Blizzard

Greetings everyone,
I wanted to provide some insight into the 6.2.4 patch and hopefully, answer outstanding questions you may have regarding features and areas to test.

In 6.2.4 World of Warcraft will transition to a new Battle.net infrastructure. While this infrastructure change contains a multitude of backend improvements for communication between WoW and Battle.net, there are also a number of changes that will directly affect you. It is our goal to make sure these changes don't negatively impact existing systems, and functionality remains as it was prior to this migration.

To help us with this task, we'd like PTR testers to focus on the following areas:

Social features, including whispers between characters, different Blizzard games, the Battle.net app and other in-game characters.
Realm List functionality.
Authentication, logging in, and security features.
Parental controls.
3rd party add-on functionality.
In-game shop functionality.
Character Boosts.
Faction, Race, and Name changes.

Development for patch 6.2.4 is ongoing so there may be issues during testing regarding things like logging in and selecting realms. Random disconnects from Battle.net may also occur. It is important that things of this nature are reported in the forums to help ensure a resolution before 6.2.4 goes live.

I hope this provides a little more insight into what PTR testers should be on the lookout for in this patch. Thank you all for helping to make World of Warcraft an epic experience time and time again!

Comment by trollibu350The moose mounts look nice and simple, I like it =)Comment by meercatsliking the idea of leatherworking more funComment by neoslayyerAt least we know what to test for.Comment by nhozemphtekhI fee like the only one that's worried about Sylvanas being (hopefully temporary) Warchief, although she is capable of leading, lets not forget what she's done to get her way;

She nearly broke lor'themar's are and threatened to pull her forces from ghostlands if he didn't help her

She went against Garrosh's demand to stop the production of her plague just to attack gilneas

She forced Koltira back into undercity just because of his friendship with Thassarian and made him more "Loyal"

She was willing to raise Lor'themar and his rangers(horde SoO)

She had nathanos ransack a lodge that would later accuse lor'themar of ordering the attack(she pretty much hates him)

sources: In the shadow of the Sun(novel), Worgen starting zone questline, Battle for Andorhal, Siege of Orgrimmar horde side(when you arrive at durotar)

I get that people feel bad for her, but that Is no excuse for her to act the way she has, I used to have sympathy for her but after a while I pretty much became annoyed that the other horde leaders sees what she's doing but refuses to react.
Comment by guardiantitanInteresting to see the leader changes but I'm still not buying Varian's death. He'd have to be decapitated, a hole blasted through his chest, and incinerated for me to believe he's dead. Sylvanas could bring him back as her new lieutenant to replace Nathanos if he just died. Otherwise, he could just fake his death or just be severely injured and is recovering out of sight only to make a comeback later.

It's WoW. Just because something died doesn't mean they're dead. Onyxia, Nefarian, Bolvar, Saurfang Jr., Kael'thas, Magni, Illidan, Archimonde, and Vanessa van Cleef all say hi. Blizzard can easily leave Varian's death vague and bring him back as a "surprise" later on. Or they can just leave him dead.

With the moose, that blanket ON the saddle is a hazard. Saddle leather tends to be rather smooth (especially as the saddle wears) so a blanket would slide right off if it was on top unless it was tied on somehow. That blanket on the moose just sits there. The moose rears up and you'll tumble off the rump onto your rear or even your head, then you have to hope the moose doesn't kick you thus killing you. That is if the moose doesn't do a serpentine move with you on it and cause you to fly off the side instead.

I seriously have to wonder if Blizzard ever considers PRACTICALITY. Blizzard really needs to send their artists and animators on a retreat to actually observe how animals really look, move, and how you ride them. Good artists are really perceptive and will see details others miss. That can make the difference between a good artist and a great one. Blizzard must have some crappy artists/animators if they keep failing at basic things like tack (saddles and bridles) and movement.

And that's just my issue with the saddle. Never mind my issues with the animations which are wrong. Moose don't walk or run like the way Blizzard animates them.Comment by ThreadyIf you ever get the feeling you wanna play again, you still have around 6 months to get the moose :)Comment by VermundVarok Saurfang is Vol'jin's (temporary) replacement? Yeah, Alliance may just get their Black War Bears now while they still can. His cleave will keep Orgrimmar save for the upcoming expansion ;)Comment by RaadunHow come leatherworking mounts are always reskins, engineering has rockets and copters and mechs, adn lw gets, the 5th reskin? we cant make harnesses for strange beasts or something?Comment by helladinrealy they said will be major patch only 2.

then now we reach 6.4 again

but 3 patch moslty is cosmentic or minor.
guess if they do like this lk panda etc need have 3-5 patch number more

meeeh

i hope they work well on 7.0 i hope we wont live server wod like beta test fell .Comment by YuiopyI like how this moose's tail doesn't clip through its butt when it walks like the Archimonde one. I wish they'd fix that.Comment by TwilightNovaAm I the only one that's happy about one specific thing?

SAURFANG IS A FACTION LEADER FOR NOW. Let the cleaving of the Legion commence.Comment by MeggleI am still hoping they take profession restrictions off of mounts, as well as let us use pvp mounts on all toons of the same faction that earned them (vicious mounts, and if they are restricted, arena mounts too). Basically you need the proff to earn/learn the mount but after that all your toons can ride it.Comment by InfamushiumI fee like the only one that's worried about Sylvanas being (hopefully temporary) Warchief, although she is capable of leading, lets not forget what she's done to get her way;
