2.1 On PTS - Fae Yule Test Today! 11/30 Starting @ 3PM Pacific

[Elrar]

Hi all,

You may have noticed just moments ago PTS picked up a significant patch. This is the first time we've updated it since Storm Legion's release.

We're inviting anyone who can make it to join us this afternoon for the first round of Fae Yule Testing!

We're looking for feeback on the following:

- The Instant Adventure (This is a random adventure in the zone rotations, please use Freemarch to test this today)
- The Warfront (Alternate White Fall steppes mode for Fae Yule)
- Quests & other festivities

Of course there are the new rewards to check out as well - though the prices aren't finalized yet

Please join us shortly on PTS starting at 3:00PM Pacific (11PM GMT) - we look forward to your feedback!

Getting Started on PTS

[Muffinmans]

Will the Dendrome be opened? Or is this just strictly Fae Yule stuff that went up?

[Pines]

No patch notes?

[Leif]

New items and the costs:
28 slot bag- 650 snowflakes
Fae Yule Cape- 500
Prancer & Dasher: Fae Yule Vaiyuu Pets- 500 each
Air Essence- 650
Lvl 58 Blue Helms that can be upgraded to lvl 60 epics- 650
Item to upgrade helms- 1k

Clickable loot candles/presents are back and I confirmed that snowman still drop from them. I imagine all the old snowmen are back, along with the rare mount. Dev confirmation on the mount would be appreciated.

The sled is the best thing EVER.

New achieves for Fae Yule Whitefall, with the meta achieve for Fae Yule giving... an alo ham?

[Reticularize]

Can you post stats for those essences of us that have to work all night?

While we're talking about events, Autumn Harvest Ambersaps items are STILL not on the world event merchants.

They are there. There's a merchant for them near the item merchant.

Are those snowflake costs or plat?

Snowflakes.

Also, for my PVP brethren: one of the dev's said he'd try to set up my suggestion that the World Event WF give Snowflakes to winners, so maybe the days of having to farm PVE stuff for our items is drawing to a close!

Fae Yule whitefall is neat. Near the start of the match, one player get's turned into Fae Yule Fluffy (Santaclaws) and gets a 10% damage buff. Whoever kills that person becomes Santaclaws, and there's two achieves involving it. Stones are presents instead. Santaclaws can't pick up stones/presents.

All the item costs are in Unique Snowflakes, here's a rough idea of what some of the new items are

I'm prototyping it out, I'll let you all know if it works. Right now it's looking positive.

[Caitie]

I ran a few IAs with a few people including Tacitus and gave him some feedback but I found out some more.

I had fun sleding but when I came back after doing the IA a great big ugly level 44 death rift spawns right where the Fae Yule portal in IPP is. Having forgot to mentor back up they killed me.
