2.2 Undocumented 'Features'

Nite_Moogle · 09/25/07, 9:59 AM

The change to Daze in regards to how it treats defense is still in the patch notes despite a CM post last week that said it was pulled never to return. Hopefully it's the notes that are wrong and it really was pulled from this build, or positioning is going to suck real bad.

One of the MvP's bumped the blue post about the defense/daze thing not going in here - WoW general forums

Probably Blizzard just forgot to change the patch notes.

Edit: Jesus Christ that thread is inane.

Ignore the patch notes, they're quite incorrect. They also list BoSac as having a 1 minute cooldown, even though it was changed to 30 seconds about a month or so ago on the PTR.

My first thought was "wtf, this thread is thin," however, I'm sure we'll see some other fun undocumented changes when we get more people playing.

Give it a chance to breathe.

The reduction of the chance for mace spec to proc wasn't mentioned in the notes. (Not sure if it made it to Live, or if it was hotfixed.)

Kalgan said that's part of the class changes stated for 2.3

I'm seeing a trend of the official release patch notes being the same as either the original PTR test notes, or the notes from the latest PTR build, which they stopped updating at least a month ago. Anything that's been changed or reverted since then likely isn't in the official catalogue.

How about documented features that are unknown at this time? Such as-

* Hyjal trash's loot, and if ghouls can eat corpses that carry loot.

* Changes to High Astromancer Solarian.

* Changes to Kael (phase one at least).

* Arena calculations change.

* How do the loot tables work with SSC/TK bosses all dropping three items each?

* How was the trash changed in SSC/TK (specifically how deadly is the Acid Spray, Virulent Poison, Arcane Flurry, and Frost Attack)?

*LMFAO*

Apparently Scarab Lords turn into giant bugs when they mount on their Legendary mounts, and can fly around a bit.

Always wondered why it gave free 225 flying skill.

Just so nobody thinks I was fibbing earlier. This is a short video of the bugged [Black Qiraji Resonating Crystal] my guildmate experienced. =o

Any proof of that claim?

That's awesome

wonder if they remembered to flag it not to work in arena

Despite being on one of the servers that was supposed to have VC activated, I can't find anything concerning it in any of the options menus.

I second that request. For...no... obvious reason.

Of note -- the Daze mechanic change is not listed in the patch notes posted by Nethaera in the General Forums sticky. Of course, based on historical lessons taught by Blizzard revision control, it needs to be verified on the live servers.

Rogues' ability to stealth farm chests in the Mechanar has been nerfed by changing the positions of the chests and an apparent alteration to the mechanics of Vanish.

My guildmate who has the title ninja logged, but we have a 2nd one on the server, I'll see if I can get him to pose.
