4.0.3 on the PTR has been patched and updated. Mostly Pre-Shattering files and bug fixes.
General
  • Much of the data being downloaded in patch 4.0.3 will pave the way for the shattering of Azeroth shortly before the release of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm on December 7.
  • The leader of Wintergrasp raids can no longer kick players from the raid (this change will also apply to Tol Barad in Cataclysm).
  • When in a Looking For Dungeon group, using an instance portal to that instance will now take players to the Looking For Dungeon entrance point instead of the normal destination of that portal. This will make it easier to return to the instance after dying in an LFD group.
  • Honorable Kills are no longer awarded for killing players below level 5.

User Interface
  • Added pets to the new raid unit frames when displayed in party.
  • The default UI Scale has been altered so it will be set at a 1:1 pixel/texel ratio. This will result in a smaller UI appearance for higher resolution monitors.
  • Players may now adjust the local "Lag Tolerance" time for better precision of spell timing. This is an advanced-users-only feature found in the Interface Options (Combat) panel.

Bug Fixes
  • Macros now handle spell variant transitions better. For example, Trap Launcher causes a different version of Frost Trap to be cast. Previously the macro system was not handling this transition properly.
  • Queuing in Looking For Dungeon for a different wing of the instance a player is already in now works properly. For example, a party can now queue for Scarlet Monastery - Library after completing Scarlet Monastery - Graveyard.
  • Killing High Interrogator Gerstahn before killing Emperor Dagran Thaurissan in a Blackrock Depths - Upper City random Looking For Dungeon run will now provide the proper reward. This also applies to Archmage Arugal and the Crown Chemical Company bosses in Shadowfang Keep during the Love is in the Air holiday event.
  • Repeatedly inspecting other players should now function correctly.
  • Area heal-over-time effects should no longer cause players to stand up.
  • Male blood elves have received a crash course in dancing and now know to stop dancing when they run.
  • Drake mounts have gotten bored with gliding and will flap their wings again when flying forward.
  • Druid Flight Form now properly appears in the Spellbook before Expert Riding is learned.
  • Sunfire's damage-over-time effect now deals damage at the same rate as Moonfire's damage- over-time effect.
  • GM Ticket messages should now displace buff icons instead of obscuring them.

Thank you! That got really annoying during the Halloween festivities that happened to coincide with a lot of bugs that needed reporting. Hm, do I not get on my mount or do I resubmit my ticket? tongue

I actually got a buffbar addOn because of it. I couldn't ride a mount or something because I was in a different form, and I couldn't cancel the form before the ticket thing was blocking the buffs.

You know if you just hit your mount button again it will take you off your mount... or hit your form button again and it takes you out of that form. Come on people, I expected bette...actually that's right on par.

Too bad you can't just 'hit a button' and get rid of a costume transformation that prevents you from mounting. Come on now I expected better, actually that's right on par for you.

I was able to fix that bug on my Shaman by recasting my weapon buff (such as windfury), it was still annoying though.

4.0.3 is the patch that they said would remove certain mount drops like the Tiger and Raptor and the Raptor pet drop, dont see any indication that it did in the patch notes so perhaps we get a reprieve?

Hope so that will give me a couple more shots at that tiger mount at least.

Yes to this. Yes to the world changing in a and some drops being no longer available.

My accounts not even active, so I'm just answering the question based on the information that I've seen on the front page of WoWVault. The bot's on his news game, the community members here need to pick up there's a bit.

They could have at least put the new login screen up. They put it up early for the last two.

So tired of this one.........
