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

Dark Age of Camelot
Version 1.83 Release Notes
Class Changes and Art Revamps
April 19, 2006

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

VERSION 1.83 INTRODUCTION

Last year, we asked you where we should put our focus. The polls, message boards, and emailed feedback all pointed to RvR and Class Enhancements, TOA Changes, and Tradeskill Improvements. In version 1.83, we have made a great deal of progress on these top issues, with Class Enhancements being a large part of our focus.

In 1.83, we have delivered the following:

Hybrid Enhancements: We have addressed three hybrids for this version - the Valkyrie, the Paladin and the Valewalker. As with our last two patches, our goal was to give each of these classes enhancements to their current abilities. We are also introducing new abilities to make them more desirable in RvR combat.

Healing Enhancements: We have addressed the Cleric, Healer and Druid with an eye towards overall improvement, but especially their heal spells and underperforming spec lines. Here, we are extending the length of RVR battles. We are also enhancing the archetype’s utility beyond simple healing/buffing.

Art Upgrades and Underwater areas: To ensure that Camelot remains the most visually beautiful MMO on the market, our artists have been hard at work revamping more than sixty structures in the game. Our content team has also added underwater adventuring in Midgard’s homeland, and look forward to deploying the same to Hibernia and Albion in future versions. Finally, we have redesigned the Leirvik Battleground.

NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

- 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 leisure 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.

NEW FRONTIERS WORLD NOTES


General Notes

- The hasteners at the secondary border keeps (Cain, Vindsaul, Snowdonia) have been moved down the hill to match the location change made to the hasteners at the primary border keeps.

- Tightened and slightly moved the location where players are ported to if they are teleported from the primary border keeps. This should prevent the rare case in which a player would be ported into an object.

- We have modified the mechanism that moves players from the primary border keeps if they remain in the area for too long. If a player now leaves the general area around the primary border keep, the new mechanism will reset the proper timers. The timers will then restart properly when the player returns to the primary border keep later. This will solve the issue of a player returning to a primary border keep and being moved sooner than expected.

- Caradawc has finally made the trip to the New Frontiers to join his ravenclan brethren.

- (Midgard) Fjall and his friends will no longer path all the way up the hill to Vindsaul Faste. This should prevent them from attacking unsuspecting players.

[illu]

Looks like they are giving quite a bit of Valk love.

Also will the different pets for the SM/BD etc have certain pets that are way better than others? It will be interesting to see if they are all the same or whether a troll + hammer is the ultimate :> Hmmm ML9 Pet Troll+Hammer

I couldn't find the I-win button for SB's :/ I want a PA to instakill casters I know 2handed crtiblade SB's do it all the time, but I want my kobbie with 1h to be able to do it :> Or I want a kobbie only ability that you can use on female enemy casters that makes them go into a trance for 10 seconds like they are listening to a siren, and then I can escape or re-stealth and PA again :> kobbie-powah 15min RUT 10second Mezz :>

Also I couldn't find the Bainshee nerf :/ Bainsheeeeeee's must dieeeeeeee :> Apco I'll get you soon It's nothing personal, just bainshees :>

You know if you had the full galladoria or whatever epic dungeon armor set and the necklace you'd get perma end/power regain 3 or so, dependant on your class. I guess it stopped working at some point, and then, after 1.83 it works again.

 

[Emmet]

woot? they changed leirvik? :> wonder how it will look like

 

[Agrigo]

Looks like they are giving quite a bit of Valk love.
Oli - Illu

Its nice to have Charge and all that , but still missing Evaid 1 and i want that bleed off odins madness for teh PvE , Malimus must DIE 1!1! now he will just resist the proc and ill pull passing agro :<

 

[liloe]

I had Mirani hitting me today in a zerg.....I was laughing my ass off at the damage.

Ok, Valks really need some more than this, but from what I've heard the new spear styles had major bugs and they wanted to get out 1.83 for the other classes....

but sometimes I think some Valks just hit for crap dmg cause they have crappy templates =)

Can't wait to get charge myself though

 

[Samaroon|Terracotta]

About time they fixed Leirvik

 

[pip]

?another patch where mids get raped?

 

[Bugz]

?another patch where mids get raped?

lol. k.

 

[fettoken]

15 % heat debuff on 219 dd delve for Wizards..... 251 dd delve...

 

[Drusus]

Did i miss 1.83f ?

Love the way Necro's have been asking for the ability to summon differing pets so we can tell the difference in RvR, and Mythic always said 'it's not possible'
Now they give Mids and Hibs the ability, and still nothing sorted on Necros & Cabalists

Mythic /ignores necromancers, as they see them as a farming tool so they don´t have to spend their precious time on improvements.

 

[liloe]

15 % heat debuff on 219 dd delve for Wizards..... 251 dd delve...

and still less utility than a cabby, although the cabby can debuff his baseline nuke and deal about the same damage and stay alive at the same time....the Wizzy fixes were not well thought imho. It was all about dmg, not about utility

 

[Tesla Monkor]

Wizards shouldn't have gotten a damage increase. All the other casters should have gotten a damage nerf. >_<

 

[Enli]

Also I couldn't find the Bainshee nerf :/ Bainsheeeeeee's must dieeeeeeee :> Apco I'll get you soon It's nothing personal, just bainshees :>

Oli - Illu

They have to spec lower in their lajftap spec then.. plus they have a lower delve so its not near the damage of a Wizard.

 

[Alme]

?another patch where mids get raped?

do u try hard to make every reply make u look like a retard or does it just come naturally?

 

[Takhasis]

At least hunters get "something" from it....

- Resistance of Ancients - grp 20 min buff
- Pet swims under water.
- Razors edge 7 sec stun instead of 5
- Odins Wrath follow up has a bleed added

Last 2 only coz Valk's got it...

and ofc u'll laugh this away thus proving my point that u are a kid with an epeen

 

[Enli]

cant argue with the crappy part i guess , but still quite amused by a bainshee telling sb's they rely on their fotm'ness

np with it wont deny that the nerf wasn't a nerf but i'll reply like arumi did ---> i'm having fun and sticking to it
