Waldonnis Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) General: Guild tabards appear to be fixed and won't make your character appear topless any more The new calendar feature has a new icon and displays the current day of the month MANY new models have been added (including the mammoths, and they look GREAT), so expect to see less placeholder tags. The Taunka have new models as well!! This was worthy of a noting distinctly A "Low level quests" tracking option has been added to the minimap tracking selector button thingy. Stable masters no longer appear to offer stable slots to non-hunters. Two new purchasable shields are available from the Anthony Durain, the Shield Merchant in Dalaran. They appear to be test items at the moment. Several achievements have been activated and added, including retroactive (within reason) completions for pre-TBC raids, some seasonal events, and additional PvP achievements for killing faction leaders. Formerly "unlearnable" pets can now be learned, including Egbert, Sleepy Willy, Mechanical Squirrel, and Peanut. Dalaran: You can now mount in Dalaran (just don't mount the help). You cannot mount in the sewers, however. Dalaran's overhead map has been improved and should allow for better navigation. The Dalaran sewer map has also been improved, but still does not show landmarks, so it may require a bit of exploration to find what you're looking for. I think there was a robbery attempt because the banks have gotten a new, more secure look Jepetto Joybuzz's toy shop "Wonderworks" has gotten some decoration and he has hired an assistant (or created). He still, however, does not sell anything yet. I must say, it's a cute shop, so stop in and check it out! Abracadabra! now has a solid floor. I guess the Kirin Tor's pranksters had their fun and removed the two reagent vendors (and hapless visitors) from their prison in the sewers. Applebough, the tree fruit vendor, has moved his street cart over near the Alliance area. He claims he didn't see enough business over by the bank, but I think the Alliance bribed him with Miracle-gro... Aerith Primrose has moved her street cart near the Dalaran prison, but I can't figure out what she hopes to gain by doing so. "Accessories and More", the trinket and relic shop, has gotten a facelift. The staff continues to stare blankly at the walls, however. I never noticed if this was the case before, but the tabard vendor now sells all TBC tabards for 95s each, as long as you have the reputation to purchase each of them. The door to the Dalaran Prison now opens and reveals an instance portal. The instance does not appear to be active, however. Portals are finished in the Horde areas and open up to battlegrounds (awww, I was hoping to get portals to Alliance cities ), including the new Sands of Ulduran (80). High Arcanist Savor stands imposingly nearby to make sure no Alliance try to close the portals. Professor Palin (*snickers*), the inscription trainer, no longer stares blankly at the walls and has suddenly figured out that he should be training budding inscriptionists. Professions: Jewelcrafting:Your day has come! Now go see Timothy Jones and get some new cuts! [*]Mining: The following smelting abilities have been added: Smelt Saronite (400) Smelt Hardened Saronite (425) Smelt Titanium (450) Smelt Titansteel (450) [*]Blacksmithing: New patterns have been added to the non-specialist trainers that use titanium and titansteel (some are epic and amazing-looking!) Blacksmiths can now create "items" that add sockets to various armour slots. Could it be that smiths finally get something they can sell?? [*]Cooking: A supposed grandmaster cooking trainer has been added to the Horde-factioned inn in Dalaran, but he doesn't appear to teach anything new (including the grandmaster rank/ability itself) Zones: Zul'drak: Zul'drak now has hostlie raptor riders that patrol some of the roads and they look great, but be careful... Several quests have been added to the zone in the following areas: Light's Breach Amphitheater of Anguish [*]The Storm Peaks: The overhead map has gotten a few more finishing touches, but still is not complete. It is still not a passable zone (NML). [*]Wintergrasp: The overhead map has gotten more finishing touches as well. It is a passable zone, and actively tagged as a combat zone, so unless you're ready for combat, don't go in! Some of the siege and war machinery is in place, although many are still in odd positions rendering them unusable. All Classes: Talent trees updated Talent points were not refunded properly, so be sure to respec before adventuring Death Knight: Runes got new icons that make them easier to see and monitor the cooldown fade effect Runeforging enchants have had their descriptions fixed (FINALLY) to reflect whether they apply to one-handed or two-handed weapons Edited August 9, 2008 by Waldonnis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
