Burning Crusade Classic (BCC) Pre-patch finally released (19 May 21), and there are so many changes.
Some that I can remember are:
Quest XP increased by quite a bit (which was fortunate, because the completed quests from the previous episode had not yet been turned in).
Quest log total increased from 20 to 25 quests.
Talent trees have been reset and redesigned (took a while to realise this).
Meeting stones outside dungeons are now also summoning stones!
Some elite / group quests have been nerfed such that mobs that used to be elite / higher level are now non-elite / lower level (much easier to solo these quests now). In fact quests to collect items were also nerfed, as I could turn in the Maraudon quest "Twisted Evil" with 15 quest items, when it needed 25 for completion previously.
Fiery weapon enchant gives a strange and unrealistic reflection on the grass around.
New quests added by a Draenei ambassador in Hinterlands (and likely in other parts of Azeroth as well).
Turned in the completed Tanaris quests in this episode, and listed all the items that had been hoarded over the past week on the auction house now that it's open for business again. Headed over to Hinterlands to pick up some new BCC-added quests / complete some quest chains, including saving Sharpbeak the Gryphon!
