Update 17.2 Beta #1 Release Notes & Known Issues - PRELIMINARY AND NON-FINAL - BULLROARER ONLY

Bullroarer is now open. Please join us this weekend to preview an Update 17.2 build. We welcome your feedback.

The following release notes are for the Bullroarer public test server only and may not reflect the final list of changes or updates included at release.


These notes are not final and should be viewed as a work in progress and subject to change.

The Eyes and Guard Tavern is now open!
For some players, our in-game bug reporting tool is failing to open. If you cannot access the bug reporting tool in-game, please visit http://lotrobugs.turbine.com/ to report a bug.
Copies to Bullroarer are currently unavailable.

Important Note: Please be aware that the build you are seeing here is a work in progress and is by no means the finished Update 17.2 product. There are items that are not yet complete. There may also be items missing from this initial list, this is not intentional and will be added as we progress.

Emote collection UI:
You can now see all emotes available to the free people of middle-earth in the Collections Panel.
  • In the new emote tab you can preview emotes, learn how to earn them, and perform emotes directly from this panel.
  • You can also drag emotes from this panel to your skill quickslots.
  • Please note that we are aware of an issue in this Bullroarer build where your emote collection window will not size properly on first opening (causing some emotes to be hidden). Resizing the Collection panel to any size by dragging the bottom corner will fix the problem.


Quests have been added in Minas Tirith:
  • A new public endgame space in the Cisterns is available.
  • New quests can be found near the Stone Theatre (in the northern 1st Tier), inside the Houses of Lore, inside the Houses of Healing, at the Citadel, at the Training Ground, and near the Baths of Belecthor (in the 4th Tier).
  • Stable travel options have been added in Minas Tirith.
  • If you have already completed all of his adventures, George at Sandson's Farm might just have a new one waiting in the wings.


Instances and Currency:
  • The barter costs for Anfalas Scrolls of Empowerment have been decreased.
  • Sambrog is now a more challenging instance and the Mark and Medallion rewards for Sambrog have been increased.
  • Dol Amroth Endgame Tokens:
    - Dol Amroth currency reward boxes (Armoury Box, Great Hall Box, etc.) no longer grant tokens of other faction. Instead, they will only contain Silver Tokens of Dol Amroth and the token appropriate for that faction. For example, Great Hall boxes will only contain Silver Tokens and Great Hall Tokens.
    - You may now exchange different Dol Amroth currencies for one another at a 2:1 ratio. The Pets barter vendor in the Court of the Fount is now the Pets and Currency Exchange vendor. He will trade 10 Dol Amroth tokens of any kind (except Gold) in exchange for a box that will let you select 5 Dol Amroth tokens of another type.


Housing:
  • Large and special furniture hooks now accept thin furniture.
  • All tree housing decorations now slot into small exterior hooks with the exception of Shire Oak Tree.
  • Gondorian candelabra lights when used.
  • Birch Trees now correctly use fall colors.


Classes:
  • All MELEE mounted combat skills now do more damage (including melee auto-attack). Melee damage should be approximately doubled.
  • Loremaster: Sign of Power: Command and Sign of Power: See All Ends now correctly apply Force of Will and Enfeeble simultaneously.
  • Minstrel: Soliloquy of Spirit no longer has idle time preventing other skills after executing.
  • Champion: Devastating, Brutal, and Ferocious Strikes have shorter action durations. These skills should feel less 'clunky'.
  • Lore-master: Giant Eagle pets with the Sacrifice skill active should again properly revive their defeated masters.
  • The Warden skills Brink of Victory and Surety of Death can no longer be Blocked, Parried, or Evaded, but can be Resisted.
  • Burglar: targets marked by "Coup De Grâce" should properly cause you to enter Stealth on defeat.
  • Burglars now have a ranged mounted combat damage skill - The Red Dawn version of All in the Wrist is now a ranged skill


Other Changes:
  • You can now give your pets names with "-" in them.
  • The Flirt emote nows plays flirt sound for all races.
  • Fishing - fishing line now shows properly.
  • The crafted coffee items now state that the speed buff is out-of-combat run speed only.
  • A black dye recipe has been added to the Scholar's Guild recipe vendor.
  • The Westemnet crafting journal recipes available at the Minas Tirith Quartermaster and the Helmingas Quartermaster no longer require Helmingas reputation.
  • Reputation gain has been added to Norcroft and Entwash Vale repeatable quests!
  • Reputation has been added to Eastern Rohan Warbands!
  • Removed the Mithril Travel option from III.2.6, since using it could remove you from the dungeon incorrectly.
  • Billboards in 'Instance: A Restful Night' now echo properly to the chat log.
  • The physics on the prisoners in the I.12.6 instance was making them appear outside their cells.
  • Quest titles in Volume II Book 4 now properly contain their chapter prefixes.
  • Langhar's animation was breaking during 'Instance: Hatred of Bear and Man,' but now it has been fixed.
  • KINSHIPS: The Founder title will be properly granted to Kin Founders who have transferred shards along with their Kinships. If the Kin leader at time of transfer was not the Founder, but received the Founder title, they will lose it.
