2.1 PTR Patch notes...

[thatbloke]

Right then. The Public Test Realm (PTR) is now up, and the patch notes for this can be found on the US forums here. They will be put up on the European site shortly, I am led to believe. There is ALOT here, so get your reading glasses on!!!!!!!

EDIT: The patch notes are now up properly on the EU WoW PTR site here. You may find this a little easier for reading!

Well...

1) Screenshots captured using the Print Screen key are now saved in JPG format. !!!

2) Fixed a data error that caused "Swiftmend" to generate more threat than intended. [I use that all the time possibly explaining my occasional high threat.]

3) You can now unspecialize in tailoring and leatherworking, and then select a new specialization. This is a repeatable choice, but costs gold each time. w00t

4) Players who feign death no longer appear dead to party and raid members and friendly spells will not be interrupted. [THANK THA LAWD!]

5) While flying or swimming the 'X' key will now make you move down. YES!!!

That was a lorra lorra reading.

It would appear that the bonage is please...

For me... I'm *very* happy. Engineering buff. Hunter's Mark buff. Masses of new stuff. General shinyness. Oh yes, I am happy indeed.

"Monsters will now attack players who are mining mineral nodes near to them, even if they didn't notice them previously."

That is just annoying, I hate it when creatures interupt my mining efforts >.<

 

[Windzarko]

So very very true...

There are a few annoying things in there, but overall I think it'll be an awesome patch!

 

[SgtFury]

That is the biggest patch i have seen in ages .
Something for everyone there.

Undocumented change: polymorph no longer gives the victim enhanced health regen whilst they are under the effect of the spell

However, maximum PvP Polymorph tme is now 8 seconds with diminishing returns (so people can't just repeatedly polymorph someone then do a long cast time ability in between each sheeping)
