In the fantasy MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online, patch 16.1 was released last week, fixing numerous bugs and making balance changes – including to the instruments.
One has to give credit to The Lord of the Rings Online: Surely, no other game’s patch notes would include a section about the “balancing” of musical instruments. One tone is lowered in volume, while another should sound less metallic. The acoustic range is increased overall by double to 30 meters, the lute is nerfed, and the flute is buffed.
No question, The Lord of the Rings Online has a home for musicians.
But this is not all, may the gods drum for it. Extensive changes are taking place with patch 16.1. The perspective from the “third person” is now smoother, multiple call items can now be used at once, there are numerous fixes to the instances, and adjustments are made to the balancing screws regarding class abilities.
