PTR Trial of the Champion (5-Man) – First Looks

We managed to get two groups and attempt this new 5 man as it came up during our organization process. BTW, we need DPS on the PTR.

First Phase – You know all those Argent Tourney dailies.. well I hope you are good at them, and if you aren't, you need to start practicing your jousting now. The first phase is mounted, and you are jousting 3 Horde factions; these 3 groups can vary, judging by the groups we had spawn between the our two 5 mans.

If you thought Rag had a long speech, prepare to be bored- because the opening is very long. Also note: if you wipe, you get to go through it again; Let's hope Bliz changes that. You enter the room , and there's a ring with horses along the edge; Equip your lance, mount up up, and start that long intro. Each of three random factions will move in, with their respective boss. The object is to defeat each of the factions, and then each boss, on horse. The PTR was really buggy (go figure, eh?) and if you died, the client crashed, if you dismounted, the client crashed. Once this phase was over, you had to fight the 3 heads of the factions again, on foot. After that, we have no idea; it seemed to bug out repeatedly for both groups.

Here's the video- note you will not see loot etc. The video stops where I crashed from dying =) -edited, unfortunately YouTube would not allow the Kid Rock audio of Cowboy- Boo on YouTube so here's our version hosted by Blogger =)
