Well it would be nice if they let us upload characters or use existing ones to legit try to overwhelm it. There is only so much you can do with a brand new character, depending on the length of the PTR.
Allow us to do high speed pindle runs or full baal runs, cow runs, ect at rate, and then you get a realistic test that they even admitted they werent prepared for.
Iâm going to log onto the ptr and if itâs a clean start just start creating and leaving games over and over. Thats the true way to test the stability. Although, assuming we can use this char when the new content drops in the ptr, it might be beneficial to level upâŚ
It wouldnât even matter. The volume or people logging in wonât even cause the server to hiccup. Donât forget, the D2R HAD a PTR that didnât catch any of the problems with the D2R servers. Which is why I take issue with this:
Because doing these separately doesnât encourage anyone to test anything, really. It has to be the same PTR. Itâs reasonable to try ~2-3 days of server stability before putting in the 2.4 changes, but if itâs different PTRs I believe it is largely pointless. Same PTR but staggered does make sense, but it canât be too staggered because no one will want to test and they wonât get a half decent data.
Personally, Iâd just throw it all into the hopper, on a PTR, together at once. That way if the server is gonna catch fire, itâll catch fire, but theyâll get a decent test. Be very stressful for the database guys to fix, though.
i donât know why they removed the pin from this before the ptr/patch but these posts talk about the changes they are doing to the server/db backend
of note is rewriting the server code to work as multiple micro services instead of 1 huge machine that can break at any point and take everything down.
as well as changing how the db handles character saves and how frequently they back up to the global server.
I was hoping to see patch 2.4 with the new multithreaded server/database code on PTR launch.
But hopefully we will get the patch very soon after launch tomorrow
Hopefully we see a massive improvement to the game-list tomorrow, that would be perfect.
a step in the right directions i welcome all change 
We gotta do this right. ŕźź 㤠â_â ༽㤠SUMMON PATCH NOTES ŕźź 㤠â_â ŕź˝ă¤
lol yup, PezRadar says they will be summoned tomorrow.
Nice, give patch notes, canât wait for druid changes.
did the mention the time it comes out? Im so excited 
Normally early afternoon Pacific time. They rarely give times for PTRs. It is âwhen the QA team gets it stable and availableâ. heh. It can also go right back down if things go poorly.
Such is the nature of a test environment.
IT IS NOT 2.4 PTR LOL!!! DO NOT GET EXCITED haha
No. Maybe you should listen to the long interview they gave and then you wouldnât be so baffled as how this is going to work.
Yeah, i hate this dude. Why we cant get info here on official D2R forums. It sucks to being forced to check multiple places to get news. I dont want to honestly being bothered by some twitter.
Arreat summit is for Legacy d2. not for D2R i guess.
From what I heard, the guy that ran Arreat Summit, is no longer at Blizzard as well. I wonder if a new AS is in the works, especially considering we are getting balance changes, new cube formulas, and updated set bonuses.
I dont think we need it, there is many places with info about d2 now.
Itâs nice to have, and I still use it myself since while it is dated looking (and running), everything is organized pretty well.
Look up Sarcasm via google. Have a nice dayâŚ
