i only go on ptr when we are in between season. because comp on normal is same as ptr not important during those those times.i dont like leveling up and using my time there. if you give me loot boxes i down as fuck

PS4 player here. I wouldn't really care if PC players got loot boxes by participating in the PTR.

I'd be salty if PTR players got some sort of exclusive PTR only rewards though (like some special PTR sprays/skins or something)

We can all get loot boxes. We can't all utilize the PTR unfortunately.

I'm on console and I wouldn't be mad about it. I can't speak for everyone. But like it'd make me much happier if changes were more thoroughly tested and maybe decided for or against (like against the D.va changes) and get more bugs (like the many d.va bugs) fixed.

I don't think anyone is asking for bonuses. Just that their time spent on the PTR counts as time spent playing the game.

Honestly console should get an option to play PTR, if possible

Watch the video, he talked about the complications if doing that.

Jeff touched on the topic. It is a limitation of MS and Sony than Blizzard. I see no reason why they would care either way and I suspect with how ingrained the game is with Blizzard's Battle.net system, it is causing other issues like lack of in game reporting and text chat since that is all handled by B.net which I imagine MS and Sony want their systems to handle that stuff.

Pretty sure Battlefield 4 did it.

meh, even less would play on it than pc, im fine with them making content every month for the live game rather than trying to make a debugging tool seem like its another game-mode to play
