- If you've participated in any previous Diablo III PTR, the "Create PTR account" button may not appear. This is because you've already created a PTR account and can therefore skip this step.
- Make sure you're double-clicking on your D3 game license in Account Management and not just highlighting it or just clicking it once.
- In order to access the PTR, you must use the Battle.net desktop app. The previous PTR client will not work and cannot be used to access the Patch 2.0.1 PTR.

So the PTR doesn't have rifts / bounties / adventure mode? QQ D=
patch have adventure! from patch notes:
Adventure mode. Like other events, completing a cursed chest event provides a small gold and experience reward. Chests offer a variety of challenges, including endless monster waves, timed events, and potentially spawning bosses out in the open world! Once the associated event is completed, the chest will be cleansed into a Radiant Chest, ripe for the looting!

Look again. There are 2 sets of patch notes, one for the 2.0 PTR and one for the closed beta of RoS. Only the beta has Adventure mode. The 2.0 PTR (which is what everyone who does not buy the expansion will be playing next year) does not.
@Toby: Thanks for the reports, folks! We're looking into the issue where players cannot see the "Beta: Reaper of Souls" option when in the Battle.net desktop app (and after successfully creating a PTR account).
Well, you can't level past 60 in the PTR, but a lot of the items that drop that are ilvl61+. So right now you can't use a lot of the loot that drops in PTR, and it won't let you equip some crafted amulets since those are now ilvl61 also.
Was bummed at not getting an RoS key, they all stoked with the PTR! Then bummed I can't try adventure mode / bounties / rifts
:<
Yeah. Was gonna level a new character, but without adventure mode, there's no way I'm gonna go through the story 4 times again.
Doesn't difficulty scale to your level now? So you could just run around 1 zone and remake a game if you wanted to level without going through acts and stuff

Fortunately, or unfortunately, I think this is what they had to do to ensure that the expansion has "enough stuff" to justify a price tag. Such is life
PTR is live though, you need to close and start your Battle.net App Client. And if you do not have that, download it under Games & Codes on your Battle.net.
Over the huge PLAY button you should have PTR above the normal servers.
To those who got Closed Beta: Reaper of Souls, it should be there too but names Beta: Reaper of Souls or similar.
Hey all,
Few notes:

Currently, we can't install the PTR
We just have to wait until Lylirra gives another update to the problem!
I'm also pissed because my University only allows 4gigs of download >_< HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO ANYTHING

Question about the paragon 2.0:
Are your current characters retaining their pre 2.0 portraits? Or do they all change to whatever paragon level you're currently at?
Thanks.
Four times?
Ha. Bagstone.

anyone in the PTR actually get to play yet? I've been trying to make a game for about an hour. keeps saying "servers are busy... queuing..."
Sigh..... after all the hype to download the PTR, servers blew up and no games can be created QQ.
I'm kinda sad that we can't play Adventure Mode on Vanilla D3, but as Shaggy said they need to make the price right for the expansion.
