wow Patch 8.2 Bug Reporter Update

[Stan 5,018]

Reporting bugs on PTR will be even easier than ever in Rise of Azshara. Blizzard improved the in-game Bug Reporter and added a tooltip bug hotkey bound to "F6" by default, so whenever you encounter a bug related to creatures, spells, and items, mouse over them and press the hotkey to submit a bug report for review.

Aloha!

We’ve got an update incoming to the In-Game Bug Reporter for our Public Test Realm (PTR). We’re excited about this, because it should make it even easier for testers to get the right information to us as quickly as possible.

Starting with the Rise of Azshara PTR, you’ll see a new context-sensitive hotkey for submitting bug reports. When you mouse over any Creature, NPC, Item, Achievement, or Spell in the game, there’s now some blue text at the bottom of the tooltip that reads “Press F6 to submit a bug for this Item”.

Simply hit that hotkey while mousing over the item or creature or spell you’d like to report, and you’ll see a text box pop up with the model of the creature or icon corresponding to the relevant spell or item. From there just type a short description of the misbehavior you observed, and your bug report will be sent to our Quality Assurance team for review.

The default hotkey for bug reporting is F6, but this can be re-bound to any other key by pressing escape to bring up the game menu, and then selecting Key Bindings. Find the PTR sub-section of the Key Bindings menu and set the hotkey for the Tooltip Bug Hotkey to any key you like.

Thanks to all testers who’ve used the In-Game Bug Reporter in previous PTRs. With your help, we’ve been able to review tens of thousands of bug reports. With these upcoming improvements to the system, we hope to be able to process and review even more issues that you send our way.

We’ll see you in the PTR.

This is amazing, i´ve been on the PTRs, (Alpha/Beta included), testing out raids, the world, and other content like Timeless Isle and more back in the Cata & MoP days and this feature would have been a nice inclusion back then ?

It is a welcome addition. The only thing I don't get about PTR are requirements. We're supposed to test out something, but you need to be let's say Exalted with a certain faction to start a questline on PTR... everything should be unlocked for testing purposes on PTRs imo. Of course, they're lifting requirements... sometimes, but not always.
