    Raid Testing Schedule - April 22-24

    From this Wednesday through Friday, we will continue our Hellfire Citadel raid testing. As is always the case with PTR raid testing, it is quite possible that there will be technical or gameplay issues that disrupt our plans. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

    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. Our general plan is to test every encounter on Heroic difficulty first, and then test sections of the raid on Normal and Raid Finder, alongside targeted Mythic tests.

    Each encounter should be available at approximately the listed times below on all PTR servers.

    Wednesday, April 22
    • Kilrogg Deadeye - Heroic Hellfire Citadel - 13:30 PDT (16:30 EDT, 22:30 CEST)
    • Gorefiend - Heroic Hellfire Citadel - 15:00 PDT (18:00 EDT, 24:00 CEST)

    Thursday, April 23
    • Kormrok - Heroic Hellfire Citadel - 13:30 PDT (16:30 EDT, 22:30 CEST)
    • Shadow-Lord Iskar - Heroic Hellfire Citadel - 15:00 PDT (18:00 EDT, 24:00 CEST)

    Friday, April 24
    • Tyrant Velhari - Heroic Hellfire Citadel - 13:30 PDT (16:30 EDT, 22:30 CEST)
    • Fel Lord Zakuun - Heroic Hellfire Citadel - 15:00 PDT (18:00 EDT, 24:00 CEST)

    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 boss 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.

    Racial Abilities and PvP

An extra trinket and an extra stun are not the same thing, so it's conceivable that there may, at least in theory, be situations in which a player may find the stun more useful than the extra trinket.

    We're not trying to dismiss concerns about racial balance. That's a topic we're constantly discussing, and monitoring feedback, player performance, representation, and several other factors. I don't have any specifics I can share just yet, and I wouldn't expect any major changes to racials in 6.2, but it's definitely an issue that we're working on.

    How can they say there's nothing wrong with racials.
    That is precisely not what I'm saying.

    There are issues with racial balance, and Every Man For Himself in particular. There aren't any major changes in 6.2, but it's high on our priority list for the future.

    At least it wasn't the right hand?
    Can I get a fin over here? Don't leave me hanging...

    Also nice PTR is being updated, and with the raid schedule does it mean a early 6.2 one for next month, or just testing out Hellfire Citadel for the raid.

    edit;
    new patch won't let me access the ptr.
    serves aren't showing up.

    No one cares about the ring being upgraded to 795? Seems a bit crazy, but I'll take it!

    Uggh. Were people so utterly outraged about a fucking title that they complained until it got changed?

    Hell if I was Malfurion I'd tell Tyrande to shut the fuck up often aswell.
