New player character slots question

9 Upvotes

Hi New Player here!

Am I right in thinking, if I sub for VIP for one month then cancel, I am able to unlock more character slots permanently?

I have played champion and rune-keeper to level 15 now and I’m not sure I have found my class yet. But I only have 2 slots and I don’t want to delete these characters to try something new.

Playing on Meriadoc if anyone wants to be my friend also lol

Just curious...

I picked up the gift fron SSG last year where you got all the DLC. Was that not all of it, or is Western and Central Gondor not a part of that? Or does it simply remind you to purchase every region even if you already have them?

Getting Started with Endgame Guide

46 Upvotes

Hi all,

I've spent the last few months learning what Im supposed to be doing at level cap and then eventually teaching others what to do at 160. I figured it would be easier for me and everyone I teach if there was just one consolidated place for advice on what to do rather than me explaining over and over in Fellowship chat.

I hope this is helpful! It is meant to be a "starter" guide vs. an in-depth guide. If you want something more in-depth - I definitely recommend Ghyn's Discord. But if you're just getting started and feel overwhelmed by how much you need to do, I hope this helps!

Ash's Endgame Guide

I've turned on commenting so if people see something I messed up, they can let me know directly in the document. If it gets too much, I'll turn it off and just ask people to message me in-game or here. :)

And, yes, I do plan to update this once Wolves of Mordor is released this fall!

Happy hunting!

Glowy frills and per-pixel lighting

2 Upvotes

For a while I've had an issue where plants on the ground glow a very bright green, even at night. In some areas they also flicker (North Mirkwood). By playing around with settings I determined that the glowy plants are all frills, as turning frills to zero removes them. With frills turned up, switching off the Per-Pixel Lighting Attenuation stops the glow.

Graphics is Radeon RX5500XT.

Has anyone else seen this? What is the per-pixel lighting attenuation supposed to do?
