Patch 8.1.5 PTR Development Notes - Jan. 23

We’re updating the PTR with a new build today, and with it comes several new things to test.

Many new quests are now ready. These include questlines for the Alliance and Horde War Campaigns, Magni’s future, and Hunters’ reunion with Hati.
The new Brawler’s Guild is now open for testing. There’s more to Brawler’s Guild this time around, with a mysterious new questline that’s slightly different for Alliance and Horde, in addition to the challenging fights.

We’re also set to take a look at two new micro-holidays: Wanderer’s Festival and Free T-Shirt Day. Please note that these may not be turned on at all times on the PTR.

Hunters should now see a visual on their target when they slow it with Concussive Shot. Marksmanship Hunters will see an improvement to Explosive Shot: it now explodes at the target’s location after 3 seconds, even if the target dies before the explosion.

Several class teleport spells have been updated to be better at returning you to a spot that is much closer to where you expect them to. The spells updated are Teleport: Moonglade, Zen Pilgrimage, Dreamwalk, and Death Gate.

This week, the PTR also has some updates to the new Allied Races. For Zandalari Trolls, Pterrordax Swoop no longer shares a cooldown with Goblin Glider, and all of the Zandalari embraces have been tuned down significantly. Both new Allied Races now start with riding trained (like other Allied Races), and Shaman should now see their racial totems on their character selection screen.

Thanks again for testing with us.

Oh boy some more exciting changes that means nothing. Meanwhile balance is shit, most talents are shit and azerite traits are shit.

If the game is so horrible, why are you sticking around? That's like rubbing your face in a catbox while complaining about the smell. If it sucks... leave.

So no update to the whole 2 faces Kultiran males have? Sigh.

Graphical adjustments tend to be rather low priority since they can be easily dealt with. Patches tend to work kinda like triage - biggest issues go first.

Personally, I feel the same as them, but I'm still around because I like the people in my guild and this is the only thing we call really liked doing. So we hop on for a few hours a week and shoot the shit while raiding. Despite us all being very disappointed with how this expansion is
