World of Warcraft Dev Tracker

At this time, we’re taking the PTR back offline.

We’ll let you know as soon as we have a timeframe for further testing next week.

Hello.

I’m hijacking the title of this thread to make it as clear as possible that the PTR is offline.

Have a good weekend.

Here are today’s hotfixes:

DECEMBER 17, 2021

Creatures and NPCs

• Baine Bloodhoof can once again be found in Thunder Bluff.

The Feast of Winter Veil

• Fixed an issue that prevented snowballs from being thrown at Baine Bloodhoof.

It’s probably worth acknowledging here–

We are working on providing pre-nerf and post-nerf versions of the Sunwell Plateau raid. We like the concept and intend to return to it after Tier 6.

To clarify–

There weren’t many adjustments made after these raids released in Original Burning Crusade, other than a few very minor tweaks and bug fixes.

Therefore, the versions of the raid encounters we’re testing on the PTR are the only versions we intend to release. We do not intend to make adjustments later.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed an issue in the Reliquary of Souls encounter where the Essence of Suffering will not always properly apply the Aura of Suffering.

Heya!
Here are the hotfixes that went live today:

DECEMBER 16, 2021

Items and Rewards

• Au’Dara in Oribos now sells the Incense of Infinity for 500 gold. Use the Incense at your Forge of Bonds to learn all conduits and increase the item level of all conduits in your collection up to 200. This item is bound to account, and can be purchased once you have obtained Renown 80 on any character. Note: Your character must be level 60 to use the Incense, as the Conduit system is not available until then.

Hello everyone! The PTR has been updated with the following addition:

CLASSES
