Here's the current schedule for Ulduar PTR testing. We're currently in a mild holding pattern while we wait for a new PTR build with updated changes to most all the bosses, Mimiron, Auriaya, more loot, etc. As a reminder, this schedule could change further depending on build status.

On the North American test realms:

Mimiron - Friday Night, March 13, starting at 7pm EDT/4pm PDT.
Hodir - Saturday Night, March 14, starting at 7pm EDT/4pm PDT.
Flame Leviathan - Sunday, March 15, starting at 2pm EDT/11am PDT.
Ignis the Furnace Master - Monday Night, March 16, starting at 7pm EDT/4pm PDT.
XT-002 Deconstructor - Tuesday Night, March 17, starting at 7pm EDT/4pm PDT.
Kologarn - Wednesday Night, March 18, starting at 7pm EDT/4pm PDT. THIS IS CANCELLED.


On the European test realms:

Mimiron - Friday Night, March 13 at 19:00 CET.
Auriaya - Saturday Night, March 14, at 19:00 CET.
Flame Leviathan - Sunday Night, March 15, starting at 19:00 CET.
General Vezax - Monday Night, March 16, starting at 19:00 CET.
Thorim - Tuesday Night, March 17, starting at 19:00 CET.
Freya - Wednesday Night, March 18, starting at 19:00 CET. CHANGED TO RAZORSCALE

This schedule could change at a moment's notice due to server, bug, or patch status. I'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.

We're very interested in seeing combat logs and parses for all raid testing on the PTR.

Quick Ulduar FAQ:

Q) Where's all the trash?
A) We don't have everything turned on for these tests, and this sometimes includes trash creatures before each boss encounter.

Q) Where's the loot? (UPDATED)
A) 25 player raid bosses should have all of their loot attached.

Q) What about achievements? (UPDATED)
A) After the next PTR build goes live, you'll see some Achievements in the list. Most all of these are not actually functional yet, and the list is not final.
