The LOTRO Game Servers will be brought down on Wednesday, February 13 from 6:00 AM - 12:00 PM Eastern (-5 GMT) to launch the latest free content update, Book 12: The Ashen Wastes!
Of immediate interest for our community:
User Interface
General
Quickslot bars which are not visible (because they're docked or not set to always be visible) no longer show a drag box when in ctrl-\ mode.
The Alert panel now hides correctly when you hit F12.
Your traits are now listed alphabetically when viewed through a Bard’s trait interface.
Long descriptions in the progress bar for skills are now truncated with an ellipsis (...).
The “audio options” section now has categorized options.
The "stack-split" dialog box has gotten some attention:
Handy buttons to add or subtract from the current amount
The "Full/Half" button has been split into three: Full, Half, None. Pushing one of those buttons puts the full amount, half of the amount, or (you guessed it) zero into the amount field
The "Enter" key is the same as clicking the "OK" button
Fixed some previous UI items with no skinning tags.
Added new UI Options for enabling/disabling Floating Experience, Floating Reputation, Floating Destiny, and Floating Renown/Infamy.
Added the level requirement for bank upgrades to the text on the bank UI to eliminate confusion.
Fixed a UI issue when the bug submission UI was opened while the help UI is open.
We've shortened the message for entering and leaving a chat channel. Instead of "You have entered the..." or "You have left the..." it now says "Entered the..." and "Left the..."
Map notes are easier to mouse over now.
The maximum ignore list size has been reduced to 200 entries. If you’re already above this number, you’ll need to remove entries until you’re below the new limit before you can add any new names to the list.
Character, cosmetic inventory, and barbershop panels have been updated. Fellowship
You can now map the fellowship target marking commands to specific keys in the Options panel (ctrl-o) under the Key-mapping tab.
Fixed: Map tracking of fellowship members would occasionally become inconsistent for a player who joins and leaves a fellowship quickly. Tooltips
Traits and characteristics no longer say "On Use:" in their examination tooltips.
The vital bar in tooltips is no longer overly wide, and doesn't have vertical lines in its background anymore.
Word-wrapping and truncation has been improved in many tooltips.
Skills which have an additional effect when you attack from the correct position now include this information in their tooltips.
Various potions including Fire and light oils now display duration in their tooltips.
The tooltips for some virtues no longer have their rank split across multiple lines.
The tooltips on invokable items should read much more clearly now.
All instances of skill tooltips that have a radius now correctly display that the radius is measured in meters.
The tooltip of skills requiring a material component, such as the travel skills, will now highlight the missing components in red.
Clicking on a title alert will now show you the new title when it opens the title panel.
You can now click on your mount to dismount while in combat.You can read the full patch notes here (http://www.lotrointerface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=533).
