2.4.1 Updated patch notes
One of the changes made in 2.4.1 has been pulled out at the last moment and the patch notes posted yesterday were outdated, but I can't find the blue post anymore mentionning this change, I'd be happy if someone posted it in comments (it wasn't really important anyway). I also included the undocumented item changes and a few more changes, mostly from Elitistjerks.

The list of undocumented changes might be updated during the day.

Hunter

• Tranquilizing Shot no longer incorrectly restricts use of other Hunter abilities in specific situations.

User Interface
Combat Log

• Only the last 300 combat log entries are now stored.
• Filter settings are now properly saved.
• Changing zones will no longer reload the entire log

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a sound engine error that was causing lock-ups on exit.
• Fixed a shader error that was causing kernel panics on Mac PowerPCs.
• Fixed a bug on Mac that was preventing the intro Cinematics from playing.

Undocumented world changes

• All NPCs in normal (and presumably heroic) Magister's Terrace give reputation at their previous levels, giving about 2k per normal run.
• The bombing run daily quest on Quel'danas has been changed : Eredar Sorcerers now die in one hit instead of two, Pit Overlords die in two hits instead of three.

Undocumented items changes

• The following items have been changed to Main hand instead of one-hand : [item=25920], [item=32537], [item=34667], [item=34670], [item=34671], [item=34790]
• [item=24128] doesn't die anymore at the end of the timer and just fades away.

Ordinn also gave an ETA for the end of registrations.

Sign-ups will continue until the third phase of the tournament.




Quel'danas offensive progression - Impact of daily quests
How many daily quests do you need to complete a % of the offensive ? A lot according to Drysc. He also talked once again about the unlocking of the Anvil, this is the last phase needed to unlock the new heroic badge rewards.
Quote from: Drysc (Source)
We're not releasing specific information about unlock times, turn-ins, etc. but to give a vague estimate... hundreds and hundreds per %.

The armory takes about five times as many turn-ins to capture compared to the sanctum. Remember, only the NPC's that show your percentage of completion give quests that count towards unlocking... whatever it is they say they're trying to capture/build.

Badge Vendor comes with the anvil, which isn't available to build until after the armory is captured. Just like the portal is an "addition" to the sanctum, the anvil is added to the armory once it's been captured through a separate daily quest.




2008 Arena Tournament registering and server lags
First, the server lag on Arena Tournament realms is mostly fixed and you should be able to play with a decent ping now.
Quote from: Ordinn (Source)
Please try to go in to the realms now. The lag entering matches should be fixed. The vendor and general lag should be better, but if people continue to spam-click the items in the vendors there will still be bad lag while making purchases.




2.4.1 and bug with models
A few people have been experiencing bugs with their items (most of the time a "checkerboard model" showing instead of the item) after installing a patch, most of the time it's because you used a model editor or something like that and you will probably have to reinstall the game to fix the problem.
Quote from: Datth (Source)
The checkerboard box models will appear if the data for that object is missing. All known objects should be linked. If you end up getting any types of Error 131s and/or more of those objects, you may have to reinstall the game. The original issue is usually seen if someone used a model editor. Possible outcomes are checkerboard objects and error 131s in certain zones after applying patch 2.4.0
