Yep, apparently it was fix to stop a strat some guilds were using on H 25 where you'd have the last two people targeted with raging spirit kill themselves and be battle rez'd so you enter the vile spirit/frostmourne phase with no adds up.

My realm went down yesterday so I couldn't test it out thoroughly, but when I equipped my [Argent Crusader's Tabard] it did not start the cooldown on equipping, so I could use its teleport right away.

If my old eyes are correct, there is also a "new" graphic for Warlocks Rain of Fire.

Kevinally · 03/26/10, 1:36 PM

The Magma Armor graphic has also been slightly changed. It was darkened, and looks more like lava, less like a malformed ball of fire.

On another note, did anyone notice BQL's air phases change again? I thought it was a fluke in the 25man, but now the 10man seems to have a similar result. Normally, I could use the human racial during the first air phase and just barely get to use it at the 2nd air phase. Now, it seems the second air phase is coming 15-20 seconds earlier in the 25man and 10 seconds earlier in the 10man.

From first glance, the change makes it so that there is no advantage/disadvantage for delaying or instantly using the bite.

The Cheat · 03/26/10, 3:09 PM

The air phases were coming on the exact same timer for us last night, didn't seem to notice a change at all.

Exemplar · 03/26/10, 3:41 PM

No changes noticed on Wednesday.

Since updating Blood Queen's timer I've never been able to racial out of both in 10 or 25 - the second occurs about 10-15 seconds before cooldown ends in 25 (unsure of precise timing in 10). If you don't delay the first bite, then the second occurs during flight phase. I know for certain because someone new was bit first, did not delay, and our second bite was MCed trying to not kill people by running over them during bloodbolts. I have not done 10 yet this week, so cannot comment if that may have altered.

It's impossible to buy stuff on the AH (with blizz UI) with one click. Now there's a pop-up confirmation box for auctions with same bid and buyout price.

Repaxan · 03/27/10, 4:50 PM

Blackrock Mountain is mountable now.

A flipside of the ability for any party member to mark targets - you can now mark targets when not in a group.

Particularly handy with npcscan.

I can't verify this but it certainly feels like the clouds on dreamwalker have had their burst range increased and pop a hell of allot easier now.

Has anyone else noticed that Tiger Lilies have been buffed to roughly the size of a male tauren?

Yes, it was confirmed by a Blue. (Source: World of Warcraft - English (NA) Forums -> [BUG] Scary huge tiger lilies D:)

Also, if you join a group in progress, you'll be teleported to the group. (I'm assuming if the group is spread around the instance, you get teleported to the Dungeon Guide)

Sounds like a safe bet. An average of the group coords (x, y AND z) within the instance would've been so much more fun though :P

If you get an Oculus in progress, you will arrive at the entrance. No doubt to prevent any fun moments like being on Eregos's platform without a drake.

When I was brought into Oculus last week I was ported to the group and had to get a drake by porting out and back in. If you go to the entrance now then I guess that is something they recently fixed.

Weekly quests (raid and Wintergrasp) appear to be resetting on Wednesdays in EU now - at least not on Tuesdays anymore, as we haven't received new ones today.

For the last 2 weeks on Dunemaul-EU they were resetting on both Tuesday and Wednesday.

edit: Ah, sorry, missed it in the notes then (especially if it wasn't in the very first ones of the PTR as later ones I tend to just skim through)

Hardly an undocumented change. It was the first bullet point under "Dungeons & Raids":

All weekly quests will now reset during each region's scheduled maintenance, rather than at a single global time.

You may now receive the Hero of Shattrath feat of strength by having done it in the past and owning both tabbards.

There's likely some other criteria that credits it as well, such as learned profession skills due to the fact that I received credit for it without owning both tabards. In fact, the last time I had either tabard was prior to the 3.0 patch.

Maranora · 03/31/10, 5:38 PM

No idea how recent this is, but stuff you sell to a vendor can now be bought back after going through a "loading screen" (eg from one continent to another, etc), and even after "a significant while" of being logged out (certainly more than the 15 minute "summoned stuff disappears" time).

CptnTriscuit · 03/31/10, 7:48 PM

(3.3.3) -A stone texture used throughout Stormwind (and on many Alliance buildings in the old world) has been updated with a new texture image.

♦ Blacksen · 04/03/10, 11:11 PM

Possibly a stealth nerf or just a bug, but we did LK 10man and got only 3 raging spirits in the 2nd transition instead of the normal 4.

Flurry · 04/08/10, 5:10 PM

Re #223. Bug. We got the normal number of Raging Spirits last night.
