LOTRO, Secret World, & Rift with an End-Game View
LOTRO Update 6 Known Issues
Normally not a terribly exciting thread, but the Known Issues thread usually pops up but there are a couple of big one in there this time.
- Warden Issues
- The Porbad and Fist-way armour sets have incorrect stats and set bonuses
- Deadly Insult, Efficient Thrust, and Shield Trickery trait deeds are not being advanced if the base gambit builders are used in Recklessness or Assailment stances
- Assailment stance is using the old Conservation tooltip; this stance gives a penalty to defence, not a bonus
- While in Assailment stance, the Dance of War tooltip claims to perform Light Damage; however, this gambit decreases threat and adds Evade Rating
- Quick Toss buff increases ranged damage by 1.5% not 2%-6%
- Skill tooltips are not adjusting properly when Mastery traits are equipped and when stances are changed.
- Quest Instance in Wailing Hills sounds like it has some completion issues and you might need to use the character portrait menu to leave the instance
- Fornost is closed as it is getting a revamp!!
Most of the Warden issues are GUI cosmetics which while annoying when you’re trying to learn things, shouldn’t really impact your play.
However, I’m incredibly excited about Fornost – here’s hoping it not only gets a Garth Agarwen style revamp but also becomes a scaling instance!
Update 14/3
A huge new issue has been identified and added to the thread – “Players in the Tower of Orthanc raid may not be able to use the door leading to the final stage of the raid.” Apparently it’s a little worse than that sounds – no one can get the door leading to the final two bosses open at the moment and this isn’t just a locks issue; the last two bosses of the raid are now completely inaccessible. There has been a blue post confirming that this issue is being looked at, but no timeframe as yet.

Wrong place to comment on this but I do like the “upgradable” jewlery concept they have been going with on the last two updates. The Ox-Clan camp started it with the upgradable necklace and it looks like Stangrad has other upgradable jewlery. I haven’t gone far enough in the quests to find the rare drop you need to make that upgrade happen, but I am guessing Limlight Gorge or something.

I won’t ruin this thread with spoilers, but I will say we get to touch on Fangorn Forest in this new map, just briefly and it looks great! Doc, the new 6-man you are refering to has something to do with it (I’ll let everyone figure it out on ther own) I guess I’m about half way thru the new Epic story line and I like the story/path they are taking. A really cool way to involve the rohan men of the northern portions into the game. The design of the new map is great, it was just probably rushed and that’s why its glitchy.

Ok Doc, another unknown issue or something that Turbine changed with this update that a kinny found yesterday that makes me said. I am an Altoholic, I admit it. With 4 75s and a few other toons, I play this game too much! Anyway, prior to the last update the level 50 teal Helegrod gear found in the Last Homely House was able to be aquired with marks/medallions. As of this update, it has been converted back to the Helegrod barter drops from the 12 man raids? Bind on Aquire as well, so that your level 50s have to earn it. Was this planned? It wasn’t spoken of as far as I know. I’m bummed, I was going to use my 75s to grind the marks for my 50s to earn this gear. Bummer!

Good question. I’ll check Annuminas when I get home from work today, unless you have the time to port over there before then
I bet they have. But again I don’t understand the change. Turbine was making this “low level gear” easier to get, now they went the other way.So now you have to run the Helegrod raids with level 50s AND win the roll. This is an old Moria instances ratiance gear type of rollback?

Doc, OK to answer the Annuminas level 50 barter armor question from last week, the answer is that mark and medallions will still get that armor. Only the level 50 Helegrod armor requires the barter pieces. I haven’t found a discussion or a reason why anywhere on the forums. Buts that’s kind of a big roll back to me.

I wish a GM would comment on it, as it is a change not listed in any release notes. You made mention of a patch coming soon???? I finished the new Epic line on the new map and reached kindred with the Riders of Stangard on my main toon on Saturday, so I basically did all of the quests except the LimLight stuff and there are many problems in Stangard with labeling and such. Let’s hope a patch clears a lot of that stuff up.

Doc, yeah Stangard is one big question after another. “I wonder what’s in this house?” “Oh look I found the forge master and the relic master!” I wonder what’s behind this door?” oh look I found the bard!” Also there is an Easter Egg I guess in a Kindred Only Stangard room. But let’s just say I don’t get it? As to what’s in there. I won’t spoil it, but I would love to know others thoughts are when they make it to that room.

Another know issue which seem really lax by turbine to me is that even though your Virtues may be at 14, they will show a “12″. How do you miss that? I hate how they rush content and miss really easy obvious things. Especially when they said your Virtues are going to 14.
Where is the quality control? I don’t know anything about programing, but changing a bunch of Virtue numbers from 12 to 13 or 14 seems like it would take about 5 minutes to me. Especially when the stats behind them are already right anyway.
