PTR 3.3: Raid Test Schedule 11/6-11/7
Amatera
Though it's come rather late in the week, it looks like there will be some Icecrown Citadel raid testing this week, after all! As of this posting, EU realms have already run their first of the set, having taken another crack at Lady Deathwhisper. Though this isn't a new fight, US players haven't had the pleasure of fighting the vile lich (lichess?). Here's what everyone can look forward to this weekend:

As that's on the EU realms, I won't be able to bring you the down-low just yet, but it does bring us one step closer to the eventual release of Patch 3.3, doesn't it? So far, (including this week) we've seen the following fights:[/caption] "We are scheduling raid tests in Icecrown Citadel for November 6-7.
The schedule is as follows: US Servers Friday, November 6 at 7PM EST / 4 PM PST – Valithria Dreamwalker Saturday, November 7 at 4PM EST / 1PM PST – Icecrown Gunship Battle EU Servers Friday, November 6 at 19:30 CET – Lady Deathwhisper Saturday, November 7 at 19:30 CET – Professor Putricide Only normal difficulties will be tested, although 10 and 25 player raids will be available. The Icecrown Citadel raid test schedule will be very flexible, and can change at a moment's notice due to build status, bugs, and server issues. Remember that this is the test server, so things can, do, and will break from time to time. Check this forum for the latest Icecrown Citadel raid testing schedule information in the weeks to come."
- Lord Marrowgar
- Lady Deathwhisper
- Gunship Battle
- Rotface
- Festergut
- Professor Putricide
- Valithria Dreamwalker
- Sindragosa
Leaving only these four unseen:
- The Deathbringer
- Blood Prince Council
- Queen Lana'Thel
- The Lich King
Now the first and last we may not even see on the PTR due to some rather heavy story spoilers. Even the members of the San'layn (Blood Princes + Queen) are tied to the legend of the sword Quel'Delar, which has its own extensive quest chain associated with it in 3.3, though that's less of a secret at this point.
Of course, I expect all other encounters to be tested at least once more and, in my mind, that still puts the patch close to the end of the month (perhaps immediately following the Thanksgiving weekend?). Then again, I was anticipating the docket being as crowded this week as it was the last. I suppose only time will tell...
If you're at all interested in testing the Gunship Battle tomorrow, do note that it occurs earlier than the normal weekday runs (1PM PST, not 4PM PST).
