Wrath PTR?

[baniss]

Will they be doing a PTR for either pre-patch or wrath launch? If they do, when would it be expected? They have a stable wrath server going but also said they had all kinds of issues to work through so I was curious.

I don't think it's as essential this year. Last year PTR was up months early in August. Probably because they adjusted 3.3.5 content to mimic TBC which has the potential for a lot to go wrong. In this case though they're just undoing those changes and matching it back with the values they already know.

The progression also should be less of an issue where they ran three seasons of Wrath recently on Frostmourne so they have that piece already known as well. The pre-patch on the other hand is a new thing and based on what has been said so far I don't think it will go very well. Not necessarily with scripting, I just think incoming players will throw a huge tantrum.
