Patch 4.0.3 will be available today! This patch incorporates additional preparations for the release of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm (finally does not fix the Alamurky issue). Although we will see some bug fixes and interface changes, the larger amount of content that we will download today (about 700 Mb) will pave the way for the impending devastation of Azeroth. It won't be long before the world changes forever ...
After the jump you have the Patch Notes 4.0.3.
General
- Much of the download content for patch 4.0.3 will set the stage for the cataclysm that will take place in Azeroth shortly before the release of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm the December 7.
- The leader of the Wintergrasp raids can no longer kick players out of it (this change will also apply to Tol Barad in Cataclysm).
- When using an Instance Portal for a particular instance while in a Dungeon Finder party, players will now appear at the Dungeon Finder entry point instead of that portal's normal destination. This will make it easier to return to the instance after dying when in a dungeon finder party.
- Honor kills will no longer be awarded for killing players below level 5.
User interface
- Pets have been added to the new raid unit frames when displayed in a group.
- The default UI scaling has been changed to a 1: 1 pixel / texel ratio. This will reduce the appearance of the UI on high resolution monitors.
- Players can now adjust the local "Delay Tolerance" time for greater spell casting accuracy. This is an exclusive feature for advanced users found in the Interface Options (Combat) panel.
Error correction
- Macros now better transition between spell variables. For example, Trap Launcher causes a different version of Frost Trap to be cast. Previously the macro system did not perform this transition correctly.
- Queuing in the Dungeon Finder for a different wing of the instance the player is in now works properly. For example, a group can queue for Scarlet Monastery - Library after completing Scarlet Monastery - Graveyard.
- Killing High Interrogator Gerstahn before killing Emperor Dagran Thaurissan in Blackrock Depths - High Suburb with the Random Dungeon Finder will now award the appropriate reward. This also applies to Archmage Arugal and Chemists La Corona, SL chiefs at Darkfang Castle during the Love in the Air event.
- Now repeatedly inspecting other players should work correctly.
- Area healing over time effects no longer cause players to stand up.
- Male blood elves have received dance lessons and now know how to stop dancing when they run.
- Drake Mounts have gotten tired of gliding and will flap their wings again when they fly forward.
- Druid Flight Form now appears correctly in the spellbook before learning Expert Rider.
- Sunfire's damage over time effect now deals the same damage rate as Moonfire's damage over time effect.
- GM inquiry messages should now move the benefit icons instead of hiding them.
