Patch 9.0.5 PTR is Now Available

[Shans-zuljin]

reading between the lines they are about to blow up covenants and legendaries and this is our “ample warning” so we can prepare to have to grind out renown when we switch covs.

[Paeldryth-hyjal (Paeldryth)]

Will anything be done about raid drop rates?

[Mafic-emerald-dream (Mafic)]

BlizZard is listening to players. Lets the angels sing.

[Vhx-black-dragonflight]

Is there a reason we can’t post in the 9.0.5 PTR forum? Or has it just not been turned on yet?

@Kaivax

and then to item level 220 by completing the “Keystone Master” achievement for all +15s in time.

Make it 226

[Ardmccloud-frostmourne]

I take it the rate which gear drops will remain unchanged?

[Dimitree-illidan]

I hope y’all take the BUFF the weaker rather than NERF the stronger approach. Nobody likes having their characters nerfed. Either way, super stoked about the valor point system as it’ll actually allow me to farm AND upgrade the specific items I want from M+ rather than praying to satan that I get it from my vault.

[Worstgore-area-52]

Okay, this is epic

[Humanitydh-area-52]

@Abruek-grobbulus

@Kaivax

and then to item level 220 by completing the “Keystone Master” achievement for all +15s in time.

Make it 226

make it 226 for having all 17s done

[Timbaeslice-frostmourne]

Great now #PullTheRipcord

[Humanitydh-area-52]

na, nerf ret paladins into the ground. nerf RMP into the ground. Nerf boomies into the ground.

I’d rather have mage boomie WW ret MM hunter nerfed into the ground than take a havoc DH buff.

into the ground

[Aabay-stormrage]

Holy crap they did it.

[Kaivax]

@Vhx-black-dragonflight

Are we going to get a preview of these covenant/legendary tuning passes, or do we need to go to the PTR and discover them ourselves?

Along those lines, this first build of the 9.0.5 PTR only includes Covenant ability changes. The build next week (and thereafter) should include Legendary changes.

[Deathriana-whisperwind]

Kyrian is overpowered? For tanks maybe, but for many if not most specs Venthyr is far superior judging by participation numbers.

[Thunderrz-area-52]

Why is Conquest 226 But Valor 220

[Datsmebro-dalaran]

Hopin to see some heritage armors too!

[Necroxis-dalaran (Necroxis)]

We’ve wanted Valor points to return, if only we knew they’d give it to us as a monkey’s paw wish and turn it into another stupid damn grind instead of just points we can use to buy gear.

[Revlol-misha (Revlol)]

When can we expect actual patch notes for the PTR , I see the brief overview in this post, but I think many of us would like to see some specifics listed out

[Chaosgarry-area-52]

Now just make a achievement for all +20s and upgrades to 226, this will give a much greater incentive for people to push keys, similar to how more people pushed for 2100/glad this season for the gear and 233 weapons

[Inviscerate-burning-blade]

@Kaivax

After a rewarding first few weeks, we know that many dungeon-focused players reached a point where the only relevant rewards from the system come from the Great Vault

Weird I haven’t gotten anything useful from the vault in like 6 weeks

@Kaivax

While the Vault should represent a major goal and the source of the best rewards the endgame has to offer, we want to find a way for the loot from the chest at the end of a challenging Mythic Keystone run to feel relevant, without bringing back random upgrade systems such as Warforging

So make it 3 items again for timing a key
