from what i noticed last night in our raid:

stronger renews are no longer having effects cancelled from weaker ones, even if the rank is the exact same.

last night in our raid, we had 2 priests with rank 10 renew (myself and another). he whispered me saying that he was getting the "a more powerful spell is already active" message when trying to override my renew.

i did not look into this very very deeply but if anyone can confirm this change i'd say it's a pretty big one for priests :)

and makes us heal power priests a bit happier!

A change in the safe zone for Heigan the Unclean.

It makes sense because that first middle zone always felt a bit small to me.

edit : fixed links.

Changes or bugs? :)

A minor one is that they apparently managed to switch the bug that put Warlocks into combat for a few seconds after summoning their Dreadsteed to Paladins when they summon their Chargers.

All the adds on Gluth will despawn now when he dies.

And I believe warriors in Zerker stance won't die on decimates during Gluth either.

It appears that summoning a Charger is considered a hostile action and the guards will respond accordingly. I'm not sure if the same happens with Summon Dreadsteed.

Uh... hrm. So if your buff hasn't been refreshed in a while and you have 5 sec on it, run away until you get assigned a new charge?

That's just odd.

Sounds like a bug. :(

For a human paladin In Stormwind? :unsure:

Eh, it didn't happen before the patch so its either an unintentional bug spilling over from them trying to fix whatever was wrong for the warlocks and/or they changed a flag on summon spells so that they count as being in combat some how. I'm there will be a mighty whine arising from the affected masses about it soon enough. :)

It is nice the Broodlord terrain exploit is finally fixed (good change for those people cheating). I remember Tigole saying it would be fixed many months ago.

Alliance PvP queues were shortened (at least yesterday it was) ;).

Supposedly C'Thun can eyebeam anyone as soon as he does the first combat pulse. Making the run-in so much fun. (Haven't personally confirmed).

We had Anub jump up about 30 feet in the air and stay there until the tank changed position. We assumed it was code to prevent him from evading. Edit: Apparently he still evades, it was just a bug.

One of our paladins had a fun little run-in with the guards at Light Hope's Chapel.

Possibly, we didnt get to try more after we realised this as arthas died on us... hopefully it will get fixed before we try go at him again rather than having people run away from the raid in case they dont get a debuff. :/

The idea behind the debuff not being re-applied would seem to have been a way to lessen the lag factor of this fight, but it seems if you get like 3 negative in a row you would be owned... cant believe they wouldnt even have tried this fix before putting it up :(

I'm pretty sure this got fixed 3 weeks ago

Oops- I meant in neutral cities (LHC, Cenarion Hold, etc).

No, there were still safe spots -- we just didn't use them. I think that in 1.12 they made the splash zones overlap slightly to fix this issue, effectively narrowing the area in which it's safe stand on each step of the cycle.

Could anyone elaborate on the Thaddius changes for those of us who haven't done the encounter and would want to understand the implications without heavy spoilers?

Does this basically mean that they have changed encounter design to fix/reduce the lag issues at the encounter but that it appears to be bugged and cause luck-based wipes until it gets a slight extra tweak?

Tigole has posted on R&D to say they're looking into Thaddius issues (also pre-C'Thun trash).

It doesn't sound like a fix, more like a bug. I don't see how not having a charge and getting hit with the damage you would get by the group when you don't have the polarity would help at all with lag. At least that is what I am reading into what has been said about this change/bug/whatever it is. Last time I did Thaddius was two weeks ago so I haven't seen him post patch.

To compensate for that it almost seems you would have to form a triangle as opposed to two sides of him.

pre 1.12 you get a debuff that last 1minute applied to you ever 30seconds, positive or negative. If you are negative and get negative again after 30s, buff gets refreshed, if you get positive, the negative buff goes away and positive for 1min gets applied.

post-1.12 you get a debuff that last 1minute applied to you. if you stay the same sign, the debuff does not get refreshed... another 30s pass, your debuff fades away and if you dont get a new one you're dead.

When neutral you get hit by people around you just like if you were the opposite side, but you dont hit them back.


This new way does reduce the lag effect as half the raid does not get their debuff changed thus with this new way, half the raid does not get their debuff updated... side effect is too big tho.

http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...-bugs&t=169865 Has the known issues.

Some notable ones: Says TF's slow effect is incorrect and the 4 piece Plaguheart set bonus is not applying to corruption, and in EPL you get interrupted when drinking/eating (existed on the PTR).

Best of all however-
