WAR Community Poll: Once again another joint poll with WAR Vault. Tell us why you login to the PTS! Share your thoughts about the testing system!

News From The Herald
News from the Herald compiles Herald posts from the day.

Immediate Server Downtime: The gremlins of server stability are at it again. Mythic apologized for the short notice, but needed to make some tweaks to servers due to the new 1.3 patch. North American and Oceanic servers were taken down at 2:35 PM EDT and brought back online at 3:23 PM EDT.

Hotfixes from the 16th and 17th: Earlier today, Mythic fixed the “Hammer and Chain” Live event quest. Players will now earn event credit when they complete this quest. Players that have already completed this quest and did not earn event credit should speak to the Event Herald. Players no longer select objects (doors and the like) when they hit “taget nearest enemy" key binding. On the Combat and Careers front, a few items were noted. It seems DoKs and Warrior Priests had regeneration rates reduced on AoE heals. The Archmage High Magic mechanic was fixed. Git To Da Choppa now will only affect one enemy per pulse.

Daily Devs
Daily Devs compiles all the important Dev Tracker posts from the day.

Lost Vale Sigil: It seems bosses aren’t dropping the correct (if any) sigils and wards. The team is aware of the issue and is working on a fix.

Hotplate Response: Andy Belford replies to the hotplate and defends the PTS. “To say that this round of PTS testing was ineffective is doing a grave injustice to the players who were actively participating in this round of testing.” Further, Andy lays out future plans:

“We are going to continue to offer strong in game incentives for PTS participation moving forward. We believe that if you are willing to invest your time into helping us make this game better, you should have something to show for it. You've already seen some rewards with the Shroud and keep looking out as we're going to be rewarding the Imperial Griffon and Enslaved Manticore mounts for PTS testing soon.”

Thank you, Andy!
