===================================
Dark Age of Camelot

December 21, 2006
===================================
NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES
- The /ignore command again works across servers on a cluster.
- The /ignore command will now filter out /yell.
- Fixed an issue where certain Hibernian Mauler trainers would direct players to visit the wrong trainer in Tir na Nog to start a quest.

- (Pendragon Only) The new taunt ability that was introduced as a style effect in 1.87b has been changed to now be an offensive proc that a pet will cast at the command of the pet owner. All pets that could use Enrage before will now offer command menu options to walk a pet owner through the steps on using the new ability.
Known issue: There is only a graphical effect when the pet uses the Enrage and no text feedback. This will be addressed in an upcoming version in this patch cycle.
AUTOTRAINING CHANGES
The current autotraining system has been revised. It will no longer punish players who spend points early in their careers.
- Characters will no longer auto train skills as they gain levels.
- When training a skill that would normally have autotrained, a player will not be charged points up to their character level’s maximum autotrained skill level. Example: An Armsman who has zero slash at level 50 will not be charged for their first 12 points. After 12, they will be charged points normally for that skill.
- If you have a higher skill than what would be awarded to you by autotraining at that level, the points that would have been awarded are refunded to your skill point pool. Example: If you have 40 slash, and you hit a level 48, you normally would have been autotrained to 12 slash. Since you have a higher slash than 12, those 12 points are refunded to your pool.
- The skill points will be consistent if you train through a trainer or use a respec.
