6.2 May Or May Not Be Heading To The PTR
A new patch is being pushed to the PTR, after being asked on twitter if it was 6.2 QA Analist Zorbrix did not deny (nor confirm) if it was 6.2.

Greetings All!The PTR realms are currently offline so that we can deploy a new PTR Build. Current ETA on downtime is about 8-10 hours.
I’ll be leaving this thread open for general discussion as long as people remain civil and follow forum rules.
Get Your BlizzCon® Tickets This Week
Blizzcon tickets will go on sale this week. But not only that, for the first time ever the virtual ticket holders will be able to buy a Blizzcon Goody Bag!
Just a reminder to set your alarms and sync up with your traveling companions: BlizzCon 2015 general admission tickets go on sale this week in two batches—one on Wednesday, April 15 at 7 p.m. PDT, and a second on Saturday, April 18 at 10 a.m. PDT. When the time comes, head to the BlizzCon ticketing page at the link below to try for tickets, and check out our original announcement for all the details.
A Bit o’ Good Goody Bag News
If you can’t make it to the show in person, this year there’ll be a whole new way to bring a piece of the BlizzCon experience home: For the first time ever, Virtual Ticket buyers will have the option to purchase a BlizzCon Goody Bag of their own. Supplies will be limited, and some regional restrictions will apply—we’ll share additional information closer to the Virtual Ticket’s launch, so keep an eye on BlizzCon.com in the months ahead.
*NEW FOR 2015* Ticket Delivery and Making Name Changes
Keep in mind that ticket buyers have until August 14 to change the names on each ticket they’ve purchased. That means:
- For ticket buyers: If you bought tickets through Eventbrite and reassign them to someone else, make sure you tell the person you assigned it to previously that their ticket has been reassigned and will no longer grant entry to the show.
- For people who received tickets: If someone else bought tickets for you, double-check with them that your ticket is still in your name after the name-change deadline rolls around (August 14).
IMPORTANT: In order to pick up a badge at BlizzCon, the name on your ticket must match the name on your photo ID, as well as the name assigned to the ticket in the ticketing system.
That means if the ticket was reassigned to someone else without your knowledge and you show up to BlizzCon anyway, we won’t be able to give you a badge—so be careful when acquiring a ticket from a source you don’t know and trust.
One other important change for ticket buyers: This year, you’ll be able to access and reprint your tickets at any time through your Eventbrite account. That means no more waiting around for us to send out a badge email, and no need to worry if you or your attendees lose that email or they get caught in your Spam filter.
BlizzCon 2015 tickets go on sale Wednesday, April 15 at 7 p.m. PT and Saturday, April 18 at 10 a.m. through www.blizzcon2015.eventbrite.com. Good luck, and we look forward to seeing everyone there!
6.1.2 Hotfixes: April 10
Here you’ll find a list of hotfixes that address various issues related to the recently released World of Warcraft Patch 6.1.2. Hotfixes are updates made on our end without requiring a new client-side patch. Some of the hotfixes below take effect the moment they were implemented, while others may require the realm to be restarted to go into effect. Please keep in mind that some issues cannot be addressed without a client-side patch update. This list will be updated as additional hotfixes are applied.
The latest batch of hotfixes are listed below. Previous hotfixes will be compiled by category to provide a quick summary of all hotfixes that have been applied since the start of World of Warcraft Patch 6.1.2.
Tags may be added to some hotfixes to denote a special condition.
- [Requires a realm restart] means the hotfix will not take effect until after a scheduled rolling restart or maintenance.
- [Hotfix in testing] means the hotfix is in early stages of testing and may not be implemented just yet. However, the change is important and is posted to provide as much advanced notice as possible.

Conquest Catch-Up Cap Changes
- Conquest catch-up cap received a change to how it’s calculated that should result in a roughly 50% increase to the catch-up portion of the cap.
- The formula used to calculate a player’s catch-up cap is now: <Number of weeks passed in the season> × 1500 – <Total amount of Conquest earned this season>
- Further information on this change could be found in the forum thread titled: Changes to Conquest Catch-Up Cap.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where whispers were not working correctly from the Mobile Armory chat client.
