The Lord of the Rings Online: Book 12 patch 1 update moved to March 13

We’re letting the readers know that the the planned patch update for The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar has been moved from today to tomorrow, March 13. This new patch will be carrying several new game fixes and improvements, some of which are viewable over in the full article.

If you were waiting for the new changes that were expected to take place today for Turbine Inc’s The Lord of the Rings Online, you may have to wait a little longer. Community moderator Saffron of the LotRO forums is sending word that the MMO’s Book 12 patch 1 update will be arriving tomorrow, March 13, instead of today.

As with its previous schedule, this update will be taking place from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. All the game servers, save for Roheryn, will be going down, so you’ll want to make some necessary adjustments to your schedule.

Now, in case you’re wondering what sort of tweaks are coming in with the new game patch, we’ve posted part of the changelog here for your viewing. The full list is available over at the the official LoTRO site via the source below. Keep posted in case we gate any more updates regarding the new patch.

• User Interface
• Pressing Delete in the crafting panel’s search box will now refresh the list just like any other key.
• Fixed an issue with the spar timer where it would sometimes appear to stop while sparring.
• Fixed a bug in the dressing room where body parts could vanish.
• If you try on an item in the dressing room it will now be displayed even if that slot has been toggled off on the character journal.
• Classes/Skills
• Ranged auto-attacks have had their miss rates increased when on the move.
• Quest items will no longer drop while in a raid unless the quest items are used for a raid quest.
• The range for melee conjunction skills has been increased to 2.5 meters to match the standard distance for all other melee attacks.
• Guardian Skill Updates:
• Movement effects have been prioritized to prevent lesser effects from overwriting more powerful effects.
• Thrill of Danger” has been fixed to drain power from monsters again instead of fellows (unfortunately it will also break mez again).
• Overpower” will no longer toggle off when a Guardian is silenced.
• The trait “Grim Challenge” will no longer reduce the cooldown of the skill Engage.
