Blizzard Entertainment has just issued a new patch for players of its immensely popular MMORPG, World of Warcraft. The developer has posted a few notes for WoW players, revealing that those with dual-specialization will have both specs reset.

“In order to address issues with the dual talent specialization system, all players will have their talents points refunded,” Blizzard says, referring to the General changes brought by WoW Patch 3.1.1. The company adds that, “Players who have purchased dual talent specializations will have both specializations reset. Glyphs will not be affected by this reset,” according to Blizzard.

As for the rest of the 3.1.1 changes, Blizzard reveals that several bugs have been addressed, including:

– Characters who are not of the same race or class are once again able to view each others' professions linked in chat. – Fixed an issue in which player and pet nameplates were appearing larger than normal. – Thrall’s throne has been adjusted back to its proper size and the base replaced. He will no longer need to defy gravity. – Fixed an issue with a display error on druid leather helms. – Corrected an issue for GeForce2/ATI 7 series card users that would result in critical errors for select actions in game. As a result, certain projected textures, like spell effects and targeting circles, will no longer render on some terrain objects.

Achievements – Corrected an issue preventing players from earning the achievement, “Storming Stormwind.” Players who were not properly awarded this achievement for completing the objective should retroactively be granted completion.

Warlock

Demonology – Fel Synergy (Rank 1): Corrected the tooltip to now display the proper healing amount.

Dungeons and Raids

Caverns of Time: Culling of Stratholme – Fixed an issue with the outside map not appearing correctly. – Fixed an issue where an incorrect skin was being applied to certain classes/races when the Human Illusion buff is cast upon them.

Ulduar

– The mob packs in the XT-002 Deconstructor encounter can now be engaged separately and are no longer linked.
