PTR Testing!!

   Posted by: Skeleton Jack    in PTR

Heya guys!!  So we were going to be doing the 20man Naxx 25 this evening to get people their achievements.  Basically everyone is at the point where all we need really is The Immortal (as far as difficulty) to gain Heroic: Glory of the Raider.  So we’re covering the last few bases in the hopes we can manage The Immortal before 3.1 releases to try to get the 310% speed mount.  *crosses fingers*  BUT!!!  PTR testing was re-released, yay!!  Ulduar that is!!

So we get everything worked out and form 2 different 10 mans because apparently there is an issue with the Heroic version of Ulduar atm.  We reform up, get people online, and then we get everyone in the raid.  Woot!!  Fun time!!  Then we begin to notice emotes and “/say” messages from the people in our guild in the *other* raid group…  *blink* *blink* *blink*  WTF Willus!??!

Next thing we know we get a message from Blizzard telling us they are having instance problems.   Duh…  And that Udluar will be deadlocked for 30 minutes so go grab a sandwhich.  *blink*  /looks down at his sammich laying in front of him

/CHECK!!!  Sammich in hand!!  :D

To which I then heal in Vent, “Hey SJ already has a sandwhich!!”  Heh.  I had told them I was grabbing a coke and a sammich earlier while they were working out the raid groups, so it just had me busted up laughing.  Sorry, but that’s my dorky moment for the evening!!  Heh.

So here is the Blue post on PTR Ulduar testing for those of us in the US:

Here’s the current schedule for Ulduar PTR testing this week:

On the North American test realms:

Flame Leviathan (Normal, i.e. 10 Player Mode ONLY) – Tuesday Night, March 3 at 4PM PST (or after the PTR servers come back up) through tomorrow. We want a lot of testing on this, but take note that the Heroic version of this fight should NOT be tested at this time. Players should only form 10 player raids to test this. The Heroic/25 Player version is not properly tuned.
Ignis the Furnace Master – Wednesday night, March 4, starting at 7pm EST/4pm PST.
Hodir - Thursday night, March 5, starting at 7pm EST/4pm PST

So it looks like raiding this week will be delayed, and PTR raid testing will be in!!  Who knows, I may just sit down and take some notes and tell you guys some tidbits from the PTR?!?!  Who’s down?  :)
