1.84i is now in testing on Pendragon. Here are the notes!

===================================
Dark Age of Camelot
Test Version 1.84i Release Notes
New Battleground and Class Updates
June 19, 2006
===================================

CLASS CHANGES AND FIXES

- All existing Valkyries, Valewalkers and Reavers have been granted a full respec.

- (Pendragon Only) Players may no longer bind at any location in the new battleground, Cathal Valley. Additionally, when players die, they will respawn at their portal keeps in the battleground.

- All single target bolts belonging to the Wizard, Runemaster, Eldritch, Shaman and Warlock have had their cast timers reduced by 20%. Thus, all bolt spells with a cast time of 2.5 seconds have been changed to have a cast time of 2.0 seconds, and all bolt spells with a cast time of 4.0 seconds have been changed to have a cast time of 3.2 seconds.

Fixed the warlocks bolt xD

Reavers getting a full respec = reaver love inc?

 

[Aeris]

rofl @ taunting warlocks

 

[Varna]

No reason to provide reavers with a respec seeing as we havent received any substantial changes to warrant a respec. I expect it's an error, and they meant Thanes.

 

[Azathrim]

A freudian slip on Mythic's part? Adding fuel to the "Reavers got all the ideas meant for Thanes!" conspiracy?

Nonetheless, I agree with you. It probably is a mistake. I do however not agree with you in that Mythic will correct it and give the respec to the Thanes.

10 to 1 Mids like Pip, Himse, xGenocidex and Svartmetall will call this a massive Midgard nerf patch.

Name a patch that isnt. Yet again, nothing to see here, move along...

Hmm no offense, but isnt the way to;

Albs have biggest population on all servers, followed by Mid then Hib.

Mids get things to counter the alb zerg, which end up being op to start then they get nerfed back to what it should have been.

Then hibs just get most stupid overpoweredness to even it out!

I could never take any offence m8

Not here, Mid and Hib are neck n neck..

Mids get things to counter the alb zerg, which end up being op to start then they get nerfed back to what it should have been.

We all got our fair share, but for some reason we get more anti than the other two, which doesnt really make sense. Necros didnt get half the bad press when they could LOS abuse, or leave their pet 5 miles away from their shade, and dont start me on bainshees and vamps..

Then hibs just get most stupid overpoweredness to even it out!

Here was a line about OPdness, but I changed my mind before the bleeting hearts of Ireland and Olde England book themselves into a Bupa hospital after another severe RSI attack as they whine about certain mid toons..

Anyway, we digress...back to the "yet another poo attempt at keeping my dev job" or "were playing WHO too much to care a fuck about DAoC anymore, its sooooo last week..." patch.....

Took them 7 days to make this.... to me its just slower and slower, and little randomes tunes. Cant be more than 1 man working on the notes tbh

So you want game altering changes every 7 days?

 

[Mey]

These are changes that they are implementing as the Testing of the patch goes on.

that valkyrie loving is a massive nerf to midgard!

 

[Syri]

that valkyrie loving is a massive nerf to midgard!

yeah, it's going to make everyone stop playing their thanes and roll a valk instead, the frontiers will be empty while they all level up!

 

[old.Whoodoo]

that valkyrie loving is a massive nerf to midgard!

Maybe not a nerf, but takes the piss out of Thanes who have been longing for group utility for 4 years...

 

[Wazkyr]

Thanes are still better than most other hybrids. Nice with bg + interupt. Id use thane in any mid grp, together with a few valks, all with sun weapons and then a SM with 50% energy debuff.

 

[Lejemorder]

something along this should be the new mid grp:

2xhealer
1xshaman
1xskald (atleast on us)
1xrm
1xbd (banelord)
1xbg (warrior got first priority)
1xvalk (mass interupt and nice dmg)

 

[Pretarded]

jesus, some poeple like to whine, its probably more like a style of life now i guess.
Even if they boost some mid class, they will still whine that its the wrong class >.<

1xvalk (mass interupt and nice dmg)

Use the warrior for banelord, skip the bd, they are nice but warrior with BL in assist train, Thane for bging with yber interupt and then ofc some valks for the interupts, spreadheal, charge, nice dmg, ect, ect ect.
Change the RM with a SM, energy debuff ftw.
But ofc thats just my PoV
