Bullroarer Update 29 - Preview #1 - CLOSED

[LotroVidz]

- In my opinion, they should make the Virtue XP bound to account again, because there are so many players who buy this exactly for these reasons, if you make this bound to character and sometimes to account, this will buy as good as no one more. That is you (SSG) is thereby lost money, because such Valars are not exactly cheap. Must be fixed please, that the Virtue XP are bound again to account!

Better asking them to FIX the virtue grind instead? Valars are supposed to take a character to level 120 and give that character strength to proceed into 120+ content. Not to level virtues of your other characters. If the grind is so horrid you would pay 50$ for it, it's a sign that the grind is too much! And it is. Whales show your faces =)

I agree with you.
But you also have to understand other people who spend their money on it and then realize that this is now bound to the character? Honestly? you would feel pretty rude too!

The fact that it has not been included in the Patch notes is what pisses me off the most.
Silent changes, on items or any other features in the game (heck, even skills), are a bad move. Makes the company look dishonest.

Classes:

• Guardian - Shield-wall will no longer block the target from using Stamp.
• Guardian - Fixed erroneous placeholder text for the Bolster characteristic.
• Guardian - Added tooltip notes stating that Warrior's Fortitude traits from separate trees will not stack. This is just a text change reflecting the existing functionality.

If this is giving the guard a little love take it back we don't want it.
what we would like for the Guardian to have done to it I will post a list of changes we would love to see below.

Classes:

• Guardian - Shield-wall will only transfer half of all damage target it gets cast on gets hit with.
• Guardian - Fixed Stats so Vitality contributes to all parry, evade, block rating, chances and also decreases all incoming damage types.
• Guardian - Fixed Warrior's Fortitude traits from separate trees to stack.
• Guardian - Fixed Might to increase debuffs and give chance to ignore all poisons and all bleeds
• Guardian - Fixed issue of all guardian skills not being available in all trait trees and only have different effects based on trait tree.
• Guardian - Fixed issue Where all Skills did not mass taunt all enemies attacking raid or fellowship when used and did not heal guard for a percent of max health.

any and all of these would help the guardian
(which was based on Samwise Gamgee from Lord of the rings, and as I recall Samwise Gamgee was an unyielding person that was so determined not to fail in anything he was ordered to do for anyone and was mighty and strong in health and beyond all else was the main protector of Frodo Baggins and helped in destroying the ring.

so making a guardian unable to do anything except die and die and die again by making it weaker than a mini in survival ability and weeker than a lore-masters level 50 animal in attack ability at level 130 which makes them unable to help out a raid at all or even a fellowship is wrong.

As for all other changes that are class-based or item-based that are nerfed suck as well worst of the changes other than the guard was the bind to character on valar virtue xp.

Instances:

Deed Log: * They appear in their respective Landscape Sections instead of the Instance tab. (Kidhzul Kalah is still in Vales of Anduin section either instead of instance tab btw)
* The Forochel instance bestows the deeds for T1 T2 T3 upon entering, the Old Forest one only T1 when you enter on T1. This should be made more consistent.

Bosses: * I think the Bosses will get more work considering this is the first preview, I mean 5 Million on 122 T1 solo is a bit much lol also 37k on 30 t1 solo

I wanted to stay away of this game for a while but in a website I saw the announcement of this update, and I read about another Virtue cap increase. I'm here just to say...


Pfffffff again? So lazy. I'm glad I stopped caring about it. I'll die of boredom if I must continue doing weeklies. Virtue system has become in one of the worst things of this game.


And also...


2 new instances, so I guess this quest pack will cost more than 1000 LP, right?

Alright out again....

[Fegefeuer]

Yikes SSG, revert this change. Valar vxp should not be bound to char, what a horrible change.

Wow amazinggggg making Virtue grind even worse. Ugh they'll make me log the game just to place those Virtue things in my desired characters just in case. So lazy. Glad I won't get more Valars anyway, since alts are pointless.

[Fatty]

Did Bullroarer close early?? Client just tries to update but gets constant "an update error occured"

They listed in Instance Finder as part of WotP instance cluster

Problème depuis le mois de Juillet.

Une réponse ?

''Valars:''

The change in binding status for the Valar Virtue XP items was an unintended side effect of some other changes interacting with Store delivery mechanics.
Thank you to all of you who brought it to our attention.
I fixed the bug in our development environment today, so you should see the fix with the next Bullroarer (any items you already have on Bullroarer may remain incorrectly bound, but any newly acquired acquired ones should correctly bind to account).

I think a lot of people will be grateful to you for this fix, including me. Thank you again!

Release Notes
Classes:

• Rune-keeper - When the Closing Remarks buff is consumed by Epic Conclusion, it is replaced by the Aftershock buff, providing +20% Lightning Dmg & +25% Lightning Crit chance for up to 10s, or until it is replaced by a new instance of Closing Remarks.

This seems like a nice change for yellow runekeepers. Should nudge them closer to other primary dps classes without getting back into an RK-only meta. Are there similar changes coming for red runekeepers?

Rip Guardians

Rip Guardians

[BlitzKr1eg]

I doubt that one RK change will do anything... You still loose attunement by using EC. Also when you don't trait "Closing Remarks" you can pretty much keep up Harsh Debate/Thunderous Words buff during the entire fight.

The upside of cashing out attunement is still too bad compared to just keeping attunement.

[AaylaKheledlire]

Any info about build 2 today?

[Celebrawn]

Why? We are already having max offensive stats, overcapped crit rating and 600k+ morale on dps classes....... The stats have gone so nuts this level cap and now you're adding even more virtue levels, it's just crazy. Revert this change

Not everybody has the best raid gear, essences, and maxed out everything. Only a small minority I would venture to guess.

[HolyDuckTape]

kekekek bruh

Not everybody has the best raid gear, essences, and maxed out everything. Only a small minority I would venture to guess.

Then they should play the content to get the best gear 0.0

[BlitzKr1eg]

So this is it? No more BR builds for U29? What's even the point? You might as well skip BR all-together if you're not gonna let the players test it properly.

What makes you think they’re not doing another BR build? Secondly where exactly do they ever listen to BR feedback anyway?

[BlitzKr1eg]

Because there's been a week since the last update, and based on recent builds I suppose this will go live next week. Hopefully they'll update it tomorrow.

I never said that I expect them to listen too feedback, I'm more curious if there's anything new in the next build.

[Magnumum]

I report the problem on dx9
