Nouveautés de la semaine

Par Mando le 9/1/2002 à 9:06:31 (#687983)

Infos venant du Camelot Herald, donc officielles :

Even though our developement team is being devastated by a nasty virus, we're planning on a big development week. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, we will be putting new versions up to Pendragon for testing. These versions will contain the features that we've been talking about for the last month or so.

This week on Pendragon, you're going to see mid to high level assassins climbing keep walls, basic shapeshifting, flaming weapons (and other effects too), Bounty Points that you can accrue based on your Realm Points and can then spend at special Bounty stores to purchase special items only available there, and some new abilities to spice up some melee classes that need them.

Of course added to this is the continual addition of new quests to the game, fixing problems in current quests, modifying and enhancing monster encounters and lots of other world/quest items. Also we'll continue our tweaking of the spell system and will continue to make changes there.

Our art department is working on getting some long-awaited new monster models, at least some of which should go into the game this week as well.

Keep your eyes on the Camelot Herald over the next couple of days, and I'll keep you all posted on exactly what's going into the game when the Pendragon release notes are posted tomorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Je n'ai pas le temps de traduire, mais cela va nous faire un excellent patch 1.41 :)


PS: le virus dont parle Sanya est la grippe, pas un virus informatique !

Traduction personnelle et donc imparfaite :)
[edit : merci pour les remarques]

----------------------------------------------------
Bien que notre équipe de développement est décimée par un méchant virus, nous prévoyons une grosse semaine de développement. Mardi, mercredi et jeudi, nous allons mettre en place de nouvelles versions à tester sur Pendragon. Ces versions contiendront les nouveautés dont nous vous parlons depuis environ un mois.

Cette semaine sur Pendragon, vous allez voir des assassins de moyen et haut niveaux grimper aux murs de forteresses, des changements de forme de base, des armes enflammées (et d'autres effets aussi), des points de primes que vous pouvez accroître à partir de vos points de royaume et dépenser dans des magasins dédiés pour acheter des items spéciaux disponibles nulle part ailleurs, et quelques nouvelles aptitudes pour ajouter un peu de piment à quelques classes de combat au corps à corps qui en ont besoin.

Bien sûr, en plus de cela, les ajouts continuels de nouvelles quêtes, les corrections de problème de quêtes, la modification et l'amélioration des placements des monstres, et de bien d'autres items seront toujours là. De plus, nous continuons à règler le système de sorts et à le modifier.

Notre département artistique travaille sur de nouveaux modèles de monstres attendus depuis longtemps, dont au moins quelques-uns devraient apparaître dans le jeu aussi.

Gardez un oeil sur le Camelot Herald dans les jours qui viennent, et je continuerai à vous informer sur ce qui va réellement sortir dans le jeu quand nous posterons les commentaires de version de Pendragon demain, mercredi ou jeudi.

Par Zaeron le 9/1/2002 à 13:14:15 (#688808)

Mince, passer de l'immobilisme de T4c à un jeu ou les développeurs font miroiter autant de choses, ça fait un sacré choc...

N'a plus qu'a espèrer que GOA ne passe pas trois plombes dans ses phases d'acquisition des mises a jour/traductions/installations/correction de bugs...

Parce que autant l'enthousiasme de Mythic fait plaisir à voir, autant je ne m'attend pas à voir un tel débordement de zèle et de compétence du coté de chez GOA...

Et voilà le résultat, qui devrait être patché lundi sur les serveurs US (ceci est pour l'instant la version du serveur de test) :

===================================
Dark Age of Camelot
Version 1.42 Test Release Notes
Friday, January 11, 2002
===================================

This is our second update to Pendragon this week - both this version and the last version (1.41) are going to be added to Monday's version and then all will be taken live (barring any major malfunctions) on Tuesday morning. On Monday expect to see more graphical weapon effects, plus more.

NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

- Weapon Effects are in the game now, so you'll see flaming swords, ice swords, etc. Please note that your current weapon *may* have an effect on it, as we chose to imbue many of the 43-and-higher weapons with effects. Please note that we are going to be adding these over the course of the afternoon - expect to see a list of our initial "effect weapons" (swords only currently) by 5:00 eastern - We'll post that on the Herald. We'll be adding more on Monday.
- Mercenaries get a new ability called "Dirty Tricks". This essentially throws a puff of dirt into their enemy's eyes (use while enemy is targeted). The effect lasts for 30 seconds and while the monster is under the ability's influence, they will miss you 25% more often and when they missed their fumble rate is 50% more often than their base fumble rate. This ability operates as a shout-type spell, so it has a chance to be resisted by higher-level players and monsters. You can use it once every half hour. In a related event, monsters now have a chance to fumble while this effect is on them (Monsters didn't fumble in previous versions at all).
- Blademasters get a new ability called "Triple Wield" where they summon a magical sword that adds damage to their attacks. This sword will enable you to do 50% more damage (i.e. via a Damage Add spell) for 30 seconds (assuming you hit your target, of course). This ability also can be used once every 30 minutes.
- A quick note about the Hero Spirit of the Hunt ability. Sorry about the confusion on this, but when you stag form "goes away" after 30 seconds, if your current hit points are more than your max hit points, then but current and max will be reset back to normal. Thus you cannot "carry over" hit points from a previous Spirit of the Hunt to a new one. The sentence is the previous release notes was misleading, and we apologize. The sentence should have read "...but he keeps any hit point gain from the ability in his current hits, UP TO HIS PRE-ABILITY MAXIMUM."
- A bunch of new monster skins have been added into the game, and a few new models. See the world notes for updates to the monster population.
- The Hero's shapshifting beast is now in the game - a stag-headed humanoid creature.
- You'll now see a spell effect and hear a sound when you shapeshift (both Hero and Berserker). They will also scale up in size to be larger than any other player model.
- We fixed a guild chat bug - now, when you quit a guild, you will no longer receive guild chat messages from it.
- A bug where following monsters got separated from their leader that caused them to warp erratically has been fixed.
- Monsters following leaders will no longer stop and face you when you interact with them.
- Guild Realm points will now be tracked much more effectively. Your Guild should no longer "lose" guild realm points randomly.
- When you are stealthed, and are attacked, you will now come out of hiding for everyone. Previously under certain circumstances, you'd be visible to some character in the area, but not others.
- You can no longer upgrade keep doors unless you have the proper amount of wood.
- Keep door material types (i.e. level of wood) will now be saved when a server reboots.
- Destroying a keep door will now reset it down to the lowest level of wood - you'll then have to upgrade it from there.
- Critical failures in weapon crafting will now cost less materials - you'll lose less when you fail.
- You can no longer cast instant-cast spells (i.e. shouts) when you are mesmerized.
- ALL "sleep" type spells (mesmerize, stun, root) now can be cast only once per minute per target. This should alleviate some player concerns about being "chain-stunned". You can still cast the spell as normal, however, it will have no effect on a player if he has had that same effect on him in the previous minute.
- Leaders of guard patrols can no longer be "directed" around by players.
- Bounty Points and Bounty Stores are now in. See the section on Bounty Points and Stores below.


BOUNTY POINTS AND STORES

Bounty points and stores have been added to Dark Age of Camelot. It works as follows: as you accrue Realm Points, you now accrue Bounty Points, which you can spend in special stores to get special magical items. Once you spend bounty points, they go away just like money does. There are three types: healing, stamina , and spell power healing. There are a few levels of these, please see the list below.

You can find the Bounty stores in each Realm's main city. See the World notes for the precise store locations.

You may have a maximum number of bounty items based on your realm rank - i.e. one per Realm Rang. To use a bounty item, the item must be your level or lower - otherwise the item will not work for you.

To use the item, place it somewhere in your inventory (they do not have to be equipped). Then left click on the item to make a short cut to the item on your hot bar. After this to use simply click on the hot-bar icon. At that point the items spell will be cast and it will disappear. One bounty item may be used every 3 minutes of real time - you can use it while fighting, but you'll have to exit out of combat mode and wait for your weapon timer to expire to do so (usually just a few seconds). Then click the item to "fire" its effect and re-enter combat.

Higher level objects have more healing power than lower level ones.

The cost is as follows:
level 20 - 100 bounty points
level 30 - 200 bounty points
level 40 - 300 bounty points
level 50 - 400 bounty points
