Lost Vale News and Updates

[Nevermore2000]

Not sure if I like the idea of a very hard dungeon with so many sets and mats for rings to grind. This is a PVP game and when people will grind constantly in those dungeons to get all the gear then those people are missing in RVR.

Also, for players that do not have the time nor the ressources to play in coordinated guild setups, this dungeon will lead to frustration because you will hit the ceiling every time. Maybe you beat the first bosses but then you will fail later. People rage quit, then the rest of the group misses a healer or tank and can't proceed. We see this already in HV and BS. The coordinated guilds will be geared while pugs will have a hard time after some time to even find players to run this dungeon. Even today finding healers and tanks for HV can literally take days.

Dungeons in RoR should be a nice addition to PVP but should not force people to grind them for certain items or mats. And you should not already be (almost) in your end game gear to even have a chance to survive a dungeon. I would be fine if the dungeon dropped cosmetic items. Then end game players could grind those without getting an edge over pugs that have a hard time to even finish such a dungeon once.

I love the new system where you find only broken items you can trade for 3 different sets. I wish all content was like this.

Really looking forward to testing myself in Lost Valley! While I rarely agree with class balance decisions (RIP Slayer), I have to say I’m genuinely impressed with the PvE side of things. Thanks for all the hard work — diving back into that instance is going to be pure joy!

If you don't like it, don't play it.

doues it ask some previous gear to use darkpromise gear? like it is with hv gear? and what gear will it ask?

You'll need invader ward to wear it, as far as I know.

Some players enjoy running the PvE content. I mean, it isn't like the RvR 'Blob Fest' is going anywhere.

The Lost Vale was a fun dungeon to run, and I have no doubt will be again.

I just hope that the PvP stuff is better than the dungeon stuff. I have no desire for PvE, that's why I play this game... . I think the development is great from a game technical point of view and respect for all the work! Personally, I would like to see a push of the Ranked or simply more SC events. It's difficult when you've only managed one ranked game in 3 years and every patch is more PvE.

I m very excited to return to lost vale. I just hope the OG dungeon bugs are fixed

DRUCHII!
Thank you @Rubius and all Return of Reckoning staff.
I really cant wait for this Lost Vale to launch, it sounds very exciting.

I'm really glad that we're going to be able to finally get rings outside of Twilights Tide, it provides an easier way to get access to the critical gear bonus (1%) that only the richest ROR players can afford with the Twilight Tide rings (costing thousands upon thousands of gold).

Also providing access to liniments through the dungeon helps provide encouragement to players to keep coming back to Lost Value, which helps encourage more runs for other players trying to get the rings or the Vale Walker transmog,etc.

I think dungeons should provide valid incentives to help players come back, not think that they're done with it finally and they never have to do it again.

The changes listed for Lost Value are great and I can't wait to see it launch.

For the Dark Elves! For Naggaroth! For the Witch King Malekith!
