us.battle.netShame they aren't putting it on the PTR to test

It'd be nice, but at the same time I can understand wanting to have all the testing on one server. It does beg the question, though: Why not test it on the PTR, instead of beta, if they want to see how things will perform at crunch time?

I wish they did for selfish reasons, but its understandable why they didnt. Theres soooo many people on the ptr right now that it would be a clusterfuck. If the invasions are instanced then maybe itd work but I doubt the servers could handle it.

That would simulate launch behavior which is what they should be going for.

Demon Invasion Event Test June 16-17
Kaivax / Community Manager
With thanks to all testers who participated in our demon invasion Beta test last week, we're going to have another.
On Thursday, June 16, starting at 10:00 a.m. PDT, we will activate a demon invasion realm in the Legion Beta. This Beta realm will be dedicated to testing the pre-expansion demon invasion event with as many testers as possible for approximately 24 hours, and we expect to remove the realm after 24 hours have elapsed.
We ask that all Beta testers please join us in focusing testing on the demon invasion realm when it is available. Other Beta realms will not be available during this 24-hour test.
Please direct your pre-Legion event feedback to the Beta General Discussion forum, and please direct any feedback you have about other Legion subjects to the appropriate dedicated subforum.
Thank you very much! We’ll see you at the defense of Azeroth!

Hopefully there won't be an hours-long delay like last time, but as always "Beta is beta, stuff happens".

Posted by Kaivax
Good Morning,
We're still planning to begin this test at 10:00 am PDT. As mentioned in the original post once the event begins the other realms will not be available. There will be a brief delay as we bring those realms down and bring the Demon Invasion realm up.
I wanted to brief you on a known issue that we're aware of. Right now for testing purposes we have invasions up constantly, switching between zones every so often. We discovered a bug last night that prevents your character from doing an invasion in another zone for ~2 hours after completing one.
This isn't intended, and we're working on a fix for this (we hope to have that ready to deploy today). Since the invasions themselves are up and running we're going to go ahead and start the test at the scheduled time. If you run into the "lockout" issue, you can either wait or use the character template system to make another character and try out an invasion in another zone.
The other beta servers are offline as intended. Demon Invasion server is listed but is still offline for reasons unknown at the moment.
Update #2: Demon Invasion server is up as of 10:25am PDT.
Update #3: Despite the original blue post, apparently the invasion event is running on the PTR as well.

The test officially ended about an hour ago by this point. Thank you to all who helped out!

Could have said beta invasion in title. I got excited and then disappointed.
Did you think they would test it on live?
I thought it was for the PTR.
Oh, that makes more sense. Sorry you got excited bud.
Sorry. =(
