We’ve now opened the Cataclysm Classic: Hour of Twilight PTR.
This patch will include the Dragon Soul raid (and its LFR mode), 3 dungeons (Hour of Twilight, Well of Eternity, and End Time), the legendary dagger set: Fangs of the Father, and a new iteration of the Elemental Rune Dungeons.
We’re planning to have two Dragon Soul raid testing weekends on the PTR:
We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
Why a post about this on 1 am the day before? A bit short notice.
How will LFR work for Oceanic servers? Alliance can’t get rdf to pop as it is.
We need free faction change to horde or free transfers to US west servers
on one hand: cool new stuff
on the other hand: posted at 1:01am east. 1 day notice
wut
Any word on merging servers? Grobbulus is dying a slow death.
Who cares about the short notice for the ptr?
Please tell me this new iteration is more interesting than the current infernos.
What happened with “WoW Cataclysm Classic Devs Say Raid Finder Is Unlikely”
Did you lay off lead software engineer Nora Valletta and principal game designer Kris Zierhut?
At this point you are just playing the good guys, it was the same with RDF, which was also not in your plans but it was added anyways in ICC patch. You even wasted dev time into a Looking For Group tool at wotlk launch which was replaced after all.
This is so disappointing, but that’s wow lately, no plunderstorm cata rewards and inferno protocol is the laziest thing you’ve ever done.
I was saying a year ago that LFR is coming with Dragon Soul.
It was never a doubt in my mind about it.
Boo hoo, turns out removing features of a game that fans of those expansions may have liked isn’t something the people in control are interested in.
Don’t like it? Don’t queue LFR! Don’t like the decision? Unsubscribe under the Account Management menu, you won’t be missed
Alright so is LFR going to use the modern rolling system from retail or will it use the original horrible Cata system where people could need on items they can’t even use and try to trade them?
A schedule like this makes it seem like the patch is intended to launch in the first or second week of February. You are already launching a raid in SOD during that time.
Any plans to STOP clobbering your own content releases so people can actually poke around multiple versions of the game?
probably the original cata system because this is classic. NOT RETAIL.
where is the flex raid option? You cant add lfr and not add flex as it was also part of mop.
hate to break it to you but that horrible rolling system is back on retail.
Are you guys finally going to add the Disenchant button for dungeons?
Thanks Kaivax. Any chance to get more specific hours? What time would the PTR close on Monday would be good to know. Last time during FL PTR, you had some testing during the week which is easier for raiding guilds.
Good choice on LFR, even more so since MoP is coming out.
Flex is in the same situation as LFR was in Cata, it gets added during the final raid of MoP and none of the earlier raids have it as an option.
Not until Siege of Orgrimmar
