Undocumented 2.2 Patch Notes

Post by Lateralus »

Copy Paste job ;)
www.worldofraids.com wrote:Undocumented 2.2 Patch Notes

As in every patch, there are always changes omitted from the official patch notes, Viral of Stormrage, together with the wow community made a compilation of these undocumented changes, which one can be seen below:

World
- New music added to Honor Hold as well as the inns of Ironforge, Stormwind, and Ratchet
- Cho Threadstrong has new sayings he shouts at the fruit vendor (poor fruit vendor)
- Griftah unceremoniously ousted from Shattrath. Now sadly selling his fine wares (at unreasonably cheap prices!) in Terrokar Forest, just outside of the city's south-eastern tunnel at 36, 30 (Thanks, Meadows)

Character Models, Animation, & Spell Effects
- Orc shoulders and off-hand weapons fixed (possible overcompensation for previous bug?)
- Male night elf shoulders arc differently (possible bug?)
- Cyclone graphic changed to, and I quote, "look more awesome." Awesomeness confirmed
- Evocation's graphic effect updated, seems to be a blue version of the confirmed-awesome cyclone update
- Windfury finishes the updated cyclone trilogy, now larger and darker; fans are divided!
- Prayer of Mending received a new animation
- Hurricane visually seems more selective, targeting victims with bolts of lightening bolts followed by loud booms
- Nethermine Ravager's rock shell ability received a new spell effect
- Druid Moonkin form has a new bandaging/crafting/using animation
- Undead epic horse mount trails longer flames

Items
- Red Ogre Suit is now fixed; weapons scaled down and now seat properly when sheathed
- Non-combat pets now have a 1-second cool-down between summoning and unsummoning
- Aquadynamic Fish Attractors now officially say the duration is 10 minutes as opposed to 5
- Crashn' Thrashn' Robot now will walk around a small area instead of standing in one spot
- Merciless Gladiator's Satin Gloves graphic has been changed from slim and tight to look like the bulky Merciless Gladiator's Mooncloth Gloves
- Sha'tari Skyguard's Enriched Terrocone Juice reputation reward vendor item price increased from 40 copper to 36 silver
- Farmer's Broom 100% beefier
- Moonsoul Crown has been changed from a miscellaneous to a cloth item, receiving 39 armor and 50 durability

Professions
- Fishing: Bobber splash at the end of the timer is adjusted so you don't have to instantly click for fear of missing
- Fishing: The fishing line now instantly appears when you cast

Quests
- Relic's Emanation daily quest money reward decreased while the Ogri'la faction reward was increased (documented somewhere but apparently not well known so here it is. Huzzah!)
- Skettis escort quest reward reduced to 9 gold from 11 gold, 99 silver

UI & Game Mechanics
- Disenchant received a new icon
- Wide screen UI scales differently
- UI Scaling in general appears to be a bit funky and requires some tweaking
- New Auction house alert: "A buyer has been found for your auction of X"
- Error speech re-enabled by default. You require more vespene gas
- One hour delay on receiving currency from successful auctions (there seems to be confusion as to where this note was actually posted so for sanity's sake here it is, possibly again)
- Windowed game begins in the center of the screen instead of the upper-left corner
- New software reverb audio option
- Ogri'la reputation now goes to 999/1000 exalted
- Voidwalker's Suffering spell seems to work immediately when button is selected (what, no more "I can't do that yet?")
- Blessing of Sacrifice is on a 30 second cooldown, not the 1 minute listed in the patch notes
- Targeting for Skettis bombing run improved
- Tracking abilities such as "Find Minerals" now last through death

Apparently Al'ar is on crack and does meteor/spawns new adds ever 10/15 seconds :P

Ui scaling fix i had to do:
(also had to update itemrack and clique)

http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/threa ... 5846&sid=1

Solarian change in short:

"With ~140 AR buffed I was mitigating more than 50% of the arcane damage from Arcane Missiles. It's well worth it to bring ~3 pieces of AR gear to the fight (I was using gloves, boots and trinket).

Also, the bomb works as it was explained above: it will explode throwing anyone within 10yd to the ceiling. If you were the one with wrath, you don't take fall damage. Everyone else will (and it will kill them). Basically, it's one of those "one person not focusing wipes the raid" kind of fights. Overall she's much easier though." :roll:

Better macro i found in there too for solarian assist healing that doesnt rely on /assist range (replace flash of light with heal spell of choice):

/cast [target=targettarget] flash of light

Afaik all recipes use the new materials and old recipes from AQ40 you still keep, so no need to buy them again.
For example, I got all my preBC flask recipes the hard/expensive way and they updated fine with the consumable-nerf patch.
No need to get exalted with all the factions out there to re-acquire your recipes.

It's not activated on any server in Europe.
Another undocumented change: the new sound-system sucks.

part 2:
Viral of Stormrage has updated the 2.2 Undocumented Patch Notes with several new changes, we at WoR also added additional changes to his update, you can read about them below. As usual if something is missing, let us know. (Part 1 can be seen here)

Druids
• Pounce(druid) now have 2 debuffs : one for the stun and one for the bleed effect.

Raid Encounters
• [Archimonde] Jumping in the Well of Eternity no longer removes the Fire Debuff.

Character Models, Animation, & Spell Effects
• Warlock Curse of Tongue animation changed.

• Hunter and Rogue ashtongue exalted ashtongue trinket got a new icon.
• Ghost wolf form has a new animation when you gathering herbs.
• Spell Reflect graphic changed; now appears on the character instead of over them
• Frostbolt has flashier, more dynamic impact effect
• Counterspell has new graphic that encircles the target

Items
• Grips of Silent Justice now recolored tier 6 warrior gloves instead of recolored tier 6 paladin gloves
• Netherweave bandages now sell to vendors for 12 silver, 75 copper
• Heavy Neatherweave bandages now sell to vendors for 30 silver
• Wicked Edge of the Planes no longer has the firey trail behind it
• Sylvanaar Champion's Shoulders have had their strength bonus reduced from +36 to +22
• Letters are now soulbound, role players fail to grok reasoning behind this change
• Deprecated Tauren Trapper's Pants no longer makes your character's underwear disappear which, if worn by a tauren, comes as a relief to every other race in the game

UI & Game Mechanics
• Monstrous Kaliri also give soul shards now, still no less obnoxious
• The Illidan encounter seems to have changed, now includes a 15 minute berserk timer (this design crutch has been or will be hot-fixed as it appears to have been a bug)
• Warlock Dreadsteed quest now requires one arcanite bar down from three. Veteran warlocks everywhere shake their vile little fists in rage
• Drain Life spell indicates player gains X life every 0 seconds
• Resurrection spells appear to be returning players to life with quite a bit more life and mana
• Skyguard reputation gain has been more than slightly increased
• Tainted and Enchanted elementals in the Vashj encounter now track as Elementals instead of Humanoids
