Dark Age of Camelot
Test Version 1.62e Release Notes
Thursday, May 1, 2003
=====================================
.............................................
MORE ARCHER NOTES
- We've adjusted the way we calculate fumbles for Archery. Archery attacks have always had fumbles calculated differently than regular melee attacks. We've reworked this part of the Archery fumble calculation to be more in line with the way melee fumbles work, meaning Archers should notice a substantial decrease in their fumble rates, somewhere on the order of 1/4 what they were.
- Camouflage timers will no longer be reset by PvE attacks. Only an attack by the Archer on another player or a pet or turret controlled by another player will reset the timer. Camouflage is designed to let the Archer scout in PvP situations, so PvE interactions should not affect its timer.
- NOTE: We have seen complaints that Archers miss their targets at a higher rate then melee fighters. Please be aware that we have run extensive tests as well as looked at the formulas and have found the miss rates for Archers and melee are the same. We will continue to look into this as more reports and logs are generated by Archers, but for now there are no miss fixes.
- NOTE: We are working on one more fix for Archers, a long awaited See Hidden adjustment. However, it is still going through testing here, and is not ready for today's version but will be ready soon. We are currently looking at a system which will vary the range that an assassin can see a non camouflaged hidden archer anywhere from 1/4 to 3/4 of the current range depending on the archer's stealth spec vs the assassin's level. On average this would mean an assassin would have to be within about 1/2 the range that he can see the archer from now. Look for more on this change soon.
if they carry on at this rate .......
