Alright, this looks like a feedback thread.

Things I like: (only been to 21st and Heart of Fire, T1)

- the very fact we got more skirmishes
- encounters have funny descriptions again! (the Rift didn't) "… so devoted to Saruman he wants to claim Moria for the White hand - all by himself". Priceless.
- Shadow from the Heart of the World! I was glad to see a familiar "face". (although see below)

Weird things/bugs etc.:

- the barricades are useless, I've seen Orcs passing freely under the pylons
- I've been warned to treat the banners carefully but they seem to last throughout all the waves sent upon a barricade/forge
- messages (next wave, sapper, lieutenant) sometimes don't seem to appear at all, encounter messages are fine
- something weird is going on with my Vitals, from time to time it seems as if I got debuffed but it lasts less than a second, making the whole buff bar jump up and down (happens to my soldier at the same time as well)
- the SHW spawns Darklings (just like his predecessor) but those darklings are only level 50 - at level 65 skirmish (/bugged that one).
