8.1.5 PTR Development Notes - January 23rd - Zandalari Racial Tuning, Hati, Brawler's Guild

Blizzard

We’re updating the PTR with a new build today, and with it comes several new things to test.

Many new quests are now ready. These include questlines for the Alliance and Horde War Campaigns, Magni’s future, and Hunters’ reunion with Hati.

The new Brawler’s Guild is now open for testing. There’s more to Brawler’s Guild this time around, with a mysterious new questline that’s slightly different for Alliance and Horde, in addition to the challenging fights.

We’re also set to take a look at two new micro-holidays: Wanderer’s Festival and Free T-Shirt Day. Please note that these may not be turned on at all times on the PTR.

Hunters should now see a visual on their target when they slow it with Concussive Shot. Marksmanship Hunters will see an improvement to Explosive Shot: it now explodes at the target’s location after 3 seconds, even if the target dies before the explosion.

Several class teleport spells have been updated to be better at returning you to a spot that is much closer to where you expect them to. The spells updated are Teleport: Moonglade, Zen Pilgrimage, Dreamwalk, and Death Gate.

This week, the PTR also has some updates to the new Allied Races. For Zandalari Trolls, Pterrordax Swoop no longer shares a cooldown with Goblin Glider, and all of the Zandalari embraces have been tuned down significantly. Both new Allied Races now start with riding trained (like other Allied Races), and Shaman should now see their racial totems on their character selection screen.

Thanks again for testing with us.

Maybe after a few months and thousands of dollars spent by players they will nerf it to the ground.

So hyped guys!Comment by kodora1316It begins, next update the Zandalari will finally release! So hyped guys!Comment by Fenril7OP horde racial for Zanalari, sound about right. You screwed over the alliance all these years, why change now!Comment by StormwanderI don't give a rat's a$$ about racials, I just want to play the race that I like and that matches my idea of the character. Playing some race just because it has the best racials or because it has the highest dps as X spec is beyond me. Why play a character and put that much time and energy into something that you don't even care what it looks like? That's just me, I do realize some people don't care and will number crunch until the end of time. It's my opinion and I'm very excited to finally have Zandalari, no matter what their racial is.Comment by psyOPsQuestline for Hati? :OComment by XaleaThey arent going to nerf all of the racials too much.. they still want that sweet dollar for all the race changes.
