LOTRO: U37 Beta New Lotro Store - First Look at a Massively Improved Lotro Store

[@TheUtopianHuman]

So before UI looked like it's from 2003 and now it looks like from 2008, which is an improvement I guess.

[@quinn1222]

So many exciting changes going on in LOTRO lately. Thank for all the update vids!

[@merickful]

This looks fantastic! Absolutely agreed, a great improvement! Loving the U37 updates. Thanks!!

The new design is fine, the prices are still ridiculously expensive. 50LP for a one time teleport map or 2000LP for a single mount. It's way too much, especially with all the nerfs they did to earning LP.

I hope this store upgrade, which is awesome, will mean more good things in the future with respect to the game's UI. I can't help but notice the parallels between the old store, with clunky navigation and long lists of stuff to scroll through, and the current LI panel or rewards track for example.

[@thatsoupguy]

thank you ghynghyn for covering the news

[@AliA-jn5ko]

I wish they would update the map UI first

[@Eccthelion]

this was a highly requested change, thank god we got this amazing store UI overhaul, we really couldnt live without this.. meanwhile 2 years after LI rework the inspect UI is still in alpha state 😂ssg priorities

UI is something that many Projects are waiting to receive work on, they just don’t have a dedicated employee to do this. Future Hirings or Outsourcing the work are their options, it’s just a matter of when.

[@doltonnoak2656]

Very nice. I would like the redeem core at the top instead of at the bottom and the "recent items" and "favs" to the right, next to the lotro points thing. Considering that all that i would change is this two small things, i think they did a really good job with the new store. 🙂👍

[@redjacc7581]

can we try on the cosmetics now? for some reason they turned off that function!

[@ghynghyn4706]

I don't think they have the tech to do that yet.

[@jordanazevedo5688]

@@ghynghyn4706that tech used to exist 😂

[@doltonnoak2656]

@@jordanazevedo5688 yeah, i remember we had like a clothes hanger icon and it would show the item

[@Countryboycrimson]

yeah, they shut that off but i can't remember why, i hope that function is available again with the new store

[@sde_15th_harvain12]

Previews for Items is something want to add, they just can’t right now. They’ve made icons bigger so one can see what the Item is.

[@redjacc7581]

Ghyn Ghyn :P

[@Golladan]

But will the store open in game if running the game from Steam? That'd be great.

[@ghynghyn4706]

I'm not sure about this one

[@sde_15th_harvain12]

It opens to the External Store just fine during U37’s first beta, so yes Steam which only uses the External Store should work with no issues.

[@Classic_DM]

I don't see any way to actually PREVIEW the items.

[@ghynghyn4706]

That's currently not a function that is available, afaik.

[@austinaigner4320]

it looks very nice but gives off a mobile game store type of vibe

[@markoosh]

Still no UI scaling for 4K gaming which is the average for most gamers with a job now.

[@dew-me7266]

I know college students who do better UI/UX than this. what a sham. also 2010 lotro store was amazing, at least there you could actually try on the outfits from the store. God damn it ssg.

[@choonblaze]

Unfortunately, they forcefully ruined the game and characters look with the avatar update. Forcing woke agendas on an already dead game isn't the wise move heh
