Patch 4.2.2 on Test Realms soon

Patch 4.2.2 on Test Realms soon?
A wild Patch 4.2.2 appeared on the test realms download servers a couple of hours ago, and it looks like we'll go through a bugfix patch before we get to see Patch 4.3.

Important - Most of these changes are nothing more than tooltip fixes to reflect Patch 4.2 Hotfixes already active on live servers. I'm mostly documenting them for the sake of it.

    Awh, but I want 4.3 PTR... Oh well, I guess my patience will handle the wait.

    A wild Missingno patch indeed.

    nerf on necromantic focus? -.-" i can understand anymodifier on spell but not items already spent with dkp. InsTead of that trinket i could get another like ragnaros trinket

    can they just add y'now, ANY dps plate shoulders?
  1. Gohzerlock's Avatar
    Necromantic focus was pretty lackluster to begin with... was taking away 3 mastery per stack really necessary? I mean now moonwell chalice just ruins this raid trinket, for that matter so does darkmoon card.
    It was bad enough the ragnaros trinket is just terrible.

    Guild name change? :O

    And about time Occu got his achievement.

    But I don't see the logic behind bringing this to the PTR. :/

    Wild patch 4.2.2 appeared! Wild patch 4.2.2 used Confusion It's super effective! Player is now confused. Player fainted.

    When the ptr opens it'll probably be much bigger than this, it's not like they need to test achievements and tooltip changes, and that's all I can see described there...

    So apparently the PTR wants me to download ~7.8 gigs of data. Is the PTR patch not available to download yet? And if so, how do I get my client to fully recognize that it already has the full PTR client? Seems like to me it's trying to download other language packs...

    yes, has been for a few days already.

    Pretty sure this is mostly to test the Brazilian version.

    And finally the rag shoulders are now actually worthy to use as a tank.
    Just tooltip updates, this stuff has been in for a while. I was confused last week when I tried to reforge the Hit from my shoulders into Mastery and the button wouldn't click. (Because the hit really already was mastery, confirmed on character sheet by removing the shoulders).

    There are no buffs or nerfs. The tooltips for a lot of items are displaying incorrectly.

    yay for new patch

    You mean its been asking people to download all that data since the 4.2 PTR shut down? (Or for a week)
  1. Schizoide's Avatar
    Except for the achievements, this ENTIRE patch is tooltip updates, assuming that MMO-champ's datamining didn't miss anything. All of those changes are already live.
