Burning Crusade Classic: Overlords of Outland Now Live on the PTR

[hulkgor]

Pretty happy with it.

Hoping we're still at least 6-8 weeks from release, so i can (hopefully) be done with Mythic raiding on retail this tier, and be able to blast on TBCC.

desperate rush to release anythign to stop people swapping to FF14. wont work .

People who play Classic and TBC don't really care about FF14. Actually FF14 is very different game and its not for everyone. Specially for people who don't like anime bullshit and playing as little girls... So yeah. Try again.

I hope this tier doesn't come out too soon, but considering all the damage Blizzard is dealing with I wouldn't be surprised if it did.

I must also say I find the whole TBC thing to feel incredibly rushed, from launch til now. Shame, because when completed, the best Blizzard ever had to offer us will be finished.

wow so much content in these notes lul

TBC already had all the minor changes it accumulated throughout its original cycle implemented in its prepatch.

[Venziir]

Odd patch name, since Illidan was the Overlord of Outland... O well!

They should have been in right from the start. At first it was difficult to transition between the 40 and 25 player and players were pissed if the were not in the "A" group, but for weeks now we have to fill our 25 player raids with randoms as so many players already stopped playing BC because there was a lack of max raid size content.

I am not sure how many of them are going to come back when this hits live, and I fear this is the end of our guild that made it quite well through classic.

Imho it was a stupid decision to not have them in right from the start, while it would have diminshed the impact of Karazhan on mains, it would (and will throughout BC) still be a good gearing option for alts.

Arena season 2 this early is a big mistake

[archelos91]

Oof season 2 after like a month? lmao.

[Mendzia]

Apparently you can no longer spit on other ppl on PTR...
Thanks Bobby for these important in-game changes that will help fix your company.

it's almost like the game isn't catered to your personal schedule or something

It's always been like that. PTR is really buggy with random things like that. You also cannot link items in /say.

They are right on the arena season though. I've been doing 5s at 1700+ rating since the 2nd week of the season and I only have two pieces of the arena set. I haven't gotten a full honor set cause of how BGs have had hour+ queues. I am fine with faster seasons, but they need to change the rate of acquisition of gear for it to match.

Well... i really hope it is a bug...

[Frolk]

Seems people riding the dark portalpass mount have been upset with people spitting on em, so Blizzard removed the /spit emote from the PTR, at this point its 50/50 if its intended or not for its removal, as its just for Classic and not retail.

Except we haven't had WotLK Classic yet.

...

You think it caters to yours more? The faster you rush phases, the faster you end up being stuck in P6 w/ nothing to do until they, maybe, release wotlk classic. A 4-5 months phases cycle makes sense, putting the possible wotlk classic release in ~2-2½years from now. If you push phases every 2-3 months, then you're down in 10months-1½year which is too fast a schedule if w/e is coming after won't be ready for another year.

Right back at you mate.
It's not because a bunch of tryharder have no-lifed to clear the content ASAP that everyone else game should be hastened. This is just far too soon.

Its only on the ptr.

TBC has already been out 2 months tomorrow, last PTR test cycle we had for a Classic patch (phase 6) was right around 2 months, that would put p1 at 4 months.

[exsanguinate]

and the top 0.0001% of players clearing the content in week 1 affects you how?

top 0.0001% xD more like 10%

[deenman]

top 0.0001% xD more like 10%

LOL,you think 10% of the wow playerbase clear mythic day 1? no...it literaly is around the 0.001% mark
