World

A Dragon's Curse Campaign



Prologue:
Albion
There is an un...easy tension stirring in Albion. Commander Selan and her companions, King Constantine’s chosen heroes, have been given authority over this unusual phenomenon. There is quite the uproar occurring near Albion’s grand church. Find Commander Selan and speak to her!
Midgard
Roshak has been assigned to investigate the distrubance in Malmohous by King Eirik and is ruminating on who should lead the expedition. Theso, leader of an unruly band of treasure hunters and scoundrels known as the Frozen Torch, is now leading the forefront to find lost Midgard relics. The only way to stop these treasures from falling into the wrong hands is to find them first, and that’s just what Sigrun of the Shield of Valhalla, a sect of Valkyries and other soldiers loyal to Midgard’s ancestry, plans to do. Visit Roshak in the Assembly Hall and then find Sigrun and Theso arguing near the Burial Grounds in Jordheim.
Hibernia
The Veil has become unstable, and we’ve dispatched Hibernian Magi to try and quell the disruption. On top of that, a Glimmerling has ventured from Sheeroe Hills and has come to Tir Na Nog seeking an alliance in regards to the unstable rift. The Glimmer working with Hibernia is a rare occurrence indeed, and is worth at least hearing out this messenger. Our Tailtiu allies have escorted the Glimmer here, and Supreme Eldritch Cystilla has been assigned to oversee the matter at the rift's entrance.

The Catacombs are no longer safe for players to venture into.
Intrepid adventurers should seek out the NPCs mentioned above to see what might be done about it.
Please note that any characters logged out in Catacombs will be moved to their bind point or last safe zone upon login. This process sometimes takes two attempts when logging in from the character selection screen.

General

Changes

The /appeal system windows’ text has been updated to better direct players to their best course of action.
Enemy realm characters can once again teleport to the ruined keeps of Caer Benowyc, Bledmeer Faste, and Dun Crauchon as long as the requisite towers and keep are captured and the supply line is intact.
Players can now use the /realmwar map window to teleport directly to the relic towns.
All “slow” spells have been converted to “snare” spells that ignore (and do not grant) immunity.
This means that all expected mechanics work (purgeable, does not work on targets under the effects of Speed of Sound, Charge, etc.).
Snares function like roots, and as their duration dwindles, so too does the power of the snare.
These snares do not break on damage.
Magical-based snares are reduced by resistances, Determination, and Stoicism.
Some spells that were slows have been removed altogether. See below!
All weapons on all realms that once had proccing pets have had their procs changed as follows. The affected weapons are:
Traitor’s Dagger
Pet proc remains. Duration reduced to 15s. Vampiric Mist damage increased slightly.
Astral Blade of Illusions
Pet proc remains. Duration reduced from 15s to 8s. Proc can still not be used in Mobile Stance on light tanks.

Bug Fixes

The mouse cursor should no longer move to the center of the client’s window and register clicks in rare cases, usually involving some combination of left+right-click to move forward and attempting to target.
Several fixes were implemented to alleviate issues for players who used left-click and right-click mouse keybinds as gameplay functions (such as auto-run, stick, face, etc.).
These fixes should enable these players to use the mouse as they currently do on live (or very close to it).
Added a /keyboard window setting to enable or disable the "move forward" keybind from breaking auto-run.
The default setting will be that auto-run is NOT broken by the "move forward" key.
User Interface editors should look at the key_config.xml window in the UI/Atlantis folder to see the new setting and add it to any custom key_config.xml windows.
Mouselook is now automatically turned off when bringing up the /keyboard window.
Tooltips will no longer draw when in mouse look or mouse pan modes.
The /keyboard window no longer allows mouse clicks to go through the window.
This means targeting, mouse-turning, or mouse-panning will no longer happen if the initial click happens while the cursor is hovering over the /keyboard window.
The issue causing other player-characters to periodically disappear from view when inside the clip-view range has been corrected.
Hibernian Siegecrafters will now see the Fortified War Ram Apparatus recipe (130 skill) show up in their list properly.
Fixed a crash bug in some behind-the-scenes guild processes.
Several issues with taunt styles/spells and heal spells applying incorrect “hate” values have been corrected. This should result in much more consistent monster-aggro management in PvE.
Fixed an issue where occasionally characters who had been deleted would remain in the guild’s roster.
Omni-regen potions should no longer overwrite concentration-based power regen buffs from Healers.
Omni-regen potions should no longer overwrite concentration-based health regen buffs from Clerics.
The positions of Dun Ailinne’s towers should be corrected on the /realmwar map.
Added a new slash command for custom UI developers to better debug adapter issues in-game:
/showadapter <name>
This command displays the current value of any scalar or text UI adapters.
Use this page to find a list of adapters: http://darkageofcamelot.com/content/xml-user-interface
Certain class abilities will no longer have their reuse timers reset by zoning or relogging.




Class Balance

Bug Fixes

The Cloak of the Loyal Bainshee’s delve and tooltip now both show the correct value of 35% for the Sound Barrier /use.
The Cloak of the Loyal Warrior's group fury buff has had its chance to resist Crowd Control reduced from 100% down to 50%. This will fix the issue causing debuffs to last through death on the Warrior and his groupmates when this ability is activated.
The Bonedancer’s returned cadet commander pet (level 16) now properly limits its maximum sub-pets to 2.
The Shaman’s Caustic Carapace ability now correctly awards the Shaman and his group realm points for any players killed by it.
Necromancer’s should no longer randomly lose concentration buffs when switching between their various forms.
Champion’s strength/constitution and dexterity/quickness line of self-buffs no longer overwrite concentration and supremacy potion buffs.
Champion’s strength/constitution and dexterity/quickness self-buffs now have a casting animation.
Note that Champion’s will need to respec to their Valor specialization to see this fix.
Champion’s strength/constitution and dexterity/quickness and Friar’s Grandmaster Staffman self-buffs should no longer trigger a 2s cast timer after their casts are completed.
Warden’s self-health regen buff should no longer be overwritten by Bards’ health regen chant.
Archery Bola and Patella shots should miss much less often now.
Realm abilities now only fire and reset their cooldown when the cast succeeds.
A few examples of this are as follows:
The Vehement Renewal realm ability will no longer fire and reset its cooldown if the group’s HP is full.
The Ameliorating Melodies/Vehement Renewal realm abilities will no longer fire and reset their cooldown if the user is not in a group.
Raging Power/Mystic Crystal Lore realm abilities will no longer fire and reset their cooldown if the user is at full power.
