While I see no reason for such behavior when you had the pleasure of working with the world-renowned Johnny Awesome, I did feel a twang of... what was it... pity? Being as such, I felt it appropriate to send you this tip as a token of my appreciation for your efforts. Do people still tip?

I cannot rely on you forever - the mail must be able to operate without your aid. I must ask you to help me orchestrate once more to guide more into these stamped halls to give me aid.

We Need You on the 7.3.5 Public Test Realm!

We need your help! Create a new character on the Public Test Realm (PTR), level as far as you can, and send us your detailed feedback. By leveling through the content and sharing your thoughts with us, you will have a direct impact on improving the new dynamic leveling experience.

We Need You!
  • What You Want: To help make World of Warcraft a satisfying and seamless world to level through.
  • What We Want: Your feedback—the good, the bad, and the ugly—so we can iron out the wrinkles.
  • How We Do This: Create a new character on the PTR, level up as far as you can, and send us your considered, original opinion on the overhauled leveling experience.

The Big Ask
As you may have heard, we are significantly overhauling the leveling experience in World of Warcraft to make life more interesting for all the lower-level characters out there. Leveling zones from 1–100 will dynamically scale to your character’s level for a certain range, so you can spend longer in the places you love and experience more of your favorite quest lines and stories as you travel through Azeroth.

This is where you come in. On the 7.3.5 PTR, we want you to level a character, then give us your detailed, original feedback on the changes: zones, dungeons, quests, and the entire end-to-end experience in the zones you love and at the pace you enjoy. Share your thoughts on the experience, warts and all, and give us valuable insight that will change the game for the better.

Just the Facts
  • You will need to access the PTR build for Patch 7.3.5 (see below on how to do just that).
  • Level up over the course of the 7.3.5 PTR and provide detailed feedback on the experience. Examples could include:
    • Specific zones you played, and what level you were when arriving and moving on
    • Pick a leveling range to tell us about
    • Tell us which zones you chose and why, and what dungeons you completed
    • Your thoughts on the difficulty, pacing (including any specific quests or areas you had trouble with), and rewards
    • You can also let us know about any bugs you find: big, small, and downright squishy
  • We would also like to know:
    • Class
    • Specialization
    • The bug was annoying” is nowhere near as helpful as “When I arrived in Hellfire Peninsula at level 58 the quests were grayed out.”
    • (In other words: the more detail you give us, the better you will help us make the game!)

How to Create a PTR Account:
  • Log in to Blizzard Account Management.
  • Select your World of Warcraft account.
  • Select Additional Services, then click Public Test Realm.
  • Click History/Status to create your PTR account.

Planning Ahead
Be sure to log in to your Blizzard account and select the Public Test Realm (PTR) in Game Accounts.

  • Download the PTR client from within the Blizzard Battle.net desktop app.
  • Log in to any of the available Test Servers.
  • Create a new level 1 character.

Forgive Us Our Maintenance
Champions take note! We plan to leave the PTR up throughout the holidays, but as with any test phase there may be short periods of downtime to apply changes, perform maintenance, and other trickier things that pop up. If the PTR isn’t available for any length of time, please know we appreciate your patience, good humor, and participation. We are working hard behind the scenes to keep everything on an even keel.

Dynamic Leveling Feedback: 7.3.5 PTR forum


Thank you, we truly appreciate the feedback you give and look forward to all you have to share with us. See you in Azeroth!

    Yes, I can see I need to explain this in simpler terms then.
    When you "preorder" an expansion (That is - buying the expansion before its actual release), you may be rewarded with some features of said expansion. In preordering Legion, you were able to make a Demon Hunter before the actual release. People now predict/wish same feature applied to the allied races, in that when you preorder the expansion - you will be able to play the allied races.

    I'm confused... Are there two BGs coming out? I though it was only 1.

    That new skybox - does that mean the Vindicaar's returned to Azeroth orbit? If so, that makes quite a bit of sense being the Lightforged's "order hall" of sorts

    Personally, after forever *wink* of Legion (since HFC) I am in love with any colour aesthetic in WoW that shifts away from green!

    Seriously though, the red (I thought) was a nice design and made me feel like the world was wounded... now less so, which I find disappointing -and more so because it's probably the the result of some feedback/focus group (red blood vs. green blood) etc. I doubt anyone in the Art department preferred the wound as Yellow vs Red.

    8.0 is going to come out ~5-6 weeks before BfA comes out. It'll be fine if they add them in there for pre-orders, and I think they will actually.

    Is there a cap on scaling zones, or could I do like 95 - 100 in TBC?

    That would basically equal to even less subs and less preorders though. I hope they aren't stupid and do release it only in the prepatch (esp. since they're now going to implement everything, so it's not a development issue). Releasing them in 7.3.5 would even fit with the updated lvling scaling.

    There are caps. Old world at 60, TBC and Wrath 60-80, Cata and mop 80-90 wod 90-100. Within those groups eacb zone has a different minimum, but the same cap.

Not to mention, the rewards for their racial armor are given at level 110.
    Actually I do agree with @manboiler , I'd prefer allied races to be released before BfA launch.
    Pre-Order bonuses doesn't make much sense, one would require way more time to prepare an allied race to new content than the classic pre-xpac events.

    To unlock Allied Races, one is supposed to fulfill some requirements, such as reputation capping and story chain quest completion.
    This way, newbies who manages to get interested in new races (thus more interested in gameplay as IMO race selection comes before class, as one plays usually mainly to reflect himself within the game) have their time to prepare theirselves before the new content goes live.

    I mean, it's a fair deal imo.
    If you think that there is a total of 6 new allied races on BfA release, giving this much time not only will keep users busy with something fresher, but also allow everybody to have what they want and need for when the real xpac core is gonna be released.

    you mean I can lvl a character on PTR and then level it again on Live when 7.3.5 comes out?! Count me in, I really have nothing better to do. /sarcasm

    I am not looking forward to the scaling update. An increase of experience needed for leveling by 60% is turning an already tedious experience an even worse nightmare. As a DPS, this is hell. With full heirlooms, it took me 5 hours to go from level 68 to 80. The experience given by quests is not enough for it to be any quicker. Increasing that by 60% will make leveling feel like pulling fucking teeth. I will never level in this game again without Recruit-A-Friend again. The increase in experience needed is 100% a way to push people to buy boosts and I fucking hate it.

    At blizzcon at least, they said there would be some restrictions. TBC and Wrath are 60-80, Cata/MOP are 80-90, and certain old world zone would have restrictions as well (they specifically called out not being able to do Westfall at 55)
