Dark Age of Camelot plans New Frontiers tweaks, player polling

DAOC

Broadsword Online continues its push to revitalize the veteran games it took over from EA earlier this year, including Dark Age of Camelot. The studio recently released yet another question-and-answer session with players, this time focusing on the new New Frontiers patch and ending with a soaring explanation of what makes the game so great after a dozen years. Some of the highlights:

  • There are plans to revamp PvE after the New Frontiers content is properly tweaked. First on the PvE list is the top 10% most rewarding and difficult encounters.

  • On the flipside, the devs agree there's too much PvE emphasis in the RvR Frontiers.

  • The team is still looking at incentives for keep, tower, and relic defense.

  • Shards will not be usable in housing zones.

  • Legendary weapon updates are still on the table.

Finally, there's a note that the game will ultimately benefit from in-game polling systems as opposed to relying on feedback from just the vocal minority of players. "You will be heard. Count on it," Broadsword promises.
