===================================
Dark Age of Camelot
Test Version 1.70r Release Notes
May 24, 2004
===================================
NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES
- Font of Power will no longer affect targets which have been engaged in PvE combat within the last 10 seconds. The Font was having an unbalancing effect on PvE combat. After much discussion and debate, we decided to leave the Font itself alone and make it work without restriction in RVR, and add a small restriction for PVE (rather than reduce its effectiveness or otherwise reduce its usefulness in RvR with an across-the-board change).
- Necromancer pets and Animist bombers now get full benefit from their owners' spell piercing items and Traldor's Oracle Archmagery buffs.
- It is no longer possible to use pets to attack targets with an engage radius when the caster is outside of the engage radius. This includes dragons, keep lords, and tower captains.
- Pets will once again follow their masters underwater when possible.
- Players on personal boats will no longer be hit by radius effects from spells.
- Players will no longer be able to board a boat while in combat.
- Personal Boats will now be automatically removed from the water if there are no passengers on the boat after a 30 minute timer has expired. Once a player boards the boat, the timer is turned off and reset until the boat is emptied again.
NEW FRONTIERS
- (Pendragon Only) Pets will now be able to attack doors.
- The Jamtland Mountains to Caer Berkstead fast attack boat should now continue on the correct course.
Realm Ability Changes and Fixes
- The Prevent Flight realm ability will be granted to all Berserkers, Blademasters, and Mercenaries when they reach level 24. The delve information for Prevent Flight has also been added.
- A set of the unique realm abilities is now available. The unique ability (based on class) is received when a character reaches realm rank 5. The following unique realm abilities are now ready for testing on Pendragon:
Armsman - Snapshot
Paladin - Selfless Devotion
Mercenary - Blinding Dust
Reaver - Soul Siphon
Cleric - Retribution of the Faithful
Friar - Whirling Staff
Infiltrator - Assassinate
Minstrel - Calming Notes
Scout - Shield Trip
Cabalist - Resolute Minion
Sorceror - Shield of Immunity
Theurgist - Minion Rescue
Wizard - Wall of Flame
Necromancer - Call of Darkness
Blademaster - Blade Barrier
Eldritch - Arms Length
Enchanter - Searing Pet
Warden - Fury of Nature
- (Pendragon Only) Using Volley now drops you from stealth.
Siege Changes
- Ranged, Targetted (Non-ground target) siege equipment will now attempt to "lead" it's target based on the target's current heading, velocity, and the ammo's travel speed. This should make it possible to hit moving targets where before it mostly was not. Targets that change heading or velocity while the shot is in flight will stand the best chance at dodging these shots.
- Players will no longer be able to /use diminutive siege apparatuses to create siege engines. Instead, the diminutive siege apparatuses are now used in special "deploy siege engine" recipes located under Siegecraft.
TRADESKILL UPDATES
- Fletching & Weaponcraft - In response to player feedback, the constitution stat on Legendary Weapons has been changed to either strength or dexterity, depending on the type of weapon. As a result, the Spellcrafting gems required in the recipes have also changed to reflect the stat used on the final product. This change is not retroactive, so players who wish to utilize an updated version of a Legendary Weapon must seek out a Weaponcrafter or Fletcher to create a new product.
CAMELOT CLASSIC WORLD NOTES
Quests - Albion
- Barnett's Shield - The maximum level of this quest has been raised to level 25 so that players working on Bedelia's Grief can continue working on their quest.
TRIALS OF ATLANTIS WORLD NOTES
Temple of Twilight
- A Cure for Kepa - Players that have A Cure for Kepa in their pending quest list but had no journal entry should now have one. These players should now be able to kill Kepa and finish the quest.
