First Lamannia Pass Coming This Week

“U39 systems Preview is tentatively scheduled to be open from Tuesday June 19th-Thursday June 21st. Highly subject to change based on both feature readiness and build stability.”

From Lynabell

“U39 will contain a classic pack gear revamp – details to come soon!”

“It’s Phiarlan Carnival, the heroic items. The numbers will be up when Lamannia notes are posted (before you ask, no ETA on those – don’t kill the messenger!)”

“As with all old loot revamps, you’ll need to reacquire these items to get the updated versions.“

LOTRO Dev Comes To The DarkSide Fants working on updating older quests to fix performance issues

“This is something we have been actively looking to revamp. I can’t give you a time frame as it involves several different people, but rest assured, your voices have not fallen on deaf ears.

Depending on the difficulty of the fix and the time it would take to implement, we have been going through some of the older content and bringing it up to speed. At the very least, we have been focused on making sure everything is at least playable on players computers. This past update [u38] saw some visual and performance updates to Spies in the House. The new update [u39] will contain a complete graphical overhaul of Black Loch, with both increased performance and visual fidelity. We have been taking a look at several other big offenders (Yester Hill, Thunderholm, Raids in general) but the extent of changes to these spaces and time frame haven’t been solidified yet.TLDR: We are working on it.”

Knockback On Update 39

To help clear things up for folks:

We’ve never done a pack like this before in the free-to-play era, and we understand that the setup is a little unusual. But we hope the people who have been waiting patiently for something different to play at level 6 or new loot in the low epics will appreciate it.

Loving Heroclix – will certainly be on the lookout for this game to demo at Gencon, assuming they show it off there…. (they’re not doing Heroclix events at Gencon this year *sadface* )
