World of Warcraft PTR not so peachy, updates on the problem
A lot of players have been complaining about problems on the PTR in World of Warcraft. Among the problems that were pinpointed by the players include the Orc shoulders, Mage Season 2 Armor, voice chat, and password problems.
Blizzard QA Hortus has been giving updates regularly on the WoW Forums, and it looks like patch 2.2.0 is slowly coming into its own. However, the operative word there is slowly. Anyway, here are the updates he gave, and from the look of things, a lot of changes will be happening when the testing phase of this patch is over.
Character Copies: Character copies are currently down, we’re working on it. I don’t have a ETA of when they will be available but I will post if I get updated information.
UPDATE 3: The Copies are backed up, everything is getting queued and they are slowly getting put through.
Orc Shoulders: This issue was fixed for 2.2 but seems to have regressed, it is not my intention to let 2.2 go live with anemic Orcs, so expect this to get fixed.
Mage Season 2 armor: I do not have information about the season 2 armor, I do not know when or if they will be changed, I’ll see if the CMs have any information and ask them to post about it. UPDATE: The armor is fixed on the PTR.
Voice Chat: Yes Voice Chat is planned for 2.2. No it is not available yet. When it is available expect an announcement because we intend to do a lot of testing on it.
Passwords: For those of you who have changed your passwords recently, there may be an upcoming update that will let you use your new passwords. I will post more when I have additional info.
So there you have it, the latest from Blizzard. If you’ve been experiencing any of these problems, rest assured that the programmers already know about it and that a solution should be up soon.
