On the PTR
I don’t have a beta key, but I have been on the PTR.
I have lots of thoughts on what’s there (I think Bears aren’t going to be wanted as tanks, Hunters will be thrilled with a month to play with before Wrath to get their devilsaurs and gorillas up to 70, And it’s going to take a month for Pallies to relearn their class). But I think I am noticing something that doesn’t have to do with any of the classes.
Does anyone else think they have started tweaking the graphics engine a bit on the PTR? Things look just enough different that I think they have. Not a ton. You won’t see eye blasting differences, but there are little things. Edges are a little more sharply defined. That sort of thing.
I’m suspecting there will be several larger changes to the graphics engine when the xpac comes out. But I think they are sneaking some smaller changes into 3.0

Would not surprise me. They did the same for BC. At some point just before or after they rolled out BC I noticed they had changed the look of several varieties of herbs, mostly noteble to me at that time was the change in the look of Peacebloom.
I think with major patches they’re slipping in slow but gradual graphics upgrades.
