Your first day in season 2 [wish I had known...]

My recommendations for players starting season 2 for the very first time in Lord of the Rings: War. Although I'm playing on a 'role-play' server, this guidance is relevant to both server types.

HOPEFULLY THIS GUIDE HELPS FOR YOUR **FIRST DAY** IN SEASON 2! I know that a full guide explaining all the differences about season 2 would also be helpful (it's on my to-do list). It's worth mentioning that I'm in a role-play server, and I didn't mention the loyalty 10 items because they're not terribly relevant to most players (will cover in another video soon).

[@asizzlesu2639]

We need more Rise to War content! and Happy holidays to you and yours Chisgule!

[@therealcatdied]

Great to see you making more RTW vids! :)

[@borcsaster]

Thank you for this 'reset the ring' idea! 💯👍..I haven't thought abou it 🙈🙏

[@davidvoss3247]

I’ve been in season 2 for over a month now, but I still wanted to watch this video!

[@justhere7392]

Hey chisgule! Thanks for your videos, good info and tips. Goodluck in gondor for season 2. I'm in gondor on my season 2 server and were getting hammered by everyone lol Side note: there is a purple accessory that gives you +resource gathering. So you don't have to refine/strengthen a yellow but a purple. (A lot easier to accomplish imo)

[@zbos364]

Yeah I got one

[@KedrigernGaming]

I needed this 6 days ago :/ But luckily I have done everything you said already (on the first day I was up for 21 hours to maximize the gain from the boosts). Also, I only focus on 2 commanders (Gandalf, Theo) as I simply can't get enough troops for 3. Takes too long. As for Eowyn: she's fine without cavalry as well with the shieldmaiden skill. I still use Theoden. Cavalry is expensive, takes time to get and to conscript but he's my best commander by far. What is ridiculous though is how many players there are. We ran out of tiles in a few days. There are no decent tiles under 200 power now. So grab what you can fast.

[@MrGonzoron]

With a good fellowship you should work together to get the high tile for mock battles. Several can hit the tile together.

[@dominikliedl4891]

Amazing tips. Thx and let us smash our enemies :)

[@fozvii1544]

My biggest mistake/learning curve was ping theoden end of last season and pumped to use him at the start of S2 so I went with all out cavalry, and having Dain at the start I still invested alot into dwarfs even tho I'm rohan for the second season running, I could have progressed alot faster early on if I played more sensible, heck, lesson learnt for S3 🤣

[@wezter96]

A video about the best keep bonuses would be interesting imo. Like tier list for keep bonuses ^^

[@lesmajors3025]

I'm enjoying your videos dude I didn't notice some things you recommended in season in season one we're not the best device.. But that's OK it's fun to learn from our mistakes.. Anyway my main question is you talk about just your faction commanders a lot.. Can you get in more depth about evil commanders.. Thank you..

[@andresv.9365]

Another tip: HOARD MATHOM COINS! The first special chest has the new commanders, and at least for Light Side it is totally worth it to hoard coins, even from the end of s1, to use them on this first special chest. The second chest is gear only with a slightly better drop for purple and golden gear, so its not really worth it at least for me... I had a really good first 24 hours this time, even managed to get to top 5 RP production, and it was mostly doing the same things you advice. I focused on 2 commanders (Gandalf and Arwen), abused Gathering on tiles as high as possible, and used a Stamina Potion too. I'm Rohan and the start is a little more rough, as it's t1 cavalry is not as cheap and it's not easy to keep low casualties with how squishy they are, but it's still doable. I hope we can get more of these LOTR videos man :)

[@dracoflame8780]

Thanks for the help. I managed to get 6500 power in the first 24hours

[@evyrrun2841]

Music at the beginning? Also loving the game, I also messed up Season 2 already but hey at least it's good to know.

[@jruz1738]

Cheers, good vid

[@bailey7479]

Just incase you didn't notice. But in season 2 you will not get resources from the Redbook even if you haven't finished it in season 1. You will only get respect items, gems, and equipment

[@Linnielucker]

Is this Information proofed?

[@rowansidebottom2373]

Man you got three fellowships man, hard to beat

[@kalenwheeler123]

I started at the end of season 2, then started learning the game season 2. I made my own fellowship, and the other fellowship in our faction is begging us to join them lol. My main commander is Haldir though... I kind of wish that I had more members in my fellowship

[@masonross8758]

I'm curious, how did you build your Gandalf now that you got him R7? Did you change it up a lot from when you had him when you were in Season 1 or did you pretty much keep him the same with some minor differences? I also don't know if you know this but you can see the max refine of equipment. If you go to your inventory and click the equipment you want, there is a little book on the top right, click that and the checkmark box that says see max level. Helps so much to see what you want to refine and what you don't want to.

[@chisguleplays]

The build depends on whether or not I'm fighting evil, check out my witch king vid : )

[@Invis77]

Chisgule are You gonna start on a new server soon? Or do You waiting already for season 3 to start?

[@racheltheradiant4675]

My season 2 starting coms are Legolas, Gandalf and now Aragorn. I also made the Eowyn-without-Cavs mistake 😂🤣

[@Mishro22]

How do you know when your server is going to the new season? Our server is still Season 1, we (Mordor) just took the ring a few days ago. How much longer do I have to do things like Red Book, hoard gems, etc?

[@Linnielucker]

I m interested too

[@janihaavisto79]

I can't use any of those good side troops for some reason. When i try they are in inventory but in grey, maybe because i didn't get into gondor. Had to pick Mordor. This game just became old news for me. Sucks to sit sidelines for 1 season before i can get my Gandalf and those to level up again.

[@CorrionReap]

no you cannot use good commanders on the evil side in an rp server....

[@kingsow0690]

What a about if a player is coming back to the game what tip you can give for that ?

[@youngphil4372]

Haha im your neighbor there just came over to See in its really you. Hey also leave some tiles for me:)

[@synx8505]

Great engagement in the video. A tip from one who makes educational videos. The zoom in and out thing…. How does that work for you? What is the purpose of it? Is it that important to zoom in at you as speaker from time to time? Have you made a survey of this from your followers perspective? Check at 12:24… when you zoom in. The viewer can’t see what you mean or refer too because of this zoom in and out thing you are doing. My tip is. Do smoother zoom overs if at all. I th8nk it is good enough for you to be in the right bottom corner and the whole gamescreen visual all the time. If you need something visual to happen, put in infographics like word-pop-ups, text boxes or some such. Why not have a disposition about what to zoom in at the game and when or when tomput in different objects to create activity to your videos. I understand that you decided to do this zoom in and out thing at post-production, because there was nothing visual happening except you talking. This can be changed or done differently with other methods than zooming slightly in to just zoom out again. Otherwise… useful content for new players like me, but the video manuscript disposition and post-production could be improved to make it even better and engaging. Keep it up!

[@RobotoGato1]

How/when does season 2 start

[@killer111357]

Curious about changing faction for S2. If for example Gondor in S1 decide to go Angmar for S2 will they all go to the same server?

[@Kanzu999]

People who pick RP go to the same server, and vice versa for people who don't pick RP, so a faction change will not make you go to another server than the others.

[@leinad8894]

are the only two commanders frodo & sam and denethor 💀💀💀

[@adam041994]

My season 2 started a month ago?

[@AlexanderGkamanis]

No regrets, we are professional brave warriors here. (lol)

[@MrJoe11120]

Time to represent 353. DAWN all the way

[@deathgameplay5795]

Yessir

[@captain5437]

I don't know why, but after S1 I only have one t2 commander (Gandalf). Do I really have to spend money to have a chance?

[@chisguleplays]

You don’t have to spend, focus on dwalin, eowyn, and gandalf

[@ldrgtz]

OMG I'm in this server hahah

[@synyzal772]

I wish they would make F2P servers. Hell, I assume lack of revenue is why they wouldn't but I'd pay an entry fee for the server if it meant there were no in-game purchases. I've made 3 accounts so far and had fun but each time one faction has had big spenders taking a huge early lead and everyone just fights other factions and hopes the big one doesn't come for them.

[@TheCanyon666]

did the same mistake with the commanders at the start ...

[@luislemer2419]

Also I gathered too early on 40 Power tiles, which I regret

[@chisguleplays]

Good callout

[@that_tikosh]

*chuckles in black speech* What is this healing you are talking about? :D

[@coryramsey4766]

Server 353 coming for you lol

[@huntsman528]

How do you have level 7 Gandalf and Arwen on a FTP account?

[@chisguleplays]

I am not free to play

[@Zorieke]

Only 2 commanders? I could choose from 2 good and 2 evil.

[@chisguleplays]

We did a role-play server, so only good or evil but not booth.

[@Zorieke]

@@chisguleplays ah that explains it. Thanks for the reply.

[@paclac7]

Did the gems are reseted?

[@chisguleplays]

double gems from purchases is reset, yes

[@dancampbell703]

Lmao I chose eowyn with Gondor and immediately regretted it

[@gandalfshallnotpass9585]

Why?

[@dancampbell703]

@@gandalfshallnotpass9585 just way too expensive early on. It’s not sustainable for the first 24-96 hours

[@gandalfshallnotpass9585]

Oh gotcha. I was wondering cause I'm doing the exact same thing right now. My season2 starts in 13 hours. But I will start with arwen and use eowyn later

[@dancampbell703]

@@gandalfshallnotpass9585 yeah that’s what I wish I did. Gtg and arwen. Especially with the improved half elven, very nice

Thanks for bringing whales with you, fucking up servers 😅😅

[@WizzartBricks]

I wonder what your in game name is. Is it maybe Oilyfarts?

[@Lesauceify]

@@WizzartBricks It's not Oilyfarts, i think that guy is annoying as fuck.

[@chisguleplays]

Playing with a group is the META. You don't have to be a whale, or the best player on the earth, to be in a great group with strong players.

[@Lesauceify]

@@chisguleplays Yeah, and you get yours from your KZbin and Twitch.. not everybody has access to that kind of playerbase. It is not normal, it is inflated numbers from fame.

[@lezgistan6]

На одном сервере играем, только я в рохане

[@romancountyball2123]

Chisgule I'm in same server as you

[@georgiancountryball202]

Yeah same

[@radmanghorbani1868]

I just quit the game because everything, all the time and effort went reset,no point doing all those work again for nothing, this changing season method is bullshit and waste of the time
