Camelot Patch Notes (Live)

Straight from the Camelot Herald:

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

Dark Age of Camelot

Version 1.70b Release Notes

June 24, 2004

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

NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

– We have made further code optimizations that should alleviate more of the lag issues on the higher population servers. We are continuing to watch server performance and will adjust further if necessary.

– You can no longer auto-fire Volley shots.

– Volley now clears your shot status correctly when aborting due to range restrictions.

– Volley and Trueshot no longer report tenths of seconds when preparing to fire.

– Items with matter resistance bonuses no longer delve as essence resistance.

NEW FRONTIERS NOTES

– We are taking several steps to alleviate the boat problems that players on high population servers are experiencing, as well as making boats more useful overall. We have made some server code changes to help reduce the problem of players being ejected from boats mid-journey, and have significantly increased the speed of each type of player boat.

– Target upgrade level and time to upgrade now continue to work correctly after a server reboot.

– The command ‘/rw’ will now open your realmwar map (this is the same as typing ‘/realmwar’ or clicking on the button on your group window).

– Players who do not have New Frontiers installed will no longer be able to attempt to teleport to the Battlegrounds zones. The portal NPC at the border keeps will not activate the medallion of passage unless New Frontiers is installed.

– Players can no longer assume control of enemy siege equipment in the battlegrounds.

– The Hibernian chieftains at Dun da Behnn, Blendrake Faste, and Caer Sursbrooke now spawn correctly when the melee version of the keep is upgraded to level three.

– Guards purchased from hookpoints will now always be fully equipped in armor.

– There was a small hole in the coastal water in Emain. This has been fixed.

– There were many trees in the roads in the frontiers zones. They have been removed.

– Searing Pet will now last the appropriate duration on the pet. (Note added at 1:17 pm eastern.)

Realm Ability Changes and Fixes

– All players who purchased the realm ability, Arrow Summoning, have had all realm abilities stripped and the points refunded. We apologize for the inconvenience, but it was priced incorrectly for a time on the live servers, and players could have been refunded the incorrect number of points by a partial refund.

– All realm abilities now have new icons.

– Dashing Defense and Strike Prediction no longer have doubled duration values when cast.

CAMELOT CLASSIC WORLD NOTES

Albion Quests

– Passage to Eternity – Step 21 – Players will once again be able to search the Blue Man’s Cave and locate the glyph.

– Arc of Ages – Step 5 – Players will once again be able to obtain the tome of summoning by wielding the staff in the correct place in Hadrian’s Wall. Please read the message the staff gives upon wielding, for the location of the arc has changed.
