Heya guys!!  Short and sweet, they opened testing tonight and I was there.  Barely, lol.  I went to bed last night around midnight.  Woke up for an hour around 5am when my roomie went to work.  Got on PTR, updated my UI and set up all my mods.  Went back to bed before 6am, and then woke up at 6pm.  Still sick…noticed?  On the upside however I immediately checked PTR and low and behold…ULDUAR!!!  YAY!!!!

Now the down side?  Crash city man….crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, BOOM, crash some more, boom, BOOM, crash, CRASHITY CRASH CRASH, and then after a few more BOOMS, we crashed some more.  /sigh  Bugged as hell, with no reliable support, you are on your own.

If you want to get on the PTR and get some testing done, log in during off peak hours and get your toon 100% situated.  Once that is done you have two options.  Either log out at the zone in and hope for good luck when you load in.  Or log out somewhere near the zone in entrance, but far enough from all of the other yahoo’s so that they don’t crash you out instantly.  I will be doing a post about the Hodir fight shortly, but for now some pic loving!!

For the love of God do not leave yourself logged in Dalaran, or when you log in you will pull out your hair during peak hours!!!

Now up till this point you’ve basically been seeing the entrance run in areas of Ulduar.  This was all presumably the area where all of the siege engines will be used for the first boss enocunter.  As of this moment trash mobs and all bosses are disabled except for the one boss that they are currently testing, which is Hodir at this time.  Coming up next, is after you leave the courtyard inside of Ulduar and zone into the Keep itself.

From what I understand this “fake” floor does not exist in the real raid, but was added in to facilitate testing of Hodir.  It made it quite easy to reach him.  The question arises as to what has to be gone through in the real Ulduar then to get past this breach?

Wrong way…

HODIR!!!  BOOYAAA BABY!!!!

So yeah, that’s it for now!!  The scenery is breathtaking guys!!  I love how this place looks.  I hope you enjoyed these screenshots!!
