Minas Morgul Pre-Sale has Begun! Discussion thread

[Arnenna]

Well now... that's just totally going to trigger a certain demographic.

Yeah . . . . let's not go there, that's not why I asked.

You get them on all your characters. You can choose which one to use.

Ok, let's just assume one character. If I bought premium, I'd get "one" title, not two. A choice usually means, one or the other, not both. So the reality is, premium comes with one title and ultimate comes with two. Not two and three respectively.

You really do get all three.

My male Gondorian can be a Hero, a Heroine, or an Ablakhul. BRB, making lady dwarf a Heroine...

This sounds like PC fallout.. they took the female stout axe release as a chance to do this? *Sigh* Another drop in the ocean of inconsistency

My assumption is there's no check in place when the titles are granted. Much as there is no check in place on any of the cosmetics except for that one dwarf-only chest piece. I am new-ish around here so have no idea if other expansions granted gendered titles and if so, if they were handled differently.

[Levanas]

Any idea of product key / unlock code delivery progress? How many hours I need to wait for e-mail for the key, or need to wait for a day/days?

Already bought the Collector Edition, have my order no but nothing else. :-/

The code is sent in an email, but you should have had the code presented to you on the screen with the order number as well.

On the webpage, it is called Unlock Code. In the email, it is called Digital Rights.

Subject of the email is "Standing Stone Games [ssg] - Order Confirmation (Order #11111111111111)". I did not check to see when my email arrived, but I bet it was almost immediately. I found my email in the junk mail folder.

I've been here almost 8 years now and this is the first time Hero/Heroine are being treated as different titles. They always get assigned accordingly to your character's gender. So, now we're getting another addition to Tolkien Lore, courtesy of SSG artistic license.

You know, I just read what Cordovan said about re-thinking the Earring of the Dead City not stacking with the High Elf one, and I was happy, reconsidering the Ultimate pack. Now, I'm not so sure I wanna support this. Edit: by "this" I'm just referring to the game, so I hope the rest of the players refrain from any personal or social IRL assumptions, pls.

Well, all I have is this:

It looks different from mine. Did you go through the regular market? I bought off the page https://lotro.com/en/minasithil/

I do not know if there is a difference. Anyways, SSG says you can go through www.findmyorder.com to get the code.

I noticed my email has an 8 character password. I wonder if it is the password requested on the webpage.



Another page to look at is: https://store.standingstonegames.com...ssg/en_US/help
There is a link to get your unlock code on the page.

Bought from Lotro Market; https://lotro.com/en/minasithil/ is sent me to there (Lotro Market basket).

Still no e-mail, so no password either.

Tried to reset password from findmyorder.com but resetting mail not coming either.

It's why there will be new 120 Valars sold in THE STORE. *hint* *hint*

[LabadalofDorlomin]

To be honest I always kind of feel sad for those who purchased the ultimate versions and received basically a few extra cosmetic items... you see them running around resplendent in their new emperors clothes and then soon after they realise that they are as figuratively naked as that emporer.
The clothes are soon left long consigned to the many many wardrobe slots they have.

I wish they would continue to wear them because if I had paid $90 more than the base ... I would feel like I needed to wear them forever..

Could be worse, it's $190+ in Australian dollars (which is ridiculous). I'm still waiting to hear if the high elf earring and dead city earring XP bonuses both stack.

. Just checked the xp bonus doesn't stack which is a downer. The others seem to. The XPc should stack IMHO. Poor programing.., but maybe they SSG will fix the XP bonus.

We have been considering your feedback on the Minas Morgul XP accelerator item, the Earring of the Dead City, and while the item's XP boost does not currently stack with other XP boosts, we intend to make the earring stack with the Focusing Earring of the High Elves in the near future.

I'm not sure how this wasn't clear enough for the last 12 years, but the level cap in this game will increase every time an expansion pack is released, and occasionally with intermittent major updates.

[Thurinuor]

I love level raises, so I'm glad they make it happen.

[Arnenna]

Ohh, interesting

@ RedPanda

To go back a very old debate then, way back when . . . . Can we now please have "lord of the Wings" on female characters? It was a long debate, and honestly, Lady of the Wings just doesn't cut it at all for a chicken run deed to MT. I reiterate what I said back then. Queen Elizabeth is the Lord of Mann.

Me, too!! I would love it for every update.

Me! but you don't HAVE to get the most expensive one...

Dont worry, when u give your money you will get reply, but when u dont pay then there is not answer xD

The anonymous owner and the publisher Daybreak maybe, but the dev team- no way.

The dev team is busy with their heads down trying desperately to get the expansion content workable and out the door on time and trying not to think about the constant threat of layoffs.

Admittedly my comment was a bit crass, they do have my sympathies in that regard and I doubt they entirely knew what they were getting into with Daybreak after all. But that sympathy doesn't extend to their apparent decision to jettison any real efforts at testing and quality control before pushing releases out on to the live servers. They get away with it because of posts like I quoted before but even those players will get fed up of it eventually. It's not a cheap game after all unless you happen to be one of the lucky ones who bagged a lifetime account in the past.

Finally one that can use something attached to his/her neck. Well said. Nothing to add.
