![]() While the DKs are still dominating the top percentiles, they're getting plenty of challenges throughout the rankings so let's take a look. It's time to finally see where the specs are after the first week of 10.1.7! Plenty has changed since we took a preliminary day 1 peek. Additionally, you can also submit your feedback through the in-game Issue Reporter tool. ![]() Usually this takes anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours, but there are no guarantees.Ī: We’ll be posting encounter feedback threads each week prior to the start of the raid tests. Once we’re satisfied that we’ve received that information for a given boss, we’ll be shutting down testing. We will be scaling players’ effective level to 70 for raid testing, and their item level to an appropriate threshold for the encounter(s) being tested.Ī: 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. Q: What character should I use to test the raid?Ī: Whichever you prefer. (The option to teleport into a zone will not be available when the zone is not open for testing.) The final boss of the raid, Fyrakk, will not be available for testing.Ī: In Valdrakken, Orgrimmar, or Stormwind, you may speak to Nexus-Lord Donjon Rade V in order to teleport into the raid zone while it is open for testing. Thank you in advance for testing and providing feedback.Īmirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope: Raid Testing Schedule Keep an eye on the PTR forum for the boss feedback threads and the latest information. There’s the possibility of having 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. The raid testing schedule is very fluid and subject to the realities of a test environment. Blizzard have posted all the dates starting with this week's September 14th all the way through October 13th! Obviously the dates and times are subject to change as this is just the first iteration of the PTR. Here comes the big raid testing schedule for the new 10.2 raid, Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope. The solution would simply be: "Hire more people to lighten the load, pay more to the quality employees you still have, and start making concessions to employee concerns like arbitration, contract workers, eternal crunch time etc." And they seem, at least till very recently, hell bent on pumping up those played time numbers through disgusting grind-centric systems that people just don't want. We get slowed down content that reuses old content to further cut costs and corners, and we get less quality for what is new. That's snowballed over the years and now we're stuck with people who couldn't write a coherent story to save their lives (I'd be very interested to find out just how much input Golden gets vs devs/others in the in game story). ![]() They keep showing older employees out the door in favor of lower paid workers and contract workers, and bred an atmosphere of ugliness that makes people not want to be part of the WoW team. ![]() The thing is, we already have a good idea what the internal issues are that keep things slow and low quality: Activision Blizzard has been trying to cut corners. The likelihood of Patch 9.1.5 hitting live servers in early-to-mid November are high, and the predictions could be accurate.Įverything related to Patch 9.2 are just wild guesses. Note that the article is based on the current cadence, and we might eventually see the updates go live earlier or even later, so take everything with a grain of salt. Patch 9.2 could hit PTR between January and mid-February, according to the player, with a release date slated between March and May 2021. It's also worth noting Blizzard put a placeholder date for Legion Timewalking to the in-game calendar on the PTR that reads November 2. The last few 9.1.5 builds only contain minor updates to the game, which means we can now start speculating about the patch's release date.Īs Tyrsenus points out, Shadowlands is 65 days behind schedule, and public testing averages anywhere between 60-80 days. Based on that information, we're likely to see Patch 9.1.5 hit live servers in early-to-mid November. Patch 9.1.5 has been available for playtesting on the PTR for some time now, and with no release date set, we're speculating when the patch and 9.2 could hit live servers. UPDATE: The release date for patch 9.1.5 has been announced and it's November 2nd in the US and 3rd in the EU! Read up on everything that's coming here and the patch notes here.
