2.2 Patch Notes - Changes

[Maticus]

If you find any discrepancies in the official notes for patch 2.2, please list them and give a description in this thread, cheers :smiley:

Update on when we should be expecting voice chat:
We have recently revised our schedule for the activation of voice chat following the patch release. On patch day, all realms will launch with voice chat disabled. This is to allow for any further testing or changes that may be required. The following day we will enable voice chat on the realms listed below. With further testing at that point, and should things go smoothly, we will enable voice chat the following day on additional realms, or potentially all realms. This schedule is of course likely to change should the testing periods show any issues that will require additional time to resolve.
The list of realms can be seen here (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=1602361123&postId=16020672285&sid=1#0).

It should be noted that there has been no change to the statement (http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=771637167&sid=1&pageNo=1) issued in regards to when the voice chat will be enabled on the EU realms.

The Disenchant spell now has a new icon, and, I think, a new tooltip.

Items sold on the Auction House now have a 1 hour wait period before the gold can be collected from the mail. :cry:

They mentioned that some problems started to occur like lag in mails. Maybe that is the one!

A new "ToS" accept: termination of service or something like that. It explicitly lists what can get you banned.

No, you get a mail saying that the Sale is Pending, you have to wait an hour before you get the cash. This is to give time for Blizzard to verify that the sale is legit. Basically some gold sellers use the AH to transfer gold to the buyer.
The buyer sticks a grey item up on the AH for the amount of gold they are buying. The change makes things a little trickier for them now and inconvenient for us.
Note: this does not affect you if you are buying the item, this arrives as expected.

Daze change never made it into the Patch. Notes still say it did.
Blessing of Sacrifice Cooldown is incorrectly listed as 1 minute, it is 30 seconds.

Macros: there have been many changes to the macro engine which result in things breaking or not acting as they did before.
Example:It has been reported that mouseover targetting behaviour has changed, if there is no valid target your own character will no longer be the target.
Caps in things like #showtooltip, ie ShowToolTip no longer work.

There are a whole slew of item bugs being reported over at EJ, some are player friendly, some are just broken.
