CAMELOT CLASSIC WORLD NOTES


General World Notes

- Numerous terrain updates for the Rilan, Brisworthy and Holmestrand housing zones.

- Art updates on various existing world structures.

- Players should no longer experience lighting oddities in the Vale of Mularn.

- Boat routes have been added to the Midgard realm for the classic zones as part of the underwater upgrade. The boats function similar to the boats available in the frontiers. Dockmasters can be found at Vasudheim, Audliten, Dvalin, Ft. Atla, and Naliten. The dockmasters sell tickets for the following boat routes:

Audliten to Vasudheim
Audliten to Ft. Atla
Vasudheim to Audliten
Vasudheim to Dvalin
Vasudheim to Ft. Atla
Vasudheim to Naliten
Dvalin to Vasudheim
Dvalin to Ft. Atla
Ft. Atla to Vasudheim
Ft. Atla to Audliten
Ft. Atla to Dvalin
Ft. Atla to Naliten
Naliten to Ft. Atla
Naliten to Vasudheim

- Along with tickets to the new boat routes, the dockmasters also sell a new water potion that will work for characters of any level. This will allow players to explore the new underwater content at their lesiure without worrying about drowning (at least for an hour). The effect of the 'standard nereid potion' will last for 60 minutes and the potion has 20 charges.

- New tinderboxes have been added to certain humanoids in the Classic zones. These tinderboxes create campfires that will regenerate your health, endurance and power if you are not in combat. These cannot be used in the Frontier zones. The campfires currently come in five tiers and increase in effectiveness accordingly. Currently they are only on low level humanoids such as bandits for Albion, Blodfelag in Midgard and villainous youth in Hibernia. More will be added as loot throughout the patch cycle.

- Additional landmark towers have been added to the center island of Leirvik.

- The mini-map for Leirvik has been updated.

[Vladamir]

but /drool, cos i toa wiz now m8rs

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!. Toxii's gonna do something other than spam SH ;<

 

[Gahn]

Wizzie love! oh wait Calefaction is the worse specc?

 

[Jjuraa]

Wizzie love! oh wait Calefaction is the worse specc?

its ice. so "hahaha ive just nearsighted you!"

.... "but now i have to run right up do you to do any damage. oops."

 

[Mabs]

its ice. so "hahaha ive just nearsighted you!"

.... "but now i have to run right up do you to do any damage. oops."

no its not, its Earth spec

druids and clerics didnt need any love but theres a suprise uke:

 

[danmrman]

Where is the heretic love?
FFS mythic get a clue.

heretics are hardcore as they are, your either the wrong spec or u need to learn the class

 

[danmrman]

Wizzie love! oh wait Calefaction is the worse specc?

its earth spec which nobody goes its just spare points in it for dmg shield maybe. altho if im correct u can get 50 fire 20 earth so u can get the low lvl one

 

[Ethna]

its typical, who gets changes :-(
3 alb classes
1 hib class
1 mid class

lol....what realm has base line stun....and what realm did get the nasty assasin changes...so c´mon its about time Wiz and Pally got some love...

 

[Moaning Myrtle]

its ice. so "hahaha ive just nearsighted you!"

.... "but now i have to run right up do you to do any damage. oops."

Errr...no.

Just Ice debuff then use single target Ice DD for much solo pwnage

 

[Emmet]

wizzy need some love tbh, they have nice dmg with fire spec.. but nothing else but with 50 fire 20 earth, you still only get 25%.. but still really nice + you can go 50 earth and get gtaoe and another nice bolt + aoe root lol

 

[Gidget]

lol....what realm has base line stun....

erm... alb hib and mid

....and what realm did get the nasty assasin changes...

erm... alb hib and mid

lol

 

[Flimgoblin]

its typical, who gets changes :-(
3 alb classes
1 hib class
1 mid class

and _how_ crap were the lines that got improved in alb?

it's down to a: alb having more classes, and b: alb having more crap classes (and anyone who says "but sorcs!" needs to learn to read - sorcs being good doesn't make the wizard earth line any better )

smite love isn't much - the higher delve DD isn't worth speccing for (2.8s 210 DD but only range 750 - you'll never get a cast off - and you lose spreadheal to get it)
pbaoe snare is on a ten minute timer

pbaoe heal on top of pbaoe dd is cool
heal on the smites is funny (but means I might actually heal something now by accident - nerf!)

 

[Fuaip]

Where is the heretic love?
FFS mythic get a clue.

tics dont need love. end of discussion

 

[Tiarta]

wizzy need some love tbh, they have nice dmg with fire spec.. but nothing else but with 50 fire 20 earth, you still only get 25%.. but still really nice + you can go 50 earth and get gtaoe and another nice bolt + aoe root lol

have you forgot the aoe snare the earth wizards can get (its quite good and its matter dmg which no mids have resist in - generally speaking)

and a good earth spec is 48 earth and rest fire - if you wanns single nuke then just use the baseline fire single nuke, and if you wanna do uber interrupt then use the earth wizards aoe snare (dmg 200-400, snare (33 % slower))

its fucking uber if you ask me

crowd control is useless more or less, the game is all about dmg and interrupt.

and the best interrupter alb has in a caster is earth wizard.

just too few albs have realised it yet, its just generally been like old frontiers that the only good spec for alb wizards was fire.

ALBS open your eyes, go earth !

 

[Aurores]

Time to start play again then i guess ^^

 

[Gamah]
