Siege of Orgrimmar Raid Playtest 3
- This playtest will start at 10:00 a.m. PDT on Friday, May 22. It will be available through 8:00 a.m. PDT on Monday, May 25.
- PTR vendors have been added and now offer Legendary cloaks and Timeless Coins. These vendors are located near the vendors who offer Heroic Siege Gear in each faction’s appropriate shrine.
- Many glyphs that have been previously unavailable prior to 5.5.4 are now available for testing on the Glyphataur NPC.
- A teleportation NPC has also been added inside the Siege of Orgrimmar raid, and will teleport players to any boss of their choosing.
- While we have relative confidence in the teleportation functionality, teleporting to specific bosses directly in an unintended order may result in undiscovered issues with your raid. Our recommendation is to complete the raid in the original intended order.
- During the PTR test, raids will reset daily, meaning that boss lockouts will reset daily instead of weekly. This is to facilitate attempting some bosses more frequently, if desired.
Raid Notes
- Siegemaster Blackfuse may still crash. It doesn’t happen 100% of the time, but we’re aware of it and working on it.
- We haven’t been able to reproduce steps to cause it internally.
- It would be incredibly valuable for play-testers to generate more crash logs so we can better track down what’s causing it.
- During Spoils of Pandaria, we’ve adjusted the tracking distance to better cover the whole encounter playspace.
- Please let us know if this helps with tracking!
