Update 11: Treachery of the White Hand Release Notes - Official
Of Special Note
New Launcher
The LOTRO Launcher no longer requires .net 1.1. You will notice several changes, especially during patching/updating. The new launcher also respects your default browser setting. It will no longer default to IE when opening links.
New Region: Wildermore
Wildermore, north of East Rohan, offers new quests, new warbands, and a whole new series of Endgame activities and rewards. A vector from East Rohan will lead players into the snow covered fields and hills. Learn more about Wilermore by watching our Video Dev Diary.
The Epic Story Continues
Book 10: Snows of Wildermore continues the Epic story into Wildermore, discovering the source of the sudden change in weather and the new dangers in Wildermore. Along the way players catch up on what the Rangers have been doing since they were last encountered. Read the Developer Notes for more information.
Mounted Combat Update
Mounted Combat receives a significant update, with the yellow trait tree being integrated into the base War-steed for optimal maneuverability. In place of the previous movement trait tree, each class will get their own specific yellow tree, with boost and skills tailored to each role. For more details, click here to read the developer diary.
Lalia’s Market Now Open in Bree-town!
Lalia, daughter of Bob who works at the Prancing Pony, gained a certain level of notoriety amongst adventurers after an incident she had in the Barrow-downs. However, her wandering days are now behind her, and she’s opened her very own shop in her adopted city. As those who’ve met Lalia before know, she’s always had an appreciation of the value of a good piece of clothing. Learn more about Lalia’s market .
Hobbit Gifts
Once a day, every day, players will get a new alert letting you know that you have received a special Silver Hobbit Present. Once a week, VIP players will receive an additional alert letting you know you have received a special Gold Hobbit Present. Clicking below the Silver Present or the Gold Present will display the reward you've gotten and other rewards you could have won. Gold Hobbit Presents offer a greater chance of getting the top level gifts. After free rolls are used, all players can use Mithril Coins to roll for either more Silver Hobbit Presents or Gold Hobbit Presents. Read the FAQ for more information.
Alert space changes
The new Alerts Panel is intended to allow you to see all of your alerts at one time. This includes most of your alerts: accomplishments, reputation, mail, etc. Hobbit Gifts, dynamic layer status, pending loot and connection status icons will all be separate from this panel. Connection status is now its own element that can moved around separately from all alerts.
Housing Upkeep and Foreclosure changes
Housing Upkeep now allows for paying further in advance and adds the option to pay with Mithril Coins. Houses without upkeep paid for the past six months will go into Foreclosure and all items inside will be put into Escrow.
Note: A two month grace period will be allowed for homes which are already more than 6 months overdue when Update 11 goes Live. More details in the developer notes.
Additional Mithril Services
Reputation acceleration, Deed acceleration, Armour and Weapon repair services, task resets, and task limit increases can now be purchased with Mithril.
Trait Configurations reset
Mounted Combat Trait Trees have been updated, so all your Trait Configurations have been reset and points refunded.
Legendary item points refunded
In Update10, a lot of scaled items and some Legendary Items got a DPS bump. We are pushing this out to items that players acquired before Update 10 went live. In the process we had to refund all your Legendary Item points
Enhanced Experience
Rest experience is getting an overhaul! Basics: Rest Experience is becoming Enhanced Experience.
There will be two kinds of Enhanced XP: VIP Bonus XP and Store item Bonus XP.
VIP Bonus will appear blue on your experience bar. Store Bonus will appear as light blue. Bonus experience will apply to all basic forms of experience (adventure XP, legendary, steed, etc.). If both the VIP bonus and the Store bonus are present, the VIP bonus will be used first. Store Experience boosters, like the Tome of Extraordinary Experience, can be used along with these bonuses.
It’s the Little Things
New Bug reporting tool
We’ve updated our bug reporting tool. You can find out more by reading this post.
Additional “Opt out” emotes
Practical Joke -Players will now be immune to Practical Joke when Involuntary Emotes are disabled.
Toasting Mug -Fixed a bug that allowed this emote to bypass the 'Disable Involuntary Emotes' option.
Release notes
General
Some persistent area effects (hotspots) with white visualization borders that only benefitted your enemies should now correctly be drawn red.
Item experience will now be properly displayed as a reward and granted to characters of the appropriate level for level-scaling quests.
Fate will now contribute to OCPR in place of Will
Fixed a bug that was causing item procs that grant bonus damage on harmful skill plays to break Crowd Control effects. These procs should now only trigger when a Harmful skill that does damage is applied.
You should no longer get a “A failure has occurred in submitting your support request” error message on login. It has been replaced with a more meaningful error message, which will hopefully help us figure out what's going on.
Set bonuses that reduce Defeat Event Cooldowns no longer stack. This will prevent unintentional stacking that could reduce cooldowns to 0s.
The Captain's Cloak of the Fornost Captain and Wyrmfire Mender's Ring have new proc effects on them. These proc effects are set up to trigger off the Captain's healing skills (and ONLY the Captain's).
Fixed a bug that could cause packaged items to sometimes fail to automatically stack with other identical items.
/bug will now toggle the Help screen - bringing it up if it is closed and closing it if it is open. From the Help screen there is a button which players can use to open a bug.
Classes
Burglar
Fixed a bug where the Burglar trait Conservative Combatant was not apply to Strategic Strike
Champion
Champion's Armour of the Unyielding Rage 4-set bonus should now proc on strike skills, not just Wild Attack.
The Champions Greater/Lesser Erebor Beserker's Armour 2set bonus was applying Wild Attacks Bleed on critical hit but not devastating criticals. This has been fixed.
Swift Strike was not properly proccing the Greater Erebor Beserker's Armour set bonus for champions even though it has strike in its name.
Hunter
Slightly increased the power cost of the Hunter mounted skill "Spread of Arrows" to account for a second attack being added
Lore-master
The lore-master mounted skill 'Bond of the Rider' will now heal nearby allies without requiring that they be part of their fellowship
Loremaster cosmetic pet skills will now correctly grey out when the loremaster has a cosmetic pet summoned
The Lore-master Mounted Combat pet! On critical hit, the pet will apply a bleed, and will have a chance to slow when attacking enemies from behind. Each of its attacks also have a chance to proc the 'Flanked!' effect, which will now cause Enduring Embers to do additional damage, and Metal and Mettle to provide a power heal.
Rune-keeper
Rune-keeper Greater Erebor Cleanser armour set bonus applies the Writ of Fire DOT of the same size as the player would.
Warden
Wardens should now be able to exchange their Might rings for Agility rings at the Rohan Quartermasters
PvMP - Wardens may now barter for the Band of the Nimble Sentry and Ring of Precision. In addition, Wardens may also exchange their Rings of Resolute Defender and Bands of Fury for the appropriate Agility piece.
The following Warden class quest rewards have been adjusted to use Agility as their primary DPS stat.
Warder's Wristband
Warden's Piercer
Battle Medallion
Gold Star Earring
Fight Against the Darkness
Mounted Combat
Reducing damage done by Cry Wrath, Cry Havoc and Rally the Riders by 10-15%. Sorry to do it, but Captain damage output was far too high. Even with the reduction they are still capable of massive DPS while mounted.
Fixed a bug preventing the Light Steed trait Motivation Through Aggression from applying its effects to Enduring Embers and Sign of Power: Inspiration
Expanded the Heavy Steed Trait, Benevolence, to effect Enduring Embers and Sign of Power: Inspiration
fixed a bug that was preventing the Agility buff from displaying on the Burglar discipline skill Riddermark
Fixed a bug where the Riddermark Healing Bonus on Crits was not applying to Keen Strike and Jollification while in Trick: Strategem
Applied power saving traits and buffs to Quick Stop and Spur On
Altering All in the Wrist in Red Dawn so that it is a melee attack that deals a large amount of initial damage.
Increased the power return of the Lore-master skill 'Bond of the Rider' while in Riddermark
Lowered the chance for Disengaging Strikes to 25% to better align with other capstone traits
The Champion's 'Boundless Fervour' mounted relic should now appropriately provide a 25% chance to maintain Fervour when using Recuperate, Destabilizing Strike, and Horn Blast
Fixed the Mounted Combat 'Insignia of Boundless Fervour' so that it appropriately removes/does not remove fervour from the fervour meter, as well as from applied buffs
Increased the damage of Mounted Strike, Swift Cut and Horn Blast for Mounted Combat Champions.
Lowering the cooldown of the Coax skill for Mounted Combat
Increased the damage done by Noble Arrow, Seeking Arrow and Kill Shot
Increasing damage of Bond and Metal and Mettle and lowering power cost of Enduring Embers for Mounted Combat Lore-masters
Making several changes to base mount stats to help differentiate Light, Medium, Heavy (no nerfs)
Increasing damage of Debate in all disciplines for mounted combat Lore-masters
Hunter: Increased the damage of Kill Shot and added a second attack to “Spread of Arrows”
Warbands
Amongst their standard rewards, Warband Reward boxes should now also provide players with a chance to obtain new warsteed cosmetics and Warband Barter Tokens, which will be used to purchase the legendary pocket upgrades. Whereas the cosmetics will be a very rare drop from each reward box, the barter tokens will drop at a rate relative to the difficulty of the warband.
