Dark Age of Camelot
Test Version 1.70aq Release Notes
July 15, 2004
===================================
New Strategy For Sieges
A new ability for characters with little or no range capability has been added to New Frontiers: the ability to bind to a Keep Lord/Tower Captain.
This ability lets players of the supported classes "/recall" their corpses to the Lord/Captain's location after a death for a safe resurrection by a friendly resurrection class. To take advantage of this feature, a supported class must first right-click on the Lord/Captain and "bind" to him. This temporary bind lasts for 30 minutes, and a warning will be given to the player when the timer runs out, or when they are out of range of the keep/tower.
Classes that can use the "/recall" are: Armsman, Bard, Berserker, Blademaster, Champion, Cleric, Druid, Friar, Healer, Hero, Mercenary, Minstrel, Paladin, Reaver, Savage, Shaman, Skald, Thane, Valewalker, Warden, and Warrior.
NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES
- Players are now worth Mordred style coin on regular servers in the case of RvR kills. This money will be automatically given to the killer or divided among the killer's group.
- Mesmerized or stunned players can no longer use hookpoints.
- Fixed an issue where monsters attacked by pets had no knowledge of the pet's controller's group. This should mean that monsters pulled with pets should follow the same rules they would follow if the pet's controller had pulled.
- The maximum range bonus given to archery attacks from elevation has been set to 500.
- The new animist aggro sharing between turrets and the main controlled turret now only works if the turret and main controlled are within 750 units of each other.
- The delve description for the master ability, Summon Wood, should now correctly print that it can be used to repair - not upgrade - keep doors.
- The character ability Flurry can once again only be used against enemy realm players, pets and guards.
- In light of Pendragon testing, we've decided to lessen the hitpoint reduction to Animist fire and forget turrets. The original reduction was 70%; the new value is 60%, which means that on Pendragon, turret hit points have been slightly increased. We'll test turrets at this level and make future adjustments as necessary.
