Lord of the Rings Online Reverts Some Of Update 35.0.1’s Monster Buffs

Last week’s Lord of the Ring Online patch buffed monsters to a considerable degree by increasing their health, morale, and damage mitigation. The buffs were scaled so that higher-level mobs received bigger buffs compared to lower-level ones.

While some players were more than happy to take on the buffed-up mobs, most of the playerbase didn’t care too much for the added challenge. In response, the team decided to walk back some of the changes.

“We have taken some steps today to adjust the mitigations and morale increases that debuted with Update 35.0.1,” announced Standing Stone. “These adjustments are now in effect on the live game worlds. The mitigation increase is being rolled back to pre-update numbers, and the morale increase is being lowered from +25% to +15%. We will continue to look into game balance in the future.”

Details can be found on the Lord of the Rings Online official site.
