You can check out the full patch notes for Patch 2.4.2 here, but if you were wondering about things that didn't make the official notes, here's all that's known so far:


General


  • Human Female weapons are bigger, they now match the size they are when sheathed.
  • Male Blood Elf Rogues have had their animation improved while stealthed.


Hunter


  • There is still a bug with Growl that is allowing it to scale with some pet attack power buffs as well as the hunter's attack power. This will be fixed in a future patch.
  • Scare Beast still has a 1.5 second cast time, and is not instant as indicated on the tooltip. The tooltip will be corrected in a future patch.
  • Frost trap seems to have a new visual effect.


Mage


  • Alliance Mage trainer, Horace Alder, has been added. He is located in Theramore's tower on the floor below . The new Portal trainer, Ysuria is on the ground floor.
  • The new Portal Trainer, Lorrin Foxfire, is located on the ground floor of the large building in the middle of Stonnard.
  • Water Elementals now leave a corpse behind when they despawn (Probably a bug). The corpse is not resurrectable.


Rogue



Shaman


  • Fixed bug where it was possible to kill people with the Fire Nova Totem by logging out as it's exploding.

Items



User Interface


  • The combat log now shows players' deaths again
  • Chat filters now work correctly
  • Sending an \n to chat now results in an emote being sent instead: "<player> says something unintelligible.". This no longer logs players straight out.

  • Quel'danas murlocs now make the Bloodlust sound when you throw the orbs at them, not the usual murloc agro noise


World Environment


  • Windy Clouds have been fixed to make sure most of them can be reached
