WoW Patch 3.1 PTR Build 9626 Patch Notes Changes
February 26, 2009 – 2:30 amPosted by: gmaxwell
A new Patch 3.1 PTR build is out tonight, build #9626. This build adds some changes and brings a few undocumented changes into their proper documented status.
And with this new build, we’re going to try something new here at WoW Insider. Each time the patch notes change, we’ll bring you a listing of significant changes to them.
What’s a significant change?
- Non-grammatical, there are grammar and spelling errors in the patch notes. While people might like to make fun of them, they’re not of any consequence.
- Non-contextual, sometimes the context of a note changes but doesn’t really make any difference. Something like a Shield Bash change moved from the Arms tree (where it was mistakenly placed) to the Protection tree (where it belongs).
- Non-formatting, often times the format of the patch notes will change. This includes things like using “:” or “-” in the appropriate places. These don’t concern us.
- Sometimes the new changes to the patch notes will just be undocumented things becoming documented. But that’s important to know too.
So after the break you’ll see our first go at this. A complete list of the changes from the initial Patch 3.1 PTR build to PTR build #9626. You can also view the fully updated notes, and view an archive of previous iterations of the patch notes.
Enjoy!
