Blizzard во второй раз обновила список изменений тестового патча 3.1.0 к World of Warcraft. В новой версии апдейта разработчики добавили большое количество классовых символов (glyphs), включили в клиент альтернативный набор текстур для сетов и изменили размер стека амуниции до 1000. Колчаны и патронные сумки больше не увеличивают скорость стрельбы Охотников, вместо этого 15-процентное ускорение теперь встроено в Auto Shot ("Автоматическую стрельбу").
Подробнее об этих и других нововведениях читайте ниже.
