The changes aren't in the list because they aren't final yet. Those changes are just a test to see if it does help and if it isn't too OP or not good enough change.

If they survive the PTR, then they will on the Change-log list.

* Creature AI has been changed to no longer prioritize attacking unfeared targets over feared targets.

This is huge. For boss encounters that fear the group, if the healer resists the boss will still attack the tank.

Definitely. Glad to see this in conjunction with the Fear Ward change.

This is the best patch ever!

Maybe I just think that because my main is a night elf priest engineer.

Another nerf to affliction to lower the synergy of SL/SL. /sigh
Yeah, I know its tiny as hell, but still, its like the 7th nerf (all small, yeah, MS debuff wasnt that big either) to affliction in 2.2 and 2.3.

Hopefully its just pre WotLK balancing, that means theres goodies for affliction in the expansion, right?

Making things like steam tonks, mind control, and the Legion Ring (possessions) change your action bar make me surprisingly happy.

The Requirement for Heroic Keys has been lowered to Honored.

^^ That is just gay, they are ruining this game by making it too easy, easier leveling, easier heroics, bla bla bla, people aint got to work anymore, i leveled fishing a week before it was nerfed and i thought it was better cause no one had the patience back then, now everyone fishs, all the people that worked thier *** off think they really wasted thier time!

I can see the point of view where the constant lowering of requirements for 25-man raids/heroics/etc, kind of feel robbed after all the difficult requirements and time consuming task of getting everyone attuned... but look at it this way.

Back when TBC started, everyone was so willing to group for quests, instances, attunement for kara. Once everyone got to 70 and the race for content exploring started, it got harder and harder for those who were more casual, or alts, to get as many groups for such things. Is it fair to those who aren't as dedicated as others who can't farm enough rep for heroics, or not follow the group to get attunements? I have a 63 Rogue atm that i play occasionally, and it is a pain in the ass to get any sort of parties for anything. Perhaps it's just my realm, but i think the upside of letting everyone at least get a chance to touch SSC/TK/Heroics is better than never being able to do them at all.

Look at it this way, if it wasn't so easy to level from 60-70 as it was when TBC came out, and THEN they made it easier, you'd hear the same whining of, "Making it too easy". Those who just surf on the easy leveling/requirements, will get sifted out when it comes to boss encounters.

If this all makes it into the change-log...... I <3 the new patch lol, NO MORE DEDAZONE!!!!!!!!! and MS aimed shot omg. but still the honored Heroic is not making me happy at all, i just finished getting my keys yesterday. people who are (casual) players shouldnt have the gear for heroics anyway and need experience/a LOT of badges from heroics to get anyhthing anyway. i dont agree with the heroic thing at all, so far thats my only dislike in the new patch, the 20-60 leveling or whatever wasnt very nice but its dealable as long as it isnt a hugeeee increase that makes me feel like i wasted my time.

I dont get people, they are complaining that roughly, i dunno, two percent of players who have never hit 70 are getting it easier while they themselves now have a much easier time leveling alts. There are almost no people who have not dinged 70 at least once. So, why shouldnt they make leveling easier? Its not like its ruining the game for everyone, most are just complaining because "they did more work", well you have been 70 for that much longer havent you? Your alt will level that much faster wont it?

Stop whining.

hehe, yeah.

Kida weird seeing people talk about playing a game as being work, and talking about it in serious...

IT'S A GAME!!!!

IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE WORK, BUT SUPPOSED TO BE FUN!

Sorry... Just had to get that off my chest, after having read too many of the 'I wasted half my life getting here, others should waste as much to play too' comments.
