These achievements will still be active, however, players will no longer receive the Plagued Proto-Drake or Black Proto-Drake for completing them. Similar to our decision to remove the Amani War Bear from Zul’Aman, the goal is to ensure that such mounts retain a degree of rarity in the game; and with raids progressing into Ulduar in patch 3.1, we feel obtaining the rewards for “Glory of the Raider” and “Heroic: Glory of the Raider” would be somewhat trivialized. For this reason we will be offering new fast mounts (310 speed) as rewards for completing select achievements associated with 10 and 25-player Ulduar. </div><span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span></div></div><br /><font size="3" style="line-height: 1.3em;"><b>Ulduar PTR Testing schedule</b></font><br /><div class="blizzquotewrap"><div class="blizzquoteinner"><span class="corners-top"><span></span></span><div class="blizzquoteheader"><span>Quote from: <b>Daelo (<a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/12/15443404659-ulduar-ptr-testing-schedule.html" target="_blank" style="color: white;">Source</a>)</span></b></div><div class="blizzquote">Ok, we&#39;re going to attempt to have some playtest sessions for Ulduar starting tonight and through this weekend.<br /><br />The following is the tentative schedule for this weekend:<br /><br />On the North American test realms:<br /><span style="color: white;"><b>Hodir</b></span> - Thursday night, February 26, starting at 7pm EST/4pm PST.<br /><span style="color: white;"><b>Iron Council</b></span> - Friday night, February 27, starting at 7pm EST/4pm PST<br /><br />On the European test realms<br /><span style="color: white;"><b>Thorim</b></span> - Friday night, February 27, starting at 7pm CET.<br /><b><span style="color: white;">Freya</span></b> - Friday night, February 28, starting at 7pm CET.<br /><br />This schedule could change at a moment&#39;s notice due to server, bug, or patch status. I&#39;ll try to keep everyone informed as much as possible. Ulduar and the bosses to be tested will remain also open a variable length of time. How long they stay open depends upon a host of factors including designer availability, bug status, etc.<br /><br />We also hope to have the zone open on Sunday for each respective realm for a longer period of time. We have a couple special versions of Patchwerk setup. One of them is called Patchwerk (DPS Test) and is essentially a massive training dummy for your raids. The other is Patchwerk (Tank Test), and he does not have a Hateful Strike, but his melee damage increases over time.<br /><br />We&#39;re very interested in seeing combat logs and parses for all raid testing on the PTR.<br /><br />Quick Ulduar FAQ:<br /><br />Q) Will there be testing available on Oceanic, Korean, or other time zones?<br />A) There will be some testing available. We do plan on allowing for extended testing on Flame Leviathan, and possibly other bosses. We want encounter designers to be present during testing, which makes testing during some time zones difficult.<br /><br />Q) Where&#39;s all the trash?<br />A) We don&#39;t have everything turned on for these tests, and this sometimes includes trash creatures before each boss encounter.<br /><br />Q) Where&#39;s the loot?<br />A) We don&#39;t have this attached to bosses yet, but we&#39;ll have loot hooked up soon.<br /><br />Q) What about achievements?<br />A) These aren&#39;t implemented yet. </div><span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span></div></div>
