World of Warcraft Patch v2.1.3 - v2.2.0 (UK English)

Updating the popular MMORPG to v2.2.0 this is the most recent patch from Blizzard Entertainment for World of Warcraft. This patch includes Voice Chat functionality, Chat Channels, and more much listed below in more information.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- World of Warcraft Client Patch 2.2.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The latest patch notes can always be found at

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/

General

- Voice Chat - The new Voice Chat feature is now available in game.

Players will need to go into the Options menu under Sound & Voice to

activate it. Volume sliders are available for the microphone,

speakers, and game-audio fade (which automatically lowers the game

audio when a voice communication is received), as is a “push-to-talk”

setting. Right-clicking on a player’s name now includes the option to

mute or unmute that player. Muting another player blocks all voice

chat from him or her; the ignore feature now blocks both voice chat

and text chat from that player. For the Voice Chat F.A.Q. visit the

- Chat Channels- New Chat Channel controls and functionality are now

available under the Chat tab in the Social window of the interface.

The interface will now show the channels players are in or are

available to them, depending on the area of the world they are in,

along with the addition of new private channel controls.

- A new feature for reporting players as being AFK in battlegrounds by

right clicking has been added. When enough reports are registered, a

60 second debuff will begin to count down. Once the timer is up a

new debuff will appear that will prevent the player from gaining any

honor while it is on. This debuff can be negated as soon as the

player engages in PvP combat.

- Haste: Haste has been rebalanced. It has returned to the ratios

from the launch of Burning Crusade. Melee attacks and spell casts

will now benefit at identical rates from haste. This change results

in a reduction in the benefit of haste for melee attacks and an

increase in the benefit for spellcasters.

- Troll Berserk: The spell haste on this ability was incorrectly too

high and has been corrected.

- Resilience Rating: The reduction to the percent chance to get a

critical strike now also reduces the damage dealt by damage over time

effects by the same percentage.

- Daze: Defense skill will no longer reduce the chance players have to

receive the Daze effect when attacked from behind by enemies.

- Area Spells: In some cases guards in neutral areas would not aggro

against pvp attacks from area spells. That is now fixed.

- Corrected the damage modifier calculation for Resilience when the

attacker has bonus critical strike damage.

- Power Regeneration: Any effect which triggers a change in your rate

of power regeneration (Mana, Rage, Energy, Focus) will now cause an

immediate reward of some power at the old rate of increase, and then

begin new “ticks” of power at the new rate approximately 2 seconds

later. This was done to improve functionality of abilities such as

Evocation and Innervate so that they did not have wasted “ticks”.

- Mac Movie Capture: the Mac client can now capture in-game video to

QuickTime movie files using a configurable choice of codec,

resolution, and frame rate. Two new entries have been added to the

Key Bindings dialog for start/stop recording and for cancellation of

a recording. For more detailed configuration options please see the

Mac Options panel in game. Mac OS X 10.4.9 and QuickTime 7.1.6 or

better are required. Not all machines have enough performance to

smoothly capture video at high frame rates; end user experimentation

will be required to find appropriate settings for each system.

- Pets are now affected by Paladin greater blessings.

- Kill Triggered Effects: Effects that trigger from killing your target

will no longer trigger from killing your pet.

- Non-combat pets may not be selected as the target for spells or

abilities.

- Non-combat pets now have the tag “Companion” instead of “Minion”.

- Being attacked by guardians, such as summoned Treants, will no longer

automatically cause neutral guards to attack you.

- Meeting Stones can no longer be used to summon players that do not

meet the level requirements.

- Damage and health leech effects always affect flying players even if

they are immune to the rest of the spell’s affects while in flight.

- Troll Berserk: The spell haste on this ability was incorrectly too

high and has been corrected.

PvP

- Dueling players may not use a Lightwell that they didn’t create themselves.

- Battlegrounds

Eye of the Storm: The points awarded from capturing the flag now

increase based on the number of bases the capturing teams owns.

- Arenas

Arena calculations have been modified. In addition, the penalty for

smaller arena teams (2v2, 3v3) has been slightly reduced.

Items that are indicated as quest items in their tooltips and have a

“use” or “equip” ability will not work in PvP arenas.

Players will no longer be able to change armor once an arena battle

has begun. Changing armor will still be available during the

one-minute prep time prior to the battle. Main hand, off hand and

ranged weapon swapping in combat remains unchanged.

Druids

- Cat Form (Night Elf) melee attack range was too short compared to

Tauren Cat Form and other attack ranges. It has been increased.

- Cyclone: It is no longer possible to Cyclone two targets at

the same time in the outdoor world.

- Cyclone: Paladin Auras, Trueshot Aura, and Aspect of the Pack will

now be automatically reactivated when Cyclone wears off of a victim

who had one of the abilities active.

- Enrage: If this buff is clicked off early, the armor penalty it

causes will now be removed as well.

prevent rage decay for the duration.

Entangling Roots on two targets at the same time in the outdoor

world.

- Entangling Roots: It is no longer possible to have more than one rank

Mangle victim is killed by Mangle.

- Nature's Grasp: This ability can now trigger while the Druid is

sitting.

- Tree of Life: The party aura from this shapeshift now extends the

full 40-yard radius as stated in the tooltip.

Hunters

- Aspect of the Cheetah: This ability will now cause Hunters to become

dazed when struck while sitting.

- Aspect of the Pack: This ability will now cause party members to

become dazed when struck while sitting.

- Aspect of the Viper: This ability has received a slight redesign. The

amount of mana regained will increase as the Hunter’s percentage of

mana remaining decreases. At about 60% mana, it is equivalent to the

previous version of Aspect of the Viper. Below that margin, it is

better (up to twice as much mana as the old version); while above

that margin, it will be less effective. The mana regained never drops

below 10% of intellect every 5 sec. or goes above 50% of intellect

every 5 sec.

- Freezing Trap and Scare Beast duration against PvP targets has been

reduced to 10 seconds.

passive.

damage coefficients have also been increased. It also correctly

consumes charges of Misdirection.

- Hunter pets

Raptors can now learn Dash.

damage coefficients have also been increased.

effects to go off twice.

- Redoubt: This ability can now trigger while the Paladin is sitting.

- Reckoning: This ability can now trigger while the Paladin is sitting.

properly when the Paladin casting it had just been crowd controlled

by a creature. That is now fixed.

- Sanctified Judgement: This talent will now give the correct amount of

mana when used in conjunction with Seal of Justice.

- Seal of Righteousness: The tooltip for this ability has been

improved. It now displays a different number for one-handed weapons

and two-handed weapons, and adjusts to the speed of your current

weapon. It displays a single number, rather than a range of numbers

for different handedness and speeds.

- Seal of Vengeance: The damage from this ability will now stack

properly when two different characters are applying Seal of Vengeance

effects to a target.

- Seal of Vengeance duration increased to 15 seconds. In addition, when

Soul Charge silence has been lowered in duration to 4 seconds, and

the death of the Priest with Spirit of Redemption will no longer

cast Grip of the Legion on very far away targets.

The recast time for the Deafening Roar spell cast by Unbound

Devastators has been increased on Heroic mode.

reworked. Wrath of the Astromancer is a now completely different in
