EU+US Initial PTR thoughts...

[inoobupro]

Can you follow in bgs or is it disabled?

 

[SPQR]

Do any trinkets or consumables work?

edit: should clarify: I realise nobody has probably done a BG yet, but seen some 19s got skirms to pop.

trinkets are greyed out, consumables still available.

 

[Scialytic]

Just had another thought. They are normalising stats like haste etc into the character templates, but what about weapon speeds for melee. Does top end damage still matter at all?

correctly all of this. So you can use "google translate" or may be someone, who knows russian, will make it for us

Don't know if you have noticed but in WSG if you select EFC, you see his nameplate from distance so basically you can predict with ease the way he exits the base. I find it pretty useful.

What server are we all on?

 

[SPQR]

Invasion stages are not zoned out for low lvls
not only that but it all actually scales to your level.

Kinda huuuuuuge thing.

 

[Predominant]

what are balance druids like? do they still do damage?

 

[icehawk]

Bm hunter actually not focus starved at low level. who would of guested.

That is music to my ears!!
Long live BM Huntards!!!
Anyhow, I do have a quick question for anyone on PTR or Beta. Are lower levels also able to obtain the Large Chests that drop weapons from the invasion and if so, do the weapons also scale?
Man this is soo exciting......
I want the pre-patch NOW!

Yes, the event will be scaled for lower levels. For example for 19s, the bosses would be level 18, end boss 21. You'll get a chest with a piece of gear appropriate for your level! It's not me who figured this out but i did read it in a thread somewhere earlier

Edit: read " legion invasion event" thread it the 10-19s section. Skunkymunky did the event.

They do the same damage if not more.

Hoping more people in our bracket get on the PTR this weekend. 20s or 29s don't really care. Im actually pretty worried about warriors right now. with PH and Heroic Leap at 26 most classes will be hardpressed to escape a warrior now. Coming up right behind them will be combat and assassination rogues. Wizards seem to be having a very tough time all around though which is surprising.

Legion wishlist : 'Battle for Gilneas' has dropped from lvl 25 to 20. Can anyone testing 20's check it 20's can line up for this. Man I would so love Blizz if they did this

Also any screenshots or vids from arena / bg's to share anyone?

Using google translate, I gleaned the following information (numbered from what I understood from @Toksh 's points:

2) Not gearing certain slots drops ilvl and stats, so the PvP template does require that you have gear in all slots.
3) White gear, the pvp trinket (ilvl60), engineering cap, and fishing hooks (trinkets) don't currently boost ilvl/stats. The mist-piercing goggles do.
4) Lower levels aren't scaling i.e. a 20 isn't scaling up to 29, with regards to stats. In the posted screenshot, a 20 had 4K health and a 29 had 7K health.

A later poster found another major discrepancy that I couldn't understand, and (apparently) neither could they:

http://trialand.ru/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=309&p=9708#p9709

How did they get different stats with the same gear?

 

[Snack]

Wow if 20's doesn't scale up it'll be huge... Why would they remove the entire scaling system they've used to many years on making?
