Temple of Ahn'Qiraj... just a flesh wound right?

Dear community,

In order to provide you the most polished and quality content, we have created a new dedicated realm to test future content without impacting the live realm performance.

Next Sunday (2016/03/27), the second part of Ahn Qiraj content (ie the AQ40) will be released on the PTR at 20:00 server time.

Image

The following need to be reviewed:
* Spells,
* Exploits,
* Behaviours,
* Mechanics,
* Events,
* Creature position,
* Texts (if any).

Every player will have access to the PTR, with an instant level 60 character and access to all the equipment needed to fight, even if you got no arms left. AQ20 will stay available few more days since there is also some remaining work to be done. PTR will have a progressive release of each bosses.

We expect reports from each guild participating and we want these reports to be as comprehensive as possible. On our Bug Tracker, a dedicated tag has been added: "Patch 1.9".

Note that it is mandatory to back your reports with official links and sources to assure that the issue is valid. If the reports are not complete e.g. lacking content or sources, it will be stated as "Invalid" without further notice. Reports will only be accepted on the Bug Tracker - do not bother creating a ticket or a forum thread as it will not be reviewed.

Feel free to share your experience on the PTR with everyone through streams, videos, etc. Do not be afraid to make it public!

Our Twitter feed will be used to give some update status during the fix week, follow us to keep yourself updated!

Best regards,
Nostalrius

Attention to all players:

The AQ40 Test will be run differently than the previous PTR tests. Each day only 1 boss will be available for testing; the boss that is currently available to be tested will be posted in this thread. Additionally, there will be a timer set for each boss before it physically despawns and is no longer available to be tested. It may vary from boss to boss. If any guilds are found trying to circumvent these limitations, they will be removed permanently from the PTR.

The first boss available when the AQ40 PTR is launched (March 27th) will be Prophet Skeram with a despawn timer of 20 minutes.

Will there be a consumables vendor? Can prove difficult to do progression bosses without proper consumables.

Why are there despawn timers in place?

To prevent "progression" raids and learning tactics on PTR.

Will there be enchants available, consumables? Greater nature protection potions? Its hard to test all mechanics of each fight if the raid dies instantly.
