Ulduar PTR

It's not a transfer, really. It's a "Character Copy".

Anyway to tell if the copy went through other than logging on to see?

you can go to the transfer screen on the WoW site and check the status

ok, hasn't copied over yet, I checked the PvP realm on a lvl 1 pallie alt named Dragonlegend, and didn't find any FPer's on ( did a search by class -80) can't check the PvE though, it's locked.

Wow this is cool I will copy my character this week-end. Sounds complex though as I see from this thread.

It's really not that complex, people are posting out of impatience moreso then complexity of the process.

 

You just log onto your account through worldofwarcraft.com then use the copy character feature to select which character you want copied and where. Then you wait a few days and it'll magically appear on the test realm.

 

You do have to download the test realm client in order to play on the test realm, but that is provided for you in a handy dandy link on the same page.

 

 

Thak you for explainations I will do that.

Badge of Valors (Naxx 25) in Ulduar 10

If you want emblem of valor gear right now, you can either look into groups for Naxxramas 25 or hit Ulduar 10 when that is available as that is likely how it will work. (Source)

 

-Guessing you can get the valor badges in 10 man Ulduar, either new badges or no badges in 25 man Ulduar.

 

Kel'Thuzad nerf in 3.1

There didn't need to be a raid wide threat wipe when Chains of Kel'Thuzad is cast because we no longer charm the main tank. So I removed the threat wipe. (Source)

 

-This was aparently the problems we were having during KT with aggro suddenly changing.

 

 

Hearthstone cooldown changed to 30 minutes

Alright, all -- we're going to make the cooldown on hearthstones 30 minutes when 3.1.0 releases. Enjoy your sweet victory. (Source)

 

Ghetto Hearthing nerfed in 3.1 (Note: Going in an instance and leaving the group to get teleported back to the Inn won't work anymore, it will only teleport you to the nearest graveyard)

We had a discussion with the developers about it this afternoon. Ghetto hearthing really has become a mechanic of sorts for so many players after being unchanged for so long. We don't like that mechanic though because it obviously feels like a bug exploit. They all agreed the best way to move forward on it is just to reduce the cooldown on the hearthstone.

 

I promise you this change did not come as a result of us continually pestering them about the community's reaction. It was something we all discussed and agreed was probably a good decision.

 

I won't sit here and tell you we never cave to anything. That said, most changes we make that players view as us caving on would not be made if we were absolutely against it from a development standpoint. (Source)

 

-I didn't ghetto hearth much, but it was nice to have it when you needed it, atleast they are lowering the CD on Hearthstones with this change.

Little do they realize but I only ghetto hearth when I want to get to the nearest graveyard anyway. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA@!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Anyway, they aren't messing with the 'hey queue me for a BG so I can instantly /afk and be in Dalaran anyway" hearth.

Pretty sure battlegrounds now put you back wherever you were, seeing as they put in the 'queue from anywhere' thing.

How does that affect 'Join as Group" since I will have been queued from Dalaran?
