5 Things We Need in 2.0! Lotr: Rise to War

[@DmonicBRUTALITY]

Good stuff on here, ATME. I've been yelling to the devs for weeks now about having a stamina indicator on the formation screen. I spend so much time having to swap out commanders

[@Eodefe-du6qx]

Completely agree with everything, main ones for me would be the chance to breakdown the relic and respect refund. For me the 30 day 2.0 testing period was a scam as I was too excited to get a tier 3 relic for the first time that I didn’t realise that it couldn’t be broken down. To make matters worse it also meant I couldn’t use the respect refund they gave me to break that commander down lower than r10 (to r3) anymore and use a more suited commander. The only other small thing I would add would be an indicator on the top right of the secondary commanders health, to help me avoid attacking with dead commanders.

[@Sadsicpoetry]

I agree with all your points, but I would like to add a few more! 1. Purple gear needs to be adjusted as it is now ridiculously weak compared to gold gear. If the purple gear could be buffed by 20-30% it would help all players as it is extremely hard (expensive) to equip 4 commanders in a formation. 2. Level cap 40 and exp through PVP - I really liked this change at first, but after facing a Kraken WB it completely killed the activity. Given the point above it took 8 low/mid spenders to get rid of a godly equipped enemy, which end up in a snowball system as we feed them XP --- therefore im asking for equal XP whether you lose or not to get rid of the extra advantage. 3. Balance Evil Side - Evil side feels completly dominated if you fight against good side.... or give Evil side a similar kit (like Gils evasion, White Council which is completly broken in my opinion, etc.)

[@spencergellner5471]

1. Agree definitely a small buff. 2. Exp is based off of units / commanders eliminated so I don't see where you want this to go. If anything the Exp changes made me as a low spender feel like I could compete for longer with the Whales. Sure they start to outpace you but 40 -43 was very balanced. 3. Evil side in a RP setting is definitely getting the raw end just by not having access to Dain and White council but its clear the devs are not supporting RP going forward.

[@Sadsicpoetry]

@@spencergellner5471 its a snowball effect. Im in a server were 8 people hitting the same target and to get rid of him. all teams are around lvl 38-40... The kraken gets almost half a million XP (8 x 60-70K XP) while the attackers get rougly 15k XP each. Therefore he will level much faster and it get harder and harder to defend beside the troops lost in the process...

[@spencergellner5471]

@@Sadsicpoetry I understand the snowball nature but what you are proposing is just a "participation trophy" of exp for getting waxxed. And honestly if you are having to 8 to 1 now you being higher level ain't gonna change that.

[@Sadsicpoetry]

@@spencergellner5471 true but fighting the target with 5-6 lvl difference is a waste of troops and therefore people abandoned the server 10-15 days into the season.... the gap is way to big in 2.0 and its even better not to fight so they are also capped at lvl 40 ... I understand tha 1.0 was probably unhealthy in terms of business model, as if you reached a certain peak there was no need to spend any money anymore but to me the activity/motivation has reached an alarming point ...

[@adamayermusic]

I feel like something they should add is hammers or respect vouchers along with major updates (like race requirements for gear) to allow for them to make changes for quality of life regularly without people being screwed by a huge meta change. They already send gems after server downtime, just add a couple of these items in the mail after balance updates (and having some in the store) means you can do more regular balance changes without people being screwed on their investments. I would spend/play more if I knew that balance in the game was a priority.

[@dwazigfruit]

I completely agree. I have a full troop damage team with great gear (3/4 star and refined gold) with Elrond, Gil, Celeborn and Cirdan and it gets the same result als my B-team with purple gear that is commander damage (Dain, Gimli, GTW, Imrahil). Its insane how my B team can compare with my r10 legendary team, while only having a Dain r5 and GTW r7

[@-3f-]

Omg omg If just one thing, then it must Be that stamina check on screen!!! Thank you for bringing it out!

[@racheltheradiant4675]

I'd love a formation preset where I can register the coms I want together and I can click it to assemble my team and troops, it's nerve wracking to scroll through coms while my city is getting attacked, for example. Also, I'd love gear presets (three would be good) where I can save my gear sets and swap them from com to com with one click instead of 4, especially when I'm swapping Siege gear. I also want universal respect vouchers to return.😢 Also can we get a way to mute World Chat? The red dot beckons me to click when I know I shouldn't....

[@paytonthomp]

How about reinforcing gameplay updates? Should be able to switch around formations in the field

[@IiIBakALiSaIiI]

COMPLETELY the things are everyone is asking for!!!!

[@doubleupload5620]

This won’t affect most people but if they want new players the main issue starting off unlocking 4 commanders much less good ones but you need to get higher respect to get above lvl 30 and 40 and pvp to 50 is awful as a f2p. If they made it so respect doesn’t cap your lvl and pve can get you to 45 or even just 43 it would go a long way of making the game playable for others not just whales

[@milkywaymaps]

All fantastic notes. Esp that 4th one

[@DanieleFalgueirettes]

Hallulya, I hope you can be right on at least two points! the first, ascension, the cost when I see to get my gimli you have to give 40 good dain, and as I use dain, you would have to be crazy not to put it on the T3 to have two more respects! Point two, thank you I spend my time looking at endurance if I can do training, sent eagles and how many breakages, and at times time is running out. And third point, for me it's the walking time, 24 minutes to cross 23 squares, I launch my commander and I come back because I'm going to spend 24 minutes seeing a commander walk like a snail, they who find that we're playing not enough and well, make the game more dynamic...

[@barabamoto126]

A trade system between players ! Like we can trade 1 gold and 3 purple on month .

[@thelonelystoner8183]

Agree with all the points bit would live for them to allow is to chamge formations without having to fully recall our to our keep

[@dwazigfruit]

I'd like to have more options to reinforce my formations in the field. The game is soo slow when i need to recall and reinforce my commanders after every hit they take. Why can't I lower my troops when awaiting reinforcements as well as we used to?

[@MeisterAndresen]

I’m just wondering as I’m new to the game, is it possible to make a updated video about some good knowledge to have and what to have my focus and. Where you should spend and who to level up. Formations for siege and speed. If you know what I’m talking about

[@spencergellner5471]

As someone Doing everything possible to make unit damage work with Azru kor and I still can only do about 75K to 80K on average. Unit damage will never rival commander damage so long as the damage range for unit across the board increases.

[@ArikDagen]

For that commander list should have Same three in the ball reg tier like you said and add Sauron and every other commander in the dustbin 😂

[@tlh59]

New player here I think in order for troops commander to be effective they need more synergie. Give commande clear take that for some scale and for some (dmg) don't.

[@spencergellner5471]

While I will agree some of the commander troop synergy numbers could be increased to provide better bonuses. The unfortunate truth is that units in general are doing significantly less damage and until those numbers are adjusted even good commanders like azru kor will always play third fiddle.

[@northernbloke6787]

The problem is the troops themselves rather than the commander skills.

[@patricklacey4946]

Agreed on all points but I would add one more thing, we need brackets to separate F2P , fish, dolphins, whales and Krakens. I have been in 4 seasons that have fallen apart after the first fight when F2P and fish realize they cant compete in 1v1 fights and cant out maneuver certain factions.

[@northernbloke6787]

Yes and no... Need all types but some matchmaking is needed. More so for player retention after S2. It's too hard for too many to compete.

[@alexc2203]

Or just make it so that the gold gear is only a little better than purple which is only a little better than blue. The gap between gear combined with the atrocious amount of respect needed to level commanders will price most people out of the game. Then people will start complaining about small servers and long bag end times....

[@northernbloke6787]

@@alexc2203 that's already happening. Only one full faction on the rebuilding glory starting in 3 days.

[@ArikDagen]

For the relics I just bit the bullet and broke down three relics I got some great pulls for gold gear in an pack opening so I needed the materials

[@JG-ty7py]

we need access to more hammers, 2 per season is not enough now with the 2.0 changes

[@northernbloke6787]

The t2 and t1 items just need to stay at 100 and 40 points. I'd be fine with that. It's still way lower than the 300 for t3 items.

[@Marko_ur]

Yeah also for RP players are frustrating pulling evil comanders … i get it they wanna more players in NRP becouse they spend more but some people wants play RP and not waste money for both sides. Especiely when i have my evil charakter and good charakter on account

[@SergiFont-dp2dt]

First season 2.0 playing a lot and i only got to 43 lvl comander. PvE should go further than 40 or we cant do anything against whales

[@MeatPopcicle]

Make Khaldoon good again lol.

[@milkywaymaps]

Yessss. It's sad

[@josipdautovic52]

I just want 10 mathom coins for 3 dollars on start of season back

[@Gfxtoolbox]

I knew why I quit the game. No chance that there is a coming back. So far I dont even know why people still play. Without matchmaking or atleast grouping whales into whales, etc. there is little hope for f2p and fish accounts to continue. Pure greed consumes the devs.
