2.1 undocumented changes?

[swaldman]

I haven't seen any of these appear yet... yes I know the servers are down for Europe, but you US players must have stuff to tell us? Or are you all too busy playing....:grin:

[LucidSpirit]

Yeah US cousins tell, tell, pleaze!!!

How about flask of distilled wisdom no longer buffing Mana by 2k but INT by 2k (for 30k+ Mana). Fancy trying to grind down a pally or even worse, a mage with one of those little beauties active?

*g* Yes, and who needs 100% illumination when you have a 45% crit chance from all that int ;-)

[Hannable]

Wow WTH thats awesome but i bet there just skrewed up big time and will change that in the next day or so.

[Wolfwyrd]

Yeah, looks like they altered it to affect int rather than mana (new flask should be +65 int vs. the old +2k mana) but never got round to changing the number. Ah well, fun while it lasts.

I apologize if these were in the patch notes, I just glanced over them. But last night I noticed:

Death Coil has a new animation. It's a swirly green shot instead of the shadowbolt animation.

As a warlock, your currently summoned pet appears behind you on the character login screen. I imagine it does for hunters too.

It seemed like the Shadowbolt was slightly changed too. It somehow seemed...darker. Like they took a bit of the purple/blue/green smoke trail out of it.

Every spell that requires a reagent shows how much of that reagent you currently have on the spell key. For instance, Shadowburn requires a soul shard, and my shadowburn button shows how many shards I have.

The option screen has an option to automatically dismount you when you go to an FP and take a gryphon flight.

This was in the patch notes, but the warlock pets de-summoning when you mount and re-summoning when you dismount is AWESOME, and working perfectly. It even re-buffs my soul link, demonic knowledge, and master demonologist upon dismount.

Draenei Males got a new portrait, and Draenei and Elekks now leave hoofprints. I've noticed that.

And Hunter pets have been appearing behind the hunter on the character select screen for a while now.

The Reagents listed on hotkeys as also in the patch notes.

Opposing unflagged faction no longer display red name plates.

The portal in the mage tower in sw no longer has a load screen.

It's hard to tell whether you're being attacked or healed when a priest uses pom...

[Ovda]

Druids no longer can perform skinning in flight form :(

[Beruen]

Fel Strength Elixir changed to 90 AP, down from 120 if I remember correctly, though no promises on that.

[swaldman]

All of the Paladin seals and blessings got new animations (again). They're pretty :-)

[Rysteranch]

Skinning is a lot faster!

[moopy]

Objects in your bags... argh!

Things vanish, things appear. The EU realms apparently never got the restacking bug, but last night a guildie had a heroic badge vanish when he zoned. I gained a stack of blue halaani grimshot. Given that I use a bow, there's no way that I could have just overlooked them, I simply don't own bullets. Other people reported things appearing or vanishing from bags too. We also had random buff vanishing problems, and raid markings vanishing completely or only from some mobs (it varied).

Yes, these aren't documented because they're ugly bugs on the way to the ball- not features.

Oh, shammy class colouring for names has changed. It's no longer mage/baby blue. It's more of a #0000FF/navy blue now.

[Azmyth]

loot in chests is now rolled for like all the rest of drops.. no more rolling for the chest, and winner getting entire contents... looting a chest now spawns the "need or greed" window for any uncommon items.

[Elessil]

When following a character that is close to you you will walk instead of running to them, only when they get a bit further away will your char start running to catch up.

Also, if you're mounted and following someone on foot, your speed will match your target's. IE, you'll be riding at run speed for example.

Didn't test how an epic mount behaves when following someone on a regular mount but I imagine it will follow the target at the regular mount speed.

Guess Conga lines just got a decent buff. :P

I've had undocumented changes of the program just randomly crashing. It crashed about 4 times last night. And after your crash a window pops up asking you to describe what you were doing. The last time, I got fed up, and just wrote "I was killing a mob, when are you gonna fix the program?"

[Big Guns]

I discovered last night an undocumented change in 2.1. (Well at least I think it is undocumented.)

Ever since I have started to run Shattered Halls we always bypassed the mobs guarding the passageway through the slimes to the first boss. Run to the green zone/ledge and they stop pursuing.

Not any more.

Even jumping down to the slime-way is no escape. They go through the boss' room and jump you. Wipe.

As it turns out it is no biggie really as we were able to easily take them out once we rezzed. It would have been nice to know that you could no longer bypass them though. It will certainly be harder for newly minted 70's however.

Web links (or what the game thinks are web links) in chat are now clickable - it opens a chat edit box and pastes it there, so you can select and copy it.

Hmm. Maybe I should spend this evening zoning, in the hope that some shiny epics might appear..... :cloud9:

I dont know if this is documented or not but Mark of Segeras and Fel Armanents drop rate seems to have plummeted. I trind grinding these for an hour and I was getting 1/4 of what i was before the patch for the marks and no Fel Armanents at all.

Anyone else experience this?

[Tomar]

Not sure if this is new, but I had my mage in Tanaris killing pirates and I never knew until i noticed my health bar dropping that someone was shooting me. There was no sound or animation. Don't recall it being like that when I brought my main through there Xmonths ago.

I did a Slabs run last night and about 6 - 8 fel armaments dropped. 3 alone in Murmurs room. That is the most I have ever seen in one run. Of course I did not win one of them...

[Inocs]

Priests animations for Fade, Inner Focus and Prayer of Mending has been changed. Prayer of Mending shoots out to the target, fade gets some strange blurry blueish thinga around the caster for a few seconds, same thing with inner focus.
