It's a familiar cycle with every patch -- some changes get properly documented in the official patch notes while other changes are sadly forgotten. However, industrious inividuals on the forums always band together to collect even the tiniest of changes into a community collection of undocumented patch notes. For 2.2, these are being compiled by Viral of Stormrage -- with the help of many an attentive player. The current list, for those of you who don't have access to the forums, is after the jump, but full details (complete with lots of rumor and debate) you have to go to the source.World
- New music added to Honor Hold as well as the inns of Ironforge and Stormwind
- Cho Threadstrong has new sayings he shouts at the fruit vendor (poor fruit vendor)
- Griftah unceremoniously ousted from Shattrath. Now sadly selling his fine wares (at unreasonably cheap prices!) in Terrokar Forest, just outside of the city's south-eastern tunnel at 36, 30 (Thanks, Meadows)
- Orc shoulders and off-hand weapons fixed (possible overcompensation for previous bug?)
- Male night elf shoulders arc differently (possible bug?)
- Cyclone graphic changed to, and I quote, "look more awesome." Awesomeness confirmed
- Evocation's graphic effect updated, seems to be a blue version of the confirmed-awesome cyclone update
- Windfury finishes the updated cyclone trilogy, now larger and darker; fans are divided!
- Prayer of Mending received a new animation
- Hurricane visually seems more selective, targeting victims with bolts of lightening bolts followed by loud booms
- Nethermine Ravager's rock shell ability received a new spell effect
- Druid Moonkin form has a new bandaging/crafting/using animation
- Red Ogre Suit is now fixed; weapons scaled down and now seat properly when sheathed
- Non-combat pets now have a 1-second cool-down between summoning and unsummoning
- Aquadynamic Fish Attractors now officially say the duration is 10 minutes as opposed to 5
- Crashn' Thrashn' Robot now will walk around a small area instead of standing in one spot
- Merciless Gladiator's Satin Gloves graphic has been changed from slim and tight to look like the bulky Merciless Gladiator's Mooncloth Gloves
- Fishing: Bobber splash at the end of the timer is adjusted so you don't have to instantly click for fear of missing
- Fishing: The fishing line now instantly appears when you cast
- Relic's Emanation daily quest money reward decreased while the Ogri'la faction reward was increased (documented somewhere but apparently not well known so here it is. Huzzah!)
- Skettis escort quest reward reduced to 9 gold from 11 gold, 99 silver
- Disenchant received a new icon
- Wide screen UI scales differently
- UI Scaling in general appears to be a bit funky and requires some tweaking
- New Auction house alert: "A buyer has been found for your auction of X"
- Error speech re-enabled by default. You require more vespene gas
- One hour delay on receiving currency from successful auctions (there seems to be confusion as to where this note was actually posted so for sanity's sake here it is, possibly again)
- Windowed game begins in the center of the screen instead of the upper-left corner
- New software reverb audio option
- Ogri'la reputation now goes to 999/1000 exalted
- Voidwalker's Suffering spell seems to work immediately when button is selected (what, no more "I can't do that yet?")
- Blessing of Sacrifice is on a 30 second cooldown, not the 1 minute listed in the patch notes

Just seen the worst news for rogues, as if this patch is not nerfing us to ashes:
The lamers, touched by the cries of some lifeless fraging arsehols had moved the chests in mech so rogues cant farm them.
I really am beginning to believe that blizz just want all rogues to go to heaven.

I don't know, I quite liked the change that pets won't keep following and attacking a rogue who Vanishes, or that earthbind totems don't dispell Stealth anymore.

@5: Really? Woo! Oh wait, I'm an elemental shaman. Dammit!
My guildies also mentioned that zeppelins have new sound effects, and the zeppelin masters will now shout when a zepp comes in.

The goblin gumbo from the card game is now "unique". So you can't plop down the tub and stock up anymore. But now it seems that anyone can click the tub and get the gumbo, as opposed to just getting 5 every time your drop it.

# Wide screen UI scales differently

THANK GOD!!!! I thought I was going crazy, the in-game screen is in widescreen mode, however the UI seems to be in a fullscreen mode :\
Spent an hour mucking around trying to figure out what the heck was wrong. Now I know its blizzards fault! limey bastids!
Still can't get the issue fixed however... anyone with tips?

When standing and then eating and drinking, when the timers are up, you will automatically stand back up.

Oh, also, the range indicator icon on buttons not on your standard toolbar got changed from a small red or white dash to a red or white oval, making visibility higher.

The standard Skettis mobs (Soulcallers, etc.) now give 10 rep instead of 5...and the Kaliri birds also give 10 rep. Nice!

WTB [Comprehensive Patch Notes]
Anyway, I noticed the fishing changes today. Since when is Aquadynamic Fish Attractor ten minutes? Has it been ten for a while just been labeled as five? Not that I'm complaining. I love fishing and I'll take any buffs to it that I can get.

Wait.. Druids don't have to shift out of flight form to herb? PLEASE tell me that's a joke? Druids can't 'land' in flight form- if we have to land and dismount to pick herbs and the extra time that entails, why do they get out of it?

Paladins Blessing of Protection and Blessing of Freedom also got new animations, and are more "awesome"
the zeppelin announcer guy is also in Org as well...makes me wonder if there are corresponding boat announcers in menethil, theramore, and auberdine
and most fantastic, as was noted a few weeks ago, the enchant ring +12 spell power chant now costs only 2 large prismatic and 2 greater planar..instead of 8 and 8...making me a very happy chanter...

@15: Surely you've heard people say druids make, among other things, great node farmers? They can stealth in, they can Travel Form b/t relatively close nodes, fly to others, Tauren druids get +15 to herbalism, etc. Now they just get a little better. One of the many reasons people say druids are one of the most fun classes in the game. I don't even play a druid and am happy for them.

@14 -- Yeah, the Aquadynamic Fish Attractors have been 10 minutes for several months, at least, although the tooltip said 5. I'm not complaining, either. :)

2 Other things i noticed in game that changed that im not sure where listed in either patch notes.
Blessing of Protection has a new Animation... or a old one that last longer, a winged Crown floats above the person thats been blessed, Kind of reminds me of a "hit me with a spell" target
Plus up on the ridge where you do the Shat Skyguard main quests, the prices for the water have increased to 36 (i think) silver from the 60 some copper it used to be *crys*

@15 Actually druids in flight form can land. I discovered this one day when pressing x to see if there was a fast way to go down while flying. I went all the way down and perched on top of a hut in Blades Edge.
