ibfe77 Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Nice pictures Pontin, this is also one of my absolute favorite places to go, but i prefer the old forest cemetery, did you go there too? Spoiler To add something, this is also a spot i really like, pretty nice views from here. It's above the festival garden in Duillont Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibfe77 Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 The douche-bags at Standing Still Games ruined this once so cool place for explorers, the ruins in Haudh lin in Ered Luin. They made a real jungle out of this place Before, until a few months ago: Spoiler Now, after one of the last updates: Spoiler What a senseless change...

Brystan_ Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 An Area in Western Balewood where you encounter Undiscovered Territory, access is easy and doesnt require any mods. Co-ords approx 33.7S 74.8W at border Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for sharing, Brystan. This is one of a few hidden areas that do not even require a single jump. However, I doubt that anyone in this thread is using mods to reach certain areas. Many routes involve difficult jumps and/or techniques which most players do not know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibfe77 Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 While browsing the offical forums the other day i came up with a completely random thought - has anyone ever been out exploring and having Erebrandirs Horseshoe equipped? I doubt it will have any effect, but who knows, this thing sometimes changes little things in the game, like giving a buff, changes lines in quest texts or spawning extra NPCs. They never said what all of it's effects are... I equipped it and tried to visit hobbit & squirrels but no luck, invisible wall still wouldn't let me pass, and escaping in the southern lone-lands towards the hidden village still resulted in a port. Anyone tried this also in other places? I know it is a total crazy idea, but hey, who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayOrGrey Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 New to exploration and this forum. I had done some exploration before but I didn't quite know many exit points until I found this thread (and some others from Google). With the help of ibfe77, I learned a lot about jumping mechanics and exit points so I could explore the Middle-Earth more thoroughly. The first five screenshots are recent and were taken while exploring with ibfe77. Screenshots of the north of the Trollshaws were with my other friend. I know these pictures are nothing new but it doesn't hurt to bring some activity to this thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LasraelLarson Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 since photobucket no longer allows remote loading of images, testing out if new site works as see lots of old posts with dead photo links. Mirkwood at night is kinda impressive around Dol Guldur areas: so that works, nice to have a freeloading photo site that works /end test post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadis Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Apparently SSG™ have now decided to destroy the older regions of the game by changing the terrain, adding useless frills and even more invisible walls. Details in this thread on the OF. RIP Bree-land and Ered Luin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibfe77 Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Whoa yeah, this sucks hard. Hate how all the butt-munches in the comments are whining "thank you for this and welcome back blabla", pure cancer. When will this shit go live? Because i haven't played seriously in a long time anyway, but when i am finally no longer able to reach the off-map places in the old regions, i will be completely done with this crapfest that has once been a great game.

Jadis Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 It's already on Bullroarer and will go live with the next update 22.2. They want to continue this bullshit and ruin the remaining regions in the following updates. Quote In southern Ered Luin, we have begun the process of recomposing the look of the mountains surrounding the playable areas to match our current standards "Current standards" = copy paste Mordor mountain, copy paste Gondor trees, add invisible walls everywhere around Nen Hilith in current live version: New version: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibfe77 Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Uhm... what?? Think i have seen enough, if this will come i'm done with the game. Content has already been very poor over the last years, the only thing that still stood out were the old regions, even when they reworked and watered down the quest content there. But even just riding around there gave me that nostalgic feeling from days long ago again. The old areas were unique, each one for itself. Can't believe how all the douche bags in the OF celebrate that copy/paste bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This update just takes it to a whole new level of bad, like Half-Life 2 Cinematic mod levels of bad. Actually the update is infinitely worse compared to the cinematic mod because nobody is forcing you to install it, you just have droves of idiots recommending it. As a reference to those who are not familiar with Half-Life 2 & the Cinematic mod, I have included a comparison shot of vanilla HL2 and cinematic mod below.

ibfe77 Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Jadis, since you are on Bullroarer, did you already find the abandoned camp 2.0 in Andrath ? Is it worth seeing it? What about the oldforest cemetery, is it still there? RubenRyb aka Yao, an old explorer from the old Lotrolife hobbit&squirrels thread has commented on the OF about the updates...

In the meantime, it would make sense to test if areas are still accessible on the live servers. Only yesterday I noticed that it is no longer possible to enter the Unexplored Territory surrounding the hidden village in the southern Lone-Lands. 18 hours ago, ibfe77 said: RubenRyb aka Yao, an old explorer from the old Lotrolife hobbit&squirrels thread has commented on the OF about the updates... I appreciate his attempt to convince the developer not to add any additional walls. It seems that other explorers have also expressed their concerns but, judging by the developer's reply on the issue, I doubt it will have any effect. Posting screenshots of off-map places on the OF will only cause more invisible walls to appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those places would soon be gone forever or at least gated out of the gaming world anyway it seems, so this last attempt by some players to save them won't matter. Over the last years screenshots of off-map places on the OF would have been a really bad idea, now maybe they see how much love people feel for this places...
