Whether you're a veteran tester or new to PTRs, this post will provide detailed instructions on how to access and what to expect from these new realms.
Getting Started with PTR Testing
Accessing the Season of Discovery PTR
Blizzard's Battle.net App is your portal to joining the PTR for the Season of Discovery. To embark on this journey, follow these straightforward steps:
- Open the Blizzard Battle.net App.
- On the lower-left corner of the play screen, adjust your Game Version & Account to "PTR (Classic Era)".
- Click "Install" to download the 1.15.5 PTR, which turns into a "Play" button once the installation completes.
- With "PTR (Classic Era)" selected, click the "Play" button to enter the testing interface.
- Should the system prompt you to choose an account, rest assured that any account will suffice.
- Finally, on the character selection screen's top right, ensure it displays "Classic Seasonal PTR". If not, hit the Change Realm button and pick "Classic Seasonal PTR" from the "Seasonal" tab.
- Here, you can either create a new test character or transfer an existing one using the "Copy Character" option.
Jumping into the Anniversary Fresh Realms PTR
Accessing the Anniversary Fresh Realms follows a similar process:
- Open the Blizzard Battle.net App.
- Beneath the play screen on the left, change your Game Version & Account to "PTR (Classic Era)".
- Hit "Install" for the PTR version 1.15.5, which will then transform into a "Play" button post-installation.
- Select "PTR (Classic Era)" and press "Play" to log into the PTR environment.
- No matter which account is chosen, it should be compatible.
- On the character selection screen, make sure “Classic Anniversary PTR” is indicated at the top right corner; if not, click the Change Realm button and select “Classic Anniversary PTR” from the “Seasonal” tab.
- Create a new test character and begin your adventure by pressing "Enter World".
