It's downtime season once more for EA Mythic's Dark Age of Camelot, and this time it could be serious. Well, not really, but the fact that the servers are expected to be down for quite a long time starting 6 AM EST on April 2 might mean that they're fixing something major. Check out the full article for all the details and see what it means to you.

The developers from NCsoft have found a bug in Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa patch 1.5 which is causing some problems with certain video cards.

Head's up, DAoC players! A hotfix has just been applied to Pendragon and it concerns the Friars' Staff style, Counter Evade. Check out the full article for more info.

We've got another hotfix from the World of Warcraft Forums that might make or break your day. Blizzard poster Nethaera posted an announcement concerning a change on the Shaman's Windfury Totem.

According to the poster, "Windfury Totem will no longer trigger for any 'yellow' attacks unless they are on next swing attacks, such as Heroic Strike and Cleave". Yellow attacks, or melee special attacks, include next-on-swing attacks and instant attacks. Basically, the hotfix eliminated the possibility for melee players to deal instant yellow attacks (Overpower and Backstab) when the Windfury Totem is in effect.

Well, the hotfix definitely hit warriors and rogues exactly where it hurts. We'll be keeping an eye out for more on this and other World of Warcraft news so stay tuned.

If you've been playing Dark Age of Camelot recently, you'll probably have noticed a few changes in the game. This is due to a hotfix that the developers from Mythic Entertainment rolled out. The hotfix addresses some of the more glaring issues that were in the game. It also makes inventory management a little bit easier.

Changes include a label on older Dragon loot, since the newer versions have revamped stats. The Warden armor has also been fixed up to be more appropriate for its class. If you received an earlier set, you can just chat with Lirazal to obtain the new set. Here are the other changes that were implemented:

• Dragon Slayer Weapons with the Perfectly Balanced proc will now debuff the proper damage type based on the damage type of the weapon.
• A number of errors with the bonuses on the dragon slayer weapons have been resolved.  This will fix issues where bonuses were listed as ‘None’ and apply retroactively.
• The damage value on the item, Leth-Bhreac Mace, has been adjusted so it is the proper level for its owner.  The value was set incorrectly which caused the item to con orange to a level 50 player.
• The Dragonbane Composite Bow now has the proper inventory icon.
• Dragonsworn Lutes have had their strength cap bonus changed to a more appropriate acuity cap bonus.
• Hibernian casters, blademasters, and heroes who were unable to receive the appropriate Dragonslayer armor can do so now.
• Midgard casters and seers who were unable to receive their Dragonslayer armor can do so now.
• Players of any class who have the appropriate faction level can now accept the quest “Dragonslayer” from Lirazal.  This quest is the prerequisite for the Dragonslayer class weapon quests. 
• The Maldahar the Glimmer Prince trophy quest can now be completed.

There you have it, the complete hot fix patch notes as of July 16. Be sure to keep checking back here for the latest updates on Dark Age of Camelot.

 

The Tier Two and Three vendors in the WoW Arena have been missing for some time now. Thankfully, the guys at Blizzard implemented a hotfix that should make them available again. Yes, that means you'll be able to purchase some more gear for your characters.

This announcement was made by Blizzard Poster/ Forum Moderator Vaneras on the WoW Europe Forums. It was said that the Arena Season 2 vendors will always be available via hotfix when the realm restarts. The operative word here is "always". It would really be great if these guys are consistently there so we don't have to go to all the trouble of saving up just to find the vendor is missing once again.

Players! Go forth and pick up some new gear. After slaving away in the Arena, you deserve it. Keep checking back here for the latest updates on World of Warcraft.

Blizzard poster Ommra has added a new hotfix to the list of latest hotfixes found on the official European World of Warcraft forums.

This particular hotfix makes it easier for WoW players to get a Mystic Dawnstone for themselves as a jewelcrafting recipe for the item can now be bought from vendors in Halaa. The Mystic Dawnstone recipe used to have an incredibly long respawn time, so this hotfix should be a welcome addition.

As for the Mystic Dawnstone itself, it's a rare quality gem that can be put into a yellow socket and gives a ten-point boost to a character's Resilience, raising a character's defense against critical hits.
