Информация по патчам и вносимым ими изменениям в игре

В этой теме я постараюсь выложить максимальное количество информации о патчах которые были на классике и изменениях которые они вносили в игровой процесс. Естественно, спустя столько лет, это сделать будет достаточно сложно. Сложность в первую очередь составляет именно изменения вносимые с патчами. Общую "выжимку" найти не сложно, но вот более подробную информацию, о том какие способности, таланты или навыки профессии изменялись, какие нпс и квесты были добавлены в игру, тут 100% точности уже ни кто не сможет гарантировать. Но это и не настолько важно. В теме буду публиковать общее описание патча "выжимку" и под спойлером более полную информацию о всех изменениях.
Не смотря на то, что наш сервер позиционируется как "progresive content", то-есть сервер с постепенным открытием контента, мы естественно не сможем с каждым патчем вводить 100% изменений что делались близами в ваниле. Если вы играете с клиента 1.12.1 то не смотря на текущий патч на сервере, вам все равно будут доступны локации которых в этом патче на официальном сервере не было. Вы можете найти клиент текущей версии сервера, что бы добиться максимального соответствия исторической части игры. Так же, не смотря на версию патча на сервере, все заклинания и таланты будут соответствовать последним изменениям на официальном сервере. Это не касается способностей питомцев охотников, их способности будут изменяться с введением новых патчей.

Большая часть информации содержащейся под спойлером взята с сайта Wowpedia. Так же она на оригинальном языке (английском). Язык сохранен для большей достоверности информации. Вы можете в любой момент воспользоваться встроенной функцией браузера и перевести текст страницы на нужный вам язык.




Патч 1.1.0

1.1.0.jpg


О патче 1.1.0 в принципе сказать особо нечего. Это именно тот вариант игры, которую впервые увидели все игроки после окончания бета теста и запуска серверов в открытом режиме. Все изменения, находящиеся под спойлером показывают лишь то, что было введено в релизную версию игры по сравнению с бета тестем.

Patch 1.1.0 was the version of the game during the North America release of World of Warcraft.

Major Changes​

(detailed information for each below)

Racial Traits​

Racial traits are now available for all races. Each race receives at least 4 traits (several passive and at least one active trait per race). Undead racial traits have changed to be more consistent with the new traits and Undead players are now considered Humanoid targets rather than Undead targets. The following is a full list of traits:

Dwarf​

Gnome​

Human​

Night Elf​

Orc​

Tauren​

Troll​

Undead​

New Raid Encounters​

Rumors of Onyxia, an enormous black dragon, have been heard through out Azeroth. Be sure to bring many brave warriors for she won't take kindly to intruders in her lair. Both factions will need to complete unique, and challenging quests to gain access to the Onyxia encounter. **During the beta testing there will be a temporary placeholder vendor who sells keys to Onyxia's lair for testing purposes.

Discovered in the heart of Blackrock Mountain beyond the Depths, lies the Molten Core. Within the Molten Core lives a multitude of ancient and powerful evil. Adventurers be ware, for the dangers found within the Molten Core are many and takes many forms.

**Raid loot is being worked on and temporary loot has been placed in raid encounters

New Kodo mounts!​

There is but one creature in all of Kalimdor that possesses the strength and stamina to bear a tauren rider into battle: the majestic kodo beast. Swifter and slightly smaller than their wild cousins, kodo mounts nevertheless demonstrate the same resilience and fearlessness found in their untamed brethren, traits that serve them well when bearing their equally resolute riders. It is said that only the most virtuous of tauren can win the affection of a kodo war mount, for these mighty beasts only serve those that approach them with honor and respect in their hearts.

Tauren players will no longer have the
16
[Plainsrunning] ability, due to the availability of Kodo mounts. Tauren players can purchase the Kodo mount at Bloodhoof village.

Major Changes​

Happy Holidays!​

The holidays are here and the citizens of Azeroth are celebrating the occasion with festive decorations and winter time activities. Keep an eye out for some fun and exciting surprises throughout the world!

New Dungeon - Maraudon​

In the vast gray of Desolace lies the earthen tomb of Zaetar, fallen Keeper of the Grove and son of Cenarius. Zaetar rejected his Keeper heritage when he joined with the princess of the chaotic earth elementals, Theradras. Their unholy union gave birth to the misshapen and cursed centaur, who promptly slew their father for his part in their misbegotten creation. Fearful of Cenarius' wrath, the grief-stricken Theradras sequestered her dead lover's body in her secret sanctuary, the Crystal Caverns of Terramok, where she watches over him to this day. Travelers who come to Desolace have little trouble spotting Zaetar's tomb, for the blessing of nature that permeates his being transformed his resting place into a verdant paradise of flora and tranquil pools. Today, this tomb is now trodden by the hooves of Zaetar's children, who have claimed this great cavern as their sacred stronghold Maraudon.

Maraudon, a level 40-49 dungeon in Desolace, is now open and ready for business

Cloak & Helm Graphics​

There are now interface options that let you not display your helm and/or cloak on your character. These options will allow a player to wear a cloak or helm, but not have it show up in the game world. The check boxes to control this functionality are in the Options menu under "Interface Options."

Mac​

  • The vertex and pixel shader based graphic options have been reactivated on certain combinations of drivers and GPU hardware. As Apple releases future improvements to drivers we will continue to re-test and re-activate features on a case by case basis. A more detailed list of which driver/hardware combinations are enabled for shader capabilities, along with any known bugs will be posted on the Tech Support forum. Further optimization work on the client is ongoing, and we welcome your feedback at wowmacteam123@blizzard.com.
  • Added reverb to sound effects when a player is in enclosed spaces.

User Interface​

  • The Minimap arrows that point to locations/players/etc. are now easier to see.
  • Tooltip information on players and monsters in the game has been expanded.

  • There is a new user interface to enable and disable add-ons for the current account, available at the character selection screen.

  • Any text that goes beyond the extents of a FontString will be truncated and replaced with ""

Miscellaneous​

  • The visual effect for unlearning talents will happen after you accept the dialog instead of immediately.

Bug Fixes​

  • A bug with bandages has been fixed. Previously, only the lowest rank bandage (
    16
    [Linen Bandage]) was working correctly in that it brought up a channeling bar and required you to remain still while bandaging. All of the other bandage types (Heavy Linen through Heavy Runecloth) were working incorrectly, but have been fixed to operate the same way that Linen Bandages do.
  • Cenarion Vindicators no longer summon Forces of Nature as quickly.
  • Severed Dreamers no longer summon Nightmares as quickly.
  • Several elite creatures that were missing their elite tags have been fixed.
  • 16
    [Will of the Forsaken] is no longer grayed out on the action bar while you are fleeing.
  • The Emerald Dragon Whelp will assist you when summoned.

    [War Stomp] to not affect some targets within melee range has been fixed.

Bug Fixes​

  • Rolling for items in the French and German will now work properly.
  • Resolved an issue with looting in click to move mode that could cause crashes.
  • Performance issues occurring with certain CPUs have been resolved.

General Changes​

Paladin​

Seal of the Crusader: Fixed a bug where damage per swing was increasing instead of decreasing when Seal of the Crusader was active.This resulted in a dramatic increase in damage per second (DPS) that was unintended. The tooltip for the spell displays the intent of the spell:"Fills the Paladin with the spirit of a crusader, granting additional attack power. The Paladin also attacks faster, but deals less damage with each attack."The overall increase in DPS from Seal of the Crusader should only result from the increase in attack power and not from the increase in attack speed. We understand this is a significant decrease in the power of this spell, but was a necessary bug fix to ensure both overall game balance and the viability of different Paladin Seals.

Localization​

  • Various text strings and audio have been corrected for the French and German versions of the game.

Macs​

  • Fixed a bug that incorrectly enabled the vertex animation shader option on some GPU's that do not support it. This bug was causing player character models in-game and in the character selection screen to appear invisible or distorted. The fix should benefit users with NVIDIA GeForce 2MX or 4MX GPU's and ATI Radeon 7000/7500 GPU's. It should no longer be necessary to manually turn off the vertex animation feature on these systems * it should now be off and disabled automatically.

Bug Fixes​

  • Group loot has been fixed to work as originally intended. It will now work exactly like round robin does, with the exception that when an item of threshold level or above drops, it will use the auto-rolling system. (Prior to this fix, when in group loot mode, the round robin system was only being used for items (all players could loot coins), which was rather confusing).
  • Fixed a group loot permission bug that was telling players they did not have permission to loot.
  • Fixed a bug that was causing the game to freeze when scrolling through auctions in the Auction House.
  • Murlocs play the drown animation when they die underwater now.
  • Onyxia correctly hovers instead of standing in midair.
  • You can target vocal emotes again.
  • Pets and summoned creatures attacking enemies will now tap the enemies for their owners.
  • Fixed a bug with Troll Shamans and the Berserk ability. Troll Shamans can only go Berserk when they are in the wounded state.
  • Rogues now correctly gain Lockpicking skill from items picked in the trade window.
  • Quests that require you to follow/escort an NPC will only complete when you arrive at the designated area.
  • Horde and Alliance members cannot duel with each other regardless of realm type.
  • Herbs and mineral nodes will remain active if they are not fully emptied.
  • Fixed a bug that was giving higher damage-per-second (DPS) to Steelarrow Crossbow and Blackcrow than was intended.
  • Sell prices on Hypnotic Blade, Illusionary Rod, Mantle of Doan, and Robe of Doan have been lowered.
  • Players who have completed the quest to summon Kirtonos may now obtain the Blood of Innocents from Doctor Theolen Krastinov.
  • The tooltip for the Warrior's Intercept ability has been updated to reflect the proper rage cost. Using Intercept now requires 10 rage, not 15 rage. The tooltip now accurately reflects that.

Addenda​

  • These changes were made after the publication of the patch notes and thus could not be added to the in-game patch notes.
    • Hunter and Warlock pets will now correctly "tap" the targets they attack, thus giving the pet owner kill credit for a target even if another player later attacks the same target.
    • The tooltip for the Warrior's Intercept ability has been updated to reflect the proper rage cost. Using Intercept costs 10 rage, not 15 rage. The tooltip now accurately reflects that.

PvP Duels​

  • Dueling across factions remains intact in the patch, in consideration of players' desires to duel members of the opposing faction.
  • This is a minor patch to address localization issues discovered during the European beta test. These changes affect localized text strings for French and German versions of the game only, and players in other regions will not see any changes to the game.

Bug Fixes​

  • We have deployed a client-side change that should improve performance when large numbers of players are gathered in a small area of the world. No other changes are included with this emergency patch.




Патч 1.3.0 «Руины Забытого Города»

1.3 logo.jpg


Патч 1.3.0 является по истине уникальным. Со времён его введения близзард больше ни когда не повторяли подобную систему. Введено было не просто новое подземелье "Руины Забытого Города", а подземелье состоящее из 3ех разных подземелий объединяющих в себе одну достаточно большую и весомую составляющую в контенте игры. Все части подземелья рассчитаны на разный уровень игроков, и если первая часть подземелья является просто проходным подземельем, то последующие части имеют завязки на ключевые классовые квесты. Например паладины должны были пройти это подземелье с определенными условиями, что бы получить маунта.
Но естественно это не единственные изменения вносимые патчем. Самую значительную часть я перечислю ниже. Полный список изменений как обычно под спойлером.
  • Открытие подземелья "Руины Забытого Города".
  • Добавлены ворлд боссы. Азурегос в Азшаре. Владыка Каззак в Вызженных землях.
  • Введены ограничения максимального количества игроков для подземелий.

Updated Changes​

  • Players who have completed the Molten Core discovery quest can now port directly to the zone, bypassing Blackrock Depths.
  • Divine Favor - Fixed a bug that prevented the effect from being removed, allowing all Flash of Light and Holy Light spells to crit for the full duration.
  • Bind on Pickup items that are of a quality below the default group loot threshold (white/gray) will no longer require confirmation before looting.
  • Various Bind on Pickup items that were previously of common quality (white) have been changed to green (ie: Corruptor's Scourgestone).
  • Several of the dungeon and raid armor sets have been updated with their non-placeholder textures. These sets include the Devout, Prophecy, Elements, Arcanist's and Wildheart sets. Future patches will update more dungeon and raid sets.
  • Quests that are not completable while in a raid group are no longer allowed if the instance is owned by a raid group, regardless of whether you are currently in that raid group or not.

Major Changes​

Diremaul​

Diremaul, a new dungeon for players level 56-60, is now open and ready for business. Diremaul is populated by a fierce tribe of ogres and is located in the western region of Feralas. Diremaul will be limited groups of no more than five players each.

New Outdoor Raid Bosses​

Two new outdoor raid bosses have been introduced to Azeroth. Azuregos, a monstrous blue dragon, has landed in Azshara, while Lord Kazzak the demon can be found in the Tainted Scar of the Blasted Lands.

Meeting Stones​

Meeting Stones are located outside of each dungeon to help players find a group to adventure with in the dungeon. The meeting stone will try to find you a viable five-person group by looking for a tank, a healer, and so on. As time passes and you are unable to find a group, the meeting stone will become less picky about who it groups you with.

Dungeon Player Caps​

All dungeons now have a cap on group size to limit the number of players that may enter the dungeon. It was necessary to add this cap as raiding these dungeons trivialized much of the content. Because of this change we can now look to adding better loot to them during future content patches.

With that in mind, the dungeons below now have the following caps:

  • Onyxia/Molten Core - 40 members
  • Blackrock Spire - 15 members
  • Diremaul - 5 members
All other dungeons in the game will be capped at 10 members.Several dungeons will be re-examined for balancing in light of this change. In addition, will have their loot improved significatnly for the next content patch.

AD

General Changes​

(detailed information for each below)

General​

  • Previously, in many cases, a Block, Parry, or Dodge was translated into a "Miss," thus causing confusion over actual miss rates. We've made the following changes in an attempt to be more clear as to what is actually happening in combat:
    • Block: All creatures will now report a Block on attacks from the front, reducing damage caused instead of converting the attack into a "Miss." Creatures will no longer be able to Block attacks from behind.
    • Dodge: Every time a creature Dodges, it will report a Dodge. We will no longer translate a creature's Dodge of a rear attack to a "Miss."
    • Parry: All creatures will now report a Parry on attacks from the front instead of translating them into a "Miss." Creatures will no longer be able to Parry attacks from behind.
  • Blocking an ability that takes place on the next swing now blocks the normal amount of damage instead of all of it.
  • Skill-up rate improved for bows, crossbows, guns, thrown, and wands.
  • Improved line of sight for large creatures.
  • In-game mail sent from GMs will now use official Blizzard stationery.
  • The Drunk effect has been greatly enhanced.
  • If you resurrect without releasing your spirit, your resurrection timer will decrease normally.
  • You can no longer accept a warlock summoning while you are in combat.
  • Increased stun resistance will now also help resist some non-melee based stun spells from creatures.

PvP​

  • Numbers and punctuation will not be passed through chat communication to members of the opposing faction.
  • Spells in PvP now have a slight increase in range and area of effect when targets are moving. This should improve the overall usability of spells and ranged attacks.
  • Priests can no longer kill players with Shadow Word: Pain and Mind Control in duels.
  • Certain key NPCs (such as bankers and auctioneers) in the cities and main outposts are now harder to kill. Additionally, when they die, they will respawn more quickly.
  • Patrolling scouts that can see through stealth and invisibility have been added to both Orgrimmar and Ironforge.
  • Players under Mind Control pass reputation changes due to kills to the controlling player, and do not receive the reputation changes themselves.

  • 16
    [Cat Form] - DPS increase at levels 40-60.

    16
    [Ferocious Bite] (available at level 32) - Finishing move that causes damage per combo point and converts each extra point of energy into additional damage.
  • New Spell:
    16
    [Barkskin] (available at level 44) - The druid's skin becomes as tough as bark. Physical damage taken is reduced. While protected, taking damage will not cause spellcasting delays, but non-instant spells take longer to cast and melee combat is slowed.
  • New Ability (Bear Form):
    16
    [Frenzied Regeneration] (available at level 36) - Converts an amount of rage into health every second for a short duration.

Hunter​

  • Training costs adjusted. Total training cost was decreased.
  • Sandfury Guardians are no longer tameable.
  • Fixed a bug where Hunter pets were sometimes unattackable by opposing faction players.

    [Distracting Shot] - Is now properly improved by the Efficiency and
    16
    [Hawk Eye] talents.
  • You can no longer use
    16
    [Eyes of the Beast] to leave a flight path.

  • Blink can now be used to escape more of the stun effects used by creatures in the world.
  • Blink is no longer usable on boats or zeppelins.

    [Blast Wave] damage radius fixed so damage properly extends to 10 yd.

    16
    [Ice Armor] - Mana cost reduced.

  • 16
    [Power Word: Shield] - Now castable on all raid targets.

Rogue​

  • A number of areas in the world now have footlockers in them. These areas are in place for rogues to visit to increase their lockpicking skills. The contents of these footlockers are only token amounts of treasure, but they should allow for a more interesting experience while increasing lockpicking skill. The difficulty of the locks in the area correspond to the level of the zone, so if your lockpicking skill is around 100, you would go to Durnholde Keep in Hillsbrad. But if your skill is 250, you might head to Tyr's Hand in Eastern Plaguelands.
    • Hillsbrad Foothills - Durnholde Keep
    • Redridge Mountains - Lake Everstill
    • Ashenvale Forest - Zoram Strand

  • 16
    [Astral Recall] - The tooltip now includes the home point the spell will recall you to.
  • We've changed the spell icon of several totem spells. They should now all be unique.
  • 16
    [Searing Totem] - Damage slightly increased.
  • 16
    [Reincarnation] - No longer causes resurrection sickness.

Warlock​

  • 16
    [Improved Drain Mana] - Will now report to the combat log all damage caused.
  • 16
    [Inferno] - The duration the Infernal is enslaved when first summoned has been increased. The area of effect damage caused by the Inferno spell, and all threat generated by it, will now originate from the Infernal. The Infernal will now immediately attack targets within the radius of the spell.
  • Enslave Demon - Is no longer dispellable.
  • Curse of Agony - Now benefits from items that increase shadow damage.
  • Nightfall - Fixed a bug where the Shadow Trance effect was lost without benefit. Previously, the talent had a 3%/4% chance of triggering. It now has a 2%/4% chance of triggering, and the tooltips have been updated to accurately reflect this change.
  • 16
    [Ritual of Doom] - The death caused at the completion of the ritual no longer causes durability loss.
  • 16
    [Firestone] - Equipping Firestones will now increase damage caused by fire spells.
  • 16

  • Parry - Moved to level 6.
  • 16
    [Thunder Clap] - Now causes Physical damage instead of Nature damage; damage increased; duration increased with each new rank.
  • Improved Sunder Armor - Now decreases rage cost by 1/1/1.
  • Improved Thunder Clap (warrior talent) - Now decreases rage cost by 1/1/2.
  • 16
    [Execute] - Full rage is no longer consumed when the ability does not hit.
  • 16
    [Overpower] - Should now be usable when a special attack is dodged.
  • Fixed a bug where rage was not being generated when normal melee attacks were parried, dodged, and blocked.
  • 16
    [Charge] has been improved so it will work through doorways and won't path you through an entire dungeon.
  • 16
    [Sweeping Strikes] bug fixed. It will hit more reliably and show up in combat log correctly.

    16
    [Sword Specialization] "proc" that will now show up in the combat log as well.

  • Reduced the respawn rate of the troggs on the islands in Loch Modan.
  • Some wildlife that was stationary in Desolace should now be more active.

  • Battle Chicken has had its level boosted by five.
  • The monster ability Skull Crack now only stuns for two seconds instead of six.
  • Warbringer Constructs now have less armor than before.

Items​

Professions​

  • A new engineering recipe is available in Blackrock Depths for a repair robot. This robot acts as a repair vendor for 10 minutes and will repair and purchase items for normal cost. This will allow dungeon groups and raids to get items repaired and sold without returning to town.

  • The item requirements for the elemental leatherworking quest have been lowered from four of each kind of elemental item to two.

  • 16
    [Bottomless Bag] requires significantly more

    16
    [Core Leather] to make now.
  • Invulnerability Potion - Now makes you immune to all physical attacks and damage rather than just damage.

    16
    [Cured Thick Hide] (instead of

    [Thick Hide]) as one of its required components.
  • 16
    [Crimson Lotus] changed to a gray item as it is currently unused by professions.

    [Chimeric Gloves] recipe is no longer bind on pick up.
  • There is now a recipe at leatherworking trainers that allows
    16
    [Thick Leather] to be turned into

    [Rugged Leather].

  • 16
    [Elixir of Giants] duration increased to 60 minutes.
  • 16
    [Shadowskin Gloves] recipe added so there is a non-rare recipe that requires
    16
    [Shadowcat Hide].
  • 16
    [Hot Wolf Ribs] now count as meat for purposes of being fed to hunter pets.
  • 16
    [Mooncloth] recipe moved to a different vendor in Everlook.
  • 16
    [Storm Gauntlets] fixed so they deliver their lightning damage correctly.
  • Enchantment for boots that increase speed improved significantly.

Raids & Dungeons​

  • "Raid lockout" is fixed. If the leader of your raid group is saved in a different instance than you would otherwise go to, you are added to your leader's instance.
  • Added /raidinfo command showing remaining time on saved raid instances. Also shows an ID to compare with other players (if you have the same saved ID as them, you will go into the same instance)

Патч 1.4 «Призыв к войне»

1.4.jpg


Один из неординарных патчей в классическом World of Warcraft, который не принес в игру нового контента. Ни каких подземелий, ни каких рейдов, ни даже новых квестов или крафтов в профессиях. Патч 1.4 полностью завязан на PvP аспекте игры. Именно с этого патча в игру были введены всем нам привычные ранги и награды. Были введены димишинги на способности замедлений и контроля вражеских игроков. С введением этого патча убийство вражеского игрока наконец то стало иметь не только фановую составляющую, но и реальный смысл в игре.
Так же были изменения и по классовым квестам, а варлокам даже изменили модель сукубы :).

Major Changes​

PvP Honor System​

The Player versus Player Honor System is now active. Players will be able to gain rankings based on their PvP performance, with lucrative rewards for those who distinguish themselves on the field of battle! Read more about the PvP Honor system.

Children's Week​

Children's Week is celebrated in Orgrimmar and Stormwind City at the start of May and lasts for a week. It is a time to give back to the innocents of war: the orphans!

Gurubashi Arena event​

There is now a regular event in Gurubashi Arena in Stranglethorn Vale. Every three hours starting at midnight, a pirate with too much treasure on his hands will drop a chest in the center of the arena. Whoever can open the chest first gets the contents! Of course, the arena is a PvP Free for All area, so there might be other players who are trying to open it first...

Elemental invasions!​

Invasions by elementals at different locations on Kalimdor have reportedly been occurring sporadically every few days. Concerned adventurers should investigate Silithus, Un'Goro Crater, Azshara, and Winterspring to counter these incursions.

AD

Details​

General​

  • Charm and
    16
    [Polymorph] mechanics can now be reactively countered by spells and abilities (e.g. Druid Shapeshifting will now cancel Polymorph effects).
  • Mana regeneration is now disrupted when a spell has completed casting rather than at the start of casting. It will resume normally five seconds after the last spell cast. This change increases the total time spent regenerating mana and therefore increases the total contribution from Spirit for mana-based classes.
  • Level 60 mounts purchased at vendors now have a whole new look. Faster undead mounts already have a different look and so have not changed. The new mounts can be seen standing near the mount vendors. If you have one of the old fast mounts, you can exchange it for one with a new look at the mount vendor.
  • Healing-over-time spells should now be improved by "+Healing" items when cast on other players.
  • Mind Controlled characters will no longer receive a durability penalty when they die.
  • When a non-Hunter resurrects a pet, the pet will no longer receive resurrection sickness.

PvP​

  • A handful of spells were added to the list of spells subject to diminishing returns in PvP. It is our goal to set as few spells as possible to be diminished. We've identified this short list of spells as having durations and cooldowns sufficient to almost permanently slow or immobilize targets but without adequate controls or other limiting factors. When a spell with diminishing returns is used against a target in PvP, the first effect has full duration. On the second use of the same category of spell (e.g. slowing), that spell's duration is reduced by 50%. On the third use, the duration is reduced by 75%. On the fourth attempt, the target becomes immune to the spell. Spells must be used on the same target within 15 seconds of the *end* of the duration in order to be diminished. In other words, if a target hasn't had a slowing spell active on them for more than 15 seconds, the next slowing spell will have full effect. The list of affected spells is:
  • Guard directions, signs and signposts have been added to point you toward the PvP Officer Lounges in Stormwind City (Champions' Hall) and Orgrimmar (Hall of Legends).

Racial Traits​

  • 16

    16
    [Arcane Brilliance] (available at level 56 - Loot) - Infuses the target's party with brilliance, increasing their Intellect.
  • 16

  • 16
    [Holy Fire] - Several changes were made to Holy Fire in an effort to make this a more usable and efficient damage spell. The cast time was reduced from five seconds to four seconds, which reduces the damage caused. Therefore, the damage was increased and more of the spell's potency was shifted into the damage-over-time portion. The duration was also increased and mana cost and cooldown were both decreased. While the direct damage portion was reduced slightly from the previous version, each tick of damage should be unchanged, and the spell now delivers one additional tick of damage. In total, the relative damage and efficiency of the spell has been increased.
  • 16
    [Wand Specialization] - Fixed a bug where the damage increase with this talent was too high.

Rogues​

  • Combo points will no longer be removed if the target is deselected. They will only be removed if a different target is selected.
  • Fixed a bug where combo points were not always being applied to the target when using
    16
    [Cheap Shot],
    16
    [Ambush] and
    16
    [Garrote].
  • 16
    [Vanish] - Increased stealth bonus.
  • 16
    [Ambush],
    16
    [Backstab],
    16
    [Ghostly Strike], and
    16
    [Riposte] now properly increase the attack power contribution by the percent modifier. Our goal is to make the dagger-based Backstab/Ambush build a viable alternative to the sword/mace-based
    16
    [Sinister Strike] build. As a side effect, fixing this bug also increased maximum critical Ambush damage beyond our intentions. After considering a variety of balance changes (including reducing the percent modifier or base damage of Ambush, or reducing the
    16
    [Improved Ambush] talents) we decided to change the
    16
    [Lethality] talent to no longer affect Ambush. This does not counteract the DPS increase from the bug fix as Backstab is the primary source of DPS while Ambush is a source of high, one-time damage and cannot be used as consistent DPS. After all balance changes are considered, here are some details:
    (Using a
    16
    [Barman Shanker] with 2.0 weapon speed and between 500 and 800 attack power)
    • Ambush without the
      16
      [Lethality] bonus and attack power bug fix (patch 1.4.0) causes between 4-12% more damage than --- • Ambush with the
      16
      [Lethality] bonus and attack power bug (patch 1.3.1).
    • 16
      [Backstab] (patch 1.4.0) causes between 9-13% more damage than Backstab (1.3.1).
  • The
    16
    [Kick] ability prevents the target from casting spells in the same school when channeled casting is interrupted.
  • If using
    16
    [Gouge] triggers the Stormshroud Armor lightning effect, the Gouge effect will no longer be instantly interrupted.
  • The Rogue trainers will now point the player to an appropriate area with boxes to unlock depending on the lockpicking skill of the player.
  • 16
    [Preparation] - Will now clear the cooldown of the
    16
    [Blade Flurry] ability.
  • 16
    [Riposte] - Fixed a bug that prevented the ability from being used when the target had no weapon or was already disarmed.

Shaman​

  • 16
    [Earth Shock] - The visual for ranks two through seven has been changed to be consistent with rank one.
  • Windfury - Fixed a bug that caused an additional attack beyond what was intended. In addition, fixed a bug that caused the next normal melee attack to happen sooner than intended.
  • Level 58+ Shaman should talk to Sagorne Creststrider in Orgrimmar; there is a special quest for them involving a dreaded death knight who dwells in the depths of the Scholomance.
  • 16
    [Frost Shock] - Now subject to diminishing returns in PvP. This is considered a slowing effect.
  • 16
    [Grounding Totem] - Should no longer redirect area effect spells or be destroyed by area effects spells.

Raids & Dungeons​

These missing class set items will now drop in Molten Core, allowing players to complete their lower tier class sets.

    • Future patches will include even more item rewards for these raid encounters, as well as improvements to the statistics, effects, and set bonuses for both tiers of the raid armor sets.

Quests​

  • Party quest share information is now working.

Also, to the left of the quest name in your quest log it will list a number in parenthesis indicating how many other players in your party have that quest.

  • The Molten Core discovery quest has had its objective moved from inside the Molten Core to Blackrock Depths.

World Environment​

Macs​

  • The keyboard shortcut to quit the game has been changed to Command-Option-Q to work around an issue with PowerBooks.

  • Fixed a bug where weapon skills were inappropriately capped at 5 times level. Characters should now gain benefit from weapon skill bonuses beyond their normal cap.
  • Fixed portrait creation while alt-tabbed away from the game.
  • Fixed sorting items in the auction house by current bid.
  • 16
    [Blessing of Sacrifice] only transfers the damage dealt, up to the maximum listed in the tooltip.

Additional Patch Changes​

  • All cast speed modifying spells and abilities (including

    [Curse of Tongues],
    16
    [Mind-numbing Poison], and several creature spells) will no longer have an effect on spells that are made instant-cast by talents (such as
    16
    [Arcane Explosion] and
    16
    [Corruption]).[2]

    • Archbishop Benedictus should be respawning every 2 hours.
    • Bolvar will give no contribution points.

Патч 1.5.0. «Поля боя»

1.5.jpg



Очередной патч в большей своей части направленный на PvP, как и видно из его названия. Особо много описывать в этом патче нечего. Главными изменениями стало открытия Батлграундов Ущелья Песни Войны и Альтеракской Долины. Так же в игру была введена система бесчестья.
Не смотря на довольно скудное описание патча и вносимых им изменений, мне удалось найти оригинальный видео роллик от Близзард анонсирующий этот патч.



Battlegrounds arrive!​

  • The Warsong Gulch and Alterac Valley battlegrounds are now available. The Warsong Gulch entrances may be found in the northern Barrens near the Mor'Shan Rampart (Horde) and south of Silverwing Outpost in Ashenvale (Alliance). The Alterac Valley entrances may be found east of Sofera's Naze in Alterac (Horde), and in the Headlands of Alterac (Alliance).

    • Players may now see an "estimated contribution point value" in the combat log for an honorable kill. Note that this value does not take diminishing returns against the same player into account, and is therefore "estimated".
    • "Team Contribution Points" has been renamed to "Honor"
    • Added tooltips to the different elements of the Honor System UI.
    • Players will see their last week's kill data in the "Last Week" section of the Honor System UI even if they did not achieve the 25 honorable kills required to gain standing or rank.

  • Dueling is now allowed within Everlook.

Classes​

Hunters​

  • Tranquilizing Shot - Is now properly affected by Efficiency and Hawk Eye talents.
  • Unleashed Fury - Fixed a bug where the damage increase was lower than stated in the tooltip. It should now increase damage by the listed amount.

  • Fixed a bug where magic shots were missing too frequently when used on a target with Blessing of Protection active.

Mages​

  • Mage Armor - Now has a new, unique icon.

Paladins​

  • Feedback - Casting a higher rank of the spell will now replace an existing, lower level effect.
  • Unbreakable Will - Fixed a bug that caused many abilities to ignore the additional resistance.

Rogues​

  • Riposte - Fixed a bug where the ability was not usable against a disarmed or unarmed target.
  • Vanish - Should be a lot more responsive when used to avoid incoming attacks.

Shaman​

  • Fixed a bug where Fire Nova, Flametongue, Stoneclaw and Windfury Totems had incorrect level caps when cast by higher level shaman. All totems should now be summoned at the level of the caster.
  • Flametongue Totem - Tooltip updated to clarify that only the main-hand weapon is enchanted.
  • Windfury Totem - Tooltip updated to clarify that only the main-hand weapon is enchanted.

  • Improved Voidwalker - Now increases all Voidwalker spells (now also including Sacrifice) by 10/20/30%.
  • Improved Succubus - Now increases Succubus spells by 10/20/30%.
  • Master Summoner - In addition to decreasing casting time of summoning the Imp, Voidwalker, Succubus and Felhunter, it now reduces mana cost by 20/40%.

  • Demonic Sacrifice - Is now instant cast.
  • Improved Firestone - Now also improves the bonus Fire spell damage of Firestones by 15/30%.
  • Inferno - The summoned Infernal will now be enslaved for 5 minutes before turning on its summoner.

Warriors​

  • Overpower - Fixed a bug where the ability was sometimes blocked.
  • Improved Cleave - Now increases damage bonus by 40/80/120%.

  • New Fury Talent: Dual Wield Specialization - Increases damage with the off-hand weapon by 5/10/15/20/25%. Note: the additional damage also increases rage generation significantly.
  • Iron Will - Fixed a bug that caused many abilities to ignore the additional resistance.
  • Enrage - Increased the number of charges to 12. Decreased the duration to 12 seconds. The new duration is the limiting factor for slower weapons (e.g. Arcanite Reaper will typically get one less swing), while dual wielding and faster weapons will make better use of all of the charges over the duration of the ability.
  • Concussion Blow - Changed to an instant, stunning attack and removed the damage portion.
  • Shield Specialization - In addition to increasing % chance to block, it now gives the warrior a 20/40/60/80/100% chance to generate 1 rage on a successful block.

  • Additional new raid items have been added to the treasure lists for Azuregos, Lord Kazzak, and bosses in Molten Core.

Quests​

  • Jeziba in the Ruins of Andorhal now faces the correct direction when pointing to his Catalogue of the Wayward.
  • Fraggar Thundermantle now correctly tells you to return to him, and not his evil, two-eyed twin, Frobe Thundermantle when completing the Skull Rock Clean-up quest.

  • Innkeepers around the world now have a gossip option that lets you join a meeting stone directly from the innkeeper rather than going to the location of the meeting stone. Also these Innkeepers will now have background lore about each of the dungeons.
  • Levels Required for meeting stones have been increased. The intent is that a group will not receive party members from a meeting stone that don't really have a chance of completing the dungeon.
  • Meeting Stones have had their rules for what players are grouped with what other players relaxed. This means groups who use meeting stones (or innkeepers) should have their groups formed much more quickly than they were previously.

AD

Patch 1.5 Supplemental Changes​

General Battlegrounds changes​

  • All friendly players will now show up on the overhead and mini-map while in a battleground (regardless of whether they are grouped).
  • Players entering a battleground queue now receive a system message informing them that they have successfully entered the queue.
  • The mini-map icon for the battleground queue will now show the amount of time you have waited. In addition, the "seconds" field of the estimated wait time has been removed.
  • Spirit Guides may only resurrect a maximum of ten players per "wave".
  • Going AFK in a battleground will cause that player to be disconnected from the game.

Alterac Valley​

  • Enemy NPC lieutenants and commanders now have a team bonus honor value.
  • Enemy NPC lieutenants and commanders no longer respawn.
  • Enemy towers are now destroyed rather than captured (a one-time event per tower). The mechanics for destroying a tower are very similar to their previous capture mechanic.
  • The enemy NPC mine layer no longer respawns when killed.
  • The respawn time for laying mines has been slowed.
  • All Alterac Valley quest items (ie: armor scraps) are zone-bound, and will be lost if taken outside the battleground instance.
  • Korrak's respawn time has been increased to 30 minutes.
  • NPC's in the entrance tunnels will no longer fight enemy NPCs, only enemy players.
  • Lok'holar the ice lord and Ivus the forest lord are now friendly to Horde and Alliance players (respectively), and will therefore no longer affect friendly players with area-of-effect spells.
  • Sound effects have been added to critical battleground events (ie: a graveyard being assaulted).
  • Additional items for purchasing have been added to the quartermasters in the entrance tunnels. The types of items you may purchase is based on your reputation with the quartermaster.
  • The Alliance and Horde NPC captains now periodically shout a "rallying cry", granting a powerful effect to all friendly players in the battleground. Killing the enemy's captain will deny the ability for the enemy to gain a rallying cry.
  • Ivus the Forest Lord now uses a winter Ancient Protector model rather than a Keeper of the Grove model.

Warsong Gulch​

  • The duration the flags will remain on the ground before automatically returning has been changed from 2 minutes to 10 seconds.
  • The Boots of Speed now have a random spawn timer between 2 and 3 minutes, and the effect duration has been lowered to 10 seconds.
  • Warsong Gulch now has a minimum of 8 players on each side to start a new instance. The maximum is still 10 players.

Bug Fixes​

  • It should no longer be possible to "double capture" a single flag in Warsong Gulch (get credit for two flag captures for capturing only one flag).
  • Fixed a bug in Warsong Gulch where a carried flag would not be captured if the carrier was standing on their own flag when it was returned.

Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed an assertion that was preventing Mac clients from playing in the battlegrounds and causing a memory leak on PCs when they did.
  • Improved error reporting to give more useful information to development.
