A PTR is never late -- nor is it early; it arrives precisely when it means to.

QFT

I never see "QFT" anymore. It occurs to me I used to post it a lot in my tenure as CM.

I killed you in Diablo, you didn't give me any good loot. D:

Believe it or not, I'm always legitimately disappointed when I hear that from people. I strive to provide! I'm a giver!

The patch notes are not up to date. It still mentions Epicurean at 75% rather than 100. That decisioin was reversed.

Class changes section of the patch notes are out-of-sync at the moment. The decision to reverse the change to Epicurean is still in effect. They'll be updated in the coming days with the latest info.

So the 6.0 PTR is up, but it also says I have the WoD Beta, what is what so I don't download the wrong thing? o.O

The prefix on the account license should denote whether it's Beta or PTR.

I know, but I ment like, if I download one, could I just copy those files over to the other folder and play like that? If that makes any sense.

They're different builds (Beta: build 18848, PTR: build 18838), so they're not compatible with each other.

HELP A CONFUSED OLD ORC

im downloading the one that says mists of pandaria ptr, i dont have the WoD beta, but is the mists ptr going to have the new models and new talents and so on, or am i downloading the SoO ptr that was out from wbefore?

PTR: Mists of Pandaria is correct, as the 6.0.2 pre-expansion patch takes place before the Warlords of Draenor expansion.

Is there going to be a consolidated list of "Do this by 6.0/expansion launch or you don't get to have the special thing" thread like there usually is pre-expansion? You have the SoO cutting edge and AotC achievement removal, but you don't have the green fire title being inaccessible if you don't do it by the deadline.

Or was that one of the "do it by the time WoD goes live" things like the heirlooms?

There will be a blog along the lines of things like titles, item drops, etc. that'll no longer be obtainable with 6.0.2 and beyond.

Wait, Ryg, patch notes are mentioning the inventory improvements....are we getting that in 6.0?

-pre-squeeing-

Short answer is yes. Everything you see in the 6.0.2 PTR patch notes will be going into the pre-expansion patch before Warlords of Draenor. Keep in mind that some of the changes are still in-development (like Valor and Justice Point conversion rates TBD) so there will be more things added.

Zorbrix has posted a list of high-impact known issues on the PTR. It should answer most of the PTR related questions floating around the last couple of pages.

09/09/2014 08:16 PMPosted by Zorbrix
High-Impact Known Issues:

  • Build version is version 6.0.2. 18838.
  • The Mac Version of the PTR client is not working quite yet. We hope to have it working in the near future, but I do not have an ETA at this time.
  • Character Copy is currently down on the PTR. Like the WoD Beta, we'll be using the new in-game character copy option. The button is already present but copies are currently disabled.
  • There is currently a known crash that occurs when changing to/from Windowed Mode while in game, or changing the Resolution in-game. We're working to fix that, although it may require a new build.
