Summary: Cari and Layanor talk about Update 15, big butts and epic battles. Cari is such a dedicated podcaster she finished the show without power. Audio Version: What We Did in Game Layanor Cari-Mac Leveled my Beorning News Update 15 Patch Notes https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthread.php?&postid=7260542#post7260542 Beornings are here! Every new Beorning character will start in the brand new starting area: Vales of Anduin. Visit Grimbeorn’s Lodge while you get comfortable with your own strength. Beornings are designed to be a dynamic skin-changer class. Their basic skills emphasize the difference between human and bear forms. There are skills available in three different ways: those available in man form; those available in bear form; those available in any form. Pelargir Epic Battle: Retaking Pelargir is a new type of offensive Epic Battle where you help Aragorn’s forces defeat the Corsairs at Pelargir. Available in solo/duo mode (with fellowship option coming soon), face a new enemy type, Epic Foes, new barterable rewards, and witness the Army of the Dead annihilate the Corsair host. We have added a new character chat restriction: All new free characters must wait 3 hours of in-game time before they will be able to use world chat and all user created chat channels (such as glff). All other channels will be available to them. Once players have reached this three hour time limit, they will need to relog in order to then join the chat channels. Please note: This change ONLY affects free players and all times and restrictions are subject to change. When in a raid, the Instance Finder UI will now properly gray out any specific instances that cannot be accessed by other members of your raid group. The raid skirmish quests should now be correctly bestowing on players at level 100, making it so that they can correctly loot the skirmish raid reward chests and see the roll/pass, need/greed/pass, and master loot work correctly. Fixed a problem where skirmish raid chests could be looted with Free-for-all rules, regardless of the player eligibility or fellowship settings Update 15.1 Patch Notes https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthread.php?&postid=7263997#post7263997 Music System: We have fixed the squeaky A#4 Clarinet note Beornings in bear form now have unique faces that display the painted designs seen in man form During Volume 4 Book 2 - Chapter 2: Two Messengers: some of the Corsairs had rings who shouldn’t have. This should now be resolved. Volume 4 Book 2, Chapter 3: Balakhor the Scourge: Captain Noreth should now always be waiting for you on the boat. Big Battles - Pelargir - Quests - Archer Thisarti and Okurauo the Minstrel quests should now complete after killing the required enemies Update 15 Known Issues https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthread.php?&postid=7260894#post7260894 WB Plans More Layoffs http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/11/05/warner-bros-plans-more-layoffs-through-early-2015/ We Want your Top 10 Bugs https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthread.php?&postid=7264768#post7264768 Just like the title says, we want your top 10 list of bugs or things in the game that have bugged you for a while now. We are not talking about class balance or skill x being op, but rather things that are busted or never quite worked right. Think of them as “Quality of life” fixes. These items may not have stopped you from playing, but you sure wish they were fixed. So post your list in this thread and let us know. After some time we will compile the list and see about getting some items fixed in an upcoming update.
