Dark Age of Camelot

Version 1.69 Release Notes

April 14, 2004

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


NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

- Client performance caused by spell effects, encountering new players/monsters, and large battles should be greatly improved, especially on Windows XP systems.

- Optimized speed of zoning between two different worlds (Shrouded Isles to Homeland, etc).

- When attempting to repair a door without enough wood, you will now receive a message informing you of the number of wood units you need and the number of wood units you currently have.

- Speed of the Realm, the spell cast by each realm's hastener NPCs, has had its duration increased to 4 minutes. This should allow players to make it to the first keep in their frontiers before the spell expires.

- Other speed spells or songs will no longer overwrite Speed of the Realm.

- Self targeted "no recast" spells, such as self bladeturns, should now overwrite group pulsing bladeturns even during the 2.5 second no recast period.

- Enemy realm targeted spells can now be cast on targets you're dueling.

- Group-targeted spells and abilities now properly check for the distance of any pets of group members when casting.

- Point blank area of effect spells no longer fail if the caster has an object targeted.

- Focus spells now properly drop their effects when the caster is the victim of a crowd control spell.

- Endurance drain spells now report, "Your target's stamina wavers!" to the caster/proc beneficiary.

- Non list casters who have a spell list (usually by choosing a master level track) should now once again have their spell timers updated correctly.

- The stun component on the Albion thrust style, Dragonfang, has been reduced to 5 seconds.

- Dual wield type styles which have a self targeted spell effect should now fire even in the case that the second attack in the dual wield strike fails for any reason (target dead, out of range, etc).

- Legendary weapons made before 1.68 will now have reduced melee, spell, and archery damage bonuses. This change has been made to bring these items in line with the new guidelines established for Trials of Atlantis objects in Version 1.68. For more information, please visit http://www.camelotherald.com/more/1329.shtml.

- The damage over time "proc" on the Fool's Bow artifact will now fire correctly.

- The Restoration ability will now only convert healing to endurance based on the actual amount healed. A full health character who receives a heal will no longer gain endurance with this ability.

- Artifacts no longer incorrectly report experience gains from grey con monsters.

- Staves with +All Magic skills no longer give double Druid Nature skill bonuses.

- The Jerkin of Withering now reports endurance loss properly to the target.

- Items owned by their owners with heal procs no longer check for /nohelp.

- Players with /nohelp on will no longer be affected by the Crocodile's Tear Ring.

- Pets are treated as their owner for the purposes of the /nohelp command.

- With no quiver slot selected, a player's highest ammo slot in their inventory will always be chosen.

- When you successfully stick/follow/face someone, Run Lock will be automatically disabled so it does not kick back in after the target is no longer valid to follow (such as after the target player/monster dies).

- If you attempt to stick/follow/face someone and it fails, you will no longer stop following your previous target.

- When riding on horses, your arrow keys will no longer move the camera around (unless you are in mouselook mode or have mouselook toggle pressed down). Arrow keys will move the camera by default only when riding on a boat.

- Fixed an issue where spamming a key bound to a quickbar macro could make the macro (such as /qbar) fire incorrectly.

- (ToA Only) When running in windowed mode, the resolutions 800x600, 1024x768, 1152x864, and 1280x1024 will always be available to select, even if your video card does not report them as available resolutions.

- (PvP Only) Necromancers on PvP servers can now attack one another when one or both necromancers are in shade form.

- (PvE & PvP Servers) Using something other than a left axe in your off-hand as a shadowblade or berserker will no longer allow you to dual wield.

- (PvP Servers) Players will now correctly receive realm points when killing a player who is riding a boat.

- Boats can no longer be dropped in dungeons.


New Commands and Command Changes

- We have added the /gc logins command. This command will toggle a flag on your character which will send a text message informing you whenever a member of your guild (who isn't anonymous) logs on or off.

- The /who command has been altered to show a [CG] and a [BG] next to players' names who are the leaders of a public chat group and battlegroup respectively.

- The /who command now allows multiple different search filters at once. For example, typing /who 40 50 Wizard Emain Dragonhearts would list all of the level 40 through 50 Wizards currently in Emain Macha with a guild that matches the "Dragonhearts" filter.

- Any member of a public chat or battle group can now invite other players to join.

- A member count has been added to the /bg status command.

- You can now save your default camera position to your own setting. Place your camera where you want it to be, and type "/setcamera". To erase your custom settings, use "/resetcamera". Once you set a new camera position with /setcamera, you can move your camera back to that position by pressing the 'Reset Camera' key. This setting is saved on a per-character basis.

- We have added slash commands for "/bonuses" and "/journal" - these commands do the same thing as if you had clicked on the respective buttons on the Command Window.

- Added a new slash command: "/quiver dump" - it will take any arrows in your quiver and drop them on the ground.


Interface Changes

- (ToA Only) The group and minigroup windows will now display endurance for each group member.

- (ToA Only) A new group buffs window has been added to let you see all of your groupmates' buffs. The new window can be opened with the button on your large group status window.

- Attempting to trade a no-trade item will automatically set the repair flag for the recipient of the trade. If the target can't repair the item or removes the repair status, any no-trade item will be removed from the trade.

- Quality and Condition have been added to shield chat delves.

- Speed has been added to weapon and shield full delves.

- Power percent bonuses now display in the BONUSES window.

- Right clicking on a Combat Style icon will now display the name of the Previous Style requirement if there is one (before, it would simply show that there was a previous style required).

- You will now receive a pop-up confirmation box when using a realm ability respec.

- (ToA Only) The Vault has been changed to optionally have a "Page Mode" where you can view only items on a certain page, for those players who like to organize their personal and house vaults by pages.

- You will now get an icon at the top of your screen if you are being protected, guarded, and/or intercepted. Right clicking on this icon will display who is doing the action to you.

- (ToA Only) A "Quiver" button has been added to the Combat Style page to allow you to bring up your quiver (instead of typing /quiver).

- The text of a macro will no longer be added to the list of previously entered commands (accessed by pressing "Shift-Up").


Realm v. Realm

- Both of the tower doors on Caer Benowyc can now be used to enter the tower by Hibernians when Hibernia controls the keep. (Previously, one did not work)

- Relic capture messages now display once to everyone in every zone.

- Keep capture messages now display once and only once to everyone in every zone.
