This article lists undocumented changes that have appeared in Patch 2.4.2.
Quests
- The quest The Multiphase Survey from Harbinger Haronem in Shattrath no longer rewards a [Shattered Sun Supplies] upon completion.
Items
- [Design: Purified Shadowsong Amethyst] was added to Shaani.
- An epic version of the [Medallion of the Alliance]/[Medallion of the Horde] has been added to Master Sergeant Biggins/ Brave Stonehide. [1]
- Cat mounts that are standing still have regained an audible roar when pressing the spacebar.
- [Mithril Spurs] enchant text changed from "Mithril Spurs" to "+4% Mount Speed."
- The enchant text for Enchant Gloves - Riding Skill has changed from "Riding Skill" to "+2% Mount Speed."
- The cooldown of Power Circle granted by [Shifting Naaru Sliver] has been lowered from 2 minutes to 1.5 minute.
- The buff granted by [Shard of Contempt] has been renamed to "Disdain" to avoid confusion with the Shaman ability [Heroism].
- The Scryer proc on the [Shattered Sun Pendant of Might] now has the same sound as a warrior charge.
Sound
- The Warrior's [Bloodrage] and [Berserker Rage] abilities and the troll [Berserking] and orc [Blood Fury] racial abilities have a new sound associated with them. This same sound is also used with shaman's [Bloodlust].
User interface
- Chat filters have been fixed.
- Lines that wrap in chat frames are now indented all subsequent lines after the first.
- The "Mount" line has been added to the tooltips of all mounts.
- Sending an
\n
to chat no longer instantly logs players out.\r
cannot be used to place a newline in your messages. Chat messages will be truncated on these codes. If the resulting message length is 0, and channel is "say", "yell", or "emote" other players will see emotes "<player> says something unintelligible.", "<player> yells at his team members.", or "<player> makes some strange gestures." respectively. In most other channels empty messages will be displayed. - Players' deaths now correctly appear in the combat log.
- Confirmation messages when looting BoP items that only you can loot are back.
- Spaces are added when a character talks in excess of 1 line, this is to prevent players from impersonating a player.
- Weapon oils placed in a guild bank now show the correct number of charges left.

- Minimap:PingLocation(0,0) is now a restricted function to the Blizzard UI only if you are currently targeting area of effect spell. [3]
- CombatLogSetCurrentEntry() behavior for negative and zero ids is shifted by 1 position. Newest is at 0 (was at -1), oldest is at -CombatLogGetNumEntries() + 1 (was at -CombatLogGetNumEntries())
- Most if not all constants for plural forms (<CONSTANT_NAME>_P1) are eliminated and singular ones updated to use new "|4" escape sequence for generating plural forms.
- New 6th parameter "addToStart" added to ScrollingMessageFrame:AddMessage. When true, adds new message to the opposite end of the message frame.
