Dynamic Keep Objectives

This system is designed to help spice up keep warfare and to encourage more varied and contested battles at the affected keeps. The objectives provide powerful enhancements and penalties, depending on which realm controls them, that should encourage many new tactics and strategies. These objectives are currently planned to remain active until Thursday, July 25th, 2019. We will be taking in your feedback on them and adjusting accordingly in the meantime. Depending on how they are received they may be extended out to additional keeps in the Frontiers in the future.

• The keeps of Caer Berkstead, Erasleigh, and Sursbrooke in Albion, Nottmoor, Blendrake, Hlidskialf Faste in Midgard, and Dun Crimthainn, Bolg, and da Behnn in Hibernia have been updated to use the dynamic keep objective system.
• Each of these keeps will now spawn their dynamic objectives whenever they are put under siege.
  • All dynamic objectives will initially spawn under control of the same realm that holds the keep.
  • Dynamic objectives will remain active for at least 10 minutes after a keep has initially gone under siege and will remain active so long as the keep remains under siege.
  • Under-siege status of a keep can be determined by the /realmwar map showing "flames" on the keep icon.
  • The objectives are spawned far enough away from their respective keep so a single force cannot camp them and the keep simultaneously.
    • For players familiar with the recent Manx on the Move event, the objectives are spawned at the same locations (except at only 3 locations out of the 4 the Manx used).
• The dynamic keep objectives are as follows:
  • Stone Quarry
    • When the defending realm of the keep controls the objective:
      • Upgrades the level of the keep one level after 60 seconds and then upgrades the level of the keep one level every 10 minutes thereafter.
    • When the attacking realms control the objective:
      • Downgrades the level of the keep one level after 60 seconds and then downgrades the level of the keep one level every 10 minutes thereafter.
  • Siege Workshop
    • When the defending realm of the keep controls the objective:
      • Triples the sturdiness of the outer and inner gates, respectively.
    • When the attacking realms control the objective:
      • Halves the sturdiness of the outer and inner gates, respectively.
      • Removes the ability for siege weapons to be placed on the roof of the center keep.
  • Portal Ceremony
    • When the defending realm of the keep controls the objective:
      • Realm-members can visit the Channeler at this objective to instantly teleport into the center keep.
    • When the attacking realms control the objective:
      • Blocks the defending realm from using the Channeler.
• A new repeatable quest, Generals' Bounty, is available to level 50s in the frontier.
  • This quest will remain active until Thursday, July 25th, 2019.
  • Players should visit the following NPCs to obtain the quest:
    • General Kogis in Albion's relic town.
    • General Bruki in Midgard's relic town.
    • General Vegda in Hibernia's relic town.

Hot Fix Notes

• The Mithril Shop has a new item for sale!
  • Visit the Mithril Merchant in each realm's capital city to obtain the Draught of Conquest buff potion.
    • This potion has 30 charges and works identically to the Draught of Supremacy potions except that Supremacy potions can only be used by accounts with an active subscription and Conquest potions can be used by all accounts.
• The realm abilities Empty Mind and Bedazzling Aura have been changed as follows:
  • They now co-exist and stack with all class-based secondary magic resistance abilities
  • They now co-exist and stack with all long-duration secondary magic resistance item /uses
  • They now overwrite or are overwritten by all short-duration secondary magic resistance item /uses and procs, based on the highest value.
    • Short-duration magic resistance item /uses and procs are defined as those lasting 30 seconds or less in duration and involve the following items' spells:
      • Loyalty Cloaks'"Repel Magic" /use (15s duration)
      • Astral and Hallowed Cloak of Heroes'"Shroud of Protection" /use (20s duration)
      • Freezing/Unyielding/Howling/Shrouded Brutalizer Vests'"Skin of the Brute" proc (7s duration)
• The following Cleric abilities in their Smiting specialialization should no longer disappear from their spell lists in certain scenarios. Please note that Clerics who currently do not have these abilities showing in their spell list may need to perform a respecialization to get them to reappear.
  • Virtuous, Heavenly, Rapturous, or Radiant Reflection
  • Helping, Healing, Light, Pure, or Holy Hand
  • Ascendance
• The Assassin ability Overshadow has been changed to no longer fire on targets that are already Overshadowed or are under the Blanket of Camouflage Spymaster's Master Level ability.
• Dark Ingolf's barrier in Midgard's Dragon Curse Campaign 9.1 encounter should no longer cause caster damage to go into the negative. This should alleviate aggro-control issues.
• The Champion Level damage add ability, Force of the Abyss is no longer overwritten and always overwrites other damage add abilities. Users wishing to receive a higher value damage add ability must manually shift+right-click remove the Force of Abyss ability now.
• The recently revamped weapons found in Stonehenge Barrows, Spindelhalla, and Coruscating Mines have had their spell power levels reduced from 42 to 39.
  • The Smoldering Sable Flagellum whip has had its DPS corrected to match the other weapons at 15.6 DPS.
• The Cape of the Pictish Hero can now be emblemized.

Update 5:50PM EDT / 10:50PM GMT: The maintenance is complete and the Account Center is once again back online!

We will bring down the Account Center for a security update at 5PM EDT / 10PM GMT today. During the maintenance users will not be able to change subscription, redeem game codes, or transfer characters from archived servers.

We anticipate the Account Center to be down for no longer than 3 hours.

Thank you for your understanding and patience as we deliver this security update.
 

Neither.

The Heal bonus% stat only affects heals or heal-over-times that print a heal value into the combat log. Health regens and HoTs such as a Mentalist’s Sanative Trance (value-based HoT) or a Shaman’s Restorative Mend (%-based HoT) or a Minstrel’s Song of Rejuvenation (value-based regen) that do not print heal values into the combat log are not affected by the heal bonus% stat. Value-based and percentage-based HoTs and regens always grant the same heal amounts regardless of the user’s heal bonus% stat. These regens are affected by the Mythical: Health Regen stat values of their targets, however.

Currently there are no HoTs that print heal values into the combat log. The old Paladin combat-heal chant was an example of one, but that has since been changed to an instant-heal.

There are a couple of options here:

1. Players with 0/1 charge ‘respec’ stones can visit the Realm Ability re-specialization NPCs in Camelot, Jordheim, or Tir na Nog and hand them the stone when prompted to initiate the ‘respec’ the old-fashioned way. Players must not have a Realm Respec already available for this option to work.
2. Players can obtain another Exeregum stone that has 1/1 charges (NOTE: Move the 0/1 charge Exeregum stone into your /bank prior to the 1/1 Exeregum stone entering your pack) and then stack the 0/1 stone onto the 1/1 stone. Both stones will now have 1/1 charges and can be used normally. Please be careful when performing this as the same process works in reverse and could easily result in both stones having 0/1 charges instead of the intended 1/1.

These options can be used with 0/1 charge versions of Abrogo, Exerpise, Iterare, and Ceriac respec stones too.

Itemization tries to account for the general abilities a class uses as well as the archetypes (healing, melee DPS, melee-hybrid, caster-hybrid, and caster DPS) it fufills. Each item-reward tries to offer the relevant variations that correspond to a given class’ abilities and archetypes. Itemization intentionally does not offer every class every item-variation option, especially on very powerful item-rewards, because itemization is a contributing factor to class balance.

In Midgard, the studded users are Savages, Berserkers, and Hunters while in Albion the only studded user is Scouts. None of these classes are healing-archetypes or have even rudimentary healing as part of their class abilities and so would not get the option for a healing-focused helm. In contrast, Bards in Hibernia wear reinforced armor (equivalent to studded) and are a healing-archetype.  This is why Hibernia is given a Curative Sunburst reinforced option and the other realms are not.

It can sometimes get a bit tricky however, like with the leather Curative Sunburst helm, which is available in all realms. Typically, Albion’s Friar is considered the only leather-based healing-archetype class and so you may wonder why the leather Curative Sunburst is available to Midgard and Hibernia. The answer in this case is that leather-using Maulers have some rudimentary class-based healing abilities in Aura Manipulation. The difference here is that Savages, Berserkers, Hunters, and Scouts simply have no class-based heals available to them and so there is no studded version of the helm.

Yes, it affects their resist rates.

From the September 14th, 2018 Grab Bag;

“The Mastery of Focus realm ability effectively raises a spell’s level by its listed amount (including style procs). Style procs have their resistances calculated based on the level of the style, so a level 39 style has a level 39 spell’s resist rate vs level X targets. The Mastery of Focus realm ability can raise that style’s spell level, depending on the amount of MoF trained, up to a maximum of a level 50 spell.

All spells have a base chance of 10% to be resisted, so a level 50 style proc will still get resisted at around that 10% rate, on average. However, a level 12 style proc with no Mastery of Focus will see around a 30-35% resist rate vs a level 50 target and a level 34 style proc without MoF would have a 15-20% resist rate, on average.”

Yes, this is something we’d like to add when we get the opportunity!

Read on for the questions :)
 

Shields can have a volatile (offensive-based) or reactive (defensive-based) proc applied.

Volatile procs can be triggered when the shield hits an enemy via a shield style and reactive procs can be triggered when the shield blocks an attack.

Please note that reactive shield procs can only fire when blocking against player and not monster-based attacks.

All health regens that don’t print the actual amount healed into the combat log each tick are not affected by heal% bonus items or mastery of healing.

It’s probably more of an oversight that AF buffs are affected by buff bonus% than AF debuffs not being affected by debuff bonus! We can see if we want to change that or add the ability for debuff bonus% to affect AF debuffs like other “stat” buffs. Though we’d almost certainly need to lower the existing AF debuff delves in either case. Please let us know your thoughts!

Bountycraft currently only includes the unique stat items that drop in the Mournful King’s lair. The Hallowed Greatsword is a copy of existing items in each realm and only has a different cosmetic look from those items.

Albion: Dragon Knight’s Flame two-handed sword that drops from Golestandt.
Midgard: Dragonfury two-handed sword that drops from Gjalpinulva.
Hibernia: Ghostly Great Falcata two-handed sword that drops from Cuulderach.

We can look into adding in more items to the Hallowed section in Bountycraft in the future but for now the items that are only different cosmetically are left out to help maintain their rarity.

Spell-based realm point, bounty point, experience, and/or coin bonus buffs will NOT stack with the same bonuses on another spell-based buff, but will stack with any different bonuses. Very importantly, in the case that 2 spell-based buffs that have the same bonus are applied only the bonus from the spell that was applied first will affect the character.

This means if a RR8+ character has the Buggane’s Folly buff granting 15% to RPs/BPs/Coin and then /uses the battlefield potion which grants 25% to RP gain, the character will still only have the +15% RP/BP/Coin bonus applied and the 25% RP bonus from battlefield potion will not affect them. If the character were to drop the Buggane’s Folly buff in this example, the battlefield potion’s 25% would then affect them.

However, if a RR2 character has the 25% RP buff from the battlefield potion applied first and then applies Buggane’s Folly +75% RP/BP/Coin buff, the character will now receive the 75% BPs and Coin bonus from Buggane’s Folly but will still only receive the 25% RPs bonus from the battlefield potion. The +75% RP bonus won’t be applied until the battlefield potion’s effect is removed.

“Spell-based” specifically refers to any bonus that is applied from a spell and that shows up in the buff icons at the top of the character’s screen; this includes buffs that are cast by items, monsters, or players. Realm point, Bounty Point, Experience, and Coin bonuses that come from other systems like guilds, item stats, dynamic population, outpost ownership, relic ownership, or from specific zones are separate and do stack with each other and with spell-based bonuses.

That's this week's edition!

Enjoy the weekend all :)
 

The Midsummer celebration event is upon us!

Midsummer and the traveling merchants will run from today, July 30th, 2019, until September 3rd, 2019.

Read on for the full event details!

Midsummer Event

• Guy in Albion's strength relic town (Catterick Hamlet)
• Garmr in Midgard's strength relic town (Godrborg)
• Salle in Hibernia's strength relic town (Criar Treflan)

• During Stage 1 of the event, level 50 characters will be offerred the [Midsummer] Dragon Eggs quest from Guy, Garmr, or Salle.
  • Each completion of this quest grants 1,000 realm points!
• The first realm to complete 150 of the [Midsummer] Dragon Eggs quests wins the first stage!
  • When one realm wins, the other 2 realms' progress is not lost and they can pick up where they left off after stage 2 is complete and the event has reset.
  • After a realm wins, no realms will be able to turn in the [Midsummer] Dragon Eggs quest again until the next stage is completed and the event has reset.
  • Players can speak with Guy, Garmr, or Salle in their relic towns to check the event's current [status].

• During Stage 2 of the event, level 50 characters will be offerred the [Midsummer] Spirit of War quest from Guy, Garmr, or Salle. A Dark Dragon will spawn and CAPTURE one of the following enemy realm keeps:
  • Albion is victorious: Nottmoor Faste, Blendrake Faste, Hlidskialf Faste, Dun Crimthainn, Dun Bolg, or Dun da Behnn
  • Midgard is victorious: Caer Berkstead, Caer Erasleigh, Caer Sursbrooke, Dun Crimthainn, Dun Bolg, or Dun da Behnn
  • Hibernia victorious: Caer Berkstead, Caer Erasleigh, Caer Sursbrooke, Nottmoor Faste, Blendrake Faste, or Hlidskialf Faste
  • The captured keep is chosen randomly.
    • However, a keep can only be captured if the winning realm does not already own it.
• Dark Dragons repeatedly destroy the outer walls of any keep they are flying over.
  • For the duration of this event, keep walls on all keeps will not provide realm points when repaired. Keep doors still provide realm points when repaired.
• Once a keep has been captured by the Dark Dragon, any realm can take it and defend it.
  • Once a realm has taken the keep, the keep behaves as normal and the Dark Dragon will not ever re-capture it; however the outer keep walls will still be repeatedly destroyed as long as the Dark Dragon is alive.
• The Spirit of War will spawn to battle the Dark Dragon at the keep.
  • Players that fight within the same zone that the Spirit of War is currently in will receive the "Spirit of War's Mark" - a 75% realm point buff that lasts 30 seconds and refreshes instantly so long as you remain in the same zone.
    • This buff does not stack with or overwrite Buggane's Folly or Lone Wolf buffs; however if either of those buffs are currently active they will need to be dropped for the Spirit of War's Mark buff to affect the character.
• Once a Dark Dragon has spawned and captured a keep, the [Midsummer] Spirit of War quest will become available from Guy, Garmr, and Salle.
  • This quest asks players to earn 25 enemy realm kills while they have the Spirit of War's Mark buff active.
    • Players can also receive the quest by heading to the keep that the Spirit of War is flying above (8,000 units). 
  • To receive quest kill credit, players will need to fight in the same zone that the Spirit of War is currently in.
  • Complete this quest to earn the Midsummer's Triumphant Wrap!
• After the Dark Dragon and Spirit of the War have battled over a keep for 45 minutes, the Spirit of War will summon Dragon Ballista siege weapons that can be used to kill the Dark Dragon.
  • These Dragon Ballista will do negligible damage to everything except the Dark Dragon - but beware, the Dark Dragon doesn't like their attention!
  • Killing the Dark Dragon will cause the inner keep to be destroyed and it's door to be opened!
  • Once the Dark Dragon is killed, the Spirit of War will only remain so long as there is still a battle being waged at the keep.
• If, after roughly 3 and a half hours, the Dark Dragon has not been killed, it will retreat from the battlefield.
  • Once the Dark Dragon has retreated, the Spirit of War will only remain so long as there is still a battle being waged at the keep.
  • If the Dark Dragon retreats, the inner keep and its door are not destroyed.
• Once the Spirit of War leaves a keep, the event resets and the [Midsummer] Dragon Eggs quest can be obtained and completed again.

Traveling Merchants

• The Traveling Merchants make their return and hawk their wares in the following locations:
  • Albion: just outside Castle Sauvage
  • Midgard: just outside Svasud Faste
  • Hibernia: just outside Drium Ligen

On to the questions :)
 

No. The bounty point cap is there to incentivize players to use their BPs. There are ways for players to spend their BPs crafting equipment, purchasing artifact or master level credit, buying alchemy ingredients, and many others that hold value to other players (can be sold/traded for platinum or other items) or would be valuable to an alternate character on the same account.

Further, the additional ways to earn BPs that are coming with the alternate currency consolidation are being put in place with the existing cap in mind. It will be much easier to earn LOTS of bounty points, but you’ll need to use them to make the most of it!

When using a bow, Archery Speed = Casting Speed and Archery Damage = Magic Damage.

They stack with each other and are essentially the same thing. In the provided example, having 2% archery speed and 5% casting speed would be the same as having 7% casting speed when using a bow.

Yes, it would help the heal amounts of the offensive heal procs and any casted heals. Wardens can frequently switch from melee to support roles and maintaining the Forest Protector buff, while sometimes difficult, can have a huge payoff when used in conjunction with casted heals.

We’re well aware of how far hardware technology has advanced in recent years and we love updating our rigs too! However, we have to make sure that hardware updates don’t provide players an unfair advantage in RvR.

Anything wider than a 4:3 aspect ratio is adjusted by the game’s engine to maintain the same horizontal-screen visibility to the left and right of the character. Allowing for wider resolutions to continually zoom out to maintain the same vertical-visibiity as lower aspect ratios would let players see much further to either side of the character and would give an unfair advantage in RvR.

For instance, an 800x600 (4:3) resolution game-screen can see just as far to the left and right of a character as a 2560x1440 (16:9) game window can, but the 800x600 actually has better vertical-visibility. At wider resolutions and aspect ratios than 4:3, the only way to maintain that same horizontal-visibility is to zoom in on the character, and at aspect ratios higher than 16:9 the amount of zoom can become too much and so we wouldn’t recommend those resolutions.

Total horizontal-visibility at 7680x1440 is identical to other resolutions but vertical-visibility has to be reduced to maintain that and to prevent any advantage in RvR. The best bet is to reduce the resolution down to a 16:9 aspect ratio or perhaps a slightly higher one that you are still comfortable with.

Yes, the /level command and its functionality is entirely disabled.

Enjoy the weekend everyone!
See you in the frontiers! :)

• The [Midsummer] Spirit of War quest now grants credit as follows:
  • Character must have the Spirit of War's Mark buff active OR
  • Character must be of the realm that currently owns the keep under attack by the Dark Dragon
    • This means that if the Dark Dragon is currently spawned at Dun Crimthainn, the realm that owns Dun Crimthainn will be able to get credit for the quest in any location of the Frontier, even if they do not have the Spirit of War's Mark buff active.
    • This method of credit will last as long as the Spirit of War is still at the keep. 
    • If the keep is neutral, no realms can get quest credit unless they have the Spirit of War's Mark buff active.

Read on for the questions :)
 

First we’ll be adding in a few more bells and whistles to the item search feature, like the ability to search for spell procs and uses, and then we’ll shift gears over to a template maker. We’ll have it ready as soon as possible!

Yep!

Gold Astral weapons no longer drop. Gold ones are the “old” version of the ML10 weapons that dropped prior to their upgrade many years ago. The only way to obtain one now is via other players who happen to have them!

Yes, though it is a fairly rare drop!

New race/class combinations are a distinct possibility after the launch of Endless Conquest. When we’re ready, we’ll absolutely offer a new poll of feasible options.

That's all for this week!

There's still plenty of time to get your Midsummer Wrap! The event lasts until September 3rd.
Enjoy the weekend, all :)

On to the questions :)

Doppelgangers spawn as follows in each individual zone:

Pennine Mountains, Jamtland Mountains, or Breifine: 2 can spawn at once out of 8 potential locations
Hadrian’s Wall, Odin’s Gate, Emain Macha: 2 can spawn at once out of 10 potential locations
Ellan Vannin: 3 can spawn at once out of 15 potential locations

Their spawn-rates are relatively fast so that there should almost always be at least 1 Doppelganger up in each zone.

An “ABS debuff” is short for “absorption% debuff” and targets an armor’s absorption%. Each armor type has a different absorption% with Cloth having 0%, Leather 10% , Studded/Reinforced 19%, Chain/Scale 27%, and Plate having 34%. Some classes, like list-casters, also have absorption% buffs they can use.

ABS debuffs remove either a flat amount of a character’s current absorption% or are a percentage decrease, depending on the way the delve shows on the debuff.

For instance a delve that says “Reduces the targets absorption (ABS) by 15%” means that the ABS debuff will remove a flat value of 15 from a 34% plate armor absorption, making the armor wearer have 19% (34 – 15 = 19) effective absorption for the debuff’s duration.

Conversely, a delve that states “Reduces the targets absorption (ABS) by -15%” (note the -negative symbol) will reduce a 34% plate armor absorption by 15%, making the armor wearer have ~29% effective absorption (34 * (1 – .15)) = ~29).

Generally, these differences in how ABS debuffs work is balanced by the duration of the debuff, with the weaker percentage decrease ABS debuffs lasting much longer than the flat-value ABS debuffs.

Armor Factor, or AF, debuffs, reduce a targets armor value. These are a bit more straightforward in that there is only 1 type of AF debuff that removes the flat value of the targets’ overall Armor Factor.

The general rule of thumb is that ABS debuffs are going to be more effective vs high-absorption% targets than AF debuffs since high-absorption% classes generally have a lot more AF to spare and because an ABS debuff can’t remove absorption% below 0%. A flat-value 15% ABS debuff is only going to remove 10% ABS from a Leather wearer.

Targets with lower overall AF means that an AF debuff is going to be more effective in increasing damage than ABS debuff would since the target is (more likely) to be losing a greater percentage of their AF than they would ABS.

We’re splitting hairs when it comes to cloth-wearing list-casters who have a relatively high 33% ABS buff but also have low overall AF. Both types of debuffs are going to be very effective against them.

Finally, melee (or magic if using legendary weapons) resist debuffs are generally good against all targets but to truly determine which debuff type is best for a particular case or even most cases will depend quite a bit on the actual delve of the debuffs as well as many other target-dependent factors. There is no right answer for all cases.

The ML10 tokens and house deeds are able to go into personal vaults already, just not house vaults, which is more than sufficient considering their value.

Unfortunately, the way mounts are awarded would need to be fundamentally changed to allow them into a personal or house vault. We can look into other ways to alleviate unused mounts clogging up an inventory though!

The Valkyrie Realm Rank 5 ability, Valhalla’s Blessing, does not stack with any arcane siphon stats from items.

Level 50 Minstrels can indeed charm up to a level 59 pet of a valid monster type. However, for a level 50 character, red con monsters actually range from levels 56-60 so it’s entirely possible that the red frost stallion is level 60 and therefore too high a level to be charmed.

FYI: To a level 50 character, grey con monsters are level 35 and lower, green 36-40, blue 41-45, yellow 46-50, orange 51-55, red 56-60, and purple are level 61+.

That's it for this week!
We're getting into an exciting time this coming month, can't wait!  

Our Saturday night giveaway streams have returned, so make sure you tune in to our official Twitch channel from approx. 10:30PM GMT / 5:30PM EST :)

Read on for the questions!

Cowering Bellow cannot be resisted.

However, Bonedancer pets are a bit unique when it comes to pet scares. Because the pets /assist each other by default, if the Cowering Bellow effect does not hit ALL of the pets at once, the remaining pets will not be scared and cause the commander pet to re-aggro immediately due to the sub-pet(s) that are still attacking. 

Pet-scaring all of a BD’s pets at once can admittedly be hard to accomplish when they are spread out, but this is an intended benefit of the Bonedancer class.

The CAoE (cone area of effect) roots in the Spectral Guard specialization (Disturbing Voices line of spells) have always and still do break on damage dealt.

All dual-wielded weapons have their mainhand and offhand weapon speeds averaged to determine their “true” weapon speed for total swing speed calculations. So a 4.4s mainhand and a 3.0s offhand will average to a 3.7s weapon speed for calculating the overall swing speed. However, this “haste” effect is ONLY applied to Celtic Dual and Dual Wield swings when both the mainhand and offhand swing. Left Axe gets this effect on all swings since the offhand always swings.

It does not matter which hand has the faster or slower weapon in terms of calculating swing speed as the two weapons’ speeds are simply averaged. However, it’s probably preferable to keep the slower weapon in the mainhand slot because weapon-style damage bonuses only affect the mainhand swing while offhand swings are unstyled; and if using CD/DW styles because their offhand doesn’t always swing.

Specializing in Left Axe directly raises offhand swing damage while specializing in Sword/Axe/Hammer directly raises mainhand swing damage (regardless of the weapon styles used). Left Axe differs from CD/DW in that specializing in CD/DW only raises the chance for the offhand to swing while their mainhand specialization is what raises damage of both their mainhand and offhand swings. On net, both LA and CD/DW should maximize their composite mainhand and offhand specializations to achieve max damage.

From a previous Producer’s Letter:

We will no longer be enforcing against multi-keybind software or hardware that allow for multiple actions per keystroke per character. An example would be setting up a 'macro' that allows your "w key" to cast both disease and a heal spell.

Please note that if this software/hardware is used to play unattended (anywhere) or to control multiple characters at once (in RvR zones on a subscribed account, or anywhere on a trial) it’s still a violation. 

Obviously, if this software/hardware is used to abuse some game mechanic or is used against the general spirit of the game (as determined on a case by case basis) it would also still be a violation.

The duration of health buffers should show on the delve of the item that procs it or has the /use attached. For instance, Midwinter’s Frozen Medal of Honor's Frozen Protection health buffer shows a duration of 10 minutes on its delve. However, a health buffer will dissipate immediately whenever its buffer value is used up, even if that is prior to the listed duration.

Continuing this example, Frozen Protection's health buffer will absorb 50% of all incoming melee damage until the health buffer value of 250 is reached. As soon as the health buffer has absorbed 250 damage, it will dissipate. So, an attacker would need to deal 500 outgoing damage to their target, hitting the target for 250 damage while the health buffer absorbed the other 250 in order to fully dissipate the health buffer.

On to the questions!

Sure thing!

Currently Dark Age of Camelot is a subscription-only game where accounts must subscribe monthly in order to access the game and its features. Endless Conquest will be a new account type that does not require a subscription to access Dark Age of Camelot and allows EC-enabled accounts to explore the realms, participate in our fabled RvR combat and generally play for free, albeit with some gameplay-restrictions like certain classes, buffs, and more.

With the launch of Endless Conquest, players will have a choice to play on an EC-enabled account (no subscription) or a Veteran (subscribed) account. Veteran accounts will have access to several rewards and events that EC accounts won't and generally have unrestricted access to all gameplay features, classes, and more. Our announcement earlier this week goes through those restrictions and privileges in detail.

We absolutely agree! Subscribed accounts will receive a choice of at least 1 Veteran Reward at each of the 11 planned cumulative subscription thresholds. The Veteran Reward can be redeemed once per account and some of them can be traded to other characters (though they won’t be usable by an EC account).

The full details of this system will have to wait until the Patch 1.126 notes but we can promise they’ll be coveted rewards and the longer you’ve subscribed, the more coveted they’ll become!

Additionally, subscriptions will get a bonus quest every month that gives a meaningful reward to every level 50 character on their account.

Yes! Users with active game accounts can post on our Official Forums. We currently are not planning on any forum-specific restrictions on EC-enabled accounts, but that could change if necessary.

No, Endless Conquest accounts are not permitted to multibox/macro-group in PvE or RvR. Further, one Endless Conquest account is able to be logged in per user at a time.

If that restriction is somehow circumvented, any EC accounts that are being operated with 3rd party multibox/macro-team programs will be actioned on a much shorter leash than for Veteran accounts. This can include the revocation of that account’s eligibility for Endless Conquest or simply termination of the account for even first or second offenses, depending on the severity.

The same can be said for any violations found on EC accounts.

Yes. /xp off and /rp off commands will not be usable and any returning EC account with them already enabled will have them disabled upon login.

Additionally, characters will no longer lose experience on PvE deaths and EC accounts will be prohibited from using the Realm Point Remover NPC. EC accounts will be able to visit the Mithril store and have the option of purchasing temporary buffs that cease XP/RP gain for their duration if they want to stick around a particular battleground a bit longer.

With the five chosen classes, EC accounts have access to their realm’s primary, secondary, and tertiary healing, primary buffing and crowd-control, and a maximum realm speed class, along with a ranged and melee DPS class.

As any experienced player knows, those aspects are extremely valuable to have in RvR groups. We want to encourage the ability for EC accounts to be invited to groups and to be able to add to the experience of their fellow players. By choosing classes that would be sought after in RvR, we aim to have EC accounts add value to the existing Veteran accounts who just need that 1 more support or crowd control class.

On the flip side, the chosen classes are not necessarily the greatest or most popular in PvE encounters, which limits their self-sufficiency there, and there are certainly some fun and awesome classes and races that EC accounts miss out on. As such, we’re quite happy with the balance struck. We do not have plans for expanding which ones are offered beyond the five and will not be rotating them with other classes.

Unfortunately we have to draw the line somewhere.

Only previously-subscribed, 180 day+ inactive accounts, in good-standing, or newly created accounts will be eligible as Endless Conquest accounts. Any account that is currently subscribed or was subscribed less than 180 days ago (starting from the launch day of EC), will not be eligible for EC. We feel very strongly that EC will be adding to the value of our current and future Veteran accounts but if a user wishes to or circumstances dictate that an account be deactivated, it will only become eligible for EC again after 180 days of inactivity.

Endless Conquest is about giving players an opportunity to try and play Dark Age of Camelot for free as first timers or to return and rediscover their love for their realm and characters, all while still able to contribute towards the end-game in a meaningful way. Without that ability to contribute, we don’t think Endless Conquest would be worth it. We strongly feel that the more players playing DAoC, the better the experience is. Veteran accounts will especially benefit with more people in the game RvRing, PvEing, and socializing, making the value of a subscription increase that much more!

Yes, if an account’s subscription lapses, it only activates Endless Conquest after 180 days of inactivity, regardless of the classes on it.

Once the 180 period has passed and it becomes an EC account, the Bonedancer will only be playable if it has 7+ days on their /played stat, is above level 15, and was created *before* the initial launch of EC. Otherwise, the account will only be able to play or create the EC-enabled classes.

Yes, any account that upgrades from EC to Veteran will have their applicable Champion Ability points restored (if the character has CLs completed) and will be able to spend above the 60 realm skill point threshold. Characters on upgraded accounts will also have any trained realm abilities automatically respecced to ensure they have the full availability of realm skill points.

This is also a good opportunity to clarify that accounts who upgrade from EC to Veteran will need to fully log out their game client before the Veteran (subscribed) status benefits will apply.

The timer starts when realm points are gained from an RvR kill, not logout. We have gone back and forth between 30 and 15 minutes quite a bit and it may be that something in between ends up being the sweet-spot, but we want to start out on the low-end and increase from there if it’s still not long enough; rather than the reverse.

Yes, some! We are mostly focusing on Endless Conquest with patch 1.126 but we have some impactful RvR and some much-requested class changes on the way too. No hints though!

Okay, fine.

For RvR, we’ll be performing some fairly-involved progression changes within the Battlegrounds to help give all players a chance to once again spend some quality RvR time there, as well as taking another look at Frontier daily rewards and RvR bonuses, along with spreading some Bounty Point love to non-RvR areas. Is the ‘Supplies for the Cause’ quest going back to fully repeatable!? /wink. For classes, we still feel a few are over-performing in certain areas and some need a little love too. Oh you wanted to know which ones? Not yet, friend!

Please join us in wishing a very special Happy Birthday to Dark Age of Camelot, today. Eighteen years of adventures, battles, friendships, and fun have meant the world to us and especially our players both past and present. Here's to many more!

Continue reading for this week's questions :)

The Doppelganger Heart Shard has a /use that applies a buff just like Buggane or the Battlefield potion. These buffs will not stack with each other. The first buff applied is the only one that will affect your character (until its removed or expires).

However, those bonus buffs do stack with RP bonuses from items like Snatchers or the Guerdon Mythirian (and Myth RP bonuses stack with normal-item RP bonuses too).

Additionally, with Endless Conquest we’ll be introducing some new RP, BP, and XP bonus buffs that will stack with items AND will stack with the existing RP/BP/XP buffs. More on those in the 1.126 notes!

Here are the requirements for Cup/Hammer/Tree notifications:
Small: 4-15 enemy realm players
Medium: 16-32 enemy realm players
Large: 33+ enemy realm players

If there are 3 Midgard players and 1 Hibernian near an Albion outpost, there won’t be a Hammer indicator since there aren’t 4+ Midgard players in the area. So it could be that in your example there were 3 of one realm and 2-3 of another. 

When a given realm has the majority of keeps they also get a natural delay on their indicators appearing, to give the attacking realms more time. In those cases, it could be that the indicator is delayed and you arrived before it could show.  Also, make sure to click the ‘update’ button on the /realmwar window to ensure you’re getting the latest indicators!

Realm battle ‘cross swords’ indicators show when the following number of deaths OR rezzes occur in a given area within the past 2.5 minutes:
Small: 24-35 deaths OR rezzes
Medium: 36-47 deaths OR rezzes
Large: 48+ deaths OR rezzes

You are correct, /who does not count /anon players. We’ll look into changing the total values to account for anonymous characters.

Line of sight (LOS) is checked from the casting character’s waist to its target’s waist. So character height affects LOS in both directions!

We’re still testing away and squashing any bugs we find! Right now, we have a few small issues we’re cleaning up, but no show-stoppers and still look good for a launch to our Pendragon test server soon!

Read on for the many, many, questions and answers :)

It will not be tradable but we can look at increasing the number of charges!

Yes they will have the same potential for in-stealth movement speed now with the level of Mastery of Stealth trained determining their in-stealth movement speed.

We are also looking into changing Mastery of Stealth into a realm ability for archers in 1.126 too.

“Pre-1.121” mechanics simply mean that the potential for composite-stealth speccing returns and that Mastery of Stealth will once again be what provides the +stealth and +in-stealth movement speed benefits to Assassins rather than Shadow Seek. Shadow Seek behaved slightly different than MoS in that it increased run-speed more and had slightly different stealth detection bonuses. The tooltip is accurate for Mastery of Stealth on both Pendragon and Live servers.

We will look into adding this option, yes!

No, Dragon Scale merchants will still sell their wares for dragon scales. ALL accounts with alternate currency stockpiled will still have that currency in their packs and can trade them freely while Veteran (subscribed) account players will still be able to convert or spend the alternate currencies at their stores!

The only change being made to dragon scales is that it will no longer drop or be given out as a reward. Additionally, there are already some dragon items that can be obtained from Doppelganger shards (which are bought with bounty points) and we will eventually add the rest of the dragon items to Bountycraft as well!

No, all Darkness Falls stores will remain as is. The emerald/sapphire/diamond/blood seal stores all still require those currencies to buy their items for sale. ALL accounts with alternate currency stockpiled will still have that currency in their packs and can trade them freely while Veteran (subscribed) account players will still be able to convert or spend the alternate currencies at their stores!

It’s also worth noting that all Darkness Falls’ weapons and armor that can be bought with blood seals are already available in Bountycraft.

The only change being made to these seal-currencies is that they will no longer drop or be given out as a reward. Additionally in 1.126, the [Darkness] quests from Mystemas will grant bounty point awards AND wherever the seals currently drop from monsters in Darkness Falls will now be replaced with bounty point drops instead.

From the 1.126 notes:

• All emerald, sapphire, diamond, and blood seals have been replaced with 1 bounty point, 10 bounty point, 100 bounty point, or 2,000 bounty points, respectively.
  • These bounty point amounts are auto-split like an item reward but upon auto-splitting simply award that character with the specified BP amounts (This means these particular BPs will follow all existing autosplit mechanics).

First, aurulite is not gone. ALL accounts with alternate currency stockpiled will still have that currency in their packs and can trade them freely while Veteran (subscribed) account players will still be able to convert or spend the alternate currencies at their stores!

The only change being made to aurulite is that it will no longer drop or be given out as a reward. Additionally, all of the Dragon’s Curse chapter and [Elite] quests will grant bounty point rewards instead of aurulite!

Second, we may allow a Battlefield potion to be sold for Bounty points in the future, but to start it will only be available via the existing aurulite store. Don’t forget that Veteran accounts will also receive a free Bound Buggane potion (which grants a bonus to RPs, BPs, and Coin) every month on every level 50 character after 1.126 launches!

Not entirely. Artifacts and scrolls are no longer sold via glass stores and can now only be purchased with bounty points at their existing stores.

Master level tokens, legendary weapon crafting components, and the Star of Destiny can still be purchased by Veteran (subscribed) accounts at the Atlantean glass merchant with any remaining Atlantean glass currency.

Again, ALL accounts with alternate currency stockpiled will still have that currency in their packs and can trade them freely while Veteran (subscribed) account players will still be able to convert or spend the alternate currencies at their stores.

Yes!

From the 1.126 notes:

• All artifact and Master Level encounters now grant the equivalent BPs to what their glass drops used to be (100, 200, 500, or 1,000 BPs).

Additionally, the TOA Bounty quests (old Atlantean glass quest chain) now grants bounty points too, totalling 116,500 BPs for fully completing the quest-chain plus the 3 new [Weekly] repeatable quests that grant 15,000 BPs each.

Yes! Veteran (subscribed) accounts will still be able to obtain and turn-in Full Master Level Credit Tokens from Doppelganger shards AND can still receive them as rewards from the Silver-bound, Gold-bound, and Platinum-bound chests.

Bounty point gain was dramatically increased in 1.126 coupled with the fact that the existing costs for Master Levels were already too inexpensive and easy to obtain for such important character progression. With the new bounty point gain increases, the new 450,000 bounty point price tag for ML10 is almost able to be obtained on a new character after they complete the TOA-Bounty quest chain, A Dragon’s Curse campaign, and the [Darkness] quests in Darkness Falls (not to mention the normal monster kills there); all things they are likely to be doing any way as they reach or hit level 50! The experience rewards from those quests (and the Otherworlds campaign) will also have them well on their way to reaching Champion Level 15!

With the new King’s armor set updates, new characters are able to enter RvR immediately after that (or before if they so choose) and can also work on earning additional bounty points through RvR and its own bounty point quests like Supplies for the Cause to improve their gear through Bountycraft and finish obtaining any Champion Levels.

Additionally, we are looking into lowering the *atlantean glass-based* Master Level token costs from their current proposed levels to make their prices more affordable for Veteran (subscribed) accounts.

House repossession processes will remain disabled with the launch of patch 1.126 and Endless Conquest.

We did mention in the Grab Bag on June 7th 2019 that the process would not be turned on again until the next server downtime but are going to hold off on re-enabling it with this version. We will be re-enabling it at a later date and will provide plenty of notice before we do!

Developer’s Note: This may mean that some users come back to the game and still have their house up, including as an Endless Conquest (free) account, but they will still only be able to access it and its vaults as a Veteran (subscribed) account.

Returning accounts that come back as an Endless Conquest account can play ALL classes/races as long as the character is level 15+, was created prior to the launch of Endless Conquest, and has 7+ days /played (which is true for quite a lot of characters!).

Otherwise, there are no plans to expand beyond the announced 5 classes and 3 races per realm allowed on Endless Conquest accounts.

Only stat-buff potions (Draught of Heroism, Supremacy, and individual stat-buff potions) are restricted from Endless Conquest (free) accounts. Items that provide single stat-buffs via /uses are not restricted while item /uses that provide multiple stat-buffs like the Pendragon’s Ring/Bracer and the Illustrious Bracer are restricted. Other potions like healing, regen, water breath, speed of the hunt, etc. are not restricted.

The only way to own or access a house will be through a Veteran (subscribed) account.

Current returning characters will receive the currently active Returning Player quest rewards from patch 1.22A. The new rewards will only be available post-1.126's launch.

Only the Exemplar accessories’ stats were updated (but still have no /uses). The Exemplar weapons were not updated (they are merely used for calculating the full King gear set’s stats) and their stats are still inferior to the Illustrious weapons. There are no incoming changes to Illustrious weapons.

We run a daily tally of all subscribed accounts. After an account reaches the required days-subscribed threshold to receive a Veteran Reward year, the account is made eligible. If the account is not subscribed or is active but an Endless Conquest (free) account, the daily tally will not include them.

Yes, each time they unlock a new threshold they will receive an additional choice that they can choose spend on the newly unlocked year’s rewards or any previous year’s!

Yes, this is coming shortly after the launch of Endless Conquest. Each account will display their achieved Veteran Reward year threshold! Additionally, players will be able to see which account has which characters on which server with this update!

Battleground bounty merchants now sell speed of the hunt gems directly (at much cheaper prices).

From the notes:

• Battleground Bounty Merchants now sell a Lesser Speed of the Hunt (1 charge) for 10 BPs and Improved Speed of the Hunts (20 charges) for 200 bps.

So is 1.126 going live next week?
 

We'll have another Pendragon version coming early next week that will address a lot of the feedback received. Assuming all goes well with that, we'll be going live shortly thereafter!

Lots to digest there, but tons of info!
Don't forget to check out Pendragon for the changes and send in your feedback :)

Enjoy the weekend, all!
