2.3 Changes, blue posts, atlas

More 2.3 Patch Notes changes
A few changes have been added to the patch notes again (or maybe I just missed them the first time). The major change this time is probably the removal of engineering skill requirements on [item=33093] and [item=33092]. Theses changes aren't on the PTR yet so we can't really preview the new reagents for the 74A Repair Bot (It is the old one, not the one added in 2.3)

Engineering

• Engineering potion injectors no longer require engineering skill to use.
• Jumper Cables XL is no longer a trinket.
• The materials required for the Field Repair Bot 74A have been simplified.
  

World Environment

• Gas clouds in Nagrand now produce motes of air.
• Gas clouds in Zangarmarsh now produce motes of water instead of motes of life.

2.3 Testing

• There are still no plans to have pre-mades for 2.3. (Source)
• Reaching Zul'aman is way too dangerous for Alliance Players on PvP realms. Blizzard plans to add guards and also look at how the area is flagged to see if they can make some changes. (Source)

PvP

• The requirements to get titles and rewards at the end of season 2 might change to prevent "inactive teams" from getting them. Blizzard will provide a two weeks notice before the end of season 2 to announce any changes to how they determine which teams would be considered "eligible". (Source)
• The arena rating requirement to buy arena rewards is required at the time of purchase only, you can freely use the item once it's bought even if your rating is lower. (Source)

Hunters

• There was no change to normal melee range. There is a bug involving abilities with 8 yard minimum range, and it is being looked at. (Source)

Professions

• All non-gathering professions should get something special, viable, and unique to the crafter in Wrath of the Lich King. (Source)

Raid & Dungeons

• 25 Players raids are fine, they don't plan to change the amount of players in WotLK or later. (Source)

Items

• The 45 seconds hidden cooldown on [item=25893] is an intended change (and nerf), the proc rate has been increased though. (Source)

Interface

• Multi-lines macroed messages should be allowed again in guild chat and private channel with 25 people or less. (Source)
• The maximum tab targeting range is limited to 50 in 2.3. (Source)

World of Warcraft Online Atlas
The official site has been updated with a Flash Atlas (Be careful, auto sound on), there are a few interesting information on it and it looks nice. (However depending on how good your eyes are, you might not find it very readable ^^)

Professions

* All gathering professions should get something special, viable, and unique to the crafter in Wrath of the Lich King.

You may want to change it BouBou. What blue said is NON-gathering profession.

Greetz

the injectors are just like normal health-/mana-pots only with increased stacksize, so no.

"Blizzard will provide a two weeks notice before the end of season 2"

So this means atleast 3 weeks of waiting for 2.3?

[Boubouille]

As far as I know the Season 3 won't start when the 2.3 goes live. (But I could be wrong)
