Waldonnis Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) Finally, we get a new build before PTR does. Notable Bugs: Female worgen are playable! Well, okay, maybe not. Technically, you can create one, but it uses the male model when you enter the game. The API functions even indicate that the character is, in fact, a female. Oddly enough, they still show the female model on the character selection screen too. Wacky stuff. Some (all?) players are not gaining guild reputation at all for completing quests. This seems to be affecting players of all levels. Notable unfixed bugs from the previous build: Usual proviso about deleting the cache directories in your installation directory if you're having issues loggiing in after the patch. See a previous build post if you need more info (or just post a reply and I'll elaborate). The vendors on Traveler's Tundra Mammoths seem to have gone on holiday. Some archaeology races' artifact fragments don't show up in the UI and can't be combined (they require a higher skill level than you have, but can still be gathered). Many riding training levels appear as unlearned in your spellbook. Master Riding appears for all characters as "learnable" in the spellbook regardless of level as well. The loot rolling window appears when a keystone is looted (archaeology) even when not in a party. On logging in, your chest armour might be broken (or may not be). Some are seeing this happen, others are not, so check just to be safe. Seems to be common with druids, mages, and shaman at least. Druid swift flight form's speed is still unaffected by Master Riding or the Mount Up guild perk speed boosts. Reanchoring the WorldFrame still causes extremely weird things to happen with water if you have the new water effects enabled (long-standing bug since alpha). The daily quests available in the Tol Barad battleground area do not work for Horde currently (they are available, but require you to turn them in to the equivalent Alliance NPC). General: In-game voice support has been readded to the sound options. Macro issues have been resolved. Brazie's Sunflower (a.k.a. Singing Sunflower) companion pet has a new model...and talks/sings periodically. Retroactive reputation seems to have been awarded to players who completed Mt. Hyjal and Vashj'ir prior to the implementation of the respective reputations in each zone (Guardians of Hyjal and The Earthen Ring). Quest achievement completion for Mt. Hyjal has also been granted for the same group (but not Vashj'ir). Guild: Guild news page and filters are still messed up and throw lots of Lua errors. Zones: Orgrimmar:Portals leading to Vashj'ir, Uldum, Deepholm, and Twilight Highlands are now functional instead of just looking pretty. [*]Uldum: "Camel Tow" (quest) is working! Doesn't seem to be any follow-up, though. From what I can tell, the hyena quest was removed? I didn't have it in my log before, so I could use some confirmation from anyone who had kept it in there. The zone *should* be fully itemised now (meaning quest rewards are in and the mobs should be dropping money/cloth/items now). [*]Twilight Highlands: TBD [*]Deepholm: "Lingering Twilight" (Therazane daily) seems to have been removed, which doesn't bother me since it never worked. It might still be in, but I'll have to check tomorrow's daily cycle to be sure. Therazane had her PH tag removed, but she still has the same model *shrugs* [*]Tol Barad: Exploration achievement for the zone is no longer marked as NYI...but still doesn't register discoveries of the areas. The daily quests available in the Tol Barad battleground area do not work for Horde currently (they are available, but require you to turn them in to the equivalent Alliance NPC). [*]Vashj'ir: "Nespirah" (quest) is currently not working and hasn't for two builds now, gating players trying to progress in the zone (NPCs are out of phase). Classes: Druid: Small changes to several feral, balance, and restoration skills/talents (almost all are reductions in proc rates or effectiveness), including Savage Defense, Efflorescence, and Fungal Growth. Lifebloom now has two spellIDs (one for the ToL version, one for the non-ToL version). Unfortunately, the client seems to be picking the wrong one unless cast from the spellbook or action bars, so a macro with /cast Lifebloom or using a healing addon won't work with Lifebloom unless you can force it to cast by spellID. [*]Paladin: The "Exorcism Damage Yo-Yo" continues, this time with exorcism's base damage increasing again. Two-Handed Specialization (retribution) got a damage bonus boost. Professions: Archaeology: The light on the survey equipment now flashes at different rates for each colour (this was done to help those with colour blindness determine distances indicated more easily). Red flashes very slow, yellow a bit faster, and green flashes rapidly. A new achievement has been added to recover fragments of each "race". It's not working yet, though. [*]Leatherworking: Still significantly buggy, with many patterns on the the trainer requiring 530 skill to learn (525 is max for Cataclysm). [*]Cooking: Several more recipes have been added for skill levels above 450. User Interface: Issues with macros not working or not being able to be dragged onto action bars have been resolved. POI markers on the world map have been updated (FINALLY) for Cataclysm. Glyph spell tooltips should refresh properly now after scrolling. Fixed the reverse logic in the consolidated buffs code (again, tired developers are tired!). The Game Menu icon in the micro bar switches icons to indicate download/caching status. The spell critical chance provided by Intellect in the Character Sheet's tooltip is now correctly displayed. Tol Barad Commendations aren't listed on the currency frame (bug). If you have some and you want to see how many, use this command: /run print(format("%s: %d", GetCurrencyInfo(391))) Edited October 1, 2010 by Waldonnis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
