Lord of the Hunt
I noticed that your runes aren't shared from the main story to Lord of the Hunt. Just wondering why this is.

Because it's a separate campagin. Guess it would have been too much work for them to actually add the DLC to the main game.

Very sad. I had some nice runes. I'm guessing the trials that are included in Lord of the Hunt only use Lord of the Hunt runes too?

I'd say so, yes, but I don't know.

Man this is ♥♥♥♥! Why isnt it integrated?! Very disappointing.

I thought I was doing something wrong. Very disappointing to not be able to transfer the ruines. What is the point of getting them if you can only use them all after you complete the DLC?

Thx for the heads up i wont be buying it unless it is integrated or its on sale. my guess in the spring or summer.

I have to say this killed the DLC for me too. I actually spent nearly 2 hours farming for epic runes so that I could have the best possible build to play through the new story campaign with only to find that they just give you blank slate with only Runes that you've purchased via DLC. What's worse is that you can only use the Lord of the Hunt skin with it. I wanted to sneak around on caragaths with my middle-earth Sith Lord da[HEARTS]mmit >=(

In my opinion the best way to implement this new campaign would be the way they implemented the challenge mode (although that was a bull[HEARTS!!!] piece of DLC for other reasons...) which limited the game map but at least allowed you to use the build you created in the main story, and vice-versa. Granted i know little to nothing about game programming but I dont understand how they couldn't do something similar by making the 'Lord of the Hunt' DLC mode a standalone map that included the new beasts and beast-rider orcs and the new story missions, while allowing transfer of your saved runes and abilities. My only guesses are that they required a re-worked version of the engine to allow the beast-riders or they didn't want to make players complete the main story and max out their character before you could access the new content. But other games do this all the time, so why they felt they had to be more accessible is beyond me. The whole marketing strategies behind this game simply baffle me. BUT I GUESS THE JOKE'S ON ME BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE [HEARTS!!!!!!1!one] THING

No wonder I am dying so much so early on! I haven't played it for a while so a bit rusty but I had a good rune that gave me full health back when I hit 30x on combo!

Please, if someone from monolith reads that, include the next DLC in the main game!! Please!!

You don't even need that many runes for this, I only collected about 5 for the whole play through. I've more now tho, I don't play the other side anymore.

Edit: 5 before killing the warcheifs.

I don't understand why you would want to go into what is basically a new game all super op and unkillable, i personally don't use runes because otherwise i get too powerful and it ruins the fun
