Anyone know if the upcoming PTR will be a duplicate instance of the current game environment (i.e. existing characters, gold, items, reknowns, etc) or will we have to start from scratch, like playing a new season where only completed reknowns and Lilith statues carryover?
Edit: suppose we’ll find out more about it tomorrow, but thought I’d ask anyway hehe.
Watch the upcoming campfire and your questions will be answered. If i was guessing it would be an eternal instance with preloaded characters with some “new” gear in the stash.
I doubt they would have any S4 mechanics in the PTR
No one knows how it will be handled yet.
Well it can go 2 ways. The D3 way where you can copy characters from your live account. Or the D2R way where we get premade characters, mule characters and a stash full of items.
I wouldn’t be so shure about that. D3 always tested the seasonal mechanic. And I don’t think the D4 team wants another S3 backlash. But ofc well see, nothing is certain at this point.
The whole point is testing S4 mechanics as well as global changes to eternal realm as well. As per D3 precedents. There’s no point in testing for bugs that isnt seasonal related. Eternal have endless time to react.
Back in my wow days the PTRs all had premade characters with all the gear you needed to get started. I’d imagine they’ll do the same so they don’t have to wait for people to get to 100 to give feedback on a fully built character.
If they go the D3 route we will get the option to copy our “live” characters over to the PTR, but no info on that yet… tomorrow we will get the answer I think.
