Blizzard has brought patch 1.15.7 to the Public Test Realm for preliminary testing for Season of Discovery. Currently the developers are testing stability and there is little or no Phase 8 content available for testing yet. But if you head to the southwest corner of Eastern Plaguelands, you can now enter the town of New Avalon, which most players will recognize as the Scarlet Crusade town from the Death Knight starting experience in Wrath of the Lich King and beyond.
The town is populated with hostile high-level elites. There are no quests to be found or anything else remarkable – no raid portal for the upcoming Scarlet Enclave raid, for example. There may be content that has not yet been added or which is currently progression blocked. There is an interesting debuff that applies to your character in the town: Armistice, the effects of which are unknown.
Below you can see some additional screenshots of the area, which seems to have changed quite a bit from how it looks in the Death Knight intro. Among other things, the gates that lead beyond the town into the rest of the Death Knight starting area are closed. There are also some interesting trees in one spot that appear to be floating on top of green crystals.
Today, we opened the Season of Discovery PTR for preliminary testing.
The focus for our first 1.15.7 PTR is mostly to get the new build up on the PTR to evaluate stability. There is very little new content available test, and some of the new content is not complete, so there may be many bugs or progression blockers present.
We will update this forum with additional development notes when new content becomes available in a more complete state.
For now, players who want to copy characters, log in, and play around in the build, are welcome and encouraged to help us find issues we need to address .
