Antorus Raid Testing Schedule: Oct. 11th – 18th

by - 7 years ago

There’s another round of testing happening this week for the upcoming Antorus, the Burning Throne raid in World of Warcraft.

The first two days of testing are focused around four Mythic Difficulty bosses (Antoran High Command, Eonar the Life-Binder, Kin’garoth, and The Coven of Shivarra).

Friday opens up Antoran High Command and Argus the Unmaker for a limited time, and also opens what appears to be the full raid in Normal difficulty from Friday, October 13th through Wednesday, October 18th.

For specific times or additional information check out the full post from Game Designer Skordyn below or on the official forums:

As always, this testing schedule is very fluid and subject to the realities of a PTR environment. We might have to change the time of a testing session, change the bosses being tested, or cancel a test entirely, due to bugs, server hardware issues, etc. Keep an eye on this forum for the latest information, and thank you in advance for testing and providing feedback.

Q: How do I get into the raid zone?

A: In Dalaran, Orgrimmar, or Stormwind, you may speak to Nexus-Lord Donjon Rade Sr. in order to teleport into the raid zone while it is open for testing. (The option to teleport into a zone will not be available when the zone is not open for testing.)

Q: What character should I use to test the raid?

A: Whichever you prefer. We will be scaling players’ effective level to 110 for raid testing, and their item level to an appropriate threshold for the encounter(s) being tested.

Q: How long does testing last?

A: The primary purpose of testing is to give us the information we need to balance the encounters, evaluate how mechanics are playing out in practice, and identify bugs. Once we’re satisfied that we’ve received that information for a given boss, we’ll be shutting down testing. Usually this takes anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours, but there are no guarantees.
