Undocumented 2.2 Patch Notes
#1
The normal patch notes can of course be found here however there are many changes that are not mentioned in the notes and I figured I'd post them. Taken from WorldofRaids.
Undocumented 2.2 Patch Notes

As in every patch, there are always changes omitted from the official patch notes, Viral of Stormrage, together with the wow community made a compilation of these undocumented changes, which one can be seen below:

World
- New music added to Honor Hold as well as the inns of Ironforge, Stormwind, and Ratchet(I hope this includes Horde inns/towns too)
- Cho Threadstrong has new sayings he shouts at the fruit vendor (poor fruit vendor)

- Flavor text added to goblins at zeppelin flight points
- Chests in Tempest Keep: Mechanar have had their spawn locations change slightly making it impossible (or more difficult...never underestimate a players's tenacity) to solo
- Boats received new music (again? confirm?)

Character Models, Animation, & Spell Effects
- Orc shoulders and off-hand weapons fixed (possible overcompensation for previous bug?)

UI & Game Mechanics
- Disenchant received a new icon

It's pretty sad, but this was done because apparently people were falling for his scams and petitioning GM's about the items. People getting scammed by a static NPC...

Thanks for posting this. I didn't think I remembered Nagrand elementals being minable before Big Grin

No, they are not fixed. Now they're tauren-sized. *sighs*
Though I am happy about the offhand scale being set right.

So I'm NOT the old one who thinks the orc shoulders look bigger then!

Oh, and according to the GM behind him, Grifftah's move is not because of stupid players, but an experiment in advancing game plots, and was intended from the begining.
