No offers not much gameplay while raids take too long

Gameplay is fun but you can finish your daily quests in a few mins. The raids can take too long because of rng and they never spawn the same enemies. For a mobile game that’s in it to make money there haven’t been any offers in months. I’m no whale but I don’t mind spending on a game I enjoy. There’s so much potential but it seems the devs want this game to fail. Since the launch raids have been the only real addition to the game, unless you consider marquee events when they release new toons. Since the beginning of December there hasn’t been any new information on where the game is headed except for one post on their X page. I never witnessed a game more neglected by devs especially when you consider the rich history of LOTR. It’s extremely sad to see a game with so much potential to be treated like this. It’s like the game is something they really could care less about

MissedPotential

This game, like SWGOH, has so much potential. I mean come on, who could screw up Star Wars or Tolkien lore? Enter Capital Games. Other than Activision, I can’t think of a company that hates/neglects/abuses its player base more. I will focus just on this game now. First and foremost, the game crashes nonstop. I have played on a brand new iPad, brand new iPhone 13, and iPhone XR. Same crashes. No difference across devices. There is nothing like losing arena tickets because of a game crash (and I am in gold ranking so I do care about my tickets). How about getting almost through a grueling raid just for the game to crash and have to start over? Speaking of raids, that’s essentially the only game content. Arena and a single boring raid. Want to make your characters better? Better plan on buying lots of gold with real money because they don’t give crap for gold in game. Oh yeah, you guessed it, gold is the driving force behind all upgrades in the game. I never thought I would say this about Lord of the Rings, but pass over this one until they do a complete overhaul (never gonna happen).

Just OK Right Now

The game is fun when there are things to do. Collecting characters is fun, but it there is currently a major major major drought of content to use any of the heroes for. On top of that, nearly every character added is given to every player at 3 stars for free. There is NO FUN in being given every new character for free. None. It defeats the purpose of a game where you have to work towards collecting your desired characters. On top of this, the game runs pretty terribly. Lots of lag, especially when quitting and retrying fights in the raid. Some common, but frustrating graphical issues, such as icons disappearing and having to restart the game to make them appear again. Infinite load screens that are only solved by a restart. Minor issues, but they get quite frustrating when you just want to play the game.

I have no issues with the graphics, no issues with the gameplay and no issues with the characters they’ve added to the game thus far. Just give us something to do with them!!

Solid LOTR RPG Game But Lacking Content & a Few Issues

I understand the game is still somewhat new but it has the potential to draw a massive crowd if things are done correctly.

Some issues are…

Currently, gold is way too hard to obtain without spending tons of money. I don’t want gold requirements to be nerfed severely but it’s incredibly expensive right now.

Some of the best Hero shards cannot be obtained unless you spend a buttload of gems (aka real money)

The game needs more content that’s F2P or somewhat. You have your light and shadow campaign that lasts you a month maybe if F2P. Guild missions that end a bit sooner usually. After that you can only play one arena (pvp) game every 15 min with a max of 5 per 24 hours unless you spend gems. After that you get to do a guild Raid usually once per week or so that lasts 24 hours per stage (most guilds will clear maybe chapter 1 on average)
Besides that there is nothing else to do.

The game itself, mechanics, characters, gameplay, etc… is incredible so it 100% has the ability to be a big time hit but it really needs more content to play. Hopefully in time!

I definitely recommend playing it though even if you don’t do much besides the F2P stuff. That way you’ll have a head start for when the game has more playable content and game modes.

Great game but…..

So far the only gripe I have about the game now that I’ve played it a decent amount is whenever and I mean this could happen whenever is that it will freeze up or be like stuck or stalled out at any moment wether I’m loading something or playing a battle when I’m playing a battle I’ll beat all the enemies at a specific stage then my guys will just be standing there endlessly not progressing to the next stage and I have completely restart the app and do it all over again just for it to do the same thing 5 times out of 10 and the same problem will happen sometimes as well when it brings up the loading ring symbol it will just be stuck on that and I have do the same thing close it and re open the app to hopefully get pass that but sometimes it will do right all over again other then that I love it but I’m bias cause I love Lord of the Rings
