1.70aj.....

[Ctuchik]

The plan right now is to take the servers down one more time at 10 AM EDT tomorrow morning, and bring them back up by 1:00 PM EDT. As always, I'll update this spot if that changes.

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


Dark Age of Camelot

Version 1.70aj Release Notes

June 24, 2004


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



NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES


- There is now a limit of 350 creatures which can be in the area (within approximately 4000 units) for players to cast Animist turrets, bombers, and Theurgist pets. This change should help our servers handle the strain of massive battles with pets and turrets more effectively.

- There is a now a maximum limit of 100 Animist turrets that can be summoned within a 1500 unit radius. Attempting to place another turret in an area already containing the maximum will give an error message. Please note that this does not affect Animist bombers or Theurgist pets. This change should help our servers handle the strain of massive battles with turrets more effectively.



NEW FRONTIERS NOTES


- Keep/Tower piece and door conditions are now saved correctly on a server reboot.

- You should once again see messages from the Pickpocket master level ability when also receiving an outpost bonus.

- Boats will now block line of sight.


Realm Ability Changes and Fixes

- The Shadowstrike realm ability should no longer fail with the "You don't think you can reach your target from there" error message in open areas. That error message should only appear when you try to use the ability in enclosed areas that you could not otherwise reach.


ok i cant say i like the animist and theurg pet spams but comeon!!

 

[Yussef]

Kinda harsh.

 

[Funkybunny]

this is for us servers right? hopefully Matrix online will be out before that hits our server

 

[Danya]

Do you really need a few hundred turrents spammed on top of each other tho?

no i dont. but making a hardcap limmit on how many in a area is abit sux if theres alot of animists/theurgists,, means the animist wont even reach their 16 turret limmit in those huge fights...

 

[Danya]

Oh no!

 

[Tafaya Anathas]

Omg no more 'put down a gazillion turrets and wait for RPs'

 

[Balbor]

why is the limite 16 turrets in an area? hehe

 

[Jaem-]

didn't understand it, does it mean no longer instant death passing through a milegate?

 

[Franya]

Maybe they should add a hardcap limit like "there's only allowed 10 of each class per 3000 units radius"

and only 3 bonedancer-pets in each zone! so only one owerpowered dude should be allowed to have pets up

 

[Ctuchik]

no probably not as the fucking stealth zergs will still hang around there.....

 

[Teren]

no milegates in NF n00bs

First Nerfage for Animists /Cheer

 

[Ctuchik]

First Nerfage for Animists /Cheer

no, second acually. and its not only animists. theurgists get hit by that to.

and whats worse is thats they count BOTH the theurg pets and the animist pets together. its not xxx pets of each, its total.

/edit, ok theres a separate 100 ani turrets but suppose that rule wont be counted when theres a shedload of theurgists there to..

 

[Eroa]

We want large scale battles Mythic cry out!

Then they render some of the classes useless in largescale battles. So fun beeing on a Relicraid as theurg or animist only to find out you cant cast pets cus of to many ppl in the area.

 

[Danya]

Which would you rather have, sometimes unable to use your full compliment of pets, or the server crashing every fight?
