Bonne nouvelle   

2014
Paths of the Dead and Dol Amroth: Our second update of the year will kick off a new volume of the Epic Story, featuring the aftermath of the Army of the Dead as they pass through Blackroot Vale. Journey to Dol Amroth, our first Gondorian city and seaside port! You’ll also have five new levels to advance your character.

Dead Marshes: Between updates, we’ll take a small detour to check on wayward Hobbits…

Pelargir: Our third update of the year will take you to the great port of Pelargir on the delta of Anduin. Join the Army of the Dead to defeat the Corsairs of Umbar! This update will also include five new levels.

These new quests and the level caps will all be free to VIPs.


Of Bears and Bees
Recently we confirmed that LOTRO will be releasing a new class this year. I’m pleased to announce that this class is the Beorning! This will be LOTRO’s first class since the Mines of Moria expansion introduced the Warden and Rune-keeper.

Beornings are noted in The Lord of the Rings trilogy as a race of Man, with close origins to the Rohirrim and the Men of Dale. Most Men are not shape-changers, so we envision the Beorning as a light armor casting class with a focus on control of the battlefield. When a Beorning gathers sufficient rage, they may transform into a mighty bear.

We’ll be sharing early class designs with the new Players Council. Expect more details later this year, as the class progresses through alpha and beta.


Housing
This deserves a special mention. After reviewing all our goals for the year, major Housing changes will not be among them. We reviewed multiple options to update the system – none of them met our standards of quality, and ultimately the system you would want us to build.

LOTRO is about the journey, and first and foremost we want to be expanding and growing the world of Middle-earth. This does not mean there will be no changes to Housing, but don’t expect broad, systemic updates. I’m sorry that we set any other expectations in the past, as we know this is a feature that many of you greatly value.


As always, there are also features that we’re working on but haven’t committed a timeline to. Basically, we’ll ship them when they’re ready. Many of these ideas are based on your feedback, so please keep it coming!

Kinships: The next addition to loot options is a system of crafting tied to your Kinship house, which will encourage more social play. Our goal is to create Kinship deeds that you can complete together.

Combat Rebalancing: You’ve said that high-level combat has gotten too easy, and we agree! With new regions we’ll be taking a hard look at balance and adjusting existing opponents or adding new ones.

PvMP: Why add catapults to the Ettenmoors? Why not? Siege weapons!

Epic Battles: We’ll continue to update and improve this system, along with a new battle in 2014. There are some epic conflicts ahead in the story.

Festivals: Hobnanigans (better known as Chicken Hockey) is a special event for the Bree-fields. You can expect new weekend boosts and events as we go forward.


2015
Looking out to the future, our Palantir reveals multiple updates in 2015. Here are two of them!

Osgiliath: The middle of 2015 brings us deeper in Gondor, and to lands directly contested by Sauron’s armies.

Pelennor Fields and Minas Tirith: The end of 2015 takes us to one of the defining moments of the War of the Ring, the battle before the walls of Minas Tirith.

As you can tell, we’re in the heart of the story now. It is a tremendous challenge for the team to do justice to these well-known events, but also one we’re thrilled to be undertaking.

Et sinon le serveur de patch est down ou quoi ?

C'est passé comme un patch à la pharmacie pour moi.

ça peut être marrant à jouer le beorning: un MDS où tu passes tu MDS à l'ours

"You’ll also have five new levels to advance your character."
 
Et merde. Ils avaient confirmés dans une interview il y a 2-3 mois qu'ils ne le feraient pas !
 
Je trouve que c'est une façon assez immature et tape à l’œil d'ajouter du contenu, de systématiquement ajouter des niveaux pour qu'on jette tout et qu'on passe une éternité à bosser tous nos équipements dans notre coin.
 
Y'a des MMO qui progressent et évoluent très bien sans ça. Encore faut-il alors faire preuve d'imagination...

T'inquiète ils vont bientôt s'apercevoir qu'ils peuvent pas mettre plus de 2 chiffres au level

MAJ testé sur Bullroarer

Update 13.1 Preliminary Release Notes – BULLROARER ONLY

The following release notes are for the Bullroarer public test server only and may not reflect the final list of changes or updates included at release.
These notes are not final and should be viewed as a work in progress and subject to change.

Due to the method of gathering information for the patch notes, there may be duplicate/similar entries or topics that are not included.

Cosmetic Pets!

The miniature huorns of Fangorn have banded together and decided to make themselves stand out a bit more from the less friendly creatures running around Middle-earth. 

Not to be outdone, other friendly creatures of Middle-earth are considering joining the huorns in their quest for standing out as player friends. 

This new union of “Cosmetic Pets” will allow players to show off their newfound companions in a few new ways. These shy creatures will exist purely on each person’s client meaning that there is a configurable option you can use to turn off the display of all other players’ cosmetic pets if you are experiencing graphical performance problems. These pets will follow you around to the best of their ability including matching your speed as you mount up and ride off into the sunset. Other features are being worked on for this cosmetic pet system but for 13.1 you can get a quick taste of what we have planned.

A couple FAQs:

Lore-master non-combat pets will not be affected with the current design. If there is feedback against this being the case let us know, Lore-masters!

While there is currently no UI for renaming your cosmetic pets, you can expect to see one in a future update. In the meantime, you can rename these pets via a player command (/cpet rename NAMEHERE).

As client-side critters, these cosmetic pets cannot be selected by clicking on them as you would a monster.
These cosmetic pets can be used alongside any of your combat pets (or alongside the Lore-masters’ non-combat companions that can take the place of their combat pets).
The 3 Fangorn huorn pets are not alone in their use of this new system! Keep your eyes peeled for ways to earn new special little cosmetic friends to follow you around Middle-earth.


Epic Book Volume 3 Book 4


Adjusted the layer issues when leaving the Gate-house in Isengard. If you have succumbed to this layer issue (and you'll know you have if you can't find Morflak where he should be), use the Reminder of Captivity to return to the Isengard Depths and get yourself on the right layer again. Then you'll want to proceed through the quest again, and leaving the Gate-house should function correctly, at which point Morflak will have returned to his customary spot. Sorry for the inconvenience!



Fixed the spawning for the Key-master in III.4.26.

Rebalanced the stat distribution on level scaled ettenmoors gear to reduce the amount of finesse given out.

Nestad Infused Parchments were no longer working after the class revamp. The attunement effect has been replaced with an effect that guarantees Epic for the Ages will critically hit
Many Big Battle Jewelry Items that are intended for all tanks have block, which would make them useless for the Champion. I am restatting a lot of gear to appeal to everyone.

You can now drag/drop items into the mail message body to attach them to the mail.
Added a new "sort" button to the bag 1 toolbar in the inventory. This button (after a suppressable confirmation dialog) will sort all your items, floating all empty space to the top (so that as you get new items, they are separated from your existing items). The sorting algorithm used is the one used for the "auto" sort in the vault, and it has been updated to correctly sort by level items of the same quality and type.

Fangorn Forest -- Twisted Branches and A Natural Remedy can now always be completed and monsters will always be spawned for these quests.
Fangorn Forest -- A Forest Without Frontiers -- Players were losing the summoning item after completing the deed 'The Stewards of Fangorn'. This has been corrected. However, you may need to obtain the quest from Quickbeam again (if you no longer have it) before continuing with the huorn. Your progress on the deed will not be affected.
Uruks in 'Interlude: The Doorward' have been adjusted to be less unexpectedly deadly.


Désolée Mithrel mais c'est qu'en VO pour l'instant.
