3.3.0a Hits the Live Server

[Lindline]

If you haven't played in a few days (does the daystar still burn?), you may have missed the mini-patch that came down the pipes. What it actually does is anyone's guess. Supposedly, there are a few bug fixes. But since Blizzard didn't feel it necessary to tell us what is actually getting fixed, I'll just have to make my own patch notes.

Minor Patch 3.3.0a - Lesser Fail of the Lich King

- Dungeon queue length estimates are now better at making me think it'll be a short wait for my DPSer.

- The grass in all Alliance starting zones has had its green pigment increased.

- My Quel-Delar is now more shiney.

- And of course, the cooldown on Onyxia's Deep Breath ability has be slightly reduced.

Feel free to post about what you think has changed in the comments below. Its up to us to figure it out.

On the more official side of this patch, the team had this to say about it.

* Raid Assistants are unable to perform ready checks.


Dungeons & Raids


* Escape from Durnhold - At the end of the Escape from Durnholde instance Erozion teleports you back to Caverns of Time rather than where you entered the instance from.

I dont think that is the patch notes, but a list a of the known issues from 3.3 (it doesnt read like patch notes either)

[TheMuffinMan]

It seems it was just a bunch of Mac fixes

Patch 3.3.0a
Fast trackpad gestures on a Mac in 10.6 generate so many gesture events that it causes extreme lag.

Vertical sync is not working for Macs.

Macs do not register slow mouse wheel scrolling in WoW.

The Mac Command keys are triggering Autorun when used with a motion key.
