LOTRO DEV MINI DIARY - SKIRMISH PATCH 1 February 1st 2010 A few days ago Zombie Columbus wrote a Mini Diary about Skirmish changes and fixes with latest Patch 1.
While individual results may vary, we feel overall Skirmishes are providing a reasonable amount of rewards. As jwb has implied, we will be making more adjustments in Book 1, mainly focused on Tier and group size. For patch 1, we wanted to take the step of reducing the amount of gold lost when getting defeated in a Skirmish. We believe this will not change the high end amount of gold players can achieve, but will raise the average. If in the past, high item wear kept you out of Skirmishes, now is a good time to try again!
Monster kills in Skirmishes have always granted 25% more XP then landscape. We put this buff in place because we were concerned that questing would be too lucrative relative to Skirmishes. In retrospect, this 25% bonus was not needed, and has helped make Skirmishes a bit too efficient vs. other gameplay styles. To combat this, we changed the XP bonus to be a visable buff, the "Skirmish Boon." This buff will be in place until Book 1, when it will be removed. It will come back from time to time during promotional events.
As was pointed out, and confirmed, Soldier healing was being treated as "negative damage". This led heavy armour wearing classes to gaining less healing then light armour classes. The bug has been globally fixed, and should greatly benefit heavy classes who pair with a Herbalist or Bannerguard. [Source] |

LOTRO SCHEDULED SERVER DOWNTIME: TUESDAY, JANUARY 26. January 25th 2010 The LOTRO Game Servers will be brought down on Tuesday, January 26 from 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM Eastern (-5 GMT) for a server side hotfix to address the Barad Guldur Gate Issue.
Players who enter the Barad Guldur raid instance with a previously obtained raid lock may encounter an issue where, upon a group death, the gates earlier in the instance no longer lower. This will prevent the group from returning to their previous point of progression and continuing.[Source] |
