Soul Shards Testing Focus : PTR 2.7.2 | We need your help!

PTR Bug Report
1

Calling all heroes of Sanctuary!

We’re working to ensure that Soul Shards do not transfer over to non-seasonal characters for the official new season. To test this, we’re emulating an instance of a season’s end by turning off Season 25, and allowing players to continue to play within the PTR through the non-seasonal version of the game for a short period of time. This transition time will be the final focal point of testing for PTR 2.7.2.

**Season and PTR Closures timing |

  • Season Closing | 11/18 - -11:00am PST
  • PTR Closing | 11/19 - - 11:00am PST

Testing Request:

  • Test to see if you can transfer over any of the Soul Shards you’ve acquired into your non-seasonal character.
  • If you have some creative ideas on how Soul Shards can be brought over, we’d love for you to explore and try to break this.
  • Shoot us your feedback and confirm if you’ve been able to transfer or not right in this thread!

By design, we’re aiming to make Soul Shards non-transferable and we’re hoping you can help us as the PTR ends. We’ll keep this thread open for any findings and confirmations of whether Soul Shards will transfer or not.

will do. How about a word on when S24 ends before the Thanksgiving break?

It’s not the subject

I’ll be honest I don’t really care anymore. Communication has been lackluster to say the least and I’ll use every opportunity I get. We’re 117 days in season 24, 11 more (which are guaranteed by this point) and it’s going to be the longest season since Season 1.

There are a minimum of 18 days left in the season. It’s tied for 2nd longest with season 3 atm.

  • Firebird’s Finery (6-piece bonus): You gain 2500% 5000% increased damage while Ignite is applied to a target. Hitting an Ignited enemy with a non-channeling fire spell deals Ignite damage multiplied by Combustion stacks. Pets cannot trigger this effect

please fix this!! get rid of the pets part…
no one wants to play a melee class wiz, when you think wiz, you think of range builds.

also really just one change for the necros?! thats all yall could come up with?! mind as well let this toon out of the game. if you arent gnna buff him or do anything else for this class.
waste of money thanks!

Here are my tests for the end of the season:

Stash

  • One Shard Rank 3
  • One shard Rank 0
  • One ember identified
  • One ember non-identified

Hero 1 (lvl70/Adventure)

  • 2 shards Rank 3 equipped
  • 2 shards Rank 3 on the follower
  • Plus the same things as the stash in the inventory

Hero 2 (lvl1/Adventure)

  • No shards
  • 2 shards Rank 3 on the follower
  • Nothing in the inventory

Hero 3 (lvl1/Campaign)

  • Shard Rank 3 on the basic weapon
  • Nothing in the inventory
  • No follower

I took screenshots if it’s necessary and I’ll update this post after the “end”.

Update:
All shards and embers disappeared!

end of saeson 25 on PTR !

Not to sound to cynical, but anyone want to bet this test is also helping them figure out how to safely end the current season?

Okay, maybe socketable items are trickier than other equipment.

R.I.P. Firebird. Dont kill it :slight_smile:

No shards transitioned. Also included:

  • Gems socketed on the follower (active one, inactive ones), aswell as
  • same procedure but deleting the character before the season end to restore this character afterwards in nonseason.

Both didn’t work either. Seems rather safe to me. (You might have to internally test if the rollback function for the account could break this, though I’d assume that this won’t work either.)

Hellforge Embers did transitioned for me, via mail. No shards

17

sadly, deleting a character before the season’s end and then restoring them after doesn’t allow for shards or embers transfer either.
