Thank you for leaving Bullroarer open during Monday and Tuesday! It's the last days of Summer Festival now so I'm grateful I can continue gathering tokens until it ends and can hop over to Bullroarer for testing as soon as the festival is over! Much appreciated!

Hope you have a great weekend too!

You're sorry? In fact for me and a wonderful news! This weekend I'm out of the house for work and I had already won for losing the beta, but now that I'll be extended until Tuesday night I'm happy to be able to test this new content again ... (hopefully That you have fixed the bugs with the new models for humans and have included the new models for the elves) what if and the good time you show us how the alliance system works are really curious to find out how to function, at the moment we know so Little of we saw things on the bulloarer until now.

It must be very hectic at SSG now, with only a few weeks to go. The devs are now working in the weekend I guess to get things done. I wish them a lot of strength. tc.

Unfortunately, they brought this on themselves. Nobody upon nobody expected a release date just a couple weeks from the announcement. Delaying the first BR after announcing the release date is not a good sign of things to come. The cycle continues.

That is so true. No one expected the expansion to be released on such short notice, and yet them seem to insist on rushing it, with so many things that still need attention... What a shame. At least make the 130 euros worth it.

SSG has said on many occasions that there would be a very short preorder period before release

dont buy into the nonsense, call it out instead of being a sheep

People weren't expecting the release any time soon purely off of what they had experienced on Bullroarer.

At the end of the day, I don't know anyone who is eager to actually get Mordor going as soon as possible. Most of those I have played this game with would much rather have SSG set up a long pre-order window and spend the time resolving a lot of the issues they have been introducing lately. The only ones pressuring them to go quickly are themselves.

Well this same has been going years already. Content is rushed out and then it takes month or 2 until it is actually somehow playable. If they are going to release mordor end of this month, we are going to see another unfinished release. Then they don't have time to fix anything because they are already hurry to push out instance cluster and raid. So maybe next summer we have somehow playable version of mordor out.

Threathening that Mordor will only be purchasable with U22 with LP now seems more like a benefit for players who do not want to endure a broken product.

Uhm.. Anyone who watched at least 1 of the last 3 Cordovan's thrusday streams before the launch date announcement , wasn't surprised at all tbh.
The time window was specified on many occasions as summer , even since the anniversary stream and repeated many times again and again.
Plus , it was mentioned a while ago by sev , that their plan is to throw the instance cluster on BR at the end of august ( not raid , rest of the instances )
It's gonna be quite busy till the end of the year for sure , but we knew all that already , claiming we didn't is just false QQ.
Lastly , it was mentioned by Cordovan a few times , that the time window to buy Mordor before launch would only last a couple of weeks. It turned out to be a bit more than that ; d
So , where's the surprise exactly ???

As for whether Mordor is rushed or not , my gut says rushed too , but that's all it is , a hunch.
The whole expansion is still on BR , we actually get a 4th build today. And who knows ? Maybe even a 5th ? ( although personally i think today's build is the last )
It's too early to say for sure till we see Mordor on live.

There's always one.

To SSG, a majority of Lotro gamers know that work can be tough. Thank you for all that you do for those of us who appreciate the game that, generally speaking, is working all the time for us to log onto. Lotro doesn't have bugs like too many other games do.

Well it hasn't been news that Mordor won't be purchasable with LP right off the bat, +Cord has been saying that a month or 2 ago on the stream (granted, wasn't written down)

Yup, it might be that I am not gonna pre-order even that basic edition because it's just don't give any value over buying lotro points later. It's summer after all, I have better things to do than play lotro.

So what time exactly does the bullroarer server open?

Not sure if trolling.

Everybody knows that there is no bugs in lotro except few trolls who are trying to proof that there is bugs. Example beorning is working as it should even that some people is trying to point out that there is lot of "bugs" what has been there since beorning release. But this ain't true at all. Thouse people who believe there is "bugs" are same people who are seeing unicorns.

Those are features!

Yeah, definitely trolling. We are in this part of the forum and testing the game, reporting and writing BECAUSE we appreciate it and want it to be better. But you go ahead and praise the mediocre results, half-finished products rolled out, etc. as much as you want.

Not sure if trolling.

All the bugs are only in Skumfil.

Bullroarer is now open.
