This should now be fixed. As well, Lieutenants in the fourth assault had a bug in their paths that caused them to hang and make it appear as if the Skirmish was not completable.

        You can once again see partial match Fellowship Maneuver names when contributing.
        Fixed a bug that prevented weapon quest rewards from sorting properly in the vault.
        It will no longer be possible to get a trait stuck slotted if you no longer meet the requirements of it for any reason.

        Fixed an issue that was causing multiple copies of the same recipe to display in your crafting panel.

    Quests

        Fixed a bug that disallowed players who had skipped the early Books of Vol II but who complete the solo version Vol II, Book 8, Chapter 4 from accessing the Way of Smiths and thus blocked advancing Book 8 Chapter 5.


    Tasks

        The second tier of task deeds will now properly complete when players complete 2 tasks.

[Hara]

        Hatchling base & traited health has been increased by 1%
        Hatchling base damage has been increased by 1%

Les nouvelles instances ont déjà été visités par Casual Stroll to Mordor 

Attention, gros spoiler dans l'article, donc pour les moins curieux, voici juste la conclusion, ça semble être très sympa tout ça 

These are fun, short, easy instances. The rewards are nice too, costing several barter tokens (but not anywhere near the Update 2 Instance token amounts) and a large number of skirmish marks at the skirmish classic vendor. Some are geared towards the lower-levels that will more likely be running the instances, but a few items are also quite nice for maxed out characters. There is a chance for a superior third mark but it didn’t seem guaranteed. I wasn’t sure what the Challenge mode actually gave versus not doing it, as only one superior third mark ever dropped and only one person could loot it.

Regardless of rewards, the instances themselves are a blast to play, continuing the tradition from Update 2 of unique, well designed experiences that will be fun to repeat. Both have very specific tones that aren’t really found in much of the previous content and I look forward to running them again.

- Les potions d'Edhelarn (NdT: potions d'espoir) peuvent maintenant être empilées par 20.

Cool ça.

Au contraire, je trouve ca très (trop) peu. Quasiment toutes les popo s'empile en plus grand nombre, alors pourquoi pas les popo d'espoir? Quitte à augmenter la taille de la pile, ils auraient pu y aller un peu plus fort

[Kmachin]

Je ne comprendrai jamais la raison d'être des limites d'empilement d'un stack (autres que mécaniques, comme le fait qu'il soit codé sur un char, donc limité à 256, ou qu'il ne puisse pas y avoir plus de 3 digits affichables, limitant alors à 999 ...).
Qu'on ne me dise pas le réalisme, j'accepterai cette explication le jour (c'est à dire jamais) où le loot sera géré de manière réaliste de bout en bout. Chose qui n'est même pas souhaitable, car tellement chiante et restrictive que ça en deviendrait injouable. Donc quitte à ne pas être réaliste, autant être player friendly, plutôt que de mettre des limitations à la c**

[Kinoin]

Wooooo 

Goro qui approuve et Walm qui critique

A garder dans les annales

[Nekao]

Suis tout à fait d'accord avec toi, Kath ... pourquoi les popos à 50 ? et pas les symboles ?

[GorothTur]

En fait, j'approuve l'augmentation, même minuscule, de la pile  .

Mais c'est vrai que cette limitation justement (5,10,20,50,100...) c'est franchement bidon.

Pour ne pas altérer l'économie du jeu peut-être ? ... mouarf, l'argent ne sert plus à rien passé le niveau 10, encore moins si c'est un reroll.

Comme le fait remarquer @Kath, pour le réalisme? l'immersion? euh ... ou ça ? de mémoire, le seul jeu auquel j'ai joué qui gérait le poids de ce que l'on peut transporter c'est Oblivion, et c'est vrai que c'était bien chiant les aller-retours dongeon<>magasin  .

Ce n'est surement pas technique puisque les marques d'escarmouche s'empilent à plus de 10000 ... ou alors c'est codé encore pire que ce que j'imagine (et qui est déjà limite  )...

Bref, encore un truc sorti de l'esprit tordu (et probablement embrumé de substances illicites  ) d'un designer de chez Turbine ...
