perculia
While the new blood elf models are the highlight of this 6.1 PTR build, there are several other developments we tested when the realms came back up. We snapped some pictures with
S.E.L.F.I.E. Camera
, built the jukebox in game and previewed all the sound tracks, and found a tribute to the 2014 BlizzCon Costume Contest winner,
Grand Empress Pydarter
.

S.E.L.F.I.E. Camera
Photos
We completed
Field Photography
on the 6.1 PTR today and received the basic
S.E.L.F.I.E. Camera
. This is a mission with a 100% chance of success, and it's not rare, so it may be fairly easy to obtain!
When
S.E.L.F.I.E. Camera
is clicked on, it opens a special camera mode. Your character makes faces at the camera, just like an IRL selfie, with their arm extending off the screen.

Garrison Campaign and January 21st Hotfixes, Thisalee Crow and Choluna Clarification
posted
5 days ago
by
perculia
Garrison Campaign Hotfix
A hotfix will be applied in the next scheduled maintenance that aims to fix characters who are "stuck" on Garrison Campaigns
They *are* trying though. I've never even sent a ticket, only posted here on the forums and a GM has logged into my toon several times so far. It isn't that they aren't trying. I think the issue is the bug isn't happening to everyone - so it's hard to track what's causing it(could be more then 1 'trigger' even).
Folks like you, Xiata, were part of the reason why we've been making progress so thank you for letting us take a peek at your character!
Please blizz fix this!
That's exactly what we're doing and I can now report we have a hotfix that's in the pipe and is designed address the issue. It looks like some of you have already picked it up, but for those that have not, hang in there until the next scheduled maintenance when it can be fully applied to the game. Why some have been able to move on and others have not, well, that's above my pay grade but as you can see, we're on it. =)
Appreciate everybody's patience!!
New PTR Build Incoming
Blizzard QA has also tweeted that there is a new PTR build coming today. There has also been some speculation on what class changes to expect in this build:
January 21st hotfixes are here, scroll down for the full list!
Thisalee Crow / Choluna
and
Thisalee Crow / Choluna
Thisalee Crow / Choluna
(Alliance) or
Thisalee Crow / Choluna
(Horde) are now awarded when completing
Primal Fury
for the Garrison campaign.
