patch notes


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

Dark Age of Camelot
Test Version 1.73l Release Notes
Catacombs Unearthed
December 2, 2004

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


NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

- Fixed a bug which caused the current camera mode setting to reset when zoning.


Visual Quest Indicator

Since Dark Age of Camelot's launch, the number of quests in the world has risen dramatically. Quest NPCs for a particular level are often difficult to find, even with the help of town criers and class trainers. We have added a visual indicator in order to help players easily locate NPCs that will offer quests for their character.

- Players will now see a yellow indicator under an NPC's feet if the NPC offers a quest for the player.

- If the player is more than 15 levels above the quest's minimum level, the yellow indicator will not be displayed on the NPC.

- Bounty quests and one time drop quests will not display a quest indicator.


In-Game Map Changes

- You will now see pip indicators for your group members on the map window. These indicators will slowly update as your group members move throughout the zone map.



CLASSIC CAMELOT WORLD NOTES

General

- There are now portal NPCs in the capital cities. Channeler Deng'ani, Channeler Garl, and Channeler Sidral can be found in the main hall areas of Camelot, Jordheim, and Tir na Nog, respectively.

- All base trainers in the starting cities will now summon a guide for players to take them to the new user quest giver.



SHROUDED ISLES WORLD NOTES

Item Notes

- Players should now be able to sell lackluster scales that drop from various drakorans in Avalon City to NPC merchants.



TRIALS OF ATLANTIS WORLD NOTES

Volcanus Encounters

- Trial 6.4 - Added a failsafe to the encounter to allow it to spawn in the event that the uraeus snakes are stuck and cannot move towards the encounter area to form the Pallida-Uraei.


Item Notes

- Sinovia's Block (Albion) now has an Armor Factor bonus increase, making it equivalent in imbue to the other items on Sinovia's treasure table.

- Sinovia's Block and Sinovia's Shield (both Albion) have been replaced with Sinovia's Sinister Block (a medium shield) and Sinovia's Sinister Shield (a large shield). Other than the sizes, these two shields are identical in magical bonuses to the original items.

- Players may now apply dye to the following cloaks: Melos Pearl-Edged Cloak, Harpy Feather Cloak, A Healers Embrace, Shades of Mist, and Cloudsong.

- Players may now apply emblems to the following cloaks: Harpy Feather Cloak, A Healers Embrace, Shades of Mist, Cloudsong, Runed Serpent-Blood Cloak, Flayed Cetus Skin, Hardened Cetus Skin, Guardian's Cloak of Anathema, Guardian's Cloak of Wickedness, Katorii's Shroud, Flowing Antalya Shawl, Cloak of Heroes, Cloak of Whispers, Cloak of the Outrider, Cloak of the Seraph, Cloak of the Eternal, Astral Cloak of Heroes, Astral Cloak of Whispers, Astral Cloak of the Outrider, Astral Cloak of the Seraph, Astral Cloak of the Eternal, Steel-feather Cloak, Cloak of Heavenly Bodies, and Feathered Wrap.



FOUNDATIONS NOTES

- Fixed a bug with the terrain in the Brisworthy housing zone not matching the terrain of the neighboring zones. Due to this fix, the roads have been altered and the river has been moved in some areas. Some villages have been moved slightly from their original location to compensate for these changes. Please note that your village will still be in the same approximate area as it was prior to the terrain fix.

- Added a "Search for all Catacombs bonuses" option on the Player Market Search Window.


Market Explorer Changes

With this version, you may now purchase items directly through the Market Explorer. However, the Market Explorer will add a 20% commission for the service of retrieving the item for you.

- At the Market Search Results window, you may now press the "BUY" button with an item highlighted to open a merchant page directly, where you can buy items at the higher price.

- The owner of the Consignment Merchant will receive the standard amount his item is priced for and the Market Explorer will keep the additional 20%.

- Items may be purchased at the normal price by visiting the player's house directly.


Housing Teleporter Changes

In this version, the capital city teleporters have been merged with the existing multidestination house teleporters. With this change, housing now only has one house teleporter.

- The Albion, Isles, and Heroes Teleporter will now offer teleports to Camelot City. This teleporter has been renamed to "Albion Teleporter". In addition to this change, the Camelot Teleporter has been removed from the house hookpoint store and marketplace merchants. Players who wish to sell back their Canelot Teleporter may do so for the full sale price (100 gold) of the NPC.

- The Midgard, Isles, and Heroes Teleporter will now offer teleports to Jordheim. This teleporter has been renamed to "Midgard Teleporter". In addition to this change, the Jordheim Teleporter has been removed from the house hookpoint store and marketplace merchants. Players who wish to sell back their Jordheim Teleporter may do so for the full sale price (100 gold) of the NPC.

- The Hibernia, Isles, and Heroes Teleporter will now offer teleports to Tir na Nog. This teleporter has been renamed to "Hibernia Teleporter". In addition to this change, the Tir na Nog Teleporter has been removed from the house hookpoint store and marketplace merchants. Players who wish to sell back their Tir na Nog Teleporter may do so for the full sale price (100 gold) of the NPC.

y bother with the option? so look at it like this items costs 30p +20% = 36p

keep the 6p

 

[censi]

dye on artifact cloaks! fortehwin!!!

now we can all look different!

 

[Raven]

usefull for cheap things like power pots and stuff, crap for other items, anyway, by the time we get this on EU, the game will be long dead.

 

[[e]]

lol what bullshit about the 20% CM-ripoff - why put it in like this, nobody will use it...yeah 20 plat + 4 plat to save a horseride...eh nooo thank you. It would be a good idea, ofc Mythic needs to fuck it up.

 

[enigma]

It's a good moneysink for the cheap items. That's what it's most likely intended for. If you quickbuy stuff that cost alot of plat you have more money than time anyway.

would be better to scale iit by 20% for maximum of 500g for thr lazy arsed players

And every item sold at CM´s are priced at 20p or more. If I need a book for say...Braggarts Bow, and the book in total costs 100g, but the scrolls are spread out on different CM´s, I would prefer to pay 20g extra instead of running and riding back and forth for 30 mins, dunno about you tho.

 

[liloe]

any chance of keeping your constructive critisim to yourself? You may not play/enjoy the game anymore but theres others who do and really don't wanna hear the broken record that makes up 90% of your posts.

 

[Huntingtons]

[Light]

doubt Blizzard were the first people to think up highlighting someone with a quest for you

hell, CoH marks them on a map for you and puts a big arrow over their head.

But I imagine the "WoW has it" is probably a big incentive for them to put it in

 

[Rhirap]

lol some people just want everything for nothing....nobody says you HAVE to buy it from ME...

- Items may be purchased at the normal price by visiting the player's house directly.

go and buy it if you dont wanna pay the commission.....people whine that there isnt an option.....they put it in and ppl whine that its too expensive...go buy the item from the house directly then. i mean dont complain that its too much commission when it wasnt even an option before, and you dont even HAVE to pay the commission if u would rather not, just have to spend a little more time getting the item!
