Naxxramas PTR
- Thread starter Chero
- Start date
the command to change your weapon/defense skill needs to be either disabled or changed. as some ppl messed up my own skills and their own - intentional or by accident (targetting others while typing the command) - its allready a huge mess right now.
can't expect everyone to fix his skills before the first raids, so id say a complete wipe of skills + set everything to maxskill + disabling .setskill would be good.
i saw paladins with 10000 def and maybe they accidently changed the defense of tanks as well, so testing with 10k def tanks would just be a waste of time

I do not know whether this is due to PTR, but last 2 days when try to login Cronos getting message about ban. For testing typing random login/pass and receive again this ban window.
When checking Account manager ( by topic https://forum.twinstar.cz/showthread.php/95372-ARE-YOU-BANNED-NEED-HELP-CLICK-HERE!!!!!!!! ) - no bans, all is clear.
Played mainly PTR (sometimes re-loged to K1 for ore farming (max 20 mins), no cheats,etc - just testing. And some of my frineds today got ban window too.
UPD. Sometimes ban fades, but when relog in WoW PTR - getting it agian.

Spider Wing on the Public Test Realm
The Attunement Requirement to enter Naxxramas has been lifted.
For the next 3 weeks Spider Wing will be available on the PTR, however keep in mind that:
- Aggro range of monsters have been reduced to 10 yards
- Auto-attack damage of monsters have been reduced by 50%
- Damage done by players will deal double damage
This have been done to mask the difficulty of the instance, so that the challenge can be saved for the release version. We need as much feedback as possible on the mechanics, spells, groups and patrols inside the instance.

The first couple of clears have shown us that the issues are so limited that there won't be a need to have the wing open for the duration that was previously announced. Instead Spider Wing will be closed on the PTR on february 14th.
This leaves guilds with 2 clears of the instance. The plan is to have the discovered issues fixed by friday (february 10th), so we advise that you schedule your 2nd clear during or after the weekend.
Creating multiple characters to overcome the instance lock-out will not be accepted, and anyone who tries this will receive a 5 day ban starting on the day of the actual naxxramas release.
In addition, we will also introduce a feature that automatically kills the boss if he leaves combat 4 times to prevent resetting the encounter over and over to gain more practice on the encounter. The PTR is available so we can find bugs, not to be a practice-simulation.

We've observed some issues ourselves, and we've received feedback from Vanguard so far. If any other guilds have any observations they want us to look into then you should provide it as soon as possible, as we'd like to have some time to research it before applying the updates in the weekend.
Some of the feedback that was provided were accurate, while other things weren't bugs, and finally some we're still researching evidence for. If you would like to help us out, please investigate whether the behavior below is blizzlike or not:
- Plagued Ghoul is Immune to Shackle Undead
- Plagued Deathhound is Immune to Stun

Pretty sure the Ghouls are indeed supposed to be immune to shackle. I can't recall having seen them shackled back in the days, it would also make it too easy.
As for sources, unsurprisingly there's not much info about those trashpacks out there, but Wowwiki states this: 'Tank them away from the group and kill them last. They are stunnable, so stunning is a good option to reduce damage and cleaves.' -http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Plagued_Ghoul?oldid=407607
It says they are stunnable and they have to be tanked apart -> kinda indicates you couldn't shackle them otherwise it might have been mentioned as an easier tactic.
For the Infectious Ghouls (Ghouls in the Plague Wing, before Noth) it is mentioned that THOSE are SHACKABLE, but those Infectious Ghouls are different from the Plagued Ghouls that are placed in the Outter Ring of Naxxramas.
Infectious Ghouls: 'Vulnerable to stuns, slowing effects and Shackle Undead. Kill them one at a time.' -http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Infectious_Ghoul?oldid=406863
That should hopefully prove enough that the Plagued Ghouls should be immune to shackle. cause otherwise it should have been mentioned on the wiki. But again, it's indeed more indication than solid evidence.
Couldn't find anything about the Deathhounds, but those have bare been killed at all back in the day, cause you usually never crossed their paths on the way to the wing end bosses.

I am hoping we will have a raid that will not be cleared by any guilds in the first days (and later weeks). Please keep it brutal. Please keep it unfair.
C'Thun is already a great fight and the first one that seems to keep the challenge up. I understand Naxx was practically unbeatable before TBC, but that is pretty much what a lot of us want.
That being said, I have not done any Naxx testing on the PTR yet. My apologies if I am misunderstanding the changes.
