Blizzard has shared a roundup of their official forum posts for the week, with a focus on PTR content and the Greedy Emissary Diablo IV promotional event. There is also some news included for the Call of the Crusade patch in WoW Classic.
First and foremost, Blizzard explained their reasoning in locking the final chapter of Embers of Neltharion behind raid progression, and clarified that the chapter will become available to all players regardless of raid progression when the next wing of Raid Finder opens.
For the Greedy Emissary event, they let us know that the Tyrael’s Charger mount and Horadric Haversack bag both have a high chance to drop from the first Treasure Goblin that is defeated each day. They also clarified that Diablo Charms will be disabled in instances to avoid giving anyone an unfair edge in competitive content. This was also included in the most recent hotfixes.
The latest PTR development notes were also posted this week, as well as a feedback thread for the upcoming Kalimdor Cup dragonriding races. Finally, there was a post explaining the install locations for PTR clients and their current availability.
Stay up to date with World of Warcraft when you join us each week as we round up some of the latest top blue posts and discussions.
HERE ARE THIS WEEK’S HIGHLIGHTS:
