Patch chronology

Patches • Patches category

This article lists all of Patch 3.0.8's undocumented changes.

See the main article for the official list of documented changes.

General

  • The time needed to open chests and pick up quest items from the ground has been significantly reduced.
  • The Blizzard Launcher has a new appearance.
  • The number of Troll Roof Stalkers has been increased.
  • Teleportation effects (at least with regards to outdoor Northrend areas) now cause a loading screen to appear, instead of just instantly moving you to the new location (with accompanying loading lag). This is true for hearthstones, and quest teleports like the K3 teleporter.
  • Weapon skill points can no longer be gained from attacking mobs that are immune to combat.
  • Performing a /kiss command on Mojo will no longer increase your buff size on a mount, but instead will dismount you and transform you into a frog.
  • The racial restrictions was also lifted from the pre-Patch 1.4.0 epic mounts, instead of excluding these. This was likely a blanket approach to all mounts to save time, as including nor excluding the old mounts would change what races have them.

Achievements

PvP

Lake Wintergrasp

  • Tenacity effect has been lowered. Now improving your health, healing, and health regen by 18% (down from 25%) and increasing your damage dealt by 14% (down from 18%).
  • Restricted Flight Area duration increased from 8 to 9 seconds.
  • Rewards added for [Wintergrasp Mark of Honor]: [2]
  • Money achievement Destruction Derby has been fixed, as a consequence all players will need to re-earn it.
  • Inv essenceofwintergrasp [Essence of Wintergrasp] icon has been changed.
  • Zone-wide buff, Tower Control, added when controlling the southern tower, increasing damage by 5%.

  • Spell DeathKnight SummonDeathCharger Acherus Deathcharger and Ability Mount Dreadsteed Ability mount ebonblade [Winged Steed of the Ebon Blade] have had each other's icons swapped; this is most likely a bug.
  • Contrary to the official patch notes, the cooldown on Howling Blast has not been removed. It has been reduced from 6 seconds to 5 seconds. The tooltip doesn't explain this, but if you try to hit Howling Blast twice in quick succession it will not work.
