The Lord of the Rings Online’s expansion, Corsairs of Umbar, is now open for preorder ahead of its November 1st launch. Update 37.2, is also here, adding the Mariner class, class balance changes, tweaks to buffs, adjustments to the Forester event, and more.
Standing Stone Games has released a teaser trailer for the upcoming expansion. Showing off the very new terrain and wildlife we can expect, along with teases for the new content, including 350 new quests, ancient mysteries, political intrigue and additions to the overall narrative. Everyone is headed to the shores of Umbar and the City of the Corsairs. Investigate the mysterious Kindred of the Coin and the raids happening under cover of darkness.
The expansion also raises the level cap to 150, adds new enemies, and much more. Pre-orders are open for the Standard, Collectors, and Ultimate Fan bundles. The standard edition includes a few pre-order goodies, including an extra character slot, and the swashbuckler title and portrait frame, while the collectors edition includes all of the above, plus more goodies including a mount, the fennec fox pet, new titles and portrait frames, improved expedition supplies and lots more. The Ultimate Fan Bundle i all of that and much more.
The Mariner is a highlight of the new content, and the class’ release today is just the beginning. This sword-wielding melee-based class uses a special Balance mechanic in combat. Is a forward-backward system where you have three basic states. Your default Will Be steady state and the skills you choose to use will change your state to “Aftward” or “Foreward”. if you use too many skills that push you in one direction you will be off balance. Staying in or as close to “Steady” as possible is key.
The Mariner has three trait specializations–Shanty-caller, Duellist, and Rover. How you decide to specialize will determine how you compliment a group and whether you lean to support or want to remain more of a flexible melee with some clutch support abilities when needed.
A number of classes get a few updates and fixes, and the update also goes into improvements to the Forester event. certain quests were failing and certain restrictions were passable, so now the event will run every 21 minutes regardless of the number of participants, and all of the forests are tools that you can make and upgrade during the event are now account bound.
