[15-07-2005] The Camelot Reporter
Today's news deals mostly with version 1.75, which is full of many extremely useful new features, a background piece concerning an Albion Realm Ability and the first part of a mini guide that will help those who recently joined Dark Age of Camelot and wish to get started on the Master Levels - they will discover here the first step of the first Master Level.
Debrief on the release of Version 1.75
Your first feedbacks about this new version released on Monday are really positive, you appreciated the numerous new features (as well as the adding of version 1.74) and we hope it will be the same with the future versions. We are now beginning tests for the server clustering of Carnac and Orcanie, Excalibur and Prydwen. We will inform you as soon as possible of the date planned for the installation of these changes.
We have had reports that some personalized interfaces that have not yet been updated sometimes encounter display issues. More often it concerns the contents of the vaults which seem to be empty - but they are not, don't worry. If you have this kind of problem, we can only advise you to use a default interface or to seek a personalized interface compatible with version 1.75. If you create your own interface you can compare it with the official ToA interface to see what is missing. You can also find a few tips to help you update it in the release notes. For those who wish to deactivate the tooltips that appeared with this new version you can find information to do so in the FAQ and it is quite simple. You will find the explanation by typing the words 'tooltip', 'client' or 'interface'. Please note that it is not possible to deactivate the tooltips with the Shrouded Isles version.
Besides this, the Market Explorers are still not available, but our teams and the teams at Mythic are of course working on that issue so that they can quickly do their job again.
Moreover, some of you face difficulties with targetting characters. This is linked to a new feature : the mouse camera pan mode. With this new feature, the target is selected when the left button of the mouse is released and not when it is clicked on. The target area of the enemy characters has not changed but we are checking with Mythic to find the best solution so that nobody feels any inconvenience.
At last, a little tip linked to the razing of the towers - which you can see in a Flash sequence on the community website :
When a tower falls to 0%, it collapses and about two and a half hours are necessary before it will return to 25% and take the shape of a tower again. It is only at this moment that you can begin manually repairing it. Thus, do not try to completely destroy it if you plan to take it and use it for a retreat...
