NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

- Siege resist will no longer be displayed in the Bonuses window.



NEW FRONTIERS NOTES

Realm Point Earning Changes

Due to player feedback, we have made the following changes to the realm point earning system to lessen the penalty against higher realm rank players and to provide a bonus for lower realm rank players.

- The amount of realm points received for killing someone of lower realm rank/level than you has been increased significantly.

- If you are of a lower realm rank/level than the player you killed, you will now receive more realm points than you would if you killed a player with an equal or lower realm rank/level.

- Note that the above are based on a sliding scale, the difference between the two realm rank/levels determines the amount of realm points earned. For example: A realm rank 9 player killing a realm rank 2 player will make fewer realm points than when killing a realm rank 8 player. Or conversely, a realm rank 3 player killing a realm rank 8 player will make considerably more realm points than when killing a realm rank 5 player.


Realm Rank Extension

As Dark Age of Camelot progresses, many of our players have fought their way to the tops of the realm rank charts. To allow these players the opportunity to achieve new goals in the New Frontiers, we have extended the realm rank system to Realm Rank 12.

- Characters will receive one realm skill point for each realm level, which means that the total possible realm skill points will increase from 100 to 110.

- Specialization bonuses will continue through Rank 11 and Rank 12 - with a total of +11 at Rank 12.

- Characters with 9,111,713 or more realm points will need to earn at least 1 realm point before they will become their appropriate new realm rank and level.

Albion Rank Title - Lord/Lady
Midgard Rank Title - Herra/Fru
Hibernia Rank Title - Barun/Banbharun

Level 0 - 8,208,750 Realm Points
Level 1 - 9,111,713 Realm Points

Level 4 - 12,461,460 Realm Points

Level 6 - 15,353,765 Realm Points
Level 7 - 17,042,680 Realm Points
Level 8 - 18,917,374 Realm Points

CLASS CHANGES AND FIXES

General Changes

- The casting time for the Bard's specline group heals, the Tones of Health line, have been lowered. This change is in accordance with the baseline and specline group heal change done with version 1.72a.



CLASSIC CAMELOT WORLD NOTES

Starting Locations

All starting locations for newly created characters have been revised and updated. Players choosing to start in classic Camelot locations will now start in the same village in each realm.

- Albion characters will now have a choice of Cotswold or Caer Gothwaite as starting locations.

- Midgard characters will now have a choice of Mularn or Aegirhamn as starting locations.

- Hibernian characters will now have a choice of Mag Mell or Grove of Domnann as starting locations.

- All newly created Shrouded Isles races and base classes now have the option of starting in either a classic Camelot location (Cotswold, Mularn, or Mag Mell) or their Shrouded Isles location.


New User Quests

- The new base class trainers in Mularn, Cotswold, and Mag Mell will now tell players to go and visit with the new user quest givers when they interact with them.

- (Pendragon Only) For players who are starting the new user quests for Hibernia, Aethic has now returned to his rightful place. Players will now be able to continue these quests.

- (Pendragon Only) Advanced classes have been added to the quest, Stolen Eggs, for Midgard. Players who are stuck on this quest because they have spoken to a class trainer to become an advanced class will now be able to complete this quest by saying "appreciation" to Griffin Handler Njiedi.


Midgard

- (Pendragon Only) Base class trainers in Mularn will now spawn properly.



TRIALS OF ATLANTIS WORLD NOTES

Temple of Twilight

- The Triton Brigand can no longer be attacked.


Artifact Notes

- The Belt of the Sun will once again summon bows for Scouts, Hunters, and Rangers (a bug was fixed that was causing the bows to do zero damage).



PVP SERVER

- Player vs. player safety flags have been disabled in all Trials of Atlantis zones (with the exception of the Hall of Heroes zone). When entering these zones, characters under level 10 will be vulnerable to attack, regardless of their PvP safety flag status.

not sure if i like the increase in Realm levels. its ofc good for ppl there already got an huge amount of RPs, what i like is that even if ppl got alot of RPs im sure that none have hitted the cap 23 mio RPs yet!

 

[Chronictank]

i would prefer if they made it so u get rps same as the rest of ur grp even if youre dead

 

[Flimgoblin]

i would prefer if they made it so u get rps same as the rest of ur grp even if youre dead

you get 25% of them come NF....

 

[Archeon]

i would prefer if they made it so u get rps same as the rest of ur grp even if youre dead

That would be nice, I hate being the first to die. Though I suppose in fairness you arn't really doing much when your dead... maybe some kind of system where if the enemy was below... say 50% HP when you died you get RP from them in your corpse state, though i'm not sure if that would be possible.

 

[Wirey]

well put it this way Garb/Domain/Outaw/Zoyster/Zzang/Stubbe /Sheph or such will be RR12 dont u think ? some kool new names to be looking out for not just Invader/Defender

 

[Wirey]

RR11 as well

 

[Novamir]

"Albion Rank Title - Baronet/Baronetess"

hahahahahahah

they dont realise that the feminine Baron is a Baroness? damn yanks :/

 

[Solabar]

"Albion Rank Title - Baronet/Baronetess"

hahahahahahah

they dont realise that the feminine Baron is a Baroness? damn yanks :/

Except that a Baron is not the same as a Baronet. Problem is that there is no female equivalent to a Baronet...... Much as I spent a whole 5 mins looking on the net to see what is was......

Edit: To mention they may have been better going with the titles Earl and Countess really.....

Closest one to rr12 is ~2.7 nillion RP's away.

 

[Lumikki]

"Fru"..... hehe

Herra is good though

 

[Cylian]

"Fru"..... hehe

Herra is good though

"Fru" sounds a bit like "FU!" with a typo

Compared to Enherjarna(sp?) or even Stormur Herra, the new titles don't really sound impressing imo.

 

[Eroa]

Fru means wife

 

[Coren]

I wonder if Norsewomen are still called "Norseman <RR>".

 

[Saigean]

Herra is the icelandic word for Lord.
Fru is just the title, Mrs.

Quite funny imo.

 

[Dreami]

Herra means Sir in Finnish

Also Baronets use the title "Sir", not "Baronet".

 

[cemi0]

well put it this way Garb/Domain/Outaw/Zoyster/Zzang/Stubbe /Sheph or such will be RR12 dont u think ? some kool new names to be looking out for not just Invader/Defender

[Xeanor]

[Lejemorder]

[Sigurd]

and i think this new rp system looks cool gettin extra skill points and that :>

Erm... by stuffing everyone in one starter city?

 

[Lethul]

Silversong the bard on Korean servers has 25m, he will ding

 

[Thegreatest]

Silversong the bard on Korean servers has 25m, he will ding

he obviously has no real life then

 

[Fafnir]

Silversong the bard on Korean servers has 25m, he will ding

Well over there people die while playing games.

Or conversely, a realm rank 3 player killing a realm rank 8 player will make considerably more realm points than when killing a realm rank 5 player.

Amazing it took them 3 years to figure that out

Wonder how their internal testing procedures are set up? Obviously not by stresstesting the extreme limits in their design.

 

[Javai]

The change to make everyone start in same location is bad, will anyone ever go to Prydwen Keep again! And HUmberton will only be seen by those using respec stones.

Don't see the point of this change just removes some atmosphere from the game.

 

[Aremeriel]

Realm Rank 11
Albion Rank Title - Lord/Lady
Midgard Rank Title - Herra/Fru
Hibernia Rank Title - Barun/Banbharun
Realm Rank 12
Albion Rank Title - Baronet/Baronetess
Midgard Rank Title - Hersir/Baronsfru
Hibernia Rank Title - Ard Tiarna/Ard Bantiarna

Hmmm... I don't really mind herra, fru or hersir, but baronsfru??????? sounds too much like hib rr11 male title barun and albion rr12 titles to me... They really should come up with something else for female mid rr12 title...

And going from the lower herra titles as stormur herra etc to just herra sounds like you've been degraded.. LOL
