Do you really expect them to give you everything from the expansion except for the class and new act? You are dreaming dude... The whole point of this patch is to build up an incentive for people to buy the expansion. It was obvious that this is how it will be...

Exactly! Because the level is capped at 60 in the PTR, all the level 61+ skills/loot is just a tease. The PTR isn't actually to test the 2.0 loot, or the new Paragon system, that's what the RoS beta testers are doing. This PTR seems like it is only there to offer a glimpse of what players will get in the expansion and 2.0 patch, without actually letting them test it.

Loot 2.0 is in the PTR, also Paragon 2.0, the new difficulties and Adventure Mode. Exactly what was promoted for the pre-expansion patch for months now. What more do you need in a PTR?
no I do not ask for the expanson. But what BZ should deliver is a workable and funvtional patch release and that would require making the loot drop and crafting work. Thre is no need for the new class ; new act ; post lvl60 new skill etc ... but the game need that content to made it work and last. If it would take RoS to get the game actually work ; then all I can confr is BZ been cheating on the D3 release. D3 should by itself work. RoS is there to give us extras.
So all said the patch or PTR just do not give the endgame feature gameplay and not yet letting the lootsystem and related crafting actually work good enouh.
So far this is not much a D3 PTR ; as others had stated. It just hihlight what RoS can do but actually also highlight how the D3 been actually failing and not being f1ixed ; not with this PTR anyway
Since my client still needs 8gb to load I just ask here. Is this current PTR with loot 2.0 or just adjustment to UI and skills/runes? I couldnt find any patch notes for the current PTR patch. Anyone can help out with the changelog?

Not only do they not let you use stuff you get on drops, no that's not good enough, they have to screw up things you already earned (lvl60 crafted amulet).
They won't let you go up to 70.
I suspect the next thing Blizzard will offer will be a PTR version of Diablo 2 so we can test that useless junk as well.
Amulets are confirmed to be bugged and they are working on a fix for that.
I'm sad because queue times are really long at the moment but they are running a "Load Test" until the 15th Dec. Sigh, i wanted to put my paragon points, at least

Make a couple new characters and log out then log back in, this got my account imported.
The only thing I can see which is keeping me playing is the new number font. I'd like to have them in the live version already. But for the rest, it's just BS. We can experience the new map and low denisity mob areas (wors thing ever). No clue what they want to test with this but with the horrible que times for Master(which seems to equal inferno) it's not worth to play the PTR. No experience and no further paragon progression is fucked up aswell. I rather keep playing on live until smth dramatically changes or gets implemented for PTR.
I've played for 4 hours, Found 2 legendaries (Andy visage & Skorn) The Skorn had 61 lvl req and Int. The Andy had STR and no IAS.
Oh yeah, I play a DH. Smart drops my ass.
Smart Drop is only a chance, and trust me you want it that way. On the console it's almost everything, and as a result you can't give anything to your other characters. Let your Barb play with the Andy's.
Played a bit with a new hardcore Monk last night. The leveling/quest flow is improved dramatically by the new drop system and little additions like Nephalem Glory orbs, health potions you don't have to pick up (some of this is from console...but still), usable items from quests and skippable cutscenes.
As a hardcore character I didn't feel like I had to play it super safe early on. By the end of Act 1 (and a little into 2) I was level 20 on Normal difficulty. If that difficulty is meant for new players, then it's probably on point as it felt pretty easy as an experienced player. I would like to try it again on Hard from the start and see how different the difficulty is with a new toon.

I hope they fix the lvl 61 on selfcrafted amulets. Kinda sucks if I loose 20kdps and 5k hp just due to this "bug"

My account is already imported. I'm talking about queue times to create a new game which are 20+min long.
I not sure if they hot fixed the lv 61 thing but I've played for a few hours havn't found any lv 61 items. Only ones are my crafted amulets.
Found a pretty nice helm, "Ghost face" for monk.
But yeah the wait times are unbearable right now. Should be ok after they finish the load testing on sunday.

Best advice ever given.
