WoW Patch 2.2

Posted on by

Now available on the World of Warcraft Public Test Realm, Patch 2.2 — patch notes.

Rogues: Sap duration against PvP targets has been reduced to 10 seconds.

NOOOOOOOOOoooooOOOOooooooOOOOO!

Goddamit. Where did that Developer Who Loves Rogues More Than Life Itself go?? He on vacation? I see that the Developer Who Conceptualized Lightwell And Will Defend Its Value To The Death is still at work, but where’s my rogue guy?

Actually, looks like everyone’s PVP crowd control abilities were dropped to 10 seconds, which is fair, but juggling two PVP targets in the battlegrounds was one of the few joys in my World of Warcraft life. Well, that and killing warlock pets.

Here’s a fun World of Warcraft miscalculation: the European servers passed out netherdrakes and Gladiator titles to arena team members without regard to rank or activity. Good luck tracking down that bug, the anecdotal evidence is all over the place on who got free stuffs and why. (Some Euro server threads if you’re into math mysteries: The 0.5% braket for Gladiator became 50%, Season end – Rewards and Ranks totally messed, and, Why did i and many others get a Drake + gladiator?)

Related? Rolling Restarts 6/21/07:

We will be issuing rolling restarts at 5:00 a.m. PDT for all realms to implement a fix for Arena points. We anticipate each realm to be down for approximately 15 minutes once their restart begins.

Man. I never get to enjoy fun bugs. I only get the crap where I accidentally sell off rare, legendary class items then get disco’d from the game, roasting my buyback log. True story — still pissed about that one.

Ranged Capture of the Flag is Safer

I haven’t seen this alleged World of Warcraft battleground exploit in action yet, cuz dammit, I never find these good exploits early enough to have any fun with them: “AV Flag Hacking Out of Control”. Since I haven’t seen it, I can’t confirm it works or exists, but basically players are allegedly capping the Aid Station (or Relief Hut) flag from a longer distance than is appropriate, or reasonable. Then some arguments broke out, which is really what’s fun about this thread.
