Dark Age of Camelot

Test Version 1.70j Release Notes

April 30, 2004


===================================



NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES


- The /range command now only works on object targets.



NEW FRONTIERS NOTES


- The Passage of Conflict dungeon is now open for exploration. This dungeon replaces the original three dungeons that led to Summoner's Hall in the old frontiers zones. Entrances to the Passage of Conflict may be found in Jamtland Mountains, Pennine Mountains, and Breifine. Please note that players may not yet reach Summoner's Hall.

- All ranged guards should now deal less damage.

- The PvP immunity timer in Frontiers regions has been changed to 5 seconds from 120.

- RvR death messages will now include region names when applicable (for example: Joe was just killed by Harry in Bratag Woods).

- Players will now receive "You have entered (zone name) messages" when you load into a new region.

- Combatants purchased off hookpoints now have their cost increased linearly from 10 to 75 based off of the upgrade level of the keep.

- Hookpoints that have become inactive, either through the object or monster being destroyed or their 30 minute timer expiring, will continue to block further purchases for a period of five minutes.

- Players only need a minimum of 3 towers to teleport into a keep. Taking only the towers to a keep will no longer allow players to cut off the supply line and teleportation into other keeps.


Realm Ability System

- With this version, all characters on Pendragon (including players not currently in the New Frontiers beta) are stripped and refunded of all realm abilities upon login. Please visit your class trainer to train in the new system.

- The first pass of the new Realm Ability system for New Frontiers is now in place for all Pendragon players to begin testing. For more information on the replacement of the Realm Ability system, please visit http://www.camelotherald.com/newfrontiers/realmabilities/index.php Please note that none of the class unique abilities have been implemented at this time.

- All realm abilities now have delve information. Players can view the details of the new realm abilities by clicking the "Info" button on the class trainer when highlighting an ability before training it, or by delving the ability on the character sheet once it has been purchased.


Siege Changes

- Siege operators will receive a "You missed the (target)" when they were using a piece of siege equipment with a specific target set and it misses.

- The radius affected by the cauldron of boiling oil has been reduced.

- The prices on the hookpoint siege engines have been increased.
