[PTR] More, More, More!

Flush with the success of yesterday, I'm back to the Argent Tournament, to see what they've fixed and what's still borked. As it transpires, a lot has been addressed in the latest PTR build.

Clear, concise and to the point on the Feeback front.

I've seen the feedback forms on earlier PTR's and this is miles better. Of particular interest is the 'Suggestion' box which gives the definite impression Blizz is listening. This cannot be a bad thing. They've fixed the borked quest I couldn't do last time (The Stories Dead Men Tell) for starters, which I was able to progress with. When I found another quest inside the starting area with objectives to track, that rather handily popped up on my screen as well. I don't remember that happening when you picked up a quest before, only when you picked up an item associated with it or completed a step. They've even taken it further:


See the little purple crystal icon that's appeared next to the Quest Text in the first screenie? I thought it was a bug but it's actually the quest item icon. Clicking on it brings up the Seer's Crystal quest item dialogue. You need to have both items for the quest text to highlight as completed.

I've never used any kind of Quest Helper before so I have no idea whether this is standard if you have such an addon, but the developments here make sound logical sense. I am going to forgo the new content altogether as the next stage and try some low level questing on M to see if this has been implemented throughout the game.

Now I have to find a squire about some unexplained disappearances...

Blimey Charlie

So, I thought I'd spend a few minutes this morning looking around for stuff to help me customise this site.

Nearly two hours later it occurs to me that I'd probably have been better off getting a Blogspot account than taking the 'host my own blog, customise it myself' route.

My head hurts :(
