Such a shame that you still can't change race...........I think I might make my kobbie slightly smaller and maybe less dex, more strength! :>

Archer Crit shot change / slight nerf, and also the Mauler's first small nerf?


The Camelot Herald



Character cusomization and other great things!


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

Dark Age of Camelot
Test Version 1.89d Release Notes
Character Customization and Sound Updates
May 10, 2007

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

NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

- Players can now customize their characters at any time using the Customize button on the character selection screen.

- In addition to modifying a character’s face, players may now modify starting stats. By default, after selecting Customize, a player will be presented with the character’s attributes as currently set. A new option has been added on the left side of the screen to reset these points. Players can re-allocate these points as they see fit, at any time. Players will then be able to move on to customizing the appearance of a character’s face, hair and height.

SOUND INTEGRATION

- With this version, there have been updates to existing sounds within the game. While we are focusing mainly on spell sounds, there will also be updates outside of that scope. Version 1.89d introduces only a few of the updated spell sounds while a later version will include a great many more.

- Lutes, flutes and drums have received a sound upgrade.

- Crafting failure, success, and masterpiece creation have received a sound upgrade.

- The sound which plays when a character is praying at their grave has been updated.

- The Berserker and Hero shapeshifting (Stag and Vendo form) sounds have been updated.

CLASS CHANGES AND FIXES

Archery

- Based on community and team lead feedback, we have re-evaluated and significantly reduced the miss rates of archery abilities. However, in order to maintain the integrity of the base DPS formula for archery, we will also be reducing the damage of archery abilities. Players should notice little, if any, change in the damage over time of these abilities once this change is made to Pendragon tomorrow morning (May 18th).

- A 10 second damage mitigation timer has been added to Critical Shot that will now reduce damage from all critical and power shots, from all archers, by 50% for the duration of the timer. This timer affects only the target, thus allowing the archer to change targets and still cause full damage to any target on which the damage mitigation timer is not active. During the last 5 seconds, damage will increase for each second up to full damage.


Mauler

- The Demand of Perfection line of casting time increases will no longer interrupt other players.

CAMELOT CLASSIC WORLD NOTES

General

- Fixed an issue in Lyonesse where the water planes were mismatched. The water in this zone is now all one color and transparent.


Midgard Monsters

- The graphical issue with Champion Niel's face has been corrected.


Item Notes

- The treasure drops, Drevaul's Guard and Drevaul's Skewere will now be assigned the proper material type when dropped.

- A number of monster's treasure indexes have been adjusted to make the level of the drops match the level of monster involved.

TRIALS OF ATLANTIS WORLD NOTES

Encounters - General

- The Steam Elemental will no longer give errors saying it is not visible when it plainly is.

- The Weakened Afrits now move a bit slower and have a slightly increased chance of dropping loot.

- The basic Afrit and Master Afrit are now much taller to help differentiate them from the Jannis.

- The basic Afrit will no longer be so easily interrupted while throwing weapons at players.

- The Bound Atlanteans can no longer be pulled far away from their Master Afrit.

it should only have been an option for classes like bards who were clearly misled at creation.

OR shadowblades..........."make a kobbie and you shall rule the world! Dex is the key - the key to killing all, especially those zerging nooblet albs and the tree hugging hibs, who happen to have lovely luris that you have to be kind to, but otherwise IF ITS RED ITS DEAD!"

Saying that though, I wouldn't change my kobbie to norse for anything. Kobbie's are sexy and have longer schlongs :>
Actually, it might be nice having the better starting stats, strength and racial resists.
Hmmmmm - tough one.

Kinda late yeah. But only giving it to bards as someone suggested wouldn't be good enough, simply because when the game was released, dex didn't affect casting times. So for that reason, I also didn't put dex at startup on my healer.
And I'm sure I'm far from the only one that did that.

Imo changing race/face/height/looks is crap :( I like it when you can actually tell who people are without having to read their name...

Dunno, wouldn't like change choices made back in the day. Sentimental and all that. Toons with 4-5 yrs played on em should have enuff rr by now to compensate anyhow and stick with their newbie choices. Not like it really makes much odds, should just give some roleplay function to redundant stats, /lol spam faster with higher quick, make clogs faster with more dex, whatever.

It's actually amazing how many people in this game you can recognize just by the looks, even if they dye their armour! Always helped me alot in RvR aswell.
Not like it matters much now with 0 friends online on Dyvet anyhow. On avalon I didn't really get to know people much when I didn't even get to rr5 :/

Anyhow, the starting points is a nice change I guess. When I made the pala I saw that charisma made people like you alot easier (easier to get groups?!) and being a religious man ofc I wanted alot of piety to fight for the church of albion!
