This buff was reactivated on July 24 at 5:00 p.m. PDT. Happy testing!
- 2000% Bonus Chance to find Legendaries
Archon Set Round-Up
MHM has made a round-up of all information related to the revamped Archon set coming on Patch 2.3. How gearing is likely to go, the set's playstyle and rotations, among other information. Check it out!
TUN OFF THIS F... BUFF
there is a lot of ppl who just want to pplay becase of drop, and then we get que.... FFS
This effects you in no way lol "how dare someone have fun!"
Actually, it directly does affect people trying to test things on the PTR, when they cannot even make a game for 1hr, 2hr, 10hrs, etc. cause everyone is like "LOL Legendaries raining from the sky!"
PTR - Public Test Realm, for testing new changes for a patch, not having a lootfest cause the needs of the PTR require people to loot more items. "Fun" is to be had on the live servers. Testing of new mechanics is for the PTR.
I've yet to have a wait time, even when people talked about the hours it took them to log in... still no wait time.
Blizzard already said, in some many words - 'sorry guys, but when PTR servers are slammed we're getting the data we need'. It sucks, I know (I have to queue up before breakfast to get in by lunch), but it's PTR. They're not really required to provide anything they don't want. 2.3 will be here soon enough, have patience.
The 2000% buff is meant for testing. it's called "TEST" and is not
supposed to be like game play, if you want to have fun and not have
2000% drop rate, PLAY LIVE
Except without the buff you can't reliably test the new mechanics. Making people farm forever trying to get the new sets or specific legendaries for the cube and such would be utterly ridiculous when the server is meant for testing.
