2.3.2 has some issues

The fine folks at MMO-Champion have assembled a list of all the known issues associated with Patch 2.3.2 dropping yesterday. In addition to good things like Transmutation mastery being fixed, and changes like AV being hotfixed to buff Balinda and Vandar, there are a host of bugs and minor issues from the Hammerfall wind ride master hiding under her usual spot to Hunter's getting their new Volley graphic revered to its older form due to graphics issues.The complete list at MMO-Champion is very, very long. Luckily for me and my current leveling project, Draenei Warriors (and indeed all warriors) got off light with a couple of minor bugs. I doubt my level 62 warrior (or any of my 70's) is going to be fighting Landslide again anytime soon. But Priests seem to have several bugs, every class got a few, and the environment, quests and npc sections of the list are quite beefy.
Also, rogues seem upset about the changes, if you follow the forums. While that's probably not a bug I though I should mention it anyway as an issue with the patch.
How's Patch 2.3.2 been treating you? Good, bad, or had you even noticed any differences?

I hope the volley graphic change was intened, as the "improved" one was rather fruit

Really? You didn't like the lawn sprinkler? Just wait until the summer and you'll wish you had it back.

I know the latency on Burning Blade last night was impossible. I had no issues until 7pm-ish, when it suddenly spiked up to 5000k+.

It disturbs me that Call of Thunder giving 6% crit is still listed as a bug. That's how it's supposed to be. That's how it always has been.
I feel like they're going to wind up nerfing it due to ignorance.

If Shadowform for priests is bound to a key, sometimes it doesn't always drop Shadowform when hitting the key again, forcing you to right-click the buff to remove it.

I have had several problems.
First, load time dramatically increased. (May be due to mods).
Particle effects and spell effects not consistently displayed.
Lag spikes (I rarely get lag).
Worst of all,
My BankItems mod (my new fave mod) no longer reports how many of each item I have and on what characters. Its a travesty for trying to sell things.

Currently, when I mouse over an NPC to hand in a completed quest, the hand icon (which should highlight into a question mark) completely vanishes. This didn't occur before the patch.

I have exactly the same problem. This seems to be a fairly major glitch too, so hopefully Blizz will get on it fast.

My issue with 2.3.2 has been that the boat NPCs haven't returned. Its in the patch notes that they were coming back but I did not see them at all in my boating yesterday.

We weren't able to reset Solarian in TK last night by leaving her room. Had to wipe instead.

Here's another vote that the bugged old version of hunter's volley graphic stay. The new one is annoying as all get out. I understand that having a volley that shoots arrows when one shoots a gun is not ideal. But it sure was a better graphic than the new thing. Alysandir is right, it looks like a lawn sprinkler but with fireworks thrown in.

Yet another poorly written post from our friends at WoW Insider.

Spencer,
There is something that everyone has to bring to this topic and what you have to bring is silence.
Matt Jan 9th 2008 3:37PM
gtfo already lord have mercy on your soul for being such a troll...

The bugs that were reported on mmo-champion were relatively minor, imo. Certainly nothing to stop playing the game.
I'm glad double AR on rogues got nerfed, maybe we can do something now in the first 30 seconds of combat with 1500 DPS on us, or not.
The shaman buff was nice as well. 50 MP5 is going to make a big difference, as well as water shield not having to be refreshed every minute, which was extremely annoying.

@ Matt and Chuddy.
I am under the impression that WoW Insider's "bloggers" are paid for their work. If this impression is incorrect, then I withdraw my statement. However, I like to read articles about my passions, including World of Warcraft, but I also like to read articles that follow basic grammar usage and sentence structure. Run-on and disjointed sentences like "In addition to good things like Transmutation mastery being fixed, and changes like AV being hotfixed to buff Balinda and Vandar, there are a host of bugs and minor issues from the Hammerfall wind ride master hiding under her usual spot to Hunter's getting their new Volley graphic revered to its older form due to graphics issues." are literally painful for me to read, and I don't think the good people at Findyourhighschoolbuddies.com who advertise at your site want their potentially paying customers to associate their product with mental anguish. If Mike Schramm can get it right, so can you.

Haha. A+ response. I love it when trolls strike back it amuses me to no end.

Do yourself a favor. Never read anything written by Don DeLillo, Umberto Eco, James Joyce, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, or Tim Powers. Hell, just don't read books. You'll just hurt yourself.

Then why read them! If you have a problem with that? I'd hate to see what you are like in-game. Personally in-game I speak with no punctuation apart from the odd comma and my spelling is terrible also I occasionally miss buttons or hit 'u' instead of 'i'. I think most people I have spoken to in-game are like this and if you have a problem if that hurting your eyes I suggest you quit WoW, leave WoW Insider and go sit in a corner of a library all day reading books to pleasure with there amazing sentencing and structure.
