Version 1.66D Patch Notes (Test)

Straight from the Camelot Herald:

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

Dark Age of Camelot

Version 1.66d Release Notes

November 4, 2003

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

NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

– The mystical boards summoned by the Convoker Summon Wood ability are now tradable. They have also had their weight increased in accordance with the intent of the ability.

– Fixed a bug where the Battlemaster 1 ability Sapping Strike was using old values. The correct values have a higher endurance cost for the user and inflict a lower endurance penalty on enemy targets within range

– Fixed a bug that allowed boats to be dropped in lava.

– We have added additional feedback to many of the area actions. (Dig, search, etc.) This timer dialogue should tell players how long they have remaining before they complete these actions (or if they cancel them).

TRIALS OF ATLANTIS WORLD NOTES

Oceanus Encounters

– Runihura can no longer be pulled outside of his temple.

– The stone encased necklace and the bloodied barbed staff can no longer be picked up by necromancers.

– The jagger sharks are now a little tougher. They are also a little faster when frenzied.

Egg of Youth

– Resolved an issue where one of the braziers surrounding Sililia’s Lair would be set to realm friendly, thus making it resistant to all damage.

– Sililia level has been adjusted slightly in order to bring it better in line with the expectation of a 2-3 group encounter. The huge braziers have also been lowered in hits and they will no longer issue a test message when destroyed.

– Clicking on a treasure chest in the Aten’s shield encounter area will now break stealth.

Kirkleis

– Slight modifications were made to the removal of the belt and gem associated with this trial. When Kirkleis dies, anyone within the structure surrounding the statue will lose both objects. Anyone who is in the surrounding area (outside of the structure) and has not completed this encounter or Master Level 1 will keep these two items. This should alleviate the issue where groups that are waiting their turn to complete the encounter would lose their belts and gems.

Fadrin

– Fadrin’s barrier will no longer spawn without Fadrin first being present.

Oceanus Quests

– Berserkers who received the wrong item from the Wicoessa’s Proposition quest will now be able to turn their vest into Wicoessa for the correct item.
