Disguises stack with shadowform now! It used to be that things like turning into a human in Old Hillsbrad or the Halloween wands would cancel shadowform, which made me sad because it meant that I could never join into the costuming fun in raids if I wanted to stay effective. Last night in AV a random stranger gave me a ninja costume... and I become a shadow ninja! Can't wait to run Old Hillsbrad like that.

My Spectral Tiger mount now does a cool ghostly roar every time you press the jump button while standing still.

My favorite little thing with 2.3 were the tooltip changes to Combat Mana Potions. It used to be a nightmare figuring out which stack (I keep 4 stacks of 10) I had depleted since they all had the same name and icon. It was a game of trial and error figuring which Mana Potion I was using for which Battleground. It's much easier now:

"An old bootleg recipe from the Arathi Basin farm."

"Extracted from the frozen waters of Alterac Valley."

"Sifted from the twisting nether of the Eye of the Storm."

"Distilled only within the hollow log of Warsong Gulch."

It's a small touch Blizzard really should have thought of in the beginning. Better late than never.

The animation of the Apexis Relics around Orgi'la has been changed slightly. It will display a bright circle now when it's your turn to click the colors.

Gnome females have larger shoulders and more importantly larger casting particles.

For example the fire surrounding your hands is bigger when you cast a fire spell, and the shield that pops over your head is bigger when you cast an armor spell. They are now equal to male gnomes in the respect and no longer have super tiny casting effects!

the global cooldown change.

i also consider it interesting that wowinsider has chosen not to cover the biggest mess up blizzard has made in recent memory, considering the 3000+ post thread in the forums regarding the topic.

The world map pulses red on the borders if you're attacked while you're looking at it.

And the L70 Elite Tauran Chieftan up on the balcony in Silvermoon. You can /wave and they'll wave back, /cheer... I'm still figuring out what other remotes they respond to.

The hit box on the mail box in front of the org bank is smaller, its the only one I have tried but its damn annoying.

The ground foliage (ground "clutter" in the options) no longer 'pops' into view 20 yards in front of you while moving through wooded areas such as Felwood for example. This has bugged me since day 1 because that shouldn't happen when all graphic options are maxed out. It does still happen actually, but its waaaaaay far out almost to the horizon now, and barely noticeable.

The little text in the chatbox that used to say you were getting tipsy, drunk, smashed etc now telling everyone exactly WHAT you were getting drunk from.

On my computer at least, enchanting/base item glows have gotten almost ridiculous. I don't mind, my Staff of Polarities looks like a black hole while I'm in shadowform.

Consecrate no longer shows up as a glowy circle on the ground.

On my priest I've noticed that the aura around me when I'm shielded sometimes disappears several seconds before the buff actually expires. I have to look at the icon up top with my other buffs to see if it's still working.

With the new gold ! on the minimap over available quests I have found new quests I missed before.

The one thing that reeeeeally ticks me off, which is most noticeable in BG's, is that when you kill someone, the auto-select for the next person to go after defaults to whatever pet is nearest. Whether it's a lock's demon or a hunter's pet, it will skip the 5 people right in front of me to target the pet on the other side of the crowd. I have to hit tab multiple times to find a real character to target, and half the time, it just keeps going back and forth between pets. REALLY annoying, and has resulted in some bad pulls from pets not even interested in me.

Just noticed this last night (thought it was a bug) but the npc that previously stood between the two docks leading to the lifts in southern barrens (The Great Lift), was moved to the bottom of the lift, likely so alliance can travel south onto the lift and not get attacked/flagged by him just trying to get there.

What I've noticed is odd pet behavior, not just for hunters, but warlocks as well (and I do like that the warlock pets also attempt to attack from behind the enemy).

But the change has caused an issue with the pathing of the pets. I was running some people through vc, and when I was on the top of the boat (flat surface, mind you) and commanded my pet to attack van cleef in the room, my pet proceeded to run behind me and back down the boat! And this happened 3 times in a row! Fortunately he behaved after that.

Bad thing is, the poor pet pathing in instances can accidentally pull WAY more aggro than intended and cause a wipe. I hope blizz fixes this asap.

I've noticed the NEW obscene amount of lag.

The class colors on the guild tab was a pleasant surprise, as well as the new sparkly hilight on herbs.
