Title: Re: Developer Diary: Volume III Book 1 Quest Notes Post by: Stormwaltz on February 04, 2010, 07:47:13 AM World building tool screenshots! *swoon*
Title: Re: Developer Diary: Volume III Book 1 Quest Notes Post by: Mrbloodworth on February 04, 2010, 08:04:07 AM World building tool screenshots! *swoon* Yeah, its nifty. Its also nifty its a layer that can be tweaked, and viewed live. Title: Re: Developer Diary: Volume III Book 1 Quest Notes Post by: Jamiko on February 04, 2010, 09:29:05 AM According to this podcast, duo skirmishes are coming as well.

Title: Re: Developer Diary: Volume III Book 1 Quest Notes Post by: Mrbloodworth on February 04, 2010, 10:04:51 AM World building tool screenshots! *swoon* Yeah, its nifty. Its also nifty its a layer that can be tweaked, and viewed live. you mean for the devs, correct? Yes. Title: Re: Developer Diary: Volume III Book 1 Quest Notes Post by: Soln on February 04, 2010, 10:14:47 AM not sure how this is world rocking worthy -- it's just more static text based on quests you may or may not have run previously. Doesn't actually change your character from what I read. Sure, Ok.
The ability to duo though is a welcome change. Reading the forums it seems on a fan site interview with 2 devs they said 40% of mini fellowships were being run by duo's, which helped make the decision for them. So progress. Also, seems to be a lot of attrition lately (since SoM) on Elindilmir from the raiding kins and unkinned types. At least from various signal/noise. That happening on BW and elsewhere? Title: Re: Developer Diary: Volume III Book 1 Quest Notes Post by: Stormwaltz on February 04, 2010, 12:27:17 PM Patch notes (from Bullroarer) now up. (http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.php?t=316278)
Everyone gets another ability "upgrade" at 64, skirmish rewards improved for larger groups and higher tiers. Title: Re: Developer Diary: Volume III Book 1 Quest Notes Post by: Mrbloodworth on February 05, 2010, 05:44:05 AM (http://i48.tinypic.com/2v7wf8p.jpg) (http://i46.tinypic.com/25p74pj.jpg)
Quote from: Sapience Cosmetic Skirmish rewards are now BoE for exactly that reason! Quote from: jwbarry Every skirmish except for the Barrow-downs is in fact duoable. Title: Re: Developer Diary: Volume III Book 1 Quest Notes Post by: Stormwaltz on February 05, 2010, 06:55:02 AM Top hats + Tolkien = :facepalm:
Title: Re: Developer Diary: Volume III Book 1 Quest Notes Post by: ghost on February 05, 2010, 08:15:57 AM That's not a top hat. It's just a very tall cowboy hat.
Title: Re: Developer Diary: Volume III Book 1 Quest Notes Post by: Yegolev on February 05, 2010, 11:19:19 AM Oh, well, that's fine then.
Title: Re: Developer Diary: Volume III Book 1 Quest Notes Post by: Soln on February 05, 2010, 11:20:04 AM anyone notice there's a free weekend+ every 3-4 weeks now?
Title: Re: Developer Diary: Volume III Book 1 Quest Notes Post by: Mrbloodworth on February 05, 2010, 12:26:22 PM anyone notice there's a free weekend+ every 3-4 weeks now? Not really that new. Title: Re: Developer Diary: Volume III Book 1 Quest Notes Post by: Ard on February 05, 2010, 01:24:24 PM They've pretty much been doing it for every festival and/or patch for quite a while. There's just been more overlap in those time periods recently due to the release of Mirkwood.
Title: Re: Developer Diary: Volume III Book 1 Quest Notes Post by: Stormwaltz on February 11, 2010, 09:49:42 AM Bloodworth, you spending all your time with other games? I'm stunned this wasn't posted already.
Skirmishes in Volume III, Book 1 (http://www.lotro.com/gameinfo/devdiaries/617-developer-diary-volume-iii-book-1-skirmishes) Title: Re: Developer Diary: Volume III Book 1 Quest Notes Post by: Mrbloodworth on February 11, 2010, 09:55:01 AM Bloodworth, you spending all your time with other games? I'm stunned this wasn't posted already. Skirmishes in Volume III, Book 1 (http://www.lotro.com/gameinfo/devdiaries/617-developer-diary-volume-iii-book-1-skirmishes) That and freelance work, yes. I am sorry I have failed in my duties! :grin: Been playing LOTRO for close to two years now, and I have a lifetime sub, so, it has nothing to do with the game itself. Title: Re: Developer Diary: Volume III Book 1 Quest Notes Post by: Stormwaltz on February 19, 2010, 06:56:38 AM Updates to crafting - jeweler, cook, and farmer. (http://www.lotro.com/gameinfo/devdiaries/623-developer-diary-volume-iii-book-1-crafting-update)
I can grow apple trees! Title: Re: Developer Diary: Volume III Book 1 Quest Notes Post by: Azazel on February 20, 2010, 12:37:37 PM I look forward to Duo Skirmishes! Now I can actually play them!
Farming updates? Do they make it less tedious and shit? Title: Re: Developer Diary: Volume III Book 1 Quest Notes Post by: Stormwaltz on February 20, 2010, 01:31:37 PM Farming updates? Do they make it less tedious and shit? No. The changes seem to be designed to make Farming more required for Cooking -- food ingredients that used to be vendor-purchased are now farmer-grown. Quote Shire Apples and Golden Shire Taters, previously available as vendor-bought goods, are now produced exclusively by Farmers... New recipes for producing Green Peas have been added to the highest tier of the profession, and can be used by Cooks in a few exciting new dishes. Title: Re: Developer Diary: Volume III Book 1 Quest Notes Post by: Azazel on February 24, 2010, 12:40:48 AM Crap! When does this go live? I was thinking of starting up a Tinkerer. I'll stock up now.
(I have a Supreme-level farmer, it's just severely Not Fun as a tradeskill.) Title: Re: Developer Diary: Volume III Book 1 Quest Notes Post by: tazelbain on February 24, 2010, 09:12:21 AM >and can be used by Cooks in a few exciting new dishes.
BAM! Title: Re: Developer Diary: Volume III Book 1 Quest Notes Post by: Stormwaltz on February 25, 2010, 09:22:39 PM Volume III goes live this Monday.
Patch notes.
