===================================
Dark Age of Camelot
Live Version 1.91 Release Notes
Styles, styles, styles!
November 28, 2007
===================================

NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

- All characters have been granted a free Mythic respec.

- Players are no longer able to access Dark Age of Camelot with the original (boxed) Trials of Atlantis client. Note: This does not apply to the Trials of Atlantis client with Catacombs engine. That client is still available for use.

- Nearsighted group member names will now be displayed in purple in the group and mini group windows as well as surrounded by a '^' character. Example: ^Bob^.

- The duration of all effusion group buff potions is now 15 minutes.

- The Sojourner Master Level 5 ability, Ancient Transmuter, can no longer be cast in capital cities or housing zones.

- Left-clicking on a keep or tower will now properly display the name and upgrade level of the structure.

- The Mauler Champion Weapons will no longer lose durability when repaired. Because of this change, these items can no longer be repaired by players. Any lost durability on these items can now be repaired along with lost condition at a NPC Smith.

- The Personal Bind Recall stone, Guild-house Recall stone, and Personal House Recall stone now have the proper self-only widgets.

- The volume has been decreased on the introductory game sound (Mythic.wav) by 50%.

FRONTIERS NOTES

- The hookpoints on the convex curved sections of the main keeps have been adjusted so the hookpoints and monsters are closer to the edge and match placement on other pieces of the keep.

- Dun Crauchon Tower 1 will no longer attract guards from other keep towers. This fixes a rare issue where there was a chance that one of the Hibernian roaming guards at the other Hibernian Tower 1’s might path to Dun Crauchon Tower 1 and join the patrol there.

- Spies among the Dragonsworn report that the dragons have dispensed with their weak-willed followers in the Frontiers, and replaced them with loyal minions who are not susceptible to any charm-based attacks.

CLASS CHANGES AND FIXES

General

- The Mending baseline healing 'Minor Heal' spells no longer display a self-only widget.

- The Warlord Master Level 10 ability 'Warguard' will now display the proper Point-blank area of effect (PBAOE) widget.

- Melee stuns will no longer be affected by +spell duration items.

- The Animist Arboreal Baseline spell 'Nature's Heart of Wrath' has had its group-only widget removed.

- The realm ability 'Purge' now displays a self-only widget.

- The realm ability 'Mystic Crystal Lore (MCL)' now displays a self-only widget.

- The realm ability 'Second Wind' now displays a self-only widget.

- The realm ability 'Charge' now displays a self-only widget.

lots of class changes

see here The Camelot Herald for full notes

 

[Cadelin]

Anyone able to summarize the style changes?

It seems that Levi for reavers and ragnarok for thanes + valks has been put second in chain reducing dps.

There seem to be some nice snare styles now.

Anything else important?

 

[pjuppe]

what is a widget?

 

[Billargh]

^What he said

 

[Reno]

That little thingie on the icon that should tell you whether the ability/style/spell you're about to use is AE/Pbae/reactionary/2nd-in-chain/positional etc.

Danita

 

[Maeloch]

A widget is a small piece of plastic that you find in tins of beer to control the release of gas on opening to give a draught-type head.

Can't see the cone AoE shield snare in those notes, that get dumped then?

 

[Lethul]

isn't widget pretty much an interactable icon?

 

[Gear]

- The Essence Flare poison created by the Master Level Ability 'Essence Flare' can no longer be placed in a player vault. This fixes an issue where they could be placed in the player vault which would bypass the intended mechanics of the poison's temporary nature.

WTS about 50 essence flare poisons

Seriously tho, they should reduce the timer on it if they gonna nerf the vault thing.

Then again, I don't see me playing the shade in the future and even if I do, there wont be any people around to mezz

Oh - The volume has been decreased on the introductory game sound (Mythic.wav) by 50%. - tfft.

 

[Cadelin]

The Camelot Herald

yeah that was also posted in the first post. I was hoping people who played tank classes might comment on which styles they will plan to use in RvR in future.

 

[partyanimal]

about the style changes...
the more things change, the more the same they remain...
one way or another, tanks had the same tools as b4. no big changes, just a few adjustmensts so all tanks can look alike n they become easier to play.
Minor adjustments will b made.
hybrid tanks traded dam for some utility, but generally its a nerf especially for solo players
altho thane, valk n reaver could slam n do their thing w bakstyles n procs, now they have halfed their dam output. i cant say they will underperform, maybe they will still win , but the fight will last longer.
it will clear to eu servers in 5-6 months

Oh well guess im gonna respec my reaver into slash after all these nerfs

 

[Lethul]

Oh well guess im gonna respec my reaver into slash after all these nerfs

solo reaver boost tho, second in side chain is a lifetap that hits for 305 when levi proc hits for 320. So slam = IP

 

[Kinetix]

solo reaver boost tho, second in side chain is a lifetap that hits for 305 when levi proc hits for 320. So slam = IP

Altho i only have a rr5 reaver i disagree mate. Second in side chain < 1rst in the back tbh, you cannot side them while they are runing away so no more levi when targets run from you and 2nd style means you have to make 1rst one.
So basically you have to make 2 styles and still get less output dam from 1 levi style.
If you tell me to strafe like a bitch ill bump you!!1

 

[Golena]

Oh well guess im gonna respec my reaver into slash after all these nerfs

Because slash gives what over flex after the "changes"?

Or are you just the typical OMG they nerfed my insta win, whiner? :touch:

Is that a typical omg im gonna post a clueless reply with no idea of what the poster was talking about?

Answer: yes


Have you even played a reaver?
Answer: Doubt it


Any more dumb questions?

 

[Cromcruaich]

I gotta say, i'm looking forward to having a rear snare on the thane in sword. Ok, so damage taking a hit, but preferable for 8v8.

Polar rift taken a bit of a hit though that is a shame - well its a shame for people like me who are shite at meleers.

I dont mind if they give more utility to tanks, but its not only levi that has moved to a secondart style. Even viper has no longer a block/stun effect, instead, they moved the stunner to a secondary style after viper.
Some clueless ppl might not see much difference, but for those who have played reaver for more then 3 nights know what im talking about.
This changes might be good for a tic but for reaver it sucks imho.
I might yet just spec reaver for like 42 shield 50 parry rest flex/soulrend. ( hurray for boobies! \o/) at least ill be a nightmare to be hit

 

[CorNokZ]

correct me if I'm wrong but iirc parry caps out at 34~ish with +11 in your template? :/

edit: My thane has been nerfed ): No more leet slam and 3xRag to pwn all ):

Dunno mate. Xrystofer speced 50 parry 50 flex or something like that so cant be that bad

That formula that calculates all that is very nice, but it calculates your cap vs a (very) low weaponskill, say a healer. An opponent with a much higher weaponskill, say a warrior instead of that healer, will take more parry etc to cap against.
