Nibble away: --Sanya ====================================== Dark Age of Camelot Version 1.52C Test Release Notes Friday, July 19, 2002 ====================================== Version 1.52C is a small bug-fixing version. Be prepared for a major version next week on Pendragon that addresses many RvR and melee issues. NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES - There was a bug that allowed characters in some situations to execute side positional combat styles while in front of their enemy. This has been fixed. - Buying gear from a Darkness Falls merchant should no longer say "You just bought a nothing". It will now tell you what you just purchased. - Health loss on zoning due to item and spell hit point buffs should no longer occur. - Concentration points should be fully restored after your rez sickness is removed. - There was a bug where 5th level spellcasters would not get their appropriate 5th level spells if they trained first at their base class trainer before joining their new guild. This has been fixed. - Control and use of siege equipment while dead should no longer be possible. WORLD NOTES - Broadcast messages now work at all Frontier Keeps and Relic Keeps. This includes the three center Battleground Keeps. - Hastener NPCs at the frontier and border keeps should now work correctly. This fixes a Pendragon-only bug. - More guards have been hired inside Tir Na Nog and Jordheim, so now it should be easier to get directions in those areas. MONSTERS General: Selected monsters throughout the realms have been given the ability to use combat styles while in battle. We are just starting to integrate this into existing monster encounters to add to the variety and spice of melee combat. More will be added as this version progresses.
