anymore news about when its online?
or are we just waiting for nothing?
Blizzard encountered some problems while trying to launch the PTR…
There isn’t much info around, but Blizzard did provide an update on the EU English blog – something that @Hariken forgot to mention.
I put it on the General Discussion when it came out, here: No ptr yet? its says 17 sept - #4 by Boubou-1741
No other recent news…

@Hariken didnt forget to mention about that. You already posted in every forum post. Appretiated this. But on the other hand, @Hariken mentioned about “RESPECT to players”. In main PTR Notes it says that it is between 17-24 sept. Under in an other forum post, @Alocyte said “PTR starts 17th” (according to original PTR post) and @Boubou said “Nope… (three dots) It starts whenever the Devs say it’s ready.”. And i said that Devs already informed in original post that it will start at 17th and will be ended at 24th.
This was not about only this PTR delay. I was trying to say this is Blizzard general approach to player, unfortunately not respectful. If @Hariken forgot to mention another thing he may mentioned in next post.
It’s a test server. Sometimes they have problems with it. That’s why they announced the problems / delay.
Having said that, whilst the live servers operate in three regions (US, EU and Asia) there is only one PTR server, and it’s based on the West coast of the USA in the Pacific Time zone. The PTR is usually brought up and made available to players on the date specified, but in the early to late afternoon of the Pacific time zone.
Remember that Pacific Time is UTC-7.
The UK is currently in British Summer Time, which is UTC+1.
Western Europe is in Central European Summer Time, which is UTC+2.
So, if everything had gone to plan, and they’d brought up the PTR at 14:00 PT, that would have equated to 22:00 BST and 23:00 CEST.

Yes… Blizzard did not anticipate the problems before they occurred.
And I suppose that it’s taken a long time to find the cause of the problems, figure out a fix, implement the fix, and test it.
Correct – there has been no further info from Blizzard since their first announcement.
We don’t know yet, because Blizzard hasn’t told us what the plan is.
We would all like some info… and it would be nice if Blizzard would provide it.
At the moment, there is no other info so…
