2.3 Undocumented Changes

Suppose we should kick off the usual thread, not been able to copy a charachter yet due to the flaky charachter copy page but anyway.

General


Griftah has moved back to Shattrah, he now sells the reagent for engineering mount and offers a quest to Zul'Aman
The Boat from Theramore to Menethil is now named "The Lady Mehley", with full scripted crew, cook, and vendors.
Human Racial has been change: Mace Specialization and Sword Specialization changed to provide 1% extra critical strike chance to 1h, 2h mace and swords.


Items


Spellhaste and Mystic Skyfire Diamond affect Evocation
Mystic Skyfire Diamond has a ~45sec hidden cooldown
Mystical Skyfire Diamond: Buff changed from 10 sec to 6 sec
Tier 5 Paladin Raiment set bonuses changed:
set: Your judgements grant 50 mana to your party
set: Your Flash of Light critical hits have a chance to reduce Holy Light's casting time by 0.50 seconds for 10 seconds. 1 minute cooldown


Hunter


Disarming shot, cost 6% base mana, cd 1 minute, range 35 yards. Disarms an opponent for 10 seconds.


Mage


Ritual of Refreshment: costs 1 portal rune, 5min cd, 50 charges, each charges gives 20 mana cookies


Raids and Instances


Tempest Keep now has its own music.
Zul'Aman event works as follows, you start a 20 minute cooldown by talking to a guy at entrance, you then have 20 minutes to kill the first boss. If you kill him within the time limit a prisoner is saved and opens a chest containing and additional loot, you then have 20 minutes countdown started to kill the second boss and so on. If you wipe while the timers going the boss wont respawn, if you fail one of the timer stages you can never get the extra loot from following bosses.

UI

Additional NPC tracking and symbols are availble for the minimap.

Just got my hunter to 10... the dots we see when tracking are different colors for humanoids, neutral beasts, etc. i don't have a gathering prof on that char so i don't know if those dots are still yellow or not.

my xfers are pending, when i can get my 70 over there i'll check all that out.

Latest changes:

General

* The video options menu has been redesigned.
* In Racial abilities, Weapon Expertise has replaced crit for Humans and Orcs
* The title "Champion of the Naaru" doesn't stack with PvP titles

PvP

* Completing the Mines objectives give your faction reinforcements in Alterac Valley

Graphical/UI

* Quest givers and objective NPCs now show up on your minimap as either a yellow "!" or "?"
* Classes now have their own colours on the Guild Roster page.
* Interactive items in the world, such as Mineral Veins or Herbs, now have a glow around them to make them more visible.

Professions

Mining

* The Primal and Mote versions of Fire and Earth can now be placed in Mining Bags

Enchanting

* The Primal and Mote versions of Water, Mana and Life can now be placed in Enchanting bags.

Engineering

* All Primals and Motes including Primal Nethers, can be placed in Engineering toolboxes.

JewelCrafting

* Mercurial Stone can now be placed in Gem Bags.

Mounts

* The purple glow around Netherdrakes now trail behind them as they move.

World Environment

* Taxi Boats and Zeppelins are now populated with NPC crews, soften including food and drink vendors, and repair vendors.
* The boat between Teldrassil and Darkshore that leads to the Feathermoon Stronghold is now a Night Elf ship instead of a Human one.

Sound

* The music in The Temple Of The Moon in Darnassuss has been changed.
* The "Sound at Character" is now on by default, and the option has been removed from sound settings.
* There is new music in Dwarven and Night Elf Inns.
* There are 14 new pieces of music inside Karazhan.

Items

* MSD Buff now lasts 5 seconds as opposed to 10 seconds.
* MSD now affects Evocation.
* The Twin Blades of Azzinoth now have a hidden cooldown of 45 seconds.
* Dartol's Rod of Transformation can no longer be cast when moving.

Instances

Black Temple: Shade of Akama

* Shade of Akama's adds do not cast the channeling spell to hold him in place, now, he just goes straight to Akama as soon as you engage him, and you can kill him in 20-30 secs (shortest boss encounter ever).

Hellfire Citadel : Heroic Ramparts

* The Vazruden/Nazan chest in Heroic Hellfire Ramparts is bugged.
If all the item rolls are decided and the chest becomes "empty", the chest despawns. People who didn't opened it before all the rolls got decided won't be able to loot their Badges of Justice.

Tempest Keep: Void Reaver

* Void Reaver now "lobs" his orbs instead of shooting them in a straight line. Makes them a tad harder to see.

Tempest Keep : Heroic Mechanar

* Same Problem as in HFC: HRamparts.

Classes

Druids

* Druids can decurse while in Tree form.

Hunters

* Dead zone has been removed. Hunters range is now 5-35 (41 with talents) yards.
* It seems that it is no longer possible for a Hunter to have Freezing trap applied to 2 or more targets at the same time.

Paladins

* Fanaticism doesn't reduce threat while Righteous Fury is active

Priests

* On-damaged effects, such as Prayer of Mending, will no longer proc on periodic damage that is absorbed.
* Shadow Priests can use costume effects while still in shadow form. Eg. Savory Deviate Delights

Mages

* Ice Block will no longer freeze players mid air.

Shamans

* T6 Restoration Shaman gear currently has no token cost. This issue is known to Blizzard and will be fixed very soon.
* The coefficient change on Chain Lightning/Lightning Bolt (as not to nerf Ele Shaman DPS).

Pre 2.3, there was no underside graphics for robes (such as when swimming you could see through your body to the water ahead of you). Now, no more peep show into the void!

Druid: There is now a sound associated with shifting OUT of a form, whereas in 2.2 you only made the requisite noise when shifting INTO your forms.

WHAT?!

Can anybody else not stuck at work verify this?
Surely not intended - this would be a major change and would surely make it into the patch notes...
