There is a pretty obviously exclusion of Albion in all of this, and I hope that while Mythic is keen on handing out the Friar Heal proc buff to everyone, that they consider giving other similar abilities to Albion to compensate and keep things fair. (Valk DD proc-buff comes to mind. Heretic, Friar, or Paladin will take that one gladly I presume!)



The tic should get a DD buff, in exchange for the buff strip proc spell.

Friars could do with help. First of all they lost the ability to evade arrows and more recently their evade was effectively nerfed against dual wielders.

Players can now /quit while mounted.



Finally! I'm reactivating immediately.

I have to say I am pretty impressed by the scope of this patch. It looks like they are making a serious effort to modernize DAOC. F2P inc?

OTOH the class changes don't seem all that substantial but they would require me to respec a huge number of my toons if I came back.

I think the Enchanter changes look pretty well thought out. The Root doesn't come for free as it's in the most unpopular line, so even as a subspec you'll have to make some tough decisions.

Overall a really promising patch, great news. Two things I'd like to see added:

1) A realm buffs NPC added inside the CK in the BGs. After all, what's a CK humper to do when their timed buffs expire or are lost? Leave the CK? Nevah!

2) Some kind of way to transfer gold between alts. A full mail system is out of the question at this stage of the game, but perhaps they could add some tokens you buy for gold, put in your house vault and then can redeem on a different character for the same value.

Some nitpicking:

Somehow it feels the friar has the short end of the stick now, compared to valkyries and wardens... small nerf to the heal proc (from 125 down to 100) and still quite a large discrepancy between the
defensive abilities of valks/wardens vs friars. Maybe they could use a bump to their evade rate making it equal to that of assassins.. ie Evade 7 (doesn't help them against archers though)

As for the distribution of the heal proc.. seems that Midgard has the best class chosen for it.. people with a buffbot will always at least have either a cleric, a druid or a shaman.. so that means you'll get quite a lot more people in midgard using the heal proc... ofcourse on the other hand.. the 'solo' oriented peeps usually don't leave a borderkeep without the full set of capped buffs, so more than likely all alb/hib/mid stealthers and visi solo's will have the buff anyway.

UI improvements are always a bonus, and the ESC for game menu. Only took 10 years haha.

The bard nerf kinda pisses me off since I duo with a hero on mine. I guess I should just play my warden now.

wind, what on earth are you talking about. This doesn't make wardens a utility powerhouse, sorry, not until they get their spec points adjusted.

And no I don't think the nerf to Bards is reasonable. How can you say they play so many roles? Once they hit a group all they do is spam AoEmez and run around hitting insta's to try and interrupt.

1) Yeah there should probably at least be hookpoint options in all towers and keeps, including BG's to get a buff npc. Keep in mind potions have become a lot more convenient to use, either by increased charges, or at higher levels, one potion for all your stat buffs.

Very impressive patch notes. Nice work, Mythic!

The only thing that dissapoints me a little is the "heal proc buff". I don't think players should be able to get this buff from an out of group *bot* (for 20mins), but instead of removing this from friars they gave it to mid/hib as well. Imho, the effect should drop immediately if the friar/bard/shaman disbands the group.
