(WoW 1.12 patch notes)"},"content":{"rendered":"

It looks like the patch notes for the next WoW update were leaked again<\/a>. They seem legit, but remember that I’ve been fooled<\/a> in the past (only once, though!).<\/p>\n

Follow the first link and read them from FoH, because I’m not backing them up here.<\/p>\n

Beside the cross-realm BGs<\/a> that were announced and confirmed a while ago and the world PvP objectives<\/a> that I commented yesterday, there’s some of the very best bugfixing EVER.<\/p>\n

Here are some highlights:<\/p>\n

—
\n– Your Friends List and Ignore List has been expanded to hold 100 players.<\/p>\n

– Reputation loss from killing NPCs has been drastically decreased across the board, and applies only to the players responsible, rather than to their entire party or raid.<\/p>\n

– Fixed a bug that caused the sound level to increase when alt-tabbing in and out of the World of Warcraft client.<\/p>\n

– Fixed a bug that would sometimes result in player names being magnified.<\/p>\n

– Dishonorable Kills now apply only to players responsible, rather than to their entire party or raid.<\/p>\n

– You will now be placed in a raid upon entering a battleground.<\/p>\n

– Players can now see how many battleground instances are running, but are not able to choose specific instances to join. (Abalieno’s note: it will make harder to arrange a match)<\/p>\n

– You can now leave a battleground from an option on the scoreboard at any time.<\/p>\n

– Token systems have been implemented in Molten Core and Blackwing Lair. Tier 1 and Tier 2 Class Armor sets are now acquired like the Tier 3 sets are through turn-in quests. Bosses that previously dropped the armor have had their loot tables revised. In addition, new items that appeal to a greater variety of playstyles have been added to ALL raid instances as both quest rewards and drops!<\/p>\n

– Meeting stones no longer automatically search for party members. Instead, joining a meeting stone for a dungeon now adds you to an interactive list (sorted by name, level, class, etc) of players looking for a group. Groups can be formed by contacting players through this interface. The meeting stone queues for all dungeons can now be accessed from any meeting stone in the world.<\/p>\n

– A Guild Calendar has been added to streamline guild management. Upcoming raids and other events can be posted for all guild members to see.<\/p>\n

– NPCs that repair now have a Repair equipped items button.<\/p>\n

\nToo good to be legit? Probably.<\/p>\n

That radical switch in all the raid instances to a token system made me a bit suspicious. No more armor and weapons drops? No more public, immediate catwalks?<\/p>\n

I also have to point out that at least two lines from these patch notes are directly taken from the patch notes leaked<\/a> in September of the last year and that revealed to be fake”<\/p>\n

– Dishonorable Kills will now apply only to the players responsible, rather than to their entire party or raid.<\/p>\n

– You can now exit a battleground from an option on the scoreboard at all times.<\/p>\n

– Meeting stones no longer search for party members. Instead, joining a meeting stone for a dungeon now adds you to a viewable list of players looking for a group. Groups can be formed by contacting players from this list.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Exact<\/i> same phrasing. Plus a lot of similar changes.<\/p>\n

EDIT: Yep, confirmed as fake. With a funny detail:<\/p>\n

First and foremost, they’re being spread by “Spybot”, the same guy who faked the 1.8 patch notes.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
