Dark Age of Camelot
Test Version 1.101a Release Notes
General Changes
February 16, 2010

===================================

New Things and Bug Fixes

* Cure Nearsight and Purify Vision: These spells have been changed and will now additionally cure Silence from the target. As such, these spells have been renamed Cure Senses and Purify Senses.

* Certain zones are now flagged as Epic Zones. These zones now relocate anyone logged out for more than 30 minutes to a safe spot typically located at the start of the zone, except for the main Realm Dragon zones. The locations for these Epic Zones place you safely outside the Faction towns, near the bindstones. The following zones are now considered Epic Zones:
o Dartmoor
o Avalon City (and the Crystal Cave)
o Caer Sidi
o Malmohus
o Trollheim
o Tuscaran Glacier
o Sheeroe Hills
o Fomor
o Galladoria
o Sobekite Eternal
o Temple of Twilight
o Halls of Ma’ati
o Deep Volcanus
o City of Aerus

* Spells, including DoT’s, now properly trigger monster defensive procs in PvE. Many epic encounters have had their defensive procs rebalanced in terms of frequency and duration to compensate for this fix.
