Time to dive into another Grab Bag! <\/p>\n

Heavy Tanks are up next in our 1v1 tournament this Sunday (Nov, 12th). Congrats to Axv (1st place) and Waltr (2nd place) for advancing through Light Tanks! Wondering what this is all about? Our tournament page<\/a> has all the details, and you can sign up here<\/a> for the remaining Heavy Tanks and Archers archetypes. Getting ever closer to that overall final!!<\/p>\n

If you have any game related questions for our DAoC Devs, please send them in through our Grab Bag submission form<\/a>. Please note this is for game questions, feedback should be sent in through our feedback form<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n

\nClicky clicky on the more link for this weeks questions \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n


\nWhat does the proc on the Enchanter Aurulite (Shrouded enchanted) do exactly? It states that “your pet gains new abilities”, but there is no information as to what exactly it does. Thank you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Each of the following abilities are unlocked on the respective underhill servant for 30s when this proc goes off:<\/p>\n

\t\tUnderhill Stalker and Compatriot: Gains a snare style.
\n\t\tUnderhill Ally \u2013 Gains a defensive snare-proc.
\n\t\tUnderhil Companion \u2013 Gains a cold damage snare\/nuke.
\n\t\tUnderhill Zealot – No effect.<\/p>\n

\t\tWe\u2019ll update the delve on this robe to clearly show these effects, thanks!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nWill there ever be a time that you will add a DAoC message box (mailbox) or some type of box to leave short messages or trades to other players?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s still on our list! We have many other things that we\u2019re working towards right now (more on that in a coming Producer\u2019s Letter!) \u2013 but after those things? This is right near the top.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nWhy does the Spear follow-up style to Tracking Spear not exist? And if it’s never going to exist why not remove that it has a follow-up?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Poof! (Wyvern\u2019s Talon now follows up Hawk\u2019s Talon and Tracking Spear\u2019s delve has been updated to reflect that, thanks!).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nI was wondering if you could bring back assassin missions? They were a great thing to do when action slowed down or guild wasn\u2019t online.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

There are no plans to bring back assassin missions. We do, however, have some other RvR quests in the works that will similarly give players something to do while they wait around for their friends to log on.  Additionally \u2013 Doppelgangers are always available and also provide realm point bonuses for defeating them!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nWhy aren’t there anti-camping mechanics up in the new ruined areas?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

This is something we want to wait on until we’ve had time to observe behavior in the areas for a few weeks (at least). Depending on how things go, we’d rather not add in hardcore anti-camping mechanics if they aren’t absolutely necessary because RvR should remain as unfettered as possible.<\/p>\n

\t\tWe are looking at several options though:<\/p>\n
