0. Kalgan: Why is Gear Swapping enabled on PTR? 08/07/2007 11:25:57 AM PDT
Right now, on the PTR, you can swap gear in arenas after the match has begun. Kalgan made several posts indicating that the plan was to disable gear swapping in Arena matches after the match had begun.
So, Kalgan, what happened? Did you reconsider? Is this a bug? Is there a technical issue preventing it from being implemented? Is this coming in a later build on the PTR for patch 2.2, a later patch, never, WOTLK?
Please provide the relevant information.
Oh and let me just get the rest of this thread out of the way.

You should be able to switch gear in combat, it's a nice edge for those that spend the time to prepare for different situations. It's also important that people be able to adjust to changes in the game. For example, if you take away gear changing it takes away any possibility of healer-healer left alive ever ending.

Hrm, I don't believe there was any indication that it was definitely coming for patch 2.2.
I believe the intention was to have it come at the same time as the resilience change, so it may either just not be live on the PTRs yet, or just couldn't make this patch.
Just as an FYI voice chat still isn't live on the PTRs. 2.2 has a while to go still.

Q u o t e:
Oh, but I'm sure we'll get hit with the Dot / Resilience nerf, right?
Another fantastic double-nerf, thanks a bunch.
No joke.
How can you let a fairly significant nerf go on the PTR but put a general change on the back-burner?
I smell anti-lock conspiracy? (jk though I still don't like it)
