Mists of Pandaria Phase 5 Overview
Now Available For Testing
Siege of Orgrimmar Raid Test
10:00 a.m. PST on Friday, May 8 through 8:00 a.m. PST on Monday, May 11.
PTR vendors have been added and now offer Legendary cloaks and Timeless Coins. These vendors are located near the vendors who offer Heroic Siege Gear in each faction’s appropriate shrine.
Many glyphs that have been previously unavailable prior to 5.5.4 are now available for testing on the Glyphataur NPC.
A teleportation NPC has also been added inside the Siege of Orgrimmar raid, and will teleport players to any boss of their choosing.
While we have relative confidence in the teleportation functionality, teleporting to specific bosses directly in an unintended order may result in undiscovered issues with your raid. Our recommendation is to complete the raid in the original intended order.
During the PTR test, raids will reset daily, meaning that boss lockouts will reset daily instead of weekly. This is to facilitate attempting some bosses more frequently, if desired.
Future Testing
The following features are not currently available for testing.
Challenge Mode updates
Proving Grounds
Proving Grounds is available in game, but there are multiple impactful bugs preventing us testing it. For example, testers cannot leave Proving Grounds without hearthing, and the tracking UI and timer don’t update properly.
