Lord Of The Rings Online Continues To Tweak Delving And Other Gameplay Systems
The Lord of the Rings Online developers continue to work on attaining the perfect balance for Before the Shadow’s new Delving System in the latest update for the long-running Lord of the Rings MMORPG. Update 34.1.1 went live earlier this week with various adjustments to the new mission difficulty system, which included tweaks for several debuffs, updated icons, and a fix for lingering delving stones.
The update also introduced balance adjustments to other gameplay systems, including lowering the level requirement to use the morale-restoring Superior Doomfold Athelas Essence from 115 to 110. The The first and second tiers of the Sarch Vorn instance is also now open to players below level 140 and the Grey Fear encounter has been slightly nerfed for both solo and duo versions of the instance. Gorwen now also grants a defensive aura to make the fight easier for certain class builds and specs.
Also, water effects have now been re-enabled in Middle-Earth after they were unceremoniously removed when Before the Shadow launched last month. Yuletide is also back for the holidays with new rewards for players to earn.
