Patch Notes: 2.1.1
Not *quite* as short as last time, but 2.1.1 is not a major patch by anyone's reckoning (unless, you know, you're all about "The Fel and the Furious"). Clocking in at 1.84MB on the PC and 3.45 MB on the Mac, here's what you'll be getting:World of Warcraft Client Patch 2.1.1Bugs Players will now be able to properly destory the infernals in the quest, "The Fel and the Furious" Gladiator's Plate Legguards: Fixed a graphical display error. Fixed a bug that caused some systems to see terrain holes appear in the distance. Stackable items retrieved from mail will no longer automatically stack in your inventory. This has been disabled pending a future patch fix. Players will no longer see the flickering terrain issues that were introduced with 2.1.0 when the LOD system is enabled. [Thanks to Kompost for the tip!]

User Interface Players will now be able to access the Looking For Group Channel by joining the Looking For Group/Looking for More tool. Using abilities and casting spells that cannot be used while mounted will now auto-dismount players as needed. This can be disabled by turning off the auto-dismount option in the UI options. Spells that have reagent costs will show the number of uses left in the lower right corner of the action icon, just like consumable items on the action bar. Holding down the shift key while mousing over an equippable item that you can use will now show you the tooltip for the item you currently have equipped in that slot as well (much like how the auction house currently works). The network performance meter now shows framerate and how much memory AddOns are using. You can socket items while in flight. When consuming reagents or using items on the action bar, smaller stacks will be used before larger stacks. Players who feign death no longer appear dead to party and raid members and friendly spells will not be interrupted. Sending item links with invalid enchantments will disconnect you. Equippable items displayed as quest rewards will always show you the tooltip of the item you are currently wearing in that slot. The area of interest while on a flight path is farther along the path instead of in front of you. Your current target will now display all of the duration based spells that you have cast on them with cooldown rings so you will know how much longer they will last. Very useful for warlock damage over time spells and druid healing over time spells as well as many others. Raid Windows now remember their position in the gamefield between sessions. A Main tank and Main assist window have been added to the raid UI that can be pulled out into the gamefield. These windows automatically show the main tank/main assist's target by default. Profession UI now has a search field. Text that is entered into the search field searches against item names, reagent names and item levels (if you include a level). For instance you can type Peace into the search field to see all of your recipes that use Peacebloom, or type in 20-30 to see all of you level 20-30 recipes. This search field only appears once you have more than 75 skill in your profession. Profession UI now has a checkbox that allows you to search by only items that you have the materials to make. Active corpses or objects (ones with loot on them) now can be selected and looted, even if they are underneath another corpse that does not have loot on it. While flying or swimming the 'X' key will now make you move down. Hunter Pets now display their spell damage bonus on the pet pane. The actual effect will nearly always be less than the bonus listed as it depends on the bonus coefficient of the spell the pet is using. Hunters now have a UI option Auto Attack/Auto Shot that if turned off means that the hunter will not automatically switch between ranged attack and melee attack difficulty when the range changes. Party members will no longer see a hunter who is feigning death as actually dead. Shamans are now a darker blue in the raid UI so they have a more distinct color. Items that have additional armor on them higher than standard for an item of that quality and level will have the armor value displayed in green. Gems are now searchable in the Auction House under the heading of Gem with the gems then broken up by color so you can search for all gems of a specific color. When items are being put up for sale on the Auction House, if the item you are putting up for bid is the same item and quantity as the previous item you put up for bid, it will automatically fill in the price and buyout for you with your previous price. The 'Status Bar Text' option in the interface options UI will now display numeric values for all party members health/mana bars in addition to your own. Raid and Battleground chat options have been added to the chat button that is attached to the chat log. New Tips of the day have been added. You can now link recipes into chat. If you have chat input open and you shift-click on one of your recipes in your profession UI then it will put a link to that recipe with the reagents it requires to make into chat. Raid assistants can now start a ready check. You can now display the amount of healing you do to a target in the gamefield. This option can be turned on with the Healing option in the floating combat text section of interface options. The Auction House now has a reset button that will reset all fields you have entered to allow you to quickly try a different search. Movement now interrupts the usage of the Evergrove Wand. Casting beneficial spells while using the Overseer Disguise will now drop the disguise. The Overseer Disguise now has a 1 second casting time, and can no longer be activated while in combat. The Triangulation Device from the Triangulation Point quests in Netherstorm will no longer allow the character to see Ethereum Relays. The directional indicators on the minimap for the towns have been added in Outlands. Searches in the auction house for French, German, and Spanish now do character swapping for some accented characters to yield better results. There is now a Rotate Minimap feature. You can now enable target of target in raid windows New interface option: Open Loot Window at Mouse New interface option: Disable Lua Errors You now see the season stats instead of weekly stats for arena teams when you inspect another player Guild names now appear in player tooltips Stackable items retrieved from mail will automatically stack in your inventory You are now able to right click a player name to report them to GMs. User Interface Scripting Macro Features: New conditional [flyable] which is true if you're in a location where you could use a flying mount You can use %f in chat text to refer to your focus, the same way %t or %n refers to your target. Added macro option support for /dismount Macros containing conditionals will automatically update their visual feedback as appropriate during play. #show and #showtooltip can be given conditionals and will update dynamically #show and #showtooltip can be given a slot number, to display the appropriate feedback for that slot Added bag and slot number support to: /castsequence, /cast, /castrandom, /use, /userandom, /equip, /equipslot New slash command /cancelform The /equip command can take item identifiers specified as item:: e.g. /equip [modifier:alt] item:25640 You can provide several conditional clauses for a single action, which will be performed if any of the clauses evaluates to true. e.g. /cast [target=target,help,nodead] [target=targettarget,help,nodead] [target=player] Flash of Light For additional notes on Lua and XML changes please visit the UI & Macros Forum.

2.1 undocumented changes
Even with such massive documentation, it turns out there are still undocumented and under-documented changes on the 2.1 PTRs. For instance, specific numbers have been discovered on a few things that were left vague: Circle of Healing now heals for an extra 25 HP at max rank (5% more) Primal Nethers cost 12 Badges of Justice Also, there are now gladiator weapons for healers! Via World of Ming: Gladiator's Gavel (Mace) Main Hand 23-108 Damage (1.6 speed) 40.7 DPS +24 Stamina +16 Intellect Equip: +16 Resilience Equip: +187 Spell damage and healing Gladiator's Salvation (Mace) Main Hand 23-108 Damage (1.6 speed) 40.7 DPS +24 Stamina +16 Intellect Equip: +16 Resilience Equip: +348 Healing spells Gladiator's Repreive (Off-hand) +21Stamina +13 Intellect Equip: +14 Resilience Equip: +31 Healing spells What undocumented changes have you found?
Stuck with the auto-unstuck cooldown
In the 2.0.12 patch notes, there was a little surreptitious note that seemed pretty tame: "Using the customer support 'Auto-Unstuck' will now trigger the one-hour cooldown on the player's hearthstone." Whenever your character model gets stuck in the world, you can enter the help menu, and choose an "Auto-Unstuck" option that was placed there early in the game's life (so that GMs wouldn't have to come along every time a player got stuck to fix the issue).What "Auto-Unstuck" actually does is (after a little tweaking to try and get you out close to where you are) port you back to your hearthstone city. I think I've used it once the whole time I've been playing the game. But apparently there was no cooldown on it at all, so what lots of players were doing is using it as a second hearthstone. I knew the possibility was there, but apparently I underestimated players' usage of it-- tons of people were "exploiting" the feature, and now lots of people, both here in America and in Europe, are angry that the hearthstone cooldown is tied to Auto-Unstuck.If you ask me, it's nothing to get angry about-- the Auto-Unstuck, as Drysc says, is a support feature, and any constant use of it to cut down on travel time indeed "bordered on exploitative use." Players reply that a second hearthstone helped them save travel time (well of course it did), but Drysc says that the devs want the world to feel like a world-- though they've made steps (like Meeting Stones) to cut down on travel, they never wanted players to move around "without any thought to the distance they have to travel."I gotta side with Blizzard on this one-- they gave you one hearthstone, and using Auto-Unstuck as a second one is against the rules. Some players say that the common cooldown means that if they get stuck twice in the same hour, they're screwed, but that's not necessarily true. A nice warlock could always summon you away, or you could do what one of my groups did to a guy who got stuck in Underbog-- we let him die and then rezzed him back out in the open.
The strange style of patch notes, real and fake
I don't know if you could call this "Guide to Writing Fake Patch Notes" hilarious, but I think it is at least chuckleworthy. Flibble of Draenor (the realm, not the shattered world) has put together a quick guide on how to trick sites exactly like this one into believing your patch notes. And in doing so, he hits upon some of Blizzard's more conspicuous quirks, i.e. that you should "at least try to glance at the Under Development page, so that you can convincingly lie about the things Blizzard convincingly lies about on their website."He also notes that every patch includes at least one change to a Mage spell icon (well, there are just so many of them), adding "several new items and recipes" that don't really exist, and has (faked, of course) bugfixes that "preferentially affect the 0.1% of WoW players who make no contribution to society [and] live in mom's basement at age 37." See what I mean? Chuckleworthy.Truth be told, I really like the way patch notes are written. I'm not sure who writes them (I doubt it's an actual dev, but it has to be someone associated with the dev team), but they are both formal and at the same time seem to have a lot of cool mystery and design behind them. Caydiem hit on this note to extremely comic effect with her fake patch notes (I like that the grass in enemy faction zones is "exceptionally green"), but even the real patch notes read like a kind of otherworldly poetry: "Cabal Zealots are now more threatening while under the effect of Shape of the Beast." To players who know what they're talking about, they import a very technical message. But for someone who doesn't know about that section of the game or the game itself, that's a pretty mysterious statement. As a student of audience and media, I find patch notes pretty fascinating.
Leaked 2.1.0 patch notes?
Without any official word, who's to say whether these patch notes, posted on MMO-CHAMPION are legit or not. However, they include a number of features that we know are planned for 2.1.0, such as: The release of the Black Temple A battlegrounds matching system The re-valuing of sockets on items The change to warlock's succubus pet's seduce ability An engineering revamp A new LFG system This adds some reliability to these patch notes, but, there are some quite unexpected things in these notes, as well -- read on for more details.Update: Keep reading if you like, but, yep, these are fake. (Some people clearly have too much time on their hands!)
New beta notes (and Shaman spell)
Curse Gaming has posted the unofficial notes of the newest patch (2.0.3) on the beta BC servers, and in among the newness (Ore stacks to 20, Elite quests renamed to "Group" quests) is a nice little tidbit for Shammies like myself: a new spell called "Totemic Recall."That's right, we can finally, finally remove our totems from the ground. Shaman have been asking for this for a long time-- totems grab aggro and have a short lifespan, so anytime a patrol happens to run by a totem you've left in your wake, your group gains an add, and it heads straight for you. Not so bad if you're Enhancement, not so great if you're the main healer in an instance. There are ways around it right now; whenever I see a totem in the way of an oncoming mob currently, I can just drop a totem of the same element in an out-of-the-way place, and it removes the first one (because you can't have more than one totem at a time down from a certain element).But the problem with that is it takes mana to put another totem down, and considering mana is at such a premium with us already, it's a pain. That's why Totemic Recall is so neat: every time you hit it (no cooldown in the notes-- if you're in the beta, please let me know what it is in the comments below), it'll clear all your totems, and refund you 25% of the mana you spent putting them down. Gets rid of the totems and returns a small part of the mana to you-- now that's productive.Of course, insert standard disclaimer about how these are beta notes and we may never see this spell in the game. But as a Shaman who needs to clean up his totems every once in a while, I sure hope we do.
More beta expansion changes
The latest beta patch has come down with some interesting changes. As usual, some of them are good, some of them are unbelievably good, and some of them will make you want to cry. My thoughts: rogues have come out nicely, if the unofficial notes are to be believed. And by "nicely" I mean "my main is now a rogue!" Also in the patch and not in the notes -- a couple of warlock nerfs. You may check out Nethaera's official notes and Idejder's unofficial notes, or read on to see both.
Unlisted 2.0.1 changes
And now it's time for the 2.0.1 changes that didn't quite make it into the patch notes, courtesy of the World of Raids forums. I've listed the interesting ones, but if you're the sort that needs every last detail, hop on over to the complete list at World of Raids. Escape artist is now an instant cast. Blood Fury also increases spell damage depending on your class. Increases ranged and melee damage for hunters. The Looking For Group Channel has been removed. The Quest log has been expanded to hold 25 quests. All hunter pets have been normalized to a 2.0 speed. *unconfirmed* Warlock's Spellstones and Firestones can be equipped in the Wand slot. Many profession that used to require a recipe, plan, etc, to learn are now trainable by the corresponding profession trainer. (No, we don't have any details on which.) Spells automatically update on your action bar when new ranks are purchased. A hunter's Arcane Shot benefits more from ranged attack power. *unconfirmed* Four new bank slots! And an extra bag slot that costs 25g to purchase. New quests have been added throughout the zones. Including various Draenei and Blood Elf camps. Many new items have been added to various vendors, including jewelcrafting plans. All class specific spell books that previously dropped in dungeons are now trainable at level 60. Players can change their title from a drop down menu to show their highest PvP rank next to their name.
Patch 1.12: Undocumented Changes
Another patch, and another set of changes that didn't quite make it into the patch notes. Of course, everything on the test realms is subject to change, but as it stands, this is what you will find on the test realms. This list seems to be updated regularly, so if you aren't planning on playing on the test realms, check back often to see what's happening. Most controversial of these changes seems to be a battlegrounds change that automatically adds everyone to a group upon entering a battleground - a group they cannot leave. As a healer, I am always glad to have a group in battlegrounds in order to be better able to monitor my group's health and step in as needed - but to those who preferred to gain maximum honor per kill by attacking battlegrounds ungrouped, this is the end of the battlegrounds system.
Patch 1.12: PTR and Patch Notes
The number of available character transfers to the test realm reset sometime Friday evening - usually a sign that the public test realms are coming online soon. The rumors flying around on the forums garnered an official response from Tseric, who said that efforts were made to get the PTR online Friday, but it was likely to be pushed back until Monday. However, a lucky group of people were, apparently, able to download the new patch and find patch notes for it. I know you're curious, so read on for all the details.
Undocumented Changes in Patch 1.11
It seems that, with every new patch, there are always a few changes that, for one reason or another, don't make the release notes. But never fear, Blizzard won't be able to pull the wool over your eyes once you check out this list of undocumented changes in 1.11, compiled by the folks at WorldofWar.net. Nothing extremely signifigant was left unnoted, it seems, but there are plenty of little tidbits that are very helpful to know relating to specific quests, factions, and other things. Check out the list at their forums, and be sure to add anything you might have found, as well!
Undocumented 1.11 Patch Notes
For every change in a patch, there's a dozen others that never quite made it into the patch notes. Perhaps they were forgotten at the last minute or perhaps they were considered too trivial to note, but there's always something missing. This thread, helpfully compiled by Greatness of Gorefiend server, is a list of all known changes that didn't make it into the patch notes - though it may not yet be comprehensive.
Today's Patch Notes
The patch notes for today's bug fix patch are available for your reading pleasure. Rogues especially will applaud the bug fixes and other than that, nothing seems particularly surprising. The patch should be live on all US servers, which seem to be happily back online. Log on and enjoy!
Fake Patch 1.11 Notes?
There are some odd and interesting patch notes floating around recently, initially showing up on a Chinese fan site. With the quality of the English translation, it's difficult to understand what some of the items in the notes are trying to say, and thus difficult to come to a solid conclusion as to their validity. However, you can look over a translation here and come to your own conclusions. Personally, I lean towards them being myth - CM Tyren has already coming out claiming as much, and with real leaks, threads on the topic tend to mysteriously disappear.
More April Fool's... 1.11 Patch Notes!
Well, it's official - I'm rolling a Gnome druid in 1.11! Caydiem has been running around the forums posting 1.11 patch notes, and all I can say is that they're utterly hilarious and you really must read them for yourself. I warn against trying to read them if you happen to be surfing at work right now - it's hard to help laughing. [Thanks, Saba]
