Dark Age of Camelot

Test Version 1.70p Release Notes

May 20, 2004


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



NEW FRONTIERS


- /gc info now displays the following in regards to keeps - Outpost controlled and its current level, the update timer and the cost for the hourly update, the total time to upgrade the keep/tower from 1 to 10, and, if the keep/tower is currently upgrading/downgrading, it shows the level it is moving to and how long until it gets there.

- You will now be able to port to any coastal keep if you own all of your own keeps, the coastal keep you are porting to, and at least three of the coastal keep's towers.

- The Frontiers oceans and rivers have been populated with underwater monsters.

- Instances of invalid class/race combinations for keep guards all over the Frontiers should be eliminated.

Tower and Keep Claiming, Upgrading, and Maintenance

- Keeps now cost 500 guild bounty points to claim. There is no up front cost to set the upgrade level.

- Keeps have an hourly guild bounty point fee based off of the current level of the keep. The fees per level are as follows: 50, 50, 50, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, and 1000.

- Keeps take varying times to upgrade based off of level. The upgrade times per level are as follows: 12 minutes, 12 minutes, 12 minutes, 12 minutes, 24 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, and 16 hours.

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 RvR-only (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

- (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.

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


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


Dark Age of Camelot

Test Version 1.70t Release Notes

May 26, 2004


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



NEW FRONTIERS


- (Pendragon Only) RvR Death Sickness can no longer be right-click removed.

- It is no longer possible to finish repairing a target which comes under attack during the repair process.


RvR Death Penalty System - Take Two

As part of the New Frontiers expansion and based on player feedback, we have decided to change the way our death penalty works in RVR combat. The existing system (as it plays out on Pendragon with our new terrain) often results in gameplay with very little strategy, where people mindlessly fling themselves at a target over and over. Enemies are rarely worth realm points after the first few minutes, and all around it’s not very interesting or fun. The new system allows the player to make strategic decisions, gives more value to player resurrection, and provides an incentive to strategize attacks rather than relying on “the zerg rush.” We will obviously be watching the feedback closely, and we will make adjustments as necessary. There is plenty of discussion and there are varied opinions on this subject here at Mythic, and we look forward to your testing and feedback helping us to make the final decisions.

- There is a 20 second timer before a player can release (via the command /release) from an RvR death.

- If a player releases from an RvR death, a RvR Death Sickness is applied to the character. This Death Sickness lasts for three minutes and is incurable (with one exception, Restore the Soul). The player will get a 30% decrease in effective power (meaning that everything is now affected - healing, spell damage, spell duration, melee damage, etc) and a 20% movement rate reduction for each Death Sickness icon of this type.

- Please note that this is a completely separate death sickness from the current PvE death sickness, which will remain in-game for PvE deaths. And, as always, the PvE death sickness will be curable at a Healer.

- If a player is resurrected from an RvR death, a different RvR Death Sickness is applied to the character (unless Perfect Recovery was used, in which case there is no Death Sickness). The 30% decrease in effective power still applies, but there is no movement penalty of any kind. This Death Sickness lasts up to three minutes and is incurable (with one exception, Restore the Soul).

- The duration of this Sickness can be reduced by the type of resurrection spell used. Currently:

Base Line Resurrection/Egg of Youth - 2 minutes, 48 seconds
Tier 1 Spec Resurrection - 2 minutes, 31 seconds
Tier 2 Spec Resurrection - 2 minutes, 13 seconds
Tier 3 Spec Resurrection - 1 minute, 28 seconds
Perfect Recovery - 0 seconds (again, using Perfect Recovery means there is no RvR Death Sickness)

- Both resurrection Death Sickness and /release Death Sickness can be completely cured by the Master Level 8 Perfector ability, Restore the Soul.

- Multiple Death Sicknesses can stack with each other, for cumulative effects. In other words, if the player dies and releases a second time while still bearing the icon for Released Death Sickness, he will have two icons, his movement will be decreased by 40%, and suffer a 60% decrease in effective power - at least until the first icon drops. If a player dies and releases, and then dies and is resurrected while the first icon is still active, he will have a 60% decrease in effective power, but only a 20% movement penalty.

- The Veil Recovery realm ability will shorten all timers by 20% for each level of the Veil Recovery ability that you have.


Realm Points and Player Deaths

- While you are dead, you will now earn 25% of the realm points you would have earned if you were still alive.

- RELEASED AFTER DEATH - For three minutes after any death (RvR or PvE death), if the player releases, the player will receive a 50% reduction to realm points gained for enemy realm kills. In other words, if you die and release, you will be limited by 50% in your ability to earn realm points for three minutes.

- A released player will not be worth any realm points for one minute after death, and worth 25% of his total points for four more minutes after that. After five minutes, the player will be worth the full total. (As a point of comparison, on live servers, a player is worth no points at all for ten minutes after death.)

- RESURRECTED AFTER DEATH - There will be no penalty to the player's ability to earn realm points.

- Same as a released player, a resurrected player will not be worth any realm points for one minute after death, and worth 25% of his total points for four more minutes after that. After five minutes, the player will be worth the full total. (As a point of comparison, on live servers, a player is worth no points at all for ten minutes after death.) Please note that distance restrictions on realm points still apply.


Battlegrounds

- Experience rewards have been added which will be granted upon the successful keep capture in the battlegrounds from levels 1-44. Upon successfully killing the Keep Lord/Jarl/Chieftain, every eligible player inside the keep region will be awarded approximately 25% of their level in experience. This experience reward can be earned once per level for every level, up to level 44.


Realm Ability Changes and Fixes

- The following unique Realm Abilities are now ready for testing on Pendragon.

Healer - Sputin's Legacy
Shadowblade - Shadow Strike
Spiritmaster - Spirit Martyr

- The Sputin's Legacy unique Realm Ability for Healers has been redesigned. It is now an ability that can be used every 15 minutes, that gives the Healer a 30 second "window". During that window, if they die, they have an additional command they can use in addition to /release, '/resurrect'. Typing /resurrect will self-resurrect the healer with 10% power and health. Note that unlike the original Realm Ability design, this can be used by the Healer any time between death and the healer's auto-releasing to their bind point. The Healer can also release or be resurrected by another player if they choose.


Siege Updates

- (Pendragon Only) The recipes to deploy diminutive siege engines should now work properly.

- Players will now be able to hit targets which are above water with siege equipment.


Monsters

- Evern, his wraith drakes, and his wraith fairies have returned to Breifine.


Passage of Conflict

- A new demoness has appeared in the Passage of Conflict, forcing all others to pay her homage.



CAMELOT CLASSIC WORLD NOTES


Capital Cities

- The NPCs at each entrance of the capital cities will now also provide a 30 minute duration strength buff to aid players inside the city. The strength buff is automatically removed if the player leaves the capital city before the buff expires. Please note that these NPCs do not exist on Mordred or Gaheris.

Camelot - Minstrel Lucaris and Minstrel Olias
Jordheim - Skald Seisill and Skald Rumdall
Tir na Nog - Bard Eltonos and Bard Medrend


Quests - General

- (Pendragon Only) Completed quests will no longer clear from the player's journal upon attaining the next level.

- (Bug Fix) If you are in the Albion, Hibernian, or Midgard Frontier zones, the realmwar map will open to your current Frontier by default. Anywhere else in the world, it will open to show your home realm by default.

- It is no longer possible to salvage enemy siege equipment or siege equipment being controlled by someone else.

- (Bug Fix) The Cleric, Healer, and Druid versions of the healer hookpoint guards will now correctly heal friendly players with the proper spell.

- Guards positioned on keep walls should now adjust their position when the keep is upgraded, maintaining their position on the top of walls.

- A single guard has been added to each dock in the Frontiers. This new guard can see through stealth and will attack any enemy who gets too close.


Player Controlled Boats

- New player controlled boats can now be purchased from the dock merchants at the various docks in the new Frontiers. The boat merchants will attempt to place boat owners on the boats they purchase as soon as the boat is placed in the water. Please note that Trials of Atlantis boats cannot be used in New Frontiers.

Scout Boat - Requires at least one person to launch at minimum speed (395 units) and has a total capacity of 8. The maximum speed is 500 units.
Galleon - Requires at least two people to launch at minimum speed (290 units) and has a total capacity of 16. The maximum speed is 500 units. The galleon has two siege hookpoints.
Warship - Requires at least four people to launch at minimum speed (80 units) and has a total capacity of 32. The maximum speed is 500 units. The warship has four siege hookpoints.

- For each person under the total capacity that is not on the boat, movement speed is decreased approximately 3%. If a boat has less than the minimum requirement, the boat cannot be moved.

- The player controlled boats have hitpoints and can be damaged and sunk.

- Boats can only be built in your home frontier and cannot be picked up once they are placed in the water. Once a boat is placed in the water, the boat object in your inventory is removed.

- The controller of the boat can set the boat to be public or private using the '/vset' command.

- Players hook onto attach points on boats after boarding.

- Players cannot move, cast, attack, or perform any other actions while sitting on a boat. Players can only be attacked using targeted range attacks. AE spells, mezzes, roots, and melee attacks will not affect players on boats.

- Players can move to an attach point near a siege hookpoint on boats. Siege equipment can be built on these hookpoints while the boat is stopped. Siege equipment on these hookpoints can be fired while the boat is moving or stopped.

- To prevent players from jumping off of boats by mistake, a new '/disembark' command has been added. You will need to use this command to get off any boat in New Frontiers. Trials of Atlantis boats will remain unchanged.


RvR Death Penalty System

- There is now a maximum of two of each of the two types of RvR death sicknesses (released and resurrected sickness) which can be on a player at any one time.


Realm Ability Changes and Fixes

- The True Sight realm ability has been removed. Characters with this realm ability will have the ability stripped and the realm skill points refunded upon login.

- Mastery of Stealth now modifies stealth detection as well as stealth movement and is now available to all archer and assassin classes. The following shows the progression for each level of the realm ability (the bonuses are cumulative):

Mastery of Stealth I - Cost 1 - +5 Stealth Move Speed and +75 Stealth Detection
Mastery of Stealth II - Cost 3 - +5 Stealth Move Speed and +100 Stealth Detection (10%/175 unit total for 4 points)
Mastery of Stealth III - Cost 6 - +5 Stealth Move Speed and +125 Stealth Detection (15%/300 unit total for 10 points)
Mastery of Stealth IV - Cost 10 - +5 Stealth Move Speed and +150 Stealth Detection (20%/450 unit total for 20 points)
Mastery of Stealth V - Cost 14 - +5 Stealth Move Speed and +175 Stealth Detection (25%/625 unit total for 34 points)

- Camouflage counters the Mastery of Stealth bonus, allowing an archer to only be seen at the normal range (this is the same way this works on live with See Hidden). Shadowblades, Nightshades, and Infiltrators do not gain any benefit from Mastery of Stealth when detecting or being detected by other Nightshades, Infiltrators, and Shadowblades.

- The Warrior unique realm ability, Testudo, now announces to the surrounding area that the player has activated it. Testudo now places an ability icon on the user's effects bar when activated. Please note that this icon is not the same as the realm ability's hotbar icon.

- There is now a 10 second delay between typing /resurrect and self-resurrecting when using the Sputin's Legacy unique realm ability. The message reported when typing /resurrect without Sputin's Legacy active is clearer.

- Using the Savage unique realm ability, Blissful Ignorance, now triggers all available Savagery buffs the player has available automatically.

- Damage over time spells no longer print damage messages, add to monster aggro, or attempt to perform a lifetap if the damage dealt has been removed through the Remedy unique realm ability.

- Heals cast as a result of realm abilities (First Aid, etc) are no longer halved in effectiveness if the target is diseased.

Dark Age of Camelot

Test Version 1.70w Release Notes

June 2, 2004


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



TEST SERVER CHANGES

- Pendragon players who pay rent using the /bountyrent command will now receive a large discount. One bounty point is now worth 20 gold pieces and will pay for one full week's rent for a cottage. Note that the /bountyrent command must be used to take advantage of this discount. Bounty rent tokens will *not* get a discount.

- We have set the /level command to 19 to facilitate testing in Killaloe, the level 15-19 Battleground.



NEW FRONTIERS


- Fixed a bug that made it possible for players to attack someone on the other side of a wall/gate.


Temporary Keep and Tower Cost Reductions

- Underpopulated realms will receive a reduction of cost bonus for all hookpoint purchases, maintenance costs, and claiming costs of keeps in New Frontiers. Currently, Pendragon players of all three realms will now receive a 75% reduction to these settings for testing purposes. The costs currently on Pendragon are as follows:

Hookpoint Purchases - 10 gold/3 bounty points/3 guild bounty points
Keep Claiming Costs - 125 guild bounty points
Tower Claiming Costs - 13 guild bounty points
Keep Maintenance Costs per hour (based on current level) - 13, 13, 13, 13, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 250 guild bounty points
Tower Maintenance Costs per hour (based on current level) - 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 13, 25 guild bounty points

- Once version 1.70 has gone to live servers, underpopulated realms will receive a 50% reduction of cost bonus. Right now, we are considering these numbers as possible settings for underpopulated realms. These numbers should in no way be considered final at this time.

Hookpoint Purchases - 10 gold/5 bounty points/5 guild bounty points
Keep Claiming Costs - 250 guild bounty points
Tower Claiming Costs - 25 guild bounty points
Keep Maintenance Costs (based on current level) - 25, 25, 25, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 500 guild bounty points
Tower Maintenance Costs per hour (based on current level) - 3, 3, 3, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50 guild bounty points

- For more information on this system, please go to http://www.camelotherald.com/more/1507.shtml


Realm Ability Changes and Fixes

- Perfect Recovery will now properly remove up to all five types of death sickness (as players can have two versions of each of the new RvR death sicknesses and the PvE Resurrection Illness on the character at once).

- Necromancers will no longer be able to purchase the Whirling Dervish realm ability. Necromancers with this ability will have the ability removed in a future patch. This realm ability was removed for the Necromancer class because it did not work with the Necromancer's pet.


Siege Changes and Fixes

- Eliminated several cases where players were receiving false "You release your siege equipment" type messages.

- The field trebuchet and field ballista can now be moved.


Controllable Boat Changes and Fixes

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


Dark Age of Camelot

Test Version 1.70x Release Notes

June 4, 2004


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



TEST SERVER CHANGES


- We have set the /level command to 24 to facilitate testing in Thidranki, the level 20-24 Battleground.



NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES


- Graphical effects from radius spells will no longer play an effect for every target within the spell's radius. Players will only see one graphic play over the caster's target for the spell. This is a fix for a bug that was re-introduced in version 1.69 that played unintended spell effects, causing severe client problems for some of our users.


New Grouping Level Range Changes

With 1.70, we are relaxing the rules that govern the level ranges that can effectively group together. The intent of this new system is to allow lower-level players to group with substantially higher-level group leaders, and enable them to make some contribution to combat and spellcasting.

The system works as follows:

- Whenever a low-level character (5th level or higher) joins a group led by a higher level character, they are temporarily adjusted so that they can hit and land spells on monsters of the range that are normally fought by the group leader. They will be able to hit, and also to do damage to these monsters.

- This adjustment kicks in when a player approximately 90% of the level of the group leader or less joins a group. This means that if anyone less than 17th level joins a group led by a 20th level group leader, their to-hit and damage are boosted up so that they can hit and damage monsters that are commonly fought by a 20th level group. Also, while grouped, they will take less damage per hit from high level monsters.

- This system does not affect items such as weapons or armor - only to-hit and damage, and to some extent, damage taken is affected.

- Lower level group members must be within 3000 units of the group leader in order to receive the bonus.

- Experience gained by the lower level character is the same as it currently is on the live servers when lower level characters are being powerleveled by higher level friends.

- There are diminishing returns on the effectiveness of wide level ranges in this system. Any character that is approximately half the group leader's level or lower will not see as much bonus from this system as characters closer to the target range; although they will still get some benefit.



NEW FRONTIERS


- As a part of the New Frontiers expansion, the line of sight code is being revised to improve the keep battle experience. On Pendragon, new line of sight code is now in place for all keeps in the frontiers. Players will not be able to use area effect spells to damage others through keep walls/gates. Keep guards will also obey line of sight rules when attacking enemy players. Please note that as this system is still in development, there are still some cases where players are able to achieve line of sight through keep walls/gates. We are aware of these cases and we will be addressing them in the next patch. When reporting line of sight bugs, please make sure you include the zone name, keep name and level, and the complete location you get when typing /loc.

- Volley is no longer stripped from a player if they do a single skill respec in a skill other than archery.

- Outpost patrol guards will no longer spawn inside the wall of the outpost. They have also had their patrol path adjusted slightly.


PvP Server Notes

- Players under the PvP ruleset (Mordred) will not have any of the new types of RvR death sicknesses applied to them.


Realm Ability Changes and Fixes

- Epiphany should now grant 25% power to the caster and the caster's group. This fixes a bug that caused this ability to grant only 15% power.

- Animist bombers and necromancer pets now gain the benefit of their owner's Wild Power realm ability.

- Shadowblades can now execute subsequent styles in their Critical Strike chain after performing a Perforate Artery, Backstab II, or Backstab I through Shadowstrike. Additionally, followup styles in a style chain executed from Shadowstrike should no longer give the "You fail to execute Creeping Death perfectly" error message.

- If a player unstealths, they cancel any pending Assassinations or Shadowstrikes.

- The stealth effect from Vanish is now removed when you die.

- Allure of Death now correctly provides the resistance to nearsight when in skeletal form.

- The Runemaster unique realm ability, Rune of Utter Agility, now grants over 50% evade and works as an enhanced evade. Note that while the evade delves as a 90% evade, the chance will be lower if attacked by significantly higher level enemies.

- Veil Recovery now modifies sickness duration when a player releases.

- The Blademaster's Blade Barrier unique realm ability now grants over 50% chance to parry. Note that while the ability delves as a 90% chance to parry, the chance will be lower if attacked by significantly higher level enemies.

- When a player is healed by a Divine Intervention healing battery, it now properly notes the owner of the healing battery in the heal message.


Mastery of Stealth Changes

- Mastery of Stealth now grants a passive increase to the character's stealth detection radius, as listed in the ability's delve, in addition to the previously described movement bonus while stealthed.

Mastery of Stealth 1 - 75 unit increase
Mastery of Stealth 2 - 175 unit increase
Mastery of Stealth 3 - 300 unit increase
Mastery of Stealth 4 - 450 unit increase
Mastery of Stealth 5 - 625 unit increase

- The figures listed above are total, not cumulative.

- The Mastery of Stealth bonus can be canceled if the stealthed target is using Camoflauge or if both the stealthed target and the user have the Detect Hidden skill.

- Note that both the target and the searcher can have Mastery of Stealth. These will *not* cancel each other out; in this instance both players will detect each other from a greater distance away (if one has Detect Hidden, they will detect the other first due to Detect Hidden's bonus).

- Players with Vanish active are immune from detection, no matter what the searcher's Mastery of Stealth skill is.


Siege Changes

- It is now possible to move a ram similar to how a boat is moved - simply setting a new ground target will direct the ram to move to the targetted location.

- Siege equipment should no longer track and fire on stealthed targets.

- The radius on stone shot ammo has been increased to 450.

- The ammunition types created through the Convoker Summon Warcrystal ability have been updated. Players will now be able to summon ammo equivalent to stone shot, greek fire, and ice ball.


Item Notes

- All monsters except the animals in the Passage of Conflict and the Summoner's Hall dungeons now have a chance to drop realm respec stones.

- Players are no longer required to have 1 skill point in Siegecraft to control, aim, and fire siege equipment.

- Respec'ing your realm abilities no longer prints the last update message twice if your resistances, power, or hit points update.

Realm Ability Changes and Fixes

- Minstrels no longer have access to Mastery of Stealth. This change was made with version 1.70x, but was not documented.

- Purge will only set its re-use timer if it actually removes a negative effect.

- The Nightshade's unique realm ability, Remedy, has been reworked. It can now be used from stealth (although it cannot be activated while mesmerised or stunned). It now also has delve information. The health subtracted from the nightshade now is levied when the ability expires. Since Remedy is now ability-based instead of spell based, it now uses an ability toggle icon in the effects bar which cannot be delved and is different from the realm ability's hotbar icon.

- Characters now drop out of combat mode when they try to take a swing at someone who has debuffed them with Selective Blindness. Ranged combat and spell combat targeting with Selective Blindness has not been changed, just melee.

- Characters that have the Vanish effect can no longer be targeted at all by snare, mesmerise, and stun spells (area of effect or otherwise). Previously area of effect versions of these spells would target Vanished players.

- The Necromancer version of Negative Maelstrom no longer is petcasted. It is now cast by the shade and now follows the same rules as master level ability storms and necromancers (i.e. the shade must be close to their pet to trigger the realm ability).

- Necromancers who try to cast storms while too far from their pet no longer trigger re-cast timers.

- Thornweed Field now delves as casting a 50% snare at all realm ability levels and variable damage, depending on the realm ability level.

- Petcasted realm abilities should no longer have missing information in spell delves.

- The Mastery of Concentration realm ability now levies the specified effectiveness penalty on spells when used (previously it was ignoring purchased levels and setting spell effectiveness to 100%).

- Fixed delve information for Assassinate and Vanish realm abilities.

- Players can now use the Assassination realm ability on Necromancer pets.

- Using the Testudo unique realm ability now slows you to 75% of your normal movement speed. Using a style will cancel the Testudo realm ability.

- Dreamweaver now properly breaks whenever the bard enters combat mode.


Siege Changes

- Messages have been added to let the ram helpers know fire timing and damages.

- A message has been added to let the ram controller know to add more helpers when under-helped.

Players wishing to respec their realm abilities can visit the merchants set up specifically for this purpose and purchase special respec stones - Sophist's Realmstone. **These special stones will only be available for one week on the live servers, then they will disappear.** During the time these new stones are available, the Respec NPCs will temporarily not accept the old realm stones. Once the merchants are gone, the Respec NPCs will once again accept the old stones. These are the merchants that will be selling the new, temporary respec stones:

Albion - Brandonne Chauncy in Camelot
Midgard - Frumdall Helmer in Jordheim
Hibernia - Gwinna Galbrath in Tir na Nog

- Please note that in order to use these stones, you must turn them in to the appropriate Respec NPC and then type '/respec realm' in front of your class trainer. The NPCs that accept these respec stones are listed below.

Albion - Paiton Hazlett in Camelot
Midgard - Haili in Jordheim
Hibernia - Bretta in Tir na Nog
