm also pretty sure you can get from world bosses before 110.

    Finally more mounts for me to collect! Legion has starved me on new collectibles, and yes we are getting class mounts, but I was really concerned we would never get any of the new drake or unicorn mounts from reputation or bosses(I know about the pvp ones).
