Bullroarer Update 21 (#4) - Preview and Release Notes

[Mukor]

Dear Dev,

Please add some more base finesse for creeps, or incorporate it into the corruption system.

Ideally, with freeps explosion of stats in this update, creeps need a few more open slots for corruptions/skills/racial too.

Tx

if they incorporate it into the corruption system than creeps needs more corruption slot.
12 slots are already now to less

Will there be a build 5?
There is still much to do, I always fall somewhere through the ground

I see what you're getting at ('it's just Reputation!'), but I don't agree with that. One of the things I've been dissatisfied with about Reputations in the past is how story-agnostic they could feel. Yes, you're helping various factions with their problems and becoming more and more respected in their society, but there was no real progression in a story sense. They respected you more and more, and offered you more rewards, but there was no real sense of a continuing storyline for most of them. Allegiances do have you filling up a bar, and there are repeatable quests and rewards, but for me the significant addition is that each of them tells a continuing story. I think of my Allegiances like Bingo Boffin style quest arcs, but instead of funny hobbit shenanigans you get dwarf- or Gondor-themed problems and stories, and instead of them advancing weekly they advance as you gain AP.

I'm always trying to add more story to LOTRO rather than less, and Allegiances allow us to add Quite A Lot More Story, and in some surprising ways. I dig it.

And Dunlendings will keep on telling you that your kind is not welcome there, even when kindred.

Just a quick one. Is the test server still open? Cause it's saying to me that it's closed.

[DKenny]

No, it's typically only open on weekends. The timing shifts around a bit, but it doesn't open and stay open for extended periods.

Hi, personally I think the server should stay up or how can everything be tested thoroughly? It takes time to build your character, gear, weapons, crafting. As a web developer, I would never dream of closing a server until everything works as expected.

Testing a product thoroughly takes time.

lol.... tested thoroughly before release..... if this your first Lotro beta?

Heres a hint... Lotro uses Live as more of a beta than beta

Well thats true for any MMO cause not everyone does beta and once it hits live rest of the players might run into some bugs an such...

This is my 2nd one. First one was when Moria was coming out.
