Feedback Reviews This week we did not receive any reviews on iTunes. Emails Sullo writes: “Dear LOTRO Players News, Yesterday I completed a solo run of the Helm’s Dike Epic Battle, and I must say I did rather well for myself: a Gold and two Platinum merit ratings on the side quests, and a Gold merit rating overall. Not too shabby. I also got some of those new Reward Boxes introduced with Update 15. Having opened a few of these, I was expecting some Stars of Merit, and maybe a piece of jewelry. What I found completely shocked me. Not only did I receive Stars of Merit, but one of the boxes also contained a – get this – Blemished Symbol of the Elder King. A level 100 First Age symbol, from a solo Epic Battle! I couldn’t believe it. (screenshot attached) Understand that I’m not trying to brag here. My experience up to this point has been that FA symbols were somewhat difficult to obtain. I had heard of FA symbols dropping from the Deeping Wall raid, but never from a solo Epic Battle. Prior to U14.2, I had run over a dozen T1 Ost Dunhoth raids to get a single FA symbol for myself, and that was with a full raid. While I won’t claim to be an expert on Epic Battles, I am a Rank 6 Engineer, so I’ve spent a decent amount of time to become “good” at these things. Do I feel I earned the Platinum ratings? Yes. Should players receive FA symbols for running solo content? I’m not sure how I feel about that. You have touched on topics such as risk vs. reward and “easy mode” in the past. I decided to share this with you in the hope that it leads to some interesting discussion. What do you think? Regards, Sullo of Landroval P.S. Don’t hate me! The RNG did it! :)” Contact Us Email us! podcast@lotroplayers.com Follow us on Twitter!
