Raid Testing Schedule - April 16th

On Friday, April 16th, we will be starting our raid tests in the Sanctum of Domination.

Friday, April 16th
The Tarragrue - Heroic Sanctum of Domination

14:00 PDT (17:00 EDT, 23:00 CEST)

Guardian of the First Ones - Heroic Sanctum of Domination

15:00 PDT (18:00 EDT, 00:00 CEST)

As always, this testing schedule is very fluid and subject to the realities of a test environment. We might have to change the time of a testing session, change the bosses 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.

Q: How do I get into the raid zone?
A: In Oribos, Dalaran, Orgrimmar, or Stormwind, you may speak to Nexus-Lord Donjon Rade IV in order to teleport into the raid zone while it is open for testing. (The option to teleport into a zone will not be available when the zone is not open for testing.)

Q: What character should I use to test the raid?
A: Whichever you prefer. We will be scaling players’ effective level to 60 for raid testing, and their item level to an appropriate threshold for the encounter(s) being tested.

Q: How long does testing last?
A: The primary purpose of testing is to give us the information we need to balance the encounters, evaluate how mechanics are playing out in practice, and identify bugs. Once we’re satisfied that we’ve received that information for a given boss, we’ll be shutting down testing. Usually this takes anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours, but there are no guarantees.

We appreciate you taking the time to test our content and look forward to reading your feedback.

Very interesting post. Can't wait to quest in JasonTest Kalimdor!

[Darkeon]

Fuck, I was joking when I previously said that Blizzard would counter FF14's content patch by releasing their own content on PTR.

Holy shit. Here's hoping Blizzard is able to get their shit together at some point in the future lol

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

Blizzard trolling us. Primus has two different hands, 1 with 4 fingers and the other with 5.

[McNeil]

Why do they need to release this alongside the Kara raid testing at the same time?

[Super Dickmann]

Ner'zhul is up. Why do Blizzard hate him so much?



Screwed out of being the Lich King in a book off-screen. Having his role rewritten to be a gimp for the Shadow Council in Chronicle. Killed in the first patch of WoD as a one-note dungeon boss. Killed again in a side scenario. Now having his achievements given to the Jailer and being turned into a weird pacman ghost with an axe-staff.

[Progenitor Aquarius]

Holy crap. Sylvanas soul is broken. She doesn't have legs. My godness, Primus doesn't look like Runecarver at all. I'm so scared! What is going on!

She's just in Banshee form, we've seen it before in the BfA cinematic.

[Progenitor Aquarius]

Yea but she.. doesn't have legs! She looks like a shadowy hopeless vessel! Did they mention Stormheim? Is Odyn in danger?!

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

These are some VERY HD models. Did the engine get updated in 9.1???

My thoughts exactly! I still wish some sort redemption/peace for him ... maybe Draka can talk sense into what is left of him.
