Update 23 Bullroarer Release Notes


Here are the Release Notes for Update 23 on Bullroarer. These notes are a work of progress, and will change over time. There are various parts of Update 23 that are not yet in the Bullroarer Release Notes due to not being in this preview, and some numbers, names, and other particulars may well change before going live. The Bullroarer database has been wiped, so you may re-copy your live characters.


Of Special Note:


Update 23 - Grey Mountains (Final name TBA)


Update 23 features a journey into the homelands and histories of the dwarves, including the Longbeard descendants of Durin the Deathless. Beginning with an expanded Erebor, you will adventure into the fabled Iron Hills, and finally arrive in the lost dwarf kingdoms of the Grey Mountains. This new adventure area features more than 100 quests and deeds, and three resource Instances that allows for groups of three, with daily and weekly rewards. Additionally, there are two new Instances for up to three players, and one new Instance for up to six players, with Solo versions available as well! Additionally, a new raid will be available in a future update to Update 23. These new Instances will soon playable up to Tier 3, and are available this Bullroarer preview at Tier 1. Tier 3 is a new challenge level that replaces the former T2C difficulty, and offers a new challenge in addition to other awards. Tier 3 difficulty is expected to unlock several weeks after the release of Update 23.

Hobbit Avatar Update

We have a work-in-progress available for preview of our upcoming avatar update for Hobbits! Further work needs to be done, including adding new hair styles, among other things.

Increased Level Cap

Players can now level their characters to 120! The increase features new gear, appearances, and cosmetics, among other things.

News and Notes:

Classes

• Changes have been made to the way ratings are calculated throughout the game to provide a more even gameplay experience throughout levelling, and to make gearing at end game more compelling. In particular:
  
  • Mastery has had its cap decreased from 400% to 200%, and it is now subject to some degree of reducing returns. This change is retroactive to all levels and equipment, which makes it easier to achieve moderate mastery levels, but harder to maximize them.
  • Monster health has been adjusted to be considerably lower at the higher levels of the game to adjust for the change to mastery.
  • Monster health has been adjusted upwards are very low levels to compensate for skill bonus changes over time.
  • Well-geared DPS builds will see relatively minor changes to their average time to defeat a monster, while non-DPS builds will see a faster average time to defeat enemies at higher levels. Higher-end DPS builds may find they now have room in their gear layout for mitigations and other stats at relatively little cost to their overall DPS output.
  • All gear now has its stats linked from the core ratings system, meaning that gear statting is now more consistent over the level range. This scaling has been extended to cover the Vital stats as well, such as Might and Vitality.
  • Item levels are now distributed more evenly from level to level, to progress more smoothly over each band of levels. Item levels of existing gear will not changed, but scaling gear dropped at various levels will obey the new item level patterns. Any item levels over 105 remain unchanged.
    
  
  
  • Ratings caps no longer change from level to level, and are now consistent throughout your character's levelling experience.
    
• The following Warden skills now stack when applied by different Wardens: Resounding Challenge (Assailment), Piercing Strike, Precise Blow, and Spear of Virtue.
• The Warden skill The Boot now deals proper damage when used from Battle Memory.
• The Hunter Deed Swift and Sharp now increments when the skill Swift Bow is used.
• The Warden traits Bane of Shadow and Foe of the Darkness now properly affect the following skills' initial attack: Brink of Victory, Desolation, Impressive Flourish, Surety of Death, War-cry.
• The Warden red line trait bonus "+5% Warden DoT Damage" now properly affects the damage over time from Power Attack, Mighty Blow, and Unerring Strike.
• The Warden trait Persevere now properly affects the healing from the following skills: Ranged Persevere, Ranged Safeguard, Ranged Celebration of Skill, and Ranged Restoration. Persevere no longer affects healing from the skill Conviction, as this trait was never intended to affect this skill.
• The Warden Blue line specialization bonus now properly affects the healing from the following skills: Ranged Persevere, Ranged Safeguard, Ranged Celebration of Skill, Ranged Restoration.
  
  
  

Crafting

• Weaponsmiths no longer create Doomfold Metal Shavings with Ingredient Packs.
• A new Ironfold tier of crafting is now available! Tier 12 includes near Gear, class items, and a new tier of musical instruments.

Staccato and Vibrato Bassoons will be available in future content, and can be previewed by visiting Composer in the Eyes & Guard Tavern.

• More chairs are now usable with the /sit emote, including chairs in Dol Guldur, Dunland, Gondor, Isengard, and Rohan.

• The Imbued Legendary Item level cap has been increased. There are now five additional levels for Legacies, two of which can be unlocked, and three of which are granted for free. There will be another small increase alongside the release of the raid.
  
  
  

Quests and Adventure Areas

• A new Featured Instance rotation has been set up, including Dome of Stars, Silent Street, Quays of Harlond, Blood of the Black Serpent, School at Tham Mírdain, Helegrod - Spider Wing. These include the new Featured Challenge objectives for players at cap level.
• Fixed a posing issue with an NPC in Bree.
• The Misty Mountain stable-masters have decided to rent sturdy goat mounts instead of horses for travel in those mountains.
• The Epic Quest Blackwolds Broken now rewards more level-appropriate gear for Beornings.
• The Bree-land Starter Steed at Hengstacer Farms is no longer barred if you already have the Bree-Steed or Bree-Pony mount skills. Please note, however, that these steed share appearances and mount speed.
  
  
  

Skills

• All characters now have a passive skill called Bassoon Use Instrument Proficiency granted at level five. You can find the new Basic Bassoon for use in the /music system on any Bard NPC.

Lotro, BFA, Lotro, BFA, BFA, Lotro, Lotro, BFA, ... :d Bha les deux évidements!

Au sinon de chouettes ajouts.

[Armendir]

Après s'être promené un peu dans la zone :
- il y a des modifications importantes en effet concernant la maîtrise et les statistiques
- jolie zone à nouveau, ambiance bien rendue, décors sympathiques (et l'extension d'Erebor lui donne une dimension bienvenue), ça grouille de vers et drakes divers
Bref, plutôt du bon !
Après ce n'est qu'une sorte de brouillon, il y a pas mal de choses incomplètes.

[eldoradan]

On en parle des potions dans les coffres qui rendent 70 % du moral max avec un cd d'une minute ? tu m'étonnes qu'ils aient nerf le heal

[Gormoroin]

Hahaha il chipote pas en tout cas, un petit up des potions ne fait pas de mal car bon elle était un peu inefficace au niveau maximum.

[eldoradan]

Entre des potions craft useless et des potions coffres/store qui filent 30,50, 70% de moral max avec un cd d'une minute il y a quand même un fossé.

Le seul truc positif c'est que ça permet de se passer d'un heal sur qq instances ou le tanking était un poil juste avant, enfin positif sauf si on joue heal.

[Gormoroin]

Oui bien entendu, faut un juste milieu quand même mais quand tu vois qu'une popo te rend même pas le montant d'un coup d'un monstre ... ^^ faudrait qu'elles rendent 30 % de vie etc ...

Tu peux y transférer gratuitement tes personnages, en te loguant sur le client normal, bouton transférer et après le choix de ton serveur d'orgine / Bullroarer.
Il y a sinon la taverne Eye & Guard qui permet de faire monter un personnage très rapidement.

Le léger malaise quand à 3 lvl 115 sans heal on réussit l'instance à 6 lvl 120 de la nouvelle région.
Au moins elle est jolie, et j'espère surtout quand T2 et T3 il y aura des strats compliquées.

[Kaels]

We have reopened Bullroarer for a new preview of Update 23! This preview will run until Thursday, August 23rd at Noon Eastern.

Here are the main changes:

• Tier 2 difficulty is now available for the Update 23 Instances. Give it a try and let us know how you find the challenge.
• Gear from Lootboxes has been adjusted. The highest base level they can drop is now item level 370 Incomparable gear, with the chance to bump up to five item levels. If you do see a piece that is higher than this from a lootbox, it is a bug, and should be reported to us.
• Crafted Potions have had their power increased.
• Minor, Major, and Greater Potions of Morale and Power now restore 20/30/40% instead of 30/50/70% over a period of eight seconds. They now have a two minute cooldown.
• Monster Vitality has been adjusted, with the intention of making monsters a bit more challenging in the mid-levels (by making them closer to their current Live server stats).
• PREVIEW ONLY: Eldorudo in the Eyes & Guard Tavern now has packages offering a selection of gear available from Tier 1 and 2 difficulty Grey Mountains Instances. These pieces of gear range from base item level 375 to 380, and all have a chance to bump up to five item levels. The Tier 2 heavy package was accidentally omitted, and will be present in a future preview.
• A "Destroy All" button has been added to the Pending Loot panel, with a confirmation dialog.

Comment ça se fait que les essences sur les sets ont été nerfé sur bullroar +5888 Maîtrise physique passé à 4100 ?

• Mastery has had its cap decreased from 400% to 200%, and it is now subject to some degree of reducing returns. This change is retroactive to all levels and equipment, which makes it easier to achieve moderate mastery levels, but harder to maximize them.
  
  Le passage de 400 à 200% sur la maîtrise impacte également les équipements.

Hello! Bullroarer has been updated to include a pass on ratings and game balance changes as listed in the notes. On the Beorning stat changes it should be:

- Might is now a more prominent main stat for Beornings:

• Might now grants Evade and Crit.
• Will now grants less Resistance
• Fate now grants less crit, and no longer grants Tactical Mastery.
  
  
  

If this is not the case, then we'll need to work on it as a bug.

Non non ça impacte toutes les essences pas que celle lié au dps la valeur de critique aussi, la vitalité aussi est nerf et toute celle que j'ai regardé etc Donc en fait ils nous réduisent le dps et toutes les stats ce qui fait qu'au final on se retrouve à nouveau avec un choix purement dps ou mitigation... Bref si au moins ils baissaient le dps pour laisser des slots pour mettre de la défenses critique ou des mitigations et bien même pas ... Je vois pas l’intérêt.
