1.2 in PTS...tomorrow!

[Ariwyn-WHA]

Patch 1.2 will be on the Public Test Server (PTS) tomorrow, February 17th. This will be a “light” version of Patch 1.2, meaning it currently excludes the Slayer and Choppa, but includes other changes reported in the patch notes. If you’ve been dying to try out the new changes to your class, why wait? Test it out, and make your voice heard—because Warhammer’s forums will also be opening tomorrow in a beta form for discussion of 1.2. To make your forum account, you need to put in your game account information, email, and create a forum username. The forums will be up for 1.2 discussion only, so off-topic posts may be moderated.

To get on the PTS server, you simply have to go into your Warhammer Online folder and execute the test patch. To do this on Windows, go to “My Computer,” double-click the C: drive, open “Program Files,” and open the folder entitled “Warhammer Online.” You will then see an application called “testpatch.” Double-click it and you’re on your way to patching glory!

You also need to transfer one of your already created characters to the Public Test Server. In order to do this, go to the Account Management Page and click on “Character Transfer/Copy.” Select Character Copy so that it copies onto the PTS.

This isn’t the only WAR treat this week. Wednesday evening at 8pm EST, Mythic is looking for players to join two large guilds, one Order and one Destruction, to test out the new guild features and to have some ORvR fun in Tier 4.

For more details and the official note, check out the Herald post.

Added: To our EU members, MBJ's post about EU's involvement in public testing can be found here. Hope that helps clarify things!

That very last bit about T4 RvR shows that they really are listening to us. I'm hopeful!

Is there any chance for EU customers of playing at this 1.2 test server?

[Ariwyn-WHA]

Just an extra note, you can start patching now so you're ready for tomorrow!

[Kerran]

American only?

Or EU too?

Aha that's more like it, thanks Ariwyn. I was looking on the EU herald forum, but nothing new there since 10/2/2009.

Are they not allowing copies yet because I cannot copy my character over, doesnt have the copy character button. I was able to do it last patch, im pretty sure i remember what im doing.

Most likely, I wasn't able to copy over yet.

Any idea when we'll be able to test out the classes in the PTS?

Read the post

Says it won't be happening to begin with, they will roll out the new classes in a later phase of pretesting.

Currently you can't copy the characters over. Inevitably you'll be able to once the PTS opens tomorrow.
