Dark Age of Camelot
Version 1.97 Release Notes
Let's Make Music Together
March 11, 2009
===================================
The Camelot Team welcomes you to version 1.97! In this version we evaluated music and chant classes in all three realms, with a particular focus on how to alleviate some of the frustrations with the spell "twisting" dynamic of these classes. This patch also addressed ongoing issues with the 700 level tradeskill quests and increased the bonuses for crafting in the capital cities.
As was mentioned previously, today's patch version is the first one we have had since moving Dark Age of Camelot over to our new hardware and that it would give us an idea of how long our new downtimes will be. It was also stated that if we saw a significant improvement in our downtime, that we would start increasing the frequency of our patches. Today, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the downtime was even faster than we had hoped, and as a result, you will start seeing a steadier pace of updates.

- Fixed a bug preventing Minstrels from being able to re-apply their pulsing charm to a pet they currently controlled.
- New Bug
With 1.97, we introduced the ability for certain classes to maintain an additional chant or song. However, while implementing this, we inadvertently introduced a bug that affects the Minstrel pulsing charm spell, preventing Minstrels from being able to cancel their charm and immediately re-charm their pet until the original charm fades. We are aware of this bug, and appreciate all the feedback that we received that helped us to track down the cause.
We decided to go ahead with the version as planned, rather than holding it off until the bug was fixed and tested. We are working on the fix , which will allow this spell to work as it did previously, and we plan to deliver it with a version 1.97a, which is currently being targeted for next Wednesday, March 18th. Please keep an eye on the Herald for more updates.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
