Dawn of the Dragons Wiki/Patch Notes/2011

==Patch Notes: December 30, 2011==
Features
*Clockwork mounts:
**The Clockwork Horse's damage proc now gains a bonus if the Clockwork Crossbow is equipped.
**The Clockwork Dragon gains a similar bonus if the Clockwork Shield is equipped.
*Winter festival presents:
**These have now been removed from the Daily Rewards.
**However, they will be sold in the Bazaar for a further week. And each player who's logged into the game during December has been given one of each present.
**Please note that this will be the final opportunity to directly obtain the Clockwork ingredients as part of a celebratory event (though they will continue to appear as lucky drops from the regular Daily Rewards).
*Gifting:
**The rate of epic ingredients from gifting has been returned to normal.
**Players should also find themselves receiving fewer Wrestling Contest Invitations. **After the Dracoshire Screw Job incident, it appears that grappling events are much less popular in West Kruna.
**Four new Limited Items are available on the Home Page and in the Bazaar.
Bug Fixes
*The Clockwork armor set no longer incorrectly gives a bonus against demons.
*However, the Clockwork set does now benefit from the intended bonus if the Clockwork III legion is equipped.

Features
*Winter Festival:
**By a happy quirk of fate (or perhaps related to the way Tor'gyyl, the cradle of humanity, affected Earth), our Yuletide season is echoed within the game by the winter festival.
**Seven presents have been added to the Bazaar - White, Brown, Grey, Green, Blue, Purple, Orange. They may also be obtained from Daily Rewards for the next two weeks.
**The orange present provides players with the best ever chance to receive Machaon.
**Along with other items, these presents contain Clockwork ingredients - which may be used in recipes both old and new on the Craft Page.
*Improved Gifting:
**You can now accept gifts from within the game itself, via the 'View Gifts' button on the Home Page.
*The Hard difficulty loot drops for the Dragon's Lair have been tweaked.

Features
*Annus Gladiatoris:
**The Colosseum is now a year old. Let us take a moment to remember or mock the gladiators who've perished upon the sands, in accordance with our tastes.
**To celebrate the occasion, we've upgraded some of the reward items. These are as follows:
***The Survivor and Bloodlust buffs.
***Crowe's Band.
***Gladiators legion.
***Queen Lena.
***Carnifex.
***Scythed Chariot.

***Players will receive twice as many Colosseum Points from their victories in the arena.
***Colosseum Tickets are being sold at a discount. You receive 10 per Planet Coin.
*The Halloween content has been dragged from the Bazaar kicking and screaming, and cast back into the underworld. However, the Floating Skull managed to elude his pursuers - and remains available in Vornstaag.

Features
*Halloween:
**As those of you with access to a calendar may be aware, Halloween is just around the corner. And whilst in Tor'gyyl undead horrors and other such things are year-round occurrences, that doesn't mean we can't observe the holiday with some special features...
**13 masks may be purchased in the Bazaar, and used to add a sinister touch to your avatars.
**Two grab bags are also available there - the Pumpkin Bag and Skull Bag. Various treats may be found in each of them. Once you've purchased a bag, simply double-click it in your inventory to open it.
**Three seasonal familiars have been added as well. One is sold in the Bazaar, one found within a grab bag, and one obtained from the Quest bosses in Vornstaag.
**Players who have unlocked Zone 8 ("Together in Eclectic Dreams") may purchase our two Halloween costume contest winners in the Bazaar for the low, low price of 1g each. These Generals will remain in the Bazaar permanently, rather than vanishing next week when the rest of the Halloween content will no longer be sold.
*PvP Health Bar:
**Your PvP Health Bar is no longer invisible. It may be viewed on the PvP page.
**Health lost as a result of attacks you initiate in PvP will now be deducted from that bar, rather than your conventional Health Bar.

*Improved Guild Walls:
**New information now appears on an Guild's public wall.
**You can see when a member last logged on, as well as their Colosseum Rank.
*Underwear:
**In the interests of hygiene, and to better facilitate future clothing options, the avatars' underwear has been changed.
**You may not see these changes right away, due to the way images are cached.
Bug Fixes
*Fixed a bug which prevented half-elf Generals and Troops from being placed in certain Legion slots for which they should have been eligible.
*Tweaked images for Farzak's Tread and Vain Adventurer's Greaves were put into the game, which should fix the previous offset issues. Note that they might not appear for you until the images have propagated.

Features
*Darkness Within: Legacy of Kessov - Phase 3
**The path to Kessov Castle has been laid open, thanks to the heroic warriors who stormed the towers and forts.
*A single Castle Raid will be created -- unlike the multiple Tower and Fort Raids.
**However, players will be able to use their Stamina, Energy, and Honor bars on it.
**Simply select your choice via the three new buttons to the left of the attack buttons, and you'll see the attack buttons change color accordingly.
*Once again, you'll have a chance to receive ingredients from every attack you make - which can be used on the Craft page.
**However, this time more ingredients will be awarded at the end of the Raid as well - based on how much damage you caused.
*There will also be certain other loot items awarded at the end of the Raid - also based on the amount of damage you caused.
**These are displayed in the loot table so you can check them out. You'll see the required damage numbers listed on their tool-tips.
**Note that they're guaranteed drops. There's no probability involved - it's purely based on whether you caused enough damage.
**There are two special color-coded items (Dragon's Doom and Fragment of D'rach) on the table. In their case a player will only be awarded one of each item - the highest one you earned via your damage. You won't receive the lower versions.

**The three towers have been stormed and sacked, but the campaign is far from over.
**A trio of mighty fortresses still stand between King Jamus' loyal subjects and the gates of Castle Kessov.
**Three Fort Raids will become available. These represent the second phase of the struggle.
***As with the Tower Raids, there will be one Raid for each of the three resource bars - Energy, Stamina, Honor.
**Also like the Tower Raids, these special Raids have no health bars. They will instead last until the timers have expired.
**The same looting system applies as well. Unlike conventional Raids, no loot will be awarded at the end. Instead, each Raid has a chance to yield loot with every attack you make.
**This loot includes crafting ingredients which can be used to fashion the items of the Besieger set (see the Craft page for details).

**The ultimate target is Kessov Castle, but to reach that foreboding bastion you must first battle your way through their territory's other fortifications.
**At 1pm PST (8pm GMT) today, the three Tower Raids will become available. These represent the first phase of the campaign.
**These special Raids have no health bars. They will instead last until the timers have expired.
**Unlike conventional Raids, no loot will be awarded at the end. Instead, each Raid has a chance to yield loot with every attack you make.

**Along with various other items, you'll be able to obtain special Idols of the Devoted. These may be exchanged for Planet Coins via the Collect portion of the Craft page, and other rewards are in the works for the future.

==May 28, 2011==
A year has passed since the gates of time and space were hurled asunder, allowing many thousands of bold adventurers to step into the world of Tor'gyyl. The past twelve months have been more fun for us than we could have imagined, and we'd like to thank each and every one of our players, past and present, for taking part in the adventure and helping to make DotD what it is. Whether by contributing ideas, reporting bugs, participating in our vibrant community, or simply slaying kobolds in the fields near Burden's Rest, everyone's been part of the game's success. We hope you enjoy today's anniversary patch, and will continue to find pleasure in everything we have planned in the months ahead.
Features
*Anniversary Presents:
**To celebrate his birthday (which by a happy coincidence happens to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the game), the gnomish Grand Artificer is handing out presents.
**If you want to help your friends take part in the festivities, simply use the new button on the Home page. This will allow you to post a message on your friends' Facebook walls.
**The first ten people who click on its link will each receive a present.
**When the tenth person clicks your link, you'll receive one as well.
**Players may post a fresh link each day, and click on 10 links each day.
**There are six different colors of present: brown, gray, green, blue, purple, orange - each with their own loot tables.
**The same presents may also be purchased in the Bazaar.
**Presents will only be available until next week's patch, so be sure to spread the word.
*Clockwork Parts:
**The Anniversary Presents can contain clockwork parts. These are exactly the same as those which were available during the Winter Festival, so you can combine them with any you might have lying around.
**New recipes involving clockwork parts have been added to the Craft page - alongside the old recipes.
*Planet Coin Discount:
**You can now obtain bonus Planet Coins with each direct pay purchase.
**This will last until next week's patch.
*Familiars:
**If you head to the Inventory on your Profile page, you'll see that there's a new category in the pull-down menu: Familiar.
**You'll also see that there's a Fey Drake there. Feel free to equip your new Familiars, and watch them flap their merry wings beside your avatars.
**This first Familiar is merely designed to bring joy to you all (or annoyance to those who despise cuteness). But we have many plans for them down the line.
*Guild Raids:
**Four new Guild Raid bosses have been added to the game.
**As a special anniversary treat (and to satisfy our personal vanity), three of these bosses are comprised of people who work at 5th Planet Games.
**For the past year I'm sure many of you have yearned to punch Felendis in the face. Here's your chance! You can even spot the elusive Shaoquin, or do battle with their various minions.
**The fourth boss represents our 'Who Wants to Be a Boss?' contest winners. Those of you who read the forums may recall Angelus, Sidorian, Sigune, and Wlddog's winning entries in the poetry, posing / modeling, painting / drawing, and prose categories (respectively). Now you can see them in the game, and express your approval or displeasure at their inclusion through the medium of brutal violence.
*New loot items are available, ready to be beaten out of the aforementioned bosses.
*New recipes have been added to the Craft page.
*Over the past year we've released several Limited Items which mention players in their lore blurbs - to celebrate certain achievements in the game. These have all been improved, and you may find them in your Anniversary Presents.
*Four new Limited Items are available on the Home page and in the Bazaar.
*Rogar's Lament, one of our first Limited Items, has now been buffed and made into a permanent Bazaar item - for anyone who wants to wield it alongside Rogar's Memory, one of the new Limited Items.

**This time around we've introduced some changes to the way the New Item Pack works. When you obtain an item from that pack, it gets removed from the probability table - meaning that you won't get a duplicate of that item on subsequent attempts (unless you already have all the items in the pack). This will make it much easier to get that last item you need to complete an armor set etc.
**Please note that this only applies to the New Item Pack, not the other two packs.
**The Gauntlets of Arcane Power have been improved, as a courtesy for anyone who wants to wear them with the Panoply of Crystalline Power.

**The vast majority of players who previously fell into DR (Diminishing Returns) - meaning that crafting and collection items dropped less frequently - should no longer be affected by it.
**Instead, players will see the cost of each attribute change in accordance with their current levels within them. For example, if you have exceptionally high Stamina for your level, it will cost you far more than the base 2 stat points to purchase an additional point of Stamina.
**You can read more about this change here.
*Quest Page Story Buttons:
**An Intro button now appears on Quest boss panels once you've unlocked them. Pressing this brings up the story text associated with that boss (as an alternative to double-clicking on the panel itself).

**The Leprechaun's Treasure Pot can be purchased in the Bazaar. Each one contains a valuable prize.
**The drop rates of all legendary item ingredients have been improved, making it easier to get your hands on the most sought after treasures. We've also increased the likelihood of obtaining Tier 1 items via Expeditions, and increased the drop rate of certain other hard to get items that people have been hunting for.
**Both features will remain until next week's build - so make use of them while you can.
*Limited Items:
**Four new Limited Items have been added to the game.
**One is a special premium General, whose powers include the ability to summon any non-unique Troop in the game.
*Tabs have been added to the Raid page, allowing you to select specific sizes from among the Raids you can summon for easier navigation.
*More scrollbars have been added to the game.
Bug Fixes
*Officers should now be able to properly accept applicants to their Guild, if the Leader has granted them such powers.
*Scrollbars should no longer reset when a page is resized.

**New Quests, dangerous enemies, and sparkling loot await you.
**New items will appear in the Bazaar once you've unlocked the Zone.
**Recipes have been added to the Craft page, allowing you to make use of ingredients found during your underground odyssey.

*Fixed a typo on the proc text for Noblesse Oblige.
*Solved a bug which sometimes caused people to become disconnected after looting Tainted Erebus.
*Corrected an issue which caused quantity drop-downs to incorrectly appear in places such as the Quest Requirement and Quest Boss page purchase windows.
*Fixed an issue which caused people to only receive one item from purchases which should have included multiples.
*Eliminated an error which prevented some players from unlocking Ryndor after defeating the Dragon's Camp in Fallows.

Features
* Flamedart Scrolls may now be purchased during Quest boss fights, for those who desire a little emergency help. It doesn't matter if you don't have a Pouch slot free - buying one activates it immediately, inflicting damage on the boss.
*A player's Guild flag now appears on their Public Profile. Clicking this takes you to their Guild's Public Wall.
*Rallying Cry Links:
**Due to Facebook errors or technical issues, players have sometimes been unable to activate their Rallying Cry pop-ups. To limit the inconvenience this might cause, we've come up with a separate way to obtain the link to a Raid.
**To copy a Raid's link to your clipboard, simply hold down the shift key and left-click the Rallying Cry button. A pop-up will appear confirming that it's worked.
**The link may then be pasted on your Facebook page, or in the relevant part of our forum - wherever you usually seek help for your Raids.
Bug Fixes
* Some of the Red Prince set pieces have been improved, to give them the stats we intended for them.

**The Mystery Pack contains a mixture of the two, along with the chance to win Planet Coins.

**Each player is designated with a rank: Member, Soldier, or Officer.

Bug Fixes
*Gurgun's stat bonuses are now applied correctly when Raid damage is calculated.
*Certain items can no longer be sold, for example unique crafted items (which you wouldn't be able to replace) and Expedition items (since those cost PCs).

Features
*Braugord & Kyrose:
**Every player who has logged into the game within the last month, regardless of level or Quest progress, should find two new Generals on their Legion page: Braugord and Kyrose. Think of them as a small token of our appreciation for our playerbase.
**Braugord and Kyrose may be new to Tor'gyyl, but those of you who read the forums (and if you don't, I suppose you won't be seeing this message anyway...) will recognize them as two of our players. They're the winners of our "Who Wants to Be a General?" contest, and were made into Generals after impressing the judges and community alike with their entry pictures. Thank you once again to everyone who was involved in the contest. It was a fun experience for both the players and the developers.
**Note: The two Generals have also been placed in the Bazaar. This is for the benefit of anyone who joins the game later on, and for inactive players who start playing again. This ensures that everyone - past, present, and future players - will eventually see them and get to make use of them. They will become available there once Bludheim is unlocked (whereas, as stated above, all current players who have been active during the last month have received them - no matter where they're up to in the game - as an expression of our gratitude).

Features
*New Guild Raids:
**Four new Guild Raids have been added to the game: Tithrasia, the Black Moon Pack, Varlachleth, and Euphronios.

**Various new loot items are available from these bosses.
*Conquest has been taken offline, while we rework it to provide a better playing experience.
*The top three Colosseum rewards (Carnifex, the Scythed War Chariot, and the Golden Wreath) have been improved.

Features
*Conquest:
**A beta version of Conquest, our Guild Vs. Guild combat system, can be accessed from the War Room in the Guild Hall.
**From there you can attack one of three different target locations: Kurgan Tower, Fort Fierra, or Coldwater Castle. The first two are available in multiple instances, enabling many Guilds to wade into the action, engage in glorious combat, and seize territory. There's only one castle, however. So, expect chaos and carnage.
**Seizing and holding one of those territories will grant you loot, and you'll receive more loot the longer you hold it. But beware - for other Guilds are sure to challenge you, and attempt to supplant you.
**When you access Conquest, a '?' button will appear above the map. Clicking on this brings up the Conquest Help window, which explains the basics of the system. It would be a good idea to give this a quick read-through, since most of your initial questions should hopefully be answered there.
***You can also read this text in the tutorial section of the forum: Conquest (GvG) Help Text.
**A feature like this requires the kind of mass testing which can't be achieved internally, so our community's involvement in the process will prove invaluable. Have fun, and let us know via the forums about any bugs or issues you encounter.
**Conquest has its own music, so those of you who usually play with the sound off may wish to check it out.
**New Crafting and Collection recipes have been added, which make use of ingredients acquired through Conquest.
