So What Now? (Beta)

OK, so I have patched my Bullroarer client and I have transferred all my characters but the Bullroarer server is still down.

When is it going to be open. What's the point of allowing us to patch and transfer characters if we can't go on?

I say again...

"What's the point of allowing us to patch and transfer characters NOW if we can't go on?"

It's like dangling food before a hungry man and then saying you can't eat until later in the week.

Well the reason to let us transfer already is due to one server, Landroval, getting work done later this week. So their transfer will not work then and they need to transfer before Wednesday of want their characters moved over to BR.

NOTE: LANDROVAL PLAYERS - We are expecting to do some server maintenance this week that will prevent future transfers to Bullroarer during the Minas Morgul preview cycle. If you intend to bring your Landroval character to Bullroarer to preview Minas Morgul, please copy your character over prior to Wednesday, October 16th. Thank you.

Patience my dear !!! :)

I'm very patient on waiting, but i do wonder why beta starts now and not early since we close to expansion release you'd think beta start a month ago... but is what it is, and will test it soon.

Well with this late of a Beta I'd say there is a good chance the release will be pushed back a bit into November. They probably knew this and wanted to start taking preorders asap and hence the Oct 29th release date was never meant to be set in stone. Unless Minas Morgal is already polished w few to no bugs ./sarcasm off

Note from Cordowan about Landroval server will have maintance in October 16th and players from it need to copy characters right now looks like Bullroar can be open somewhere between 15th and 16th.

What now is this, I guess - https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthr...44#post7964944

Wondering what "premade imbued legendary items" are and how you get them? (And will they be any good?)

Also RK updates.

From what I understand "premade imbued LI's" comes with the new Valar Packs. I think it was said in a stream that they will be 2nd age and premade imbued, simply to help Valared characters to start playing and not be stopped by having no LI at all, or an LI with very low dps and such, but rather having decent stats so You can play and if wanting to use it until You have imbued and maxed another. Potentially being able to be used for good if not a min/maxer or planning on doing T2 and harder content.

I'm just curious if the Carry-all bags and premade imbued LI's will be availabe for all to test or just the ones having bought expansion versions that they are inluded in ??? The more that can test something the bigger the chance is to catch any bugs.

Both items (actually, all 4 - there are 2nd and 3rd Age LIs and two Carry-all bags) will be available in the E&G Tavern to all players when Bullroarer opens.

the black book has not been previewed on br and instances are often added later to expansions....so...all we are testing is reworked Mordor landscape and interior of minus morgul so a few days of br is more than enough as all 2nd age area is not previewed anyway...just a continuation of the high elf opener...imo

Yeah....

Not to mention 10 levels worth of quests and deeds.
Guild Crafting updates.
RK changes.
New 3man instances.

But nah, your assessment pretty much nailed it :)

In case you're out of the loop, it's not a "reworked" version of Mordor, but a whole new zone that's set in the second age with its own deeds and quests.

Since Mt Doom had not erupted yet at the end of the Second Age, it's got to be at least partially "reworked." It won't look identical to the present-day Mordor.

Not exactly what that reply was about. OC I was replying to thought that Minas Morgul was revamping existing mordor, not creating anything new.
