Dark Age of Camelot
Version 1.66j Test Release Notes
October 23, 2003
===================================
NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES
- Players from all three realms can now purchase new portal medallions at their primary portal location (Druim Ligen, Castle Sauvage, or Svasud Faste). Players who have the Shrouded Isles expansion can port there with the Medallion of Isles Passage. Players who have the Trials of Atlantis expansion can port there with the Medallion of Heroes Passage.
- In an effort to increase framerates during large scale raids like relic keep raids, we have converted many of the guards in the frontier to a new model which should increase framerate performance, at the cost of a little less variety in the guards looks.
- Delving items in the trade window will now correctly show left hand usable and two handed flags on weapons.
- Shields now display level on the mini-info window.
- Water in Raumarik and Vanera Swamp will no longer act like lava. (Pendragon only fix)
BATTLEGROUPS
We have added a new feature to help large player groups coordinate and share credit for certain encounters. Battlegroups (similar in function to chatgroups) allow players to band together in large numbers (up to 200). Basically battlegroups behave just like chatgroups, with the added ability for the developers to set certain encounters to give credit to all the members of a battlegroup (instead of a single player or the group that gets the kill). Right now this is used throughout ToA for the Trial Encounters, so more than one group of players can get credit for participating in the encounter, whether or not they or their immediate group got the killing blow. Experience will still be given out based on your immediate group. We will be adding additional tools in a version in the near future that will allow battlegroups to allocate loot amongst the members of the group.
- bg = shorthand for battlegroup in all commands.
- bc = shorthand for battlegroup chat in all commands.
- Battle group sends and battle group leader sends each have their own chat channels now which are customizable on the client.
