1.65D On Pendragon
from Sanya Thomas

Lots of stuff here, gang. Read carefully, and test carefully!
===================================
Dark Age of Camelot
1.65d Version Release Notes
September 15, 2003
===================================
As noted on the Herald, this patch will bring change to the overall RvR experience in Camelot. Please note that we are not yet done with this patch.
Here are a few of the significant changes in 1.65D that we're ready for you to check out on Pendragon. We'd like to thank our testers in advance:
- We have changed the frontier keeps to provide variety in keep taking, as well as to shift the focus from a single door fight to a courtyard fight at many of the keeps.
- We have implemented a login check to prevent attackers or defenders from "camping" a frontier or relic keep with alternate characters.
- Based upon Team Lead and Player feedback, we have implemented many RvR-centric class and combat style changes.
NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES
- Fixed a bug that in some cases was causing increased resist rates for direct damage spells on epic (level 65+) monsters.
- We now, by default, display RvR combat deaths in the color of the realm scoring the kill.
Example:
(green text)Midchar was just killed by Hibchar!
(blue text)Albchar was just killed by Midchar!
(red text) HibChar was just killed by Albion Keep Lord!
- The realm ability Empty Mind was not functioning properly. It has been fixed, and the effects and costs have been lowered. Empty Mind now grants 5% resistance per level at a cost of 3, 6, and 10 for levels 1, 2, and 3, respectively. All players who had previously purchased this ability have had the ability removed and the cost refunded.
- All SI classes should now show up under the proper categories in the LFG windows.
- /gc autoremove account command is now active. This command allows you to autoremove all of a player's characters from your guild - including any alternates. Note that this command will fail in tota when attempted on a guild leader's account.
- All possessive class titles in Midgard have been fixed.
- All known spelling errors in spell text have been fixed.
- Styles that must be performed from Stealth now correctly state this when delved.
- Direct damage spells should now delve correctly.
- Gaining the points necessary for more than one realm level will now award you the correct number of realm skill points.
- Spell resists from realm abilities are now displayed and applied seperately to the character, which should reduce some of the extreme cases of very high
resistances.
- Previously, resist debuffs counted double versus resist buffs. This has been changed to make them count normally against item, buff, and racial resists.
- The /hood command is now implemented. Players wearing hooded cloaks can switch between hood up and hood down with this command. Default for hooded cloaks is hood down. The /hood command will not currently save when quitting or zoning.
- The amount of aggro generated by any damage add spells (damage adds or damage shields) has been reduced.
- Fixed a bug where keys that were held down (such as Ground Target,Mouselook, etc) would not work in high framerate situations.
- Fixed a bug where a key bound to 'Shift-' could fire when pressing just shift under certain situations and keybindings.
- Added new slash commands, /rpfilteron and /rpfilteroff to enable and disable the RpFilter. This flag saves on zoning and logging.
- Added the 'Stormcalling' spec line to the Player Market Query interface.
- We have added a new channel to the system window, "Resists Changed" messages. Any time your resists change from equipping items or spells (including those cast by Animist turrets), the messages will be printed in this channel, which can now be toggled. You can toggle the colors and display of these prints by right-clicking on the system text window.
RVR KEEP CHANGES
- We have introduced a new frontier keep layout at all frontier keeps except for Dum Crimthainn, Caer Erasleigh, and Nottmoor Faste, which will keep the old layout. This keep layout adds an interior door at the lord tower, and removes one of the doors at the gatehouse. Additionally, new doors have been added at each rampart into the lord tower. These new doors will only allow players from the realm that owns the keep to enter and exit the tower.
- We have replaced the Battlegrounds keeps with the new frontier keep layout.
- Outposts can now be claimed by a group leader for his guild with any full group of 8 players. Claiming will require confirmation of agreement by all group members.
- The experience bonus near frontier keeps now matches that of dungeons.
- When a frontier keep is claimed by your guild, with the guild and new frontier bonus, you will now get the highest experience bonus in the game when hunting around that keep.
- Players who attempt to log in near a frontier keep or relic keep that is "under attack" or owned by an enemy realm will now be moved to a "safe point". "Under attack" is defined as when the doors are actively taking damage or are completely broken open. The safe point for attackers is the portal keep of the enemy frontier they are in. The safe point for defenders is the border keep with the portal pad of the frontier they are defending.
- Note that players who go linkdead near a frontier keep will, in a future patch, have a 10 minute "window" during which they can log back in without being moved to the safe point.
CLASS UPDATES
Thane
- The power costs on all higher level Thane spells have been adjusted down.
- The values on Thor's Vigor have been increased to be consistent with other spec buffs.
- The radius of the Thunder Shout line has been increased to 300 and the damage adjusted upwards.
- The radius of the Call Mjollnir line has been increased to 350 and the damage adjusted upwards.
- Added the Mystic Crystal Lore ability to the list of Realm abilities Thanes can purchase.
Skald
- Increased the range of the Chant of the Brawl line to 1500.
- Decreased the reuse timer on the Warcry and Battle Shout lines to 15 seconds.
- Added a new shout in the Warcry and Battle Shout lines. War Howl is a new level 43 shout and Battle Roar is a new level 50 shout.
- Skald base hit points have been raised.
Minstrel
- Added a new shout in the Dischordant Note and Lesser Cacophany lines. Discordant Howl is a new level 43 shout and Deafening Cacophany is a new level 50 shout.
Savage
- A bug in Savage's chances to triple or quad has been fixed. Savages should now triple more frequently than before, and quad less frequently than before. Note that Savage Damage Per Second remains the same.
Theurgist
- Increased range of Confusing Gust line to 1500. This is a bug fix.
Sorcerer/Cabalist changes
- Added a L50 baseline lifedrain in the Body Destruction list (Essence Devourer).
Cabalist/Enchanter/Runemaster changes
- The Diminish Immunities line in the Cabalist Vivification list, the Vex of Cold line in the Runemaster Runes of Destruction list, and the Amplify Heat
line in the Enchanter Empowering line have been reduced from 15 to 8 seconds. These three lines debuff damage types the caster herself can cast, which makes the leeway provided by the increased "teamwork" duration the other resist debuff lines have unnecessary.
Cabalist/Enchanter/Spiritmaster changes
- The focus damage shield spell lines found in the Cabalist, Spiritmaster and Enchanter spell lists have been adjusted so that using them against monsters or players higher level than the =caster= has reduced effect. These spells have been used in exploitive ways that make certain encounters much easier than originally intended. Players will now have to use more conventional tactics to get past high-level encounter areas.
Warden Changes
- Increased range on Nature's Revenge chant to 1500.
Cleric Changes
- The range on Stunning Flash line was raised to 1500.

- Raider is now an evade style.
- Thrym's Strength had the short stun component removed.
Midgard Hammer

- Jambiyas will no longer report as daggers in combat messages.
- The Small Runic Defender will now grant a stealth bonus instead of an Instrument bonus.
- The common monsters in Doden's Gruva, Marfach Caverns, Hall of the Corrupt, and the Summoner's Hall will now drop class-specific unique objects, similar to the other frontier areas.
- The Staff of Split Marrow is now restricted to use only by spiritmasters, runemasters, and bonedancers. In addition, the recharge cost has been lowered to a more reasonable amount.
- The phantom proc from the Cliff Dweller Sword has been removed.
- The Hardened Wormhide Wrap, Worked Wormhide Wrap, Tanned Wormhide Wrap, Hardened Wormhide Cloak, Worked Wormhide Cloak, and Tanned Wormhide Cloak have been reduced in power so that they may be successfully worn
SHROUDED ISLES WORLD NOTES
- There are new ridable routes to the new faction based mounts. These new routes will all require you to have the proper faction to use the mounts (the same faction as the destination points), to ensure players do not accidentally take a trip into a hostile area. The new merchants can be found in the following areas:
Albion: Vilmalin can be found right outside Caer Diogel and will sell players a ride to Clifton.
