PvP Event - Mordred's Call to Breifine

Posted by Community | 2024 Nov 15 11:27 -0500 GMT
It's time to settle old scores, create new allegiances, and unleash the bloodshed as our PvP event goes live!

For this event there are no allies, no loyalties, only death and chaos!

Will you answer Mordred’s call, or will you cower in the safety of order? The choice is yours. Choose chaos. Choose betrayal. Choose Mordred.




Players can now teleport into Old Frontiers Breifine via the Emissary of Bloodshed NPC at their realm's relic town.


Event Quests

4 new quests have been added inside Old Breifine for this event. Speak with the Emain Macha Teleporter NPC to receive the first of these quests: [PvP in OF Breifine] Mordred's Call to Fury. This quest auto completes and players will receive the next quest in the series.

  • [PvP in OF Breifine] Mordred's Call to Fury - kill 15 enemies while grouped, or 5 enemies while solo - auto completes - awards 5,000 RPS and 2,000 BPS
  • [PvP in OF Breifine] Mordred's Call to Chaos - kill 30 enemies while grouped, or 10 enemies while solo - auto completes - awards 10,000 RPS and 5,000 BPS

Once [PvP in OF Breifine] Mordred's Call to Chaos has been completed once, players can obtain the quest Kinslayer from the Emain Macha Teleporter. This quest requires players to kill 1 same realm enemy player to receive the title: Kinslayer.


Mordred

Killing enemy players, including betraying your own realm, fuels Mordred's thirst for blood, drawing him to the battlefield. Those who do not reach his high standards for bloodshed will be empowered, those he deems unworthy will be punished, but all will revel in death. 

The following boons will be active within Mordred's radius:

  • Additional 50% Realm Point Bonus - note this buff stacks with any 50% OR 100% potion + a Battlefield OR Buggane potion. Battlefield + Buggane will not stack with each other, as is it in NF
  • Each single kill within Mordred's radius counts as two kills for quest credit
Mordred will initially spawn in the center of Old Breifine and make his way between all 4 keeps.


Breifine Bonuses

The following bonuses and buffs will be active throughout the zone of Old Breifine:

  • 50% Realm Point Bonus
  • 5% damage to all players below Realm Rank 8

Pendragon Patch 1.129

Posted by Community | 2024 Oct 31 20:51 -0400 GMT
Our Pendragon test server has been updated with Patch 1.129!

Highlights


  • PvP Improvements
  • Outpost Claiming Changes
  • Character Updates
  • Class Balance Updates

Please hop on Pendragon and check out the below changes. Let us know your thoughts and report any issues you may find in the 1.129 patch channels in our official DAoC Discord, thank you!

Important Note:
  • We highly suggest duplicating your game directory and using the duplicate copy as a Pendragon-only game directory *before* patching and testing on Pendragon.
    • ​This means duplicating the entire "Labyrinth" folder (usually found at C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Labyrinth) to another location and using that copied folder exclusively for Pendragon testing.
    • If you do not do this, you *will* experience issues when patching from Pendragon back to live.
      • To force the live client to fix these issues, you will need to delete the mft.myp in your game's directory and then run the camelot.exe patcher again.
For those interested in testing on Pendragon, follow the character copy process here!
