logged on and was playin... immediately noticed something was different about it... partially the lettering on the items and other such things... started a DH on hardcore because, well, why the hell not... playin through, and i get myself caltrops. i noticed that it put it on the skill bar immediately.... this isn't supposed to happen... not on PC... i ask if anyone has played the console version, i get a response, "yes" so i ask if the console version immediately puts a new skill on your skill bar, they said yes. i get a few more levels, and get vault. i use it. .5 seconds goes by before i flip.... this ain't D3 for PC... this is D3 for console version, modified to be played on the PC.... i really seriously hope that that isn't the case... because i'm trying to play D3... not D3 on a console on a PC
So you're moaning about a quality of life issue (i assume it's not overwriting other skills) and that the PTR had lag issues?
Yep, hes complaining that the first ability you get in each skill slot gets put there ---ONCE---. That and PTR is laggy with an experimental build of a game. It's a BETA TEST guy!!!
I understand its frustrating getting onto the PTR especially when all of us have been waiting so long.
But....just think for a second.
You and 100,000 players are all at once.....trying to login into the PTR....then into a server to play the game.
Now imagine...you and 100,000 players at once...getting into the train (login) easy...okay now lets log into a server....try fitting u and 100k people through a hole on a needle.
Its going to lag, its not going to be perfect, and theres much so much to complain/worry about then...automatically getting skills...
They put the first skill you gain in the 1st slot on the bar when it opens. It doesn't happen again. This is like a noob feature saying "Hey you got a slot, now here is a skill, enjoy". It has nothing to do with the console. As to your vault issue, you lagged, again, nothing to do with console.
Oh, hey, did you know that when ending a sentence you only need a single period?

so i'm the only one that has a .5 pause before using vault? i'd understand if it didn't happen every time, but it does... that's my concern... i don't know... i'm pretty sure they just copied / pasted the console info and tweaked it for PC... that's all i'm sayin... and thank you phoulmouth, for only really taking the fact that i use 3 periods throughout my post from my post "..."
Lag is lag, has nothing to do with console or PC. Look at your latency, its likely quite high. PC is the primary game platform, and you obviously haven't played console version, because its quite dissimilar from what is currently on the PTR. Also consider that the PTR servers are most likely housed in California, chez Blizz.
The PTR servers are being slammed right now, and are not designed to take high load, since they are not live servers. So it is understandable that you are laggy, and it takes 30 minutes to get into a game.
If you do not want the first skill from a skill category placed on your bar when a new active skill slot comes open, there is an option to disable it under "Gameplay" in the options menu. Its a "make the game easier for people who don't know the game" feature. Kinda sounds like you may have been one of the target audience.
So because the PTR happens to share 2 quality-of-life features with the console version, you automatically assume they copy/pasted the console version's codebase? That entire argument is just one big hole. You can't just take code from one version of the game and slap it into another. The graphics code alone would take forever to rewrite, not to mention windowing, input, sound, UI, and mechanics. Also, the delay in Vault is lag. No matter how much money Blizz throws at their server architecture, there's still going to be bottlenecks when hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people are trying to log in and play at the same time.
TL;DR: Don't assume that some of the best programmers in the industry got lazy and copied code because a couple features got carried over between platforms.
i didn't say anything about having problems connecting to the server. so i'm not sure where everyone is coming from with all the talk about servers and betas and all that... for everyone claiming it's lag, it very well could be. i'll bring up my point again that it happens every time i cast it... not every so often. if that were the case, then i'd assume it was lag, and i wouldn't have an issue with it... load up a demon hunter and check, if i'm the only one having the issue, then by all means, keep smearing it in my face.. my latency wasn't much higher than it is on the real servers. who knows, maybe it's a bit glitchy and is intended to run smoothly. if that's what's going on, then thats cool too.. also, xaimx, i've been playing since release, and i changed my settings upon loading up the character, yet it still happened, so no idea where you're coming from... also, i've played through many times and have never had that happen until i loaded up the PTR. also, you're comment about me being one of the target audience was cute. /pat
i played on the PTR twice now. No Vault delay/lag for me. And trust me i know what its like, it's definitely lag, i played with a bad connection in the past and vault was always an issue then.
Unless they do something about the Amulet situation I'm going to be uninstalling this garbage PTR version.
I have several level 60 crafted amulets that myself and my followers use, these have been now bumped up to lvl61 and are unusable in PTR.
I lose huge amounts of health, and offense by having to switch to spare junk amulets I have.
I crafted my amulet after many tries in D3 now only to be ripped off by Blizzard.
Blizzard has got to be one of the most infuriating companies to deal with I have ever seen.

This is a scary reply. Swapping to a junk amulet on PTR should be no big deal. Blizzard isn't ripping you off, if you feel that this is a rip off you should have felt ripped off when they announced the level cap was going up in August.

I'll probably be uninstalling the PTR and Vanilla D3, not buying Reaper of Souls pc and waiting till the PS4 version comes out so I have minimal amount of contact with these idiots at Blizzard.
UPDATE:
done, all uninstalled, Blizzard can keep their great PTR and Vanilla D3, and their ban happy ways, see ya.

what part of publicTESTrealm (PTR) do you not understand?
see ya indeed., self-entitled jerks such as yourself will not be missed.

What's it like with your nose so far up there, have you found anything of value that far in?

Honestly It's not about sucking up to anyone or trying to sugar coat an issue. You're upset over a bug (which was even described as such on the official forums) on an item. you're upset you can't farm as effectively on a TEST realm where your progress doesn't even matter anyway. the point of the PTR is to find things like this so it can go live without these problems.
You're basically saying "I hate this product that isn't even out yet because I don't like how things aren't perfect from day one". I don't think you're going to find much sympathy here with that kind of attitude. If you don't want to play the PTR fine, leave it to those who want to test, but to go overboard like that... Well I guess that's on you, but don't expect us to miss you or ask you to stay.

You must be joking right. You can't equip a single amulet on PTR and you going nuts about Blizzard and unstinstalling D3 and PTR. It's Test realm, not a pre-release to have fun on. You're there to give feedback to help them improve the game for when it's released. Not to run around having fun complaining about bugs and things. Also who cares if you quit D3? You don't need to announce to everyone you're quitting a video game, people do it every day. I've stopped playing many video games in the past, I don't brag about it and whine on forums all day.
Also I have a fix for your amulet problem, PLAY LIVE REALMS. I know, it's amazing, it´s like magic, you can equip your amulet and all items!!

Constructive posts on the official forums is worth its weight in gold.
