Pendragon Hot Fix #2

Hello all,

The newly revamped lower level dungeons and the new campaign encounter have both received some improvements. Read on for more details!

  • New Quest Givers are now outside the Tomb of Mithra, Nisse's Lair, and Muire's Tomb that will grant players quests for each dungeon.
    • All Named monsters in these dungeons will now correctly drop their new loot.
  • King Uther's hitpoints have been increased significantly.
  • The amount of monsters around King Uther have been reduced slightly
  • The overall difficulty of the encounter has been toned down slightly while other adjustments have increased the difficulty for AFK players to participate and survive the encounter.
  • A new repeatable quest and reward have been added to the encounter. Speak with Lieutenant Haley to receive the repeatable quest after defeating King Uther at least once.
  • The Realm Rank 14 Titles for Albion have been changed as follows:
    • Archduke changed to Arch Duke
    • Archduchess changed to Arch Duchess

As always, stay tuned for more updates!

The Harbinger of Spring Returns to Killaloe!

Springtime is here again, and with the warmth and renewed bloom of the landscape an ancient menace returns!

The deceptively cuddly Harbinger of Spring has found its way into the Battleground of Killaloe once more. It has devoured the Keep Lord of Dun Killaloe and has taken up residence on its roof, awaiting fresh prey. The Kings of the Realms have placed a bounty on this beast, and have dispatched Channelers to the Borderkeeps of Castle Sauvage, Svasud Faste, and Druim Ligen to offer passage to any who wish to drive this menace out of Killaloe and collect the coveted Gem of the Harbinger!

The Killaloe Battleground Event will begin this morning, Monday, March 30th and conclude in the morning on Friday, April 3rd. Following the Battleground Event, the Rites of Spring quest will be activated in the Frontiers on Ywain.

On Gaheris, the normal Rites of Spring event has been activated!
 
To gain access to the Killaloe Battleground speak with the following Channelers:
 
In Albion - Master Truji in Castle Sauvage
In Midgard – Stor Gothi Acheren in Svasud Faste
In Hibernia – Channeler Inarea in Druim Ligen


Battleground players, don't forget to speak with Lady Mirabelle in Castle Sauvage, Svasud Faste, or Druim Ligen in order to obtain the Egg Hunt quests!

Clik here to view.

 
Note: All characters will be able to obtain a new Gem of the Harbinger, even if they got one last year! The Bracelet of Springtime Folly quest will be activated when the event moves to the Frontiers.

Stay tuned on Friday for more information on the Rites of Spring event moving to the Frontiers!

 


Announcing Dark Age of Camelot's Newest Expansion

Atlantis Rising



Highlights


  • The magic of the ancient Atlanteans has returned to the lands of Atlantis. What was once mostly half-submerged is now an entire floating continent!
  • As Trials of Atlantis introduced underwater swimming, Atlantis Rising is pleased to announce the ability to FLY!
  • Explore the formerly submerged halls and caves of the old Trials of Atlantis dungeons and see what new monsters have taken up residence.
  • Earn Master Level 50 by proving yourself in brand new trials and encounters that make the ToA raids seem quick and easy!
  • Discover the 210 new Master Level abilities! 
  • Find all 40 scrolls to unlock and activate each new, even more powerful Artifact! Will you be the first to get yours to level 100!?
  • Play as one of the three new races - Archangel, Aesir, and Daone Maithe - who gifted the realms with the power of flight!
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.


World Notes


  • The Trials of Atlantis zones are now a floating continent.
    • Players will need to wait at the new landing pad outside the Ruins of Atlantis for the Pegasi that will take them to this familiar, yet entirely changed land every 30 minutes!
    • 20 new, previously submerged dungeons and areas are now available for exploration!
  • With the magic returning to Atlantis and the newly added player flight, the Celestius zone has effectively been expanded to the size of New Frontiers!
    • Battle your sworn realm enemies in tons of space - and literal Space!


Encounters


  • Thousands of encounters have been revamped, improved, and added to the floating continent of Atlantis!
    • We hereby guarantee these encounters to be bug-free!
  • Raid times for most dungeons and new Master Levels are projected to be in the 7 to 15 hour range!
    • NOTE: Projected raid times may be longer if a battlegroup does not have the full 200 people.


Class Balance


  • The 210 new Master Level abilities will be extensions off of the existing 7 Master Level lines.
  • These new abilities will grant exciting powers to characters that have never been seen before.
    • We do not anticipate these new abilities affecting the balance of the Realm vs Realm combat you know and love!


Items


  • 820 new Artifacts await discovery!
    • Each artifact requires 40 scrolls to be found in order to activate it.
      • Scrolls can only be found on certain monsters.
    • Once activated, its stats will be obtained as the artifact is leveled. Each new artifact has 100 levels!
      • Each artifact has a different leveling-mechanic; our favorite of which involves trolls and lurikeens!


Races


  • The Archangel race is now available in Albion
    • Archangels can be any Albion class except Heretic, Necromancer, or Reaver:  each of which they are required to attack on sight.
    • Archangels are excellent flyers, using the wings on their backs. They therefore grant any grouped players with the ability to fly.
      • When flying, groupmates are encouraged to hold on tightly to the Archangel's feet while their powerful wings carry them all skyward.
  • The Aesir race is now available in Midgard
    • The Aesir can be any Midgard class except Thanes because Thor has a monopoly on lightning in Asgard and won't share with the other gods.
    • The Aesir grant any grouped players with the ability to fly; because they're gods.
  • The Daone Maithe race is now available in Hibernia
    • The diminutive, fairy-like Daone Maithe can be any class except Valewalker, Hero, or Champion due to the weight of the weapons wielded by those classes.
    • The Daone Maithe sprinkle pixy dust on any grouped players in order to grant them the ability to fly.
      • NOTE: Grouped members are also encouraged to think of a happy thought in cases where pixy dust runs out.

There you have it, friend! Atlantis Rising should be available in December, 3026.

Live Server Downtime - Bug Fix

Greetings all,

All Live Servers will be coming down this Friday, April 10, at 5:45 AM EST / 10:45 AM GMT. Servers should be back online by Friday, 9 AM EST.

A bug with certain Two-Hand and Ranged-slot weapons was introduced with 1.117E: Any instrument, bow, or 2-handed weapon needed for certain abilities is unusable immediately after logging in or zoning. We will have a permanent fix for this once the servers are back online Friday morning.

In the meantime, players can use the following temporary fix:
If you are receiving a message that an ability or weapon cannot be used because you need to equip the weapon first (even if it is already showing as equipped), please remove and re-equip that weapon. Double left-clicking the weapon in question is the fastest way to do so. Please note that this fix will need to be applied after every relog or zone made by the character. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused and will have this resolved Friday morning.
