Dark Age of Camelot
Live Version 1.66e Release Notes
November 6, 2003
===================================
NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES
- We have added the /bu command as an alternative to /bc to chat in battlegroups. Note that /bc still works, but /bu is a keyboard friendly alternative.
- Boats have been adjusted further to better predict which boat is in front to avoid locking collision conditions.
- Monsters should follow their leaders up and down better underwater with less spinning/warping.
- Animist summon turret spells will fail if the ground target is adjusted out of animist line of sight during the cast.
- Item summoning abilities and spells will properly update player encumberance after summon.
- Item summoning abilities and spells (such as Summon Wood) no longer fail if the item summoned will over-encumber the user.
- Storm spells won't affect a target with an engage radius if the caster is currently outside that radius.
- Summoned creatures (Such as Theurgist pets and Animist Turrets) won't cause loss of quest kill credit when their summoner leaves the region as they continue to attack a monster.
- We have reduced the length of necro pet tether if pet has encounter-related no-purge effects.
- Fixed a bug where some Master Level Abilities could be quick-cast. All Master Level Abilities should now be properly flagged as no quick-cast.
- Fixed a bug that caused the length of time that a player was not worth realm points after death to be longer then intended. This bug was introduced in version 1.66
