LOTRO Events Schedule

Better decrease amount of Hobnanigans or revamp it. People don't care about it, but many players love Farmer's Faire

Or just completely remove Hobnanigans from the monthly events & make it a daily quest that is available all year long. While we are at it, revamp it the right way, make it instanced & scalable with a new solo version included. Also the devs really got wrong the cost of hobnanigans bartered rewards. It is so high & with the token acquition per hour so low, that most people don't care to try get the cheapest white chicken pet, less say the other more expensive rewards.

Hi there Flogdir! It's just an Excel sheet that I filled with Cord's info I converted it to PDF and after that, I took screenies with Snipping Tool to post here the JPG.'s (link to my Drive)

Thanks Laurelinarien!

Idk how they're gonna portray the wedding, and I may be remembering wrong, but.. didn't the wedding occur in June (near the end)?

yea, Midsummers Day - around July 1 in our calendar.

[Esgalad]

Just wanted to agree with those who said Farmer's Fair has the best quests/mini games, I wish the Fall Festival (and honestly every festival) managed to have mini-games that are somehow not only fun, but good for earning new items and LI items, as well as actually fit the theme of the event.

Fall Festival for example would be a lot more enjoyable to me if it was about the end of the farming season and we had some games where we compete among each other to do it, and once the produce is all done we could forage for nuts under trees in a way where you basically re-skin the mushroom hunt without the hallucinogens.

I really hope there's some new games and easier ways to upgrade our Legendary Items in the 13th anniversary event, the only things I still enjoy from that event is trying to get cosmetic pets from Cord and the GMs, and bashing people in Thorin's Hall.

There is plenty to do at Farmers' Faire and plenty to do at Harvestmath. Please DO NOT "merge" them. Running them one after the other, or with a couple of days (no more) overlap, I could accept (though I'd prefer some separation, like has been done for years now). I certainly don't understand how merging them improves support. That is so vague as to be meaningless. I also note, Cordovan, you DO NOT say they WON'T be merged. You don't give a date for the Farmers' Faire, when you already have dates for Harvestmath and for Yule. This tells me, based on previous experience, that you all are determined to go ahead and merge FF.

[Silmelin]

Please don't merge any festivals! There is already a big grind to get the steeds and other stuff for those of us with many characters, I can't grind two festivals at the same time, there just isn't enough hours in the day, especially with the high token prices and all the warsteed stuff that are priced like if every little piece was a complete steed, and also that all the clothes and stuff are bound-to-account nowadays so we have to get double if we have characters on more than one account, and very very expensive pets too.

I don't mind shorter festivals IF the prices are lowered a LOT so that we can still get all the items, even if we have many characters needing the steeds. I made all my many characters many years ago when we were still encouraged to make many characters, and all my main ones have collected steeds since I started playing and it would break my hard to not be able to have a complete collection.

There really isn't a need to have festivals going every day year-round. Now it feels more special when it's not a festival, since event-free days are so rare now. Maybe you could shorten the festivals this year if you need to fit in something else, and make sure to look over the token prices for that year and make everything a lot less expensive?

Anniversary tommorrow, any news? Discounts, gifts, servers goes off for prepearing event?

This!

Token prices are way too high with many festivals. The bound-to-account cosmetics have made me almost stop going after those completely. I have way less time to play and I rather spend my time on tokens for things more chars of mine and other players can enjoy, like housing items.


By the way:
Adding the housing items from Hobnanigans to the Buried Treasures event was nice. Hobnanigans is a pain in its actual form.

Seconding!! I'm eager to hear about this. I wonder if it's going to get delayed or there's gonna be downtime & a patch (tomorrow? thursday?)

[FolklegendRedux]

Time to get those Gollum masks!

Why not just postpone u26 till Tuesday next week so it doesn't interfere with last weekend to get the t2/t3 title for raid? Also would give people a few days to do Anniversary before the new Quest pack.

My anniversary wish is that you all stop rushing to release new content and take a pause to work on fixing our pre-existent game issues.

RIP to all players that were working hard on finishing t2/3 just to not be able to finish it right before the finish line as well. Nice job again ssg...

Amen!!!

[JoRDee]

Also, thought you guys hired an event manager or some sort like that months and months ago or were at least trying to do that which was said on Cord of the Rings. If you did hire someone it does not seem like they are doing their job well enough cause these dates aren't adding up right. For example: The raid coming out on a Wednesday and not a Thursday was bad. Progression title ending on a Sunday and not a Thursday. A major class change coming out 4 days before progression title ends. If you did not hire someone you should probably get one ASAP please because this is very frustrating.

You are absolutely correct. All titles should be delayed until hunters are fixed and can participate equally (or better, as they should be) in the DPS rankings for the raid.

At SSG, it's "late Spring" even before May hits.

"Our first update in the late Spring unveils a key theme for 2020: war between the dwarves and Orcs."

I expect I late spring we get first fix for mess what they create with u26

[Cordovan]

The Events schedule has been updated to match our current schedule. Quick note that the +10% Embers and Motes bonus listed earlier for this weekend is actually +25%.

[squirle]

It still does

[Mechrophilia]

Can we extend anniversary? There are lots of people online and I'm having a bast this anni. If not, that's ok, just consider it maybe.

Cheers

[Shadowvisitodir]

I vote for Anniversary Encore.

[Elmagor]

IMHO anniversary already too long to have any encore and don't mess with other events. Most of players what I know already done everything what they want with that event. The only one thing what needs more time is scavenger hunt, because if you have valared character, you need complete huge amount of epic quests to complete hunt

[Roxxy]

I and many truly love the Farmer's Faire. It's the one festival that feels and demonstrates a following of the Lord of the Rings Lore, more than any of the other festivals. This festival lets us feel that kindred spirit of friendship and fun with the hobbits of the Shire as they prepare for and enjoy and typical Shire party. The first time I played this festival I had such a great time participating in the hobbits' antics and Shire "life". Please keep it intact. LOTRO needs to protect the integrity of the homage to the books within the gameplay.
