Fishing

  • A new mouse cursor has been added, in the shape of a fishing hook.
  • About two extra seconds of leeway added before the channel of fishing expires, giving more tolerance to catch the fish for lag or slow reflexes.

User Interface

  • The three statuses (Red, Yellow, Green) are shown in the taskbar button of Windows 7 and Windows Vista if the content is not fully downloaded.
  • Mousing over the Game Menu icon now provides two latency numbers; a home and a world.
  • The General section of the Character Information pullout lists information about your current maximum speed, with extra information about flying and swimming speeds on mouseover. This value seems to take heed of talents and buffs/debuffs, but not the "walk" toggle.
  • The Auction House offers to filter for items of Legendary quality.
  • The search filter for ammunition has been removed from the Auction House.

Quests

  • The Lovely Charm Bracelet quests for Thunder Bluff and Ironforge are fixed for the new city bosses.
  • Credit for killing Tank for Quest:Shark Tank no longer requires being in a group that tagged it.

Bug Fixes

  • Inv shield bwdraid d 02 [Elementium Stormshield] now properly displays on players that have it equipped.
  • The attach point of Inv mace 127 [Wild Hammer] has been fixed, so you grip it by the hilt, rather than the top of the shaft.
  • Capital city tabards now work properly in Wrath of the Lich King dungeons. They have the same reputation rewards for killing thrash mobs and bosses (15 and 300 respectively) as in Classic and Cataclysm dungeons.
