Wie bereits im Verlauf des gestrigen Abends von Blueposter Arvaanas in einer auf Twitter veröffentlichten Nachricht angekündigt wurde, haben die Mitarbeiter von Blizzard Entertainment heute früh nun den neuen Build 23436 auf den öffentlichen Testserver von World of Warcraft aufgespielt und dadurch dann offiziell die Testphase zu dem neuen Patch 7.2 „The Tomb of Sargeras“ gestartet. Auch wenn dieser neue Build für den PTR bereits sehr viele Inhalte aus diesem kommenden Update beinhaltete, so stehen den Testern einem von Community Lore veröffentlichten Bluepost zufolge bisher aber noch kaum Neuerungen zum Ausprobieren zur Verfügung. Im Moment konzentrieren sich die Entwickler nämlich erst einmal darauf, diese neue Spielversion zu stabilieren, Probleme mit den Servern zu beheben und sowohl die Dämoneninvasionen als auch die Pet Battle Dungeons durch Spieler testen zu lassen.

Folgend findet ihr nun den Bluepost von Community Lore, die offiziellen englischen PTR Patchnotes zu Patch 7.2 und eine umfangreiche Übersicht zu allen Neuerungen, die bisher bereits von Data Minern in den Spieldaten dieses Updates gefunden wurden. Dazu gehören beispielsweise neue Modelle für NPCs, ein weiterer Dungeons, das Grabmal des Sargeras als Schlachtzug und viele neue Reittiere.

Der Bluepost von Community Manager Lore zu diesem Build.

Welcome to the Patch 7.2 PTR! As we’re just getting our 7.2 public test phase underway, we’d like to give you some context into what you’ll see (and won’t see) in this first build.

Most of Patch 7.2’s major content isn’t enabled in this build – that’ll be coming in a few weeks. Our primary testing focus for this build will be Demon Assaults, as well as general game stability (e.g. crashes). 7.2’s Pet Battle Dungeon should also be available for testing.

There’s a few other things of note that are enabled for initial testing in this build, but be aware that many of them are still heavily under development:

Transmog Item Sets: This is an update to the Transmogrification System that tracks the progress and collections of Raid and PVP item sets, and we’d love your feedback on it.
Tab targeting improvements: We’re hard at work making some improvements to this feature, and have a few updates in this build that should make tab targeting feel more natural. Please let us know what you think!
Some updated visual effects for Hunters, Death Knights, and Balance Druids: This is still very much in a work-in-progress state, but we’re making a few improvements to the look and feel of these classes, and want to hear your feedback.

You may also start to see some bits and pieces of an improvement we’re making to PvP gearing in 7.2 through the Obliterum Forge (which will no longer require completing a quest chain to unlock). The intent of this system is to allow players who have received multiple pieces of unwanted gear to exchange them for a piece of their choosing. It’s not yet ready for testing, but it’s on the way.

Die PTR Patchnotes zu Patch 7.2:

Patch 7.2 is now available for testing on the Public Test Realms (PTR). Participating on the Public Test Realms allows you to test a patch before it is released on live realms. Once you’ve had a chance to try things out, visit our PTR Discussion 7.2 forum to discuss the patch. To report issues or errors, use the in-game Submit Bug feature (found under Game Menu, Help, Submit Bug) or by visiting the PTR Bug Report 7.2 forum .

More features are coming! New information for 7.2 features that are still in-development will be added soon
- Please keep in mind that the notes below are not final, and details may be subject to change before the release of Patch 7.2.
Not all content listed in the PTR Patch Notes may be available for testing. Content may have a limited test window.

New Features

Demon Assaults

The Burning Legion is assaulting Azeroth with renewed determination. Look for Broken Isles zones to come under attack, fight to drive the Legion back, and defend the lands of your new allies.

Pet Battle Dungeon

Something nefarious is going on in the world of pet battles, and it’s up to you to look into it. If you have at least one level 25 battle pet, speak to Breanni in Dalaran to get directions to this new scenario.

Updated Features

Transmogrification Sets

A new ‘Sets’ tab in the Appearances UI is where you’ll find this new way of tracking item sets from previous Raids, PvP Seasons, and more.

Class Combat Updates

The launch of Legion included many updates to class animations, sounds, and spell effects. These will continue in Patch 7.2 with updates to Hunters, Death Knights, and Balance Druids. More are on the way!

Legion Reputation Updates

Reputation earned beyond Exalted will now contribute towards earning additional rewards from Broken Isles faction emissaries.

Tab Targeting

In Patch 7.2, tab targeting should feel more natural. While in combat, you will no longer be able to accidentally tab to a target that is out of combat with you. Furthermore, you’re no longer able to tab to a target that neither your character nor your camera can see. This is very much a work-in-progress, and your feedback is greatly appreciated.
