The PTR is well underway now and as it is the biggest so far, it also has a pretty giant known issues list!
We have a whole lot of class details wrong, from tooltips to actual functionality. Then there’s plenty of issues with the brand new Party Finder, dungeons and the pit. Interestingly enough, the new Runeword system seems to only have a few problems, with only one big one, as minion kills don’t count properly for rune triggers.
These are just the known issues, so there’s definitely plenty more to find, as that’s precisely the point of a Public Test Realm. So get on in there and find some bugs!
Greetings, Wanderers:
The following issues have been identified by the team, and will be present in the PTR at launch. If you see issues from this list, it will not be necessary to create new topics on these items.
Players should not engage with infernal Hordes at this time, as it will soft lock your client
