New patch to the beta servers

By claypidgeon

Blizzard rolled out another 235 MB patch to the beta realms tonight.  Although the patch notes haven’t been officially released (yet), I logged in and scanned the forums just long enough to find out what some of the changes were.

At least one person reported that the barber shops were now working, so I’ll have to give that a try on another day.  Another person suggested changes had been made to the Ebon Hold Death Knight starting area, perhaps tuning the quests in that area.

The most exciting news I heard was that runic power no longer decays!  There’s no telling at this point if this is a bug or an intentional change, but folks were reporting that after building up their runic power bar to full, it remained there even after leaving combat for several minutes.  That would be a very welcome change, in my opinion, provided it doesn’t come as a trade for something else.

As I hear more on this development and the official patch notes, I’ll keep you posted.

Thanks for dropping by!

    I saw that potion sickness now affects all potions. This seems to be a “fix” for chaining potions in raid encounters. Have you seen this in action at all yet?

    I was only on long enough to re-spend my talent points before logging off again, so I didn’t get to expirement yet. I think I’ll add a new page of questions people have asked and then attempt to work them off. Unfortunately DNS is down at my work ISP at the moment, so this is being posted from my phone :-(
