    So... First I tried leveling, but the main story quest bugged out and I couldn't accept the next one. Okay, beta is beta, reported and tried making a level 60 character. Joined Night Fae, almost died laughing at the theater quest, used a flight path and then... this happened:



    I'm sharing this one, because it's funny

    PTR is quite laggy right now. Also, there's a lot of people testing their new abilities on target dummies lol

    looks like Anduin and Taelia got close, most likely there will be a comic.

Anduin & Baine are about equal in power, but the way they differ is that Anduin is the descendant of a Titan construct & Baine is not. So I think this has something to do with the Titans, only indirectly.
    No, that's just what you think is the connection. Could be something completely unrelated, like Anduin's Light/Void connection.

    Well, that too. But being a Titanic descendant isn't really a particularly notable feature of Anduin, there'd be better picks for that.

    Is the PTR updated at the same time as a new beta build comes out?

    They're usually in sync in the later stages, yeah. Have been in sync the last few builds.

    Well at some point they realized they don't need to re-download assets across 500 WoW installations you have.

    When I "downloaded" my Shlands Beta - it basically copied 90% of stuff from retail and then added a bit on top of that.

    It's weird for me to judge, because I used to do some modding in another game and I was a horrible perfectionist, so I conditioned myself to treat little things like a character not rotating properly or quest dialogue not disclosing rewards get as bugs, even though most people would just interpret it as lack of polish. There was quite a bit of that. I didn't report most of it, because I don't want them to kick me out for being overzelous (lol), but personally I think leveling could use a polishing pass.

    As for actual bugs - yes, I've seen a couple small ones like some voiceover repeating itself or a clickable object not appearing when it should. And of course the big one where I "didn't meet cryteria" for the main story quest and wasn't able to progress. That said, I didn't really do much, because I got stuck like halfway through the second chapter of Bastion, so I can't really say.

    So what are my overall impressions? Yes, there are a few bugs and personally I think it needs some polish (or I need something for my OCD), but it wasn't bad. What worries me is that the quest I got stucked on supposedly (according to zone chat) was working fine in the previous build, so apparently there's still potential that things will break, which means that yes, leveling still needs testing.

    It became clear that it wasn’t realistic to try to get the audience back to being more hardcore, as it had been in the past. -- Tom Chilton
