What the fuck is the point of releasing season 4 on the PTR, if ur just gonna make it like it was a week ago without the season, with the buff... No one wants the damn buff..... The buff takes the grind out of the game, (even though the grind is like 2 days) it makes it about 2 hours. So thanks for making it no fun again, I appreciate it.
The PTR is not meant to be fun. It's meant for testing. If Blizzard feels they need to test things with the buff on, they can. If you don't want to play with the buff, don't play the PTR.

Not to worry The PTR is not meant to play on it also in the last 2 days. The games still gets terminated after 10 minutes and whatever drop you get will dissapear anyway when the game is off. Happy testing!
I played for over an hour today without any problems.

It just started doing it again in the last 30 mins.
YAY, ANOTHER WHINY PERSON TRYING TO FIND THE MEANING OF LIFE THROUGH PTR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean, come on now man, PTR means Public Test Realm, with an emphasis on TEST!!!!! Imagine how much of a cluster F*** this game would be without all the testing that goes on.....

You realize that problems like this are exactly the reason we have PTRs in the first place, right?
OP: You will never have the right to complain about anything on the PTR. The PTR is intended to provide a better product. It is not intended for you to play around on and have fun. If you aren't interested in testing and breaking the game, then the PTR isn't for you and you should stick to live servers.
The buff circumvents RnG and ensures that every item gets dumped into the realm in spades. It is a necessary part of the process. The failure is part and parcel to the players who seek to burn themselves out with PTR's shiny beams and then complain how they're bored and the drop rates suck when 2.3 goes live.
You all say the PTR is for "testing" and not for having fun, just testing..... And yet, if the games terminate, you cant test, if it rollsback, you cant test, half the items to the new sets dont work anyway, and a lot of things in the cube dont work either.
And on the "having fun" part. Believe it or not, this is a fucking game. Games are supposed to be fun, and I WAS having fun, if I didn't have fun playing diablo, why the fuck would I play it?
What I am getting at, is that a game is supposed to be fun, but with all this nonsense happening and the items not working, what is there to test? Chantodos doesnt work, a lot of builds would like Leorics in the cube, etc.

How is it you know that Chantodos doesn't work?
Ohhh....that's right, you TESTED IT, right? And when they make adjustments to it, you can test it again and give feedback.

Disclaimers won't matter to people that bitch about the PTR. They're just ignorant tools. This thread comes up a dozen times every time they launch a new PTR. "Blah blah blah my special early access server wahh!" is all I hear.
FIrst - LIVE have a lot resources. PTR - LOW RESOURCES,
LIVE - Implemented features tested in PTR +some updates+tested on live few month = more stable version,
PTR - first stage testing thats why some bugs is appearing (connections issues ir really important for game LIFE CYCLE), before realease to LIVE fixiing that problems. IF u really need to understand that process read some books, watch video, or start create own mini game and share with friends for testing purposes and u see whats going on when u updating new content.
And what about us that just wants to test out the new gear and sets? Should we really take the time to grind it out on a PTR? I just want the things so I can try them out, that's what the PTR is all about.
Well no. The PTR is all about testing. The opportunity to see and try the new stuff is simply an incentive so people will use it. A very effective incentive, obviously.
OP your justification is BS. Nobody is telling you not to have fun. But the intent of the PTR is fix issues before the release. They determined they have enough data without the buff. So they don't need you to test leveling. If you missed the leveling and want to test, you will have to wait for the buff to end. Right now they need using the Seasonal items tested.
BTW why are posting feedback to the community rather than Blizzard. If you think something is broken tell them either in the feedback or bug report forum. That is part of the testing process. Complaining to the community doesn't fix the game, testing and posting your test results does.
People complaining about the error that happened on the PTR, guess what, it better happen on the PTR than happen in the live server next season. This is what PTR is for, the Test part doesn't stand only for items.
No people only care for the stupid magic buff and play because its fun having 10 legendaries pop every 2 seconds... when the buff is removed the ques are almost back to normal.. but i dont get it its not like u can find it a real FUrnace 50% and transfer it to the maingame after.. and people play the game and have the games run open nonstop somehow with fake afk button trick or something making it almost impossible for rest of us get in...

This may sound harsh, but it's not important that "you" get in. All that matters is that the PTR servers remain full and active, all the new items fall in absolute abundance, and of course, not terminating and kicking people out. Looks like they're aggressively trying to fix the terminations. They'll reel back the drop rate when they feel a sufficient number of test-required items have fallen.
At that time the PTR tourists can resume their goofing around.
All in all. Its about a month til the patch gonna go live. Maybe sooner. Not longer. Calm your tits and be ready to play when its live instead. That's when it actually matters

PTR is for testing only. Blizz get what they want so if you are not into it, you can skip it and wait until it hit live server.
You realize that problems like this are exactly the reason we have PTRs in the first place, right?

Wise ElderThis thread is a perfect example of how so many people don't approach PTR as intended.

Maybe you guys should reconsider the merits of your precious "Test" realm.
I know a lady who loved testing, and look how well that turned out....
She's Still Alive by the way.
