A bunch of my hunter friends are going nuts over this new change in Patch 2.4.2 which I really don’t seem to understand. Obviously the change to Scare Beast is amazing. It’s now instant cast, has a 30yrd too, basically they’re right; hunters might become the anti-druid in Arena combat. But druids are getting all [...]

Every Friday is kind of a long day folks so mind the late posting. Currently this site is undergoing a redesign which is nice because I’ll finally get to bring you the Spooner experience you so rightly deserve. Either way here are some changes that made it in today.
Specifically there are some class changes that [...]

Just a little something for the anglers out there. This information comes from El’s Extreme Anglin’ with some sour news as fishing in the Isle of Quel’danas has been rendered pointless in the long run. We can’t directly catch Luminous Bluetail anymore directly.
Bloated Giant Sunfish now contain 1-4 Lightning Eel, 1-2 Luminous Bluetail, 3-5 Seaweed, [...]

I mentioned this earlier today; the trinkets in game that increase your mount speed will become enchants (like armor kits) that you can use on mount instead of trinkets that take up a slot. Here is the first example of the changes on the PTRs.

Nice.

It’s good to see Blizzard paying attention and stealth nerfing a lot of the pre-BC items that were pretty far under the radar. There were a lot of items that worked on percentages as their procs (like Nightfall) and can end up being problematic in the game today with all the other changes that took [...]

I reported about this way back when 2.4 was still just hitting the PTRs. It’s resurfaced again and there are still no clues as to what the purpose of these spells would be.
Portal: Theramore and Portal: Stonard
The spell visual effects and icons were added in 2.4, it looks like the spells have been added in [...]

Granted male draenei still look completely moronic on horse (think fat man on a clown bike) but at nothing is confirmed yet and these might be fun for the other races.
New Mounts
According to spells and models available in the game files, at least two new mounts have been added to the game.
Swift Zebra
49322 : Swift [...]

Thank god for the little gnomes that dig around data files and pull coherent information for us to see. Here are a few things that Blizzard has yet to mention. nothing is confirmed as the servers are not up yet but this is taken straight form the game files. Looks like I’m going to be [...]

Yes, the Season 3 honor items will still be available for purchase without a rating requirement after Season 4 starts.
There will be two sets of “non-set” items once Season 4 begins. The Season 4 honor items (boot/belt/bracer/etc) some of which will require a rating, and the Season 3 items (boot/belt/bracer/etc) which still won’t require [...]

I cut off half the patch notes in my previous post because it caused the website to scroll down CONSIDERABLY and since I know how annoying it is for you guys and gals to look at a massive wall of text, here are the rest of the patch 2.4.2 changes starting with the dungeons and [...]

Good morning people, here are the new Patch 2.4.2 notes released by Blizzard. You can pretty much be assured that the PTRs are going to be up and running shortly, the PTR forums are giving the standard “forum is not ready” error as well so they’re being cleaned and readied. Chances are this is going [...]

Happy Tuesday everyone. Maintenance is going on right now but it seems that today’s downtime will be almost non-existent. Rolling restarts that will last approx. 15 minutes each is the only interruption we’ve been told about.
I presume that this week is going to be light on the server work to give players a little break [...]

Here is part 2 as promised with the NPC issues, environment, UI, and other misc bugs that Blizzard has officially tagged and will fix soon.

Here is a list (although by far not comprehensive) of all the known issues for Patch 2.4. In order to avoid a freaking huge post for you all to sift through I’m breaking it down into 2 parts. this first section has the class issues and part 2 will have the UI and other misc. [...]

This thread will remain updated throughout the week of March 24 - March 30 with any notable hotfixes.
Here is an updated list of all the current applied hotfixes as of today the 29th.
Hotfixes applied and active:

Players are no longer able to accept the quests “Blood for Blood” and “Blast the Gateway” without first [...]

By and large Omen is the most popular threat meter mod out there and with good reason. Omen has been a staple of the raiding community for some time as it really makes or breaks a fight now for many guilds tackling difficult bosses where threat plays a major role int he encounter. Since Patch [...]

I’m not much of a code monkey let alone able to write addons and such but this blue post interested me as I was seeing this event come up once or twice in conversation with some friends of mine that DO write mods.
Yes, UNIT_DIED is fixed for 2.4.2. PLAYER_DEAD works fine. (src)
