Careful now, JWL will contact blizzard and complain on behalf of all twinks if bg’s were to pop. He’s ultra douche like that.

I picked-out some of the most relevant new strings in the PTR code:

Scaling your character:
  • Requires a lower-level party-member.

ERR_LEVEL_LINKING_RESULT_LINKED_S
Your level is now scaling to %s

ERR_LEVEL_LINKING_RESULT_UNLINKED_S
Your level is no longer scaling to %s

ERR_LEVEL_LINKING_RESULT_ERROR_TARGET_NOT_IN_PARTY_S
%s is not in your party

ERR_LEVEL_LINKING_RESULT_ERROR_TARGET_NOT_LOWER_S
%s is not lower level than you

LEVEL_LINKED_NOT_USABLE
Not usable while Party Sync active

Multiple party-members "syncing" their quests:
  • "Your quests will temporarily rewind based on the earliest shared quest state."
  • "Some of your current quests may pause."
  • "Your level and skills will be restricted based on the lowest level party member."
  • "You will be able to accept Replay Quests."
  • "While Party Sync is active, you gain rewards relevant to your true level."
  • Completing certain quests while in "Party Sync" has a chance at "Bonus Rewards".

Leave the Party Sync that's currently in progress. You can request to come back, but the other party members will need to agree to it.

...I'm now curious about how exactly they're defining "Replay Quests" and "Bonus Rewards".

@Sin'dor interesting stuff thanks, I missed those on the wowhead stuff.

Might be a good idea to start a new thread soon specifically for interesting stuff we find from actually testing the ptr, when the realms eventually come up. I’ll be on there for sure. And since you can only log into PTR once (no multibox) will need friends to help test
 
I'd like to help ya
-----------------------------------------------------
upd. Is that true that I need BfA to join PTR?
