Today’s PTR Patch Notes can be found here.
For Week Three, we’re building on the momentum of the first two weeks of the Public Test Realm (PTR). We are planning to increase the level cap in the near future, but we want to make sure we have our early combat tuned well before we start tacking on additional levels and power.
Here are some of the highlights for this week’s PTR patch:
Ranger Unlocked – The ranger class is ready for testing for levels 1-10. Let us know how it’s looking in our Discord feedback channels.
Adjustments to Rested XP – We have made some changes to rested XP so that players will spend it a bit faster. We’ve also reduced the rate at which you earn rested XP while logged out, to help get it closer to its goal of helping people that can’t log in every day.
NPC Tuning – We have updated many of our lower-level NPCs and their abilities to help bring them in line with the intended difficulty for low level areas.
Item Tuning – We have updated many low-level drops with stats and values that are more appropriate for their level and rarity.
Class Adjustments and Bug Fixes – this patch contains several adjustments for class abilities as well as fixes for many of the bugs that you have helped us identify over the past week. We have also adjusted the level requirements of some early abilities for several classes based on player feedback, and added a few new abilities to help fill in some gaps in low-level kits.
As always, we want to send a big thank you out to all our players who are logging onto the PTR. Your bug reports and feedback are helping us refine the changes we are making so when we are ready to push the Combat and Progression update out to all our servers, our game can deliver a compelling and fun combat experience at all levels.
