PTR questions

[Toetag]

I downloaded the new patch and logged in. The first thing I noticed is that my paragon was cut from around 96 to 53. The second thing I noticed was that my character seems like he is running through molasses and it feels like he's attacking in slow-motion. I play a monk and his run speed and attack speed were very high, but now it's rediculously slow. Also, I noticed that I'm gaining xp toward paragon again. Any paragon I gain on the PTR is lost when ROS goes live though right?

Did you reimport your account? If not, your Paragon level shouldn't have changed I think. I stayed at level 78, just like before the patch.

In any case, Paragon leveling should be faster now. While Paragon levels require more XP this is offset by enemies giving you much more than before.

I have no idea what caused this. The new patch didn't change either of these stats. Are you sure you didn't reset your Paragon points by mistake?

You did even before the patch, but the XP bar was bugged for a while.

Yes. When RoS goes live the game will essentially reimport your account, so everything you have on the PTR is temporary.

I think they changed the way paragon points are calculated with the latest patch.
I went from 138 something to 102 when i re-copied from EU.

And yes, any progress, gear, anything on the PTR is lost when the actual expansion is launched.

EDIT: HardRock beat me to it
