World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.3.0 (2005-03-22)

Diremaul
Diremaul, a new dungeon for players level 56-60, is now open and
ready for business. Diremaul is populated by a fierce tribe of ogres
and is located in the western region of Feralas. Diremaul will be
limited groups of no more than five players each.

New Outdoor Raid Bosses
Two new outdoor raid bosses have been introduced to Azeroth.
Azuregos, a monstrous blue dragon, has landed in Azshara, while
Lord Kazzak the demon can be found in the Tainted Scar of the Blasted
Lands.

Meeting Stones
Meeting Stones are located outside of each dungeon to help players
find a group to adventure with in the dungeon. The meeting stone will
try to find you a viable five-person group by looking for a tank, a
healer, and so on. As time passes and you are unable to find a group,
the meeting stone will become less picky about who it groups you with.

Dungeon Player Caps
All dungeons now have a cap on group size to limit the number of
players that may enter the dungeon. It was necessary to add this cap
as raiding these dungeons trivialized much of the content. Because of
this change we can now look to adding better loot to them during future
content patches.

With that in mind, the dungeons below now have the following caps:
Onyxia/Molten Core - 40 members
Blackrock Spire - 15 members
Diremaul - 5 members
All other dungeons in the game will be capped at 10 members.
Several dungeons will be re-examined for balancing in light of this
change. In addition, will have their loot improved significatnly for
the next content patch.

General
- Previously, in many cases, a Block, Parry, or Dodge was translated
into a "Miss," thus causing confusion over actual miss rates. We've
made the following changes in an attempt to be more clear as to what
is actually happening in combat:
* Block: All creatures will now report a Block on attacks from the
front, reducing damage caused instead of converting the attack into
a "Miss." Creatures will no longer be able to Block attacks from
behind.
* Dodge: Every time a creature Dodges, it will report a Dodge. We
will no longer translate a creature's Dodge of a rear attack to a
"Miss."
* Parry: All creatures will now report a Parry on attacks from the
front instead of translating them into a "Miss." Creatures will no
longer be able to Parry attacks from behind.
- Blocking an ability that takes place on the next swing now blocks the
normal amount of damage instead of all of it.
- Skill-up rate improved for bows, crossbows, guns, thrown, and wands.
- Improved line of sight for large creatures.
- In-game mail sent from GMs will now use official Blizzard stationery.
- The Drunk effect has been greatly enhanced.
- If you resurrect without releasing your spirit, your resurrection
timer will decrease normally.
- You can no longer accept a warlock summoning while you are in combat.
- Increased stun resistance will now also help resist some non-melee
based stun spells from creatures.
- Mounts now are Horde or Alliance restricted in the tooltip. We do
not intend to allow Horde players to ride Alliance vendor-purchased
mounts and vice versa.

PvP
- Most humanoids NPCs have gained the ability to swim.
- Numbers and punctuation will not be passed through chat communication
to members of the opposing faction.
- Spells in PvP now have a slight increase in range and area of effect
when targets are moving. This should improve the overall usability of
spells and ranged attacks.
- Priests can no longer kill players with Shadow Word: Pain and Mind
Control in duels.
- Certain key NPCs (such as bankers and auctioneers) in the cities and
main outposts are now harder to kill. Additionally, when they die,
they will respawn more quickly.
- Patrolling scouts that can see through stealth and invisibility have
been added to both Orgrimmar and Ironforge.
- Players under Mind Control pass reputation changes due to kills to
the controlling player, and do not receive the reputation
changes themselves.
- You cannot see your enemies' buffs while you are charmed.
- Dueling players can now cast helpful spells on their allies
(but not vice versa).

Druid
- Training costs adjusted. Total training cost was decreased.
- Rebirth - Casting time and mana cost reduced; now ignores
resurrection timers.

- Gift of the Wild - This spell is now cast on the target's party.
- Cat Form - DPS increase at levels 40-60.

Finishing move that causes damage per combo point and converts each
extra point of energy into additional damage.

becomes as tough as bark. Physical damage taken is reduced. While
protected, taking damage will not cause spellcasting delays, but

36) - Converts an amount of rage into health every second for a
short duration.

Rogue
- A number of areas in the world now have footlockers in them.
These areas are in place for rogues to visit to increase their
lockpicking skills. The contents of these footlockers are only token
amounts of treasure, but they should allow for a more interesting
experience while increasing lockpicking skill. The difficulty of the
locks in the area correspond to the level of the zone, so if your
lockpicking skill is around 100, you would go to Durnholde Keep in
Hillsbrad. But if your skill is 250, you might head to Tyr’s Hand in
Eastern Plaguelands.

have the same quest you do. When you are in a group, it will display

parenthesis to the left of the quest name. If you mouse over the
quest name, it will display the names of the other players in the
party who have the quest in the bottom right hand corner of the
screen.
- Chat bubbles have been added to the game. Now when a player or NPC
uses a /say or /yell chat command, it is displayed in the game screen
by default as a chat bubble as well as in the chat log. It displays
above the head of the character talking, but only if you can see the
character. This functionality can be turned off should you desire.

default. Both options are turned on or off in the "Interface" options
window.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.2.4 (2005-02-22)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- We have deployed a client-side change that should improve
performance when large numbers of players are gathered in a small
area of the world. No other changes are included with this emergency
patch.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.2.3 (2005-02-15)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PvP Duels
Dueling across factions remains intact in the patch, in consideration
of players' desires to duel members of the opposing faction.

*This is a minor patch to address localization issues discovered
during the European beta test. These changes affect localized text
strings for French and German versions of the game only, and players
in other regions will not see any changes to the game.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.2.2 (2005-02-15)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Paladin
Seal of the Crusader: Fixed a bug where damage per swing was
increasing instead of decreasing when Seal of the Crusader was active.
This resulted in a dramatic increase in damage per second (DPS) that
was unintended. The tooltip for the spell displays the intent of
the spell:

"Fills the Paladin with the spirit of a crusader, granting additional
attack power. The Paladin also attacks faster, but deals less damage
with each attack."

The overall increase in DPS from Seal of the Crusader should only
result from the increase in attack power and not from the increase in
attack speed. We understand this is a significant decrease in the
power of this spell, but was a necessary bug fix to ensure both
overall game balance and the viability of different Paladin Seals.


Localization
- Various text strings and audio have been corrected for the French and
German versions of the game.


Macs
- Fixed a bug that incorrectly enabled the vertex animation shader
option on some GPU's that do not support it. This bug was causing
player character models in-game and in the character selection screen
to appear invisible or distorted. The fix should benefit users with
NVIDIA GeForce 2MX or 4MX GPU's and ATI Radeon 7000/7500 GPU's. It
should no longer be necessary to manually turn off the vertex
animation feature on these systems - it should now be off and
disabled automatically.


Bug Fixes
- Group loot has been fixed to work as originally intended. It will now
work exactly like round robin does, with the exception that when an
item of threshold level or above drops, it will use the auto-rolling
system. (Prior to this fix, when in group loot mode, the round robin
system was only being used for items (all players could loot coins),
which was rather confusing).
- Fixed a group loot permission bug that was telling players they did
not have permission to loot.
- Fixed a bug that was causing the game to freeze when scrolling
through auctions in the Auction House.
- Murlocs play the drown animation when they die underwater now.
- Onyxia correctly hovers instead of standing in midair.
- You can target vocal emotes again.
- Pets and summoned creatures attacking enemies will now tap the
enemies for their owners.
- Fixed a bug with Troll Shamans and the Berserk ability. Troll Shamans
can only go Berserk when they are in the wounded state.
- Rogues now correctly gain Lockpicking skill from items picked in the
trade window.
- Quests that require you to follow/escort an NPC will only complete
when you arrive at the designated area.
- Horde and Alliance members cannot duel with each other regardless of
realm type.
- Herbs and mineral nodes will remain active if they are not fully
emptied.
- Fixed a bug that was giving higher damage-per-second (DPS) to
Steelarrow Crossbow and Blackcrow than was intended.
- Sell prices on Hypnotic Blade, Illusionary Rod, Mantle of Doan, and
Robe of Doan have been lowered.
- Players who have completed the quest to summon Kirtonos may now
obtain the Blood of Innocents from Doctor Theolen Krastinov.
- The tooltip for the Warrior's Intercept ability has been updated to
reflect the proper rage cost. Using Intercept now requires 10 rage,
not 15 rage. The tooltip now accurately reflects that.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.2.1 (2004-12-21)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes

- Rolling for items in the French and German will now work properly.
- Resolved an issue with looting in click to move mode that could cause crashes.
- Performance issues occurring with certain CPUs have been resolved.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.2.0 (2004-12-21)

Happy Holidays!
The holidays are here and the citizens of Azeroth are celebrating the
occasion with festive decorations and winter time activities. Keep an
eye out for some fun and exciting surprises throughout the world!


New Dungeon - Maraudon
In the vast gray of Desolace lies the earthen tomb of Zaetar, fallen
Keeper of the Grove and son of Cenarius.* Zaetar rejected his Keeper
heritage when he joined with the princess of the chaotic earth
elementals, Theradras. Their unholy union gave birth to the misshapen
and cursed centaur, who promptly slew their father for his part in
their misbegotten creation. Fearful of Cenarius' wrath, the
grief-stricken Theradras sequestered her dead lover's body in her
secret sanctuary, the Crystal Caverns of Therramok, where she watches
over him to this day. Travelers who come to Desolace have little
trouble spotting Zaetar's tomb, for the blessing of nature that
permeates his being transformed his resting place into a verdant
paradise of flora and tranquil pools. Today, this tomb is now trodden
by the hooves of Zaetar's children, who have claimed this great cavern
as their sacred stronghold Maraudon.

Maraudon, a level 40-49 dungeon in Desolace, is now open and ready for
business.


Cloak & Helm Graphics

General

in looking for group functionality will be added in future patches.

that free-for-all PvP will only take place on the floor of the arena,

creatures.*The Green Hills of Stranglethorn and Big Game Hunter

Rumors of Onyxia, an enormous black dragon, have been heard through
out Azeroth. Be sure to bring many brave warriors for she won’t
take kindly to intruders in her lair. Both factions will need to
complete unique, and challenging quests to gain access to the
Onyxia encounter. **During the beta testing there will be a
temporary placeholder vendor who sells keys to Onyxia’s lair for
testing purposes.

Discovered in the heart of Blackrock Mountain beyond the Depths,
lies the Molten Core. Within the Molten Core lives a multitude of
ancient and powerful evil. Adventurers be ware, for the dangers found
within the Molten Core are many and takes many forms.

**Raid loot is being worked on and temporary loot has been placed in
raid encounters


New Kodo mounts!
There is but one creature in all of Kalimdor that possesses the
strength and stamina to bear a tauren rider into battle: the
majestic kodo beast. Swifter and slightly smaller than their
wild cousins, kodo mounts nevertheless demonstrate the same
resilience and fearlessness found in their untamed brethren, traits
that serve them well when bearing their equally resolute riders. It
is said that only the most virtuous of tauren can win the affection
of a kodo war mount, for these mighty beasts only serve those that
approach them with honor and respect in
their hearts.

Tauren players will no longer have the Plainsrunning ability, due
to the availability of Kodo mounts! Tauren players can purchase the
Kodo mount at Bloodhoof village.

**Currently there is an active bug that prevents players from
purchasing mounts from different races regarding of reputation, this
bug will be addressed in the next patch.
