Want to be cool, yo?
Want to bask in some blue goo?
Want to put yourself in a sticky situation having to heal Ghostcrawler (perhaps, if he shows up)?
Then come and pug with the blues today at 7:00 p.m. EST / 6:00 p.m. CST / 4:00 p.m. PST on the PTR. Blizzard folk will be logging onto the PTR to test out the new dungeon system matching tool that's coming up in patch 3.3. Blizzard has done this kind of event before on beta realms and tournament test realms, and they're always a good time.
WoW.com writers will be there taking some pictures of any antics that develop (we know the blues have a thing for turning people into toads and what not).
Nothing says loving like 10,000 people standing around /yelling "Don't nerf me, bro!"
That's hot.

I hope no druids in their group fails and end up getting us nerfed as a payback!

Wait...maybe if enough druids purposely fail, you'll all get buffs!

Does anybody know when the PTR will be back up on the website so I could download it?
JLocke Nov 4th 2009 12:47PM
Oh I cant wait, if they have the blizz logo, I hope they don't get spammed the hell out with requests and QQ, maybe it'll be like gen chat, cept with more Blue :)

Unfortunately I will be at an AC/DC concert tonight so I can't join in the fun.
...wait a minute, that's not unfortunate!
I'm sure pug'ing with GC would be a blast, but I'd rather rock out with Angus!
As a side note, I think this is really cool, and would be a fun opportunity.
Dave Nov 4th 2009 1:36PM
I'll be at the same concert. I'll pick Angus & the boys over GC any day. =P
It's good to get out of Azeroth from time to time.
"It'll be leveling up in real life! Fun!"

They will get spammed. They won't be able to do any dungeons because everyone will ask them dumb qq questions or threaten them or something. It's like that thing when Obama went to a fast food place, he was swarmed with reporters and could even eat in peace.
That's why I suggest the devs come over to the European PTR, because everyone knows that Europeans are just better than Americans (along with their satellite state, Canada).

obvious troll is obvious
Emophia Nov 4th 2009 1:20PM
He might be trolling, but what he says is most probably true.
I say this from having play on both US and EU WoW servers.
Emophia Nov 4th 2009 1:21PM
Played*
Tolkfan Nov 4th 2009 3:22PM
Another thing about Americans, they can't stand when someone makes jokes about them, but they don't seem to mind making fun of Europeans :)
Noah Nov 4th 2009 3:37PM
That's not exactly true. While we Americans can't stand it when someone makes a joke about us, we don't actually make fun of Europeans, because we don't care enough about them to do so.
Muse Nov 4th 2009 1:08PM
Are they masochists or something? The average WoW player, if given a direct line to talk to a blue, for even just 10 seconds, on average/average all things being equal, will say an insult.

And thus the battle for my soul continues between my girlfriend and WoW.
Psiwave Nov 4th 2009 2:21PM
Billions of girls, only one WoW.
That's what I told my girlfriend. With any luck I'll be out of hospital by the release of 3.3 :-)

OK am I the only person who can not login to the Worldofwarcraft.com website at all? I can read the forums, but if I try to login it says: The site is down for maintenance. We'll be back soon! been that way since yesterday for me.
I want to re-download the PTR (lost it in the last format and have never downloaded it again). And also transfer my toon to the PTR.
So... any idea if this will be back up before the runs tonight or am I just S.O.L. because blizz is down?
Kar On E Nov 4th 2009 2:37PM
Not sure, but this message from their twitter may have something to do with it.
"We are currently performing a brief maintenance on Account Management for World of Warcraft and Battle.net until approx. 12:00 PM PST. "

I think GC should be forced to do a full clear of ICC with a paladin healer and tank. Maybe he'll learn something.
xikem Nov 4th 2009 1:58PM
your right! he will realize there is more to be done :P
Avan Nov 4th 2009 1:54PM
Should any priest healers get grouped with GC:
Whenever you're healing someone, be sure to say that you're healing them. Bonus points if you guys are using voice chat. Double, no triple bonus points should anyone in the group be named "Jimmy."
