Missing dialogue lines in instances

[cdq1958]

The problem apparently affects animals as well: I'm not getting the "<Critter> threatens to attack" warning anymore. I've just tested this on all of my characters; not a single one gets the message/warning.

I will try to look for this. I do remember that animals that give a warning still turn to face you and I want to say that the emote animation associated with the warning still plays.

This has now happened to me as well, on my Minstrel. In Volume III, Book 1: Oath of the Rangers "Instance: Messages from Lórien".

It started a bit odd with Elladan just walking off without asking me to follow him, and it seems like the name of the player is used a lot in the Hall of Fire in that instance because it was very confusing with lots of missing text.

I'm going to send a bug report now and after that I will exit the instance without completing it, in the hopes of it restarting so I can try it again after it has been fixed.

I've been waiting two years to finally get to start this part of the Epic since I started over on a different server right at the end of Mirkwood.

Please please please fix this as soon as possible because I'm now stuck here and can't move forward at all. LOTRO is a wonderful interactive book that I'm reading, and skipping ahead will destroy my fun. Going into Enedwaith without gathering the Grey Company first? Nope!

Please?

Yikes. I have not run those in some time, and since the drama is such an important part of that instance, it will not feel right without all of the lines being shown or played.

Here is the Archet instance. I did not remember that there were so many lines where Jon Brackenbrook includes our character's name in his dialogue, but according to http://lotro-wiki.com/index.php/Ques...ault_on_Archet, there are three places that he does. This image is where two of them should occur, and the third would be immediately after this, as we run up to meet Atli.

In this picture, Jon Brackenbrook should say: "Let's be sure the marketplace is safe, <PlayerName>. Come with me!" after you speak with him after killing Otto the brigand and his 2 associates.
Next, Jon should say "You fight well, <PlayerName>! But I fear the worst is yet to come." after we help fight the second batch of three brigands in the center of town.
Finally, as we run up to Atli, Jon should say "Look, Atli is ahead! All is not lost, <PlayerName>."

So unfortunately, I did not see any of these lines in the instance, and as you see, there is no placeholder for them either; the dialogue is just omitted.

I hope that this helps you figure out what is going on Arbor, and like many of us have mentioned, these changes have seemed to all appear since the last Update.

Bumping this thread with another instance that has dropped drama lines.

I ran the Trum Dreng instance, "The Feast of the Running Stag", which had lines that the Elder used to say be dropped, though the instance completed correctly. I submitted a bug report from within the instance.

Thanks for all the help tracking this issue down, everybody! It looks like our engineers have figured it out, so next patch should have a fix for this.

Now when the Summer Festival is over I had time to check several instances and everything was working as it should! And I finally got to continue with the epic! Wohoo!

So I just wanted to say a great big THANK YOU to MadeOfLions and Arbor and the engineers for all the help! Hugs for everyone involved in the calming of a worried lil minstrel, and searching, finding and fixing the missing text!

I apologize if this has been previously mentioned elsewhere.
I have been working on taking alts through the introductions on each server, and since this last update or so I have noticed a change in the Elf & Dwarf introduction instance inside Skorgrim's Tomb. After you defeat the two Mean Dourhands and Gormr Doursmith, Dwalin no longer says "We need to get out of here, before this becomes the tomb of <PlayerName>!" The entire line is just omitted from chat, for every alt I have taken through this particular introduction, no matter the class. "

That happened to me last week, and I didn't even notice it.

Duh.

(But then my primary concern in that instance is to KEEP UP
WITH DWALIN. I've failed that instance in years past because
I lagged behind and the rocks fell in front of me instead of
behind me.

And I observe it's now been fixed: Good show.
