Return to Moria expantions / updates?

[Armaggeddon]

Expand into lower areas of Moria, make them bigger with more stuff. seeing some of the actual Unnamed maybe fighting a few of the bigger ones? and making the campaign setting at least half as large as the the sandbox.

more weapon enchants and be able to enchant a bow maybe? or the ammo?

Maybe more songs added to sign while drinking and mining

The ability to NAME a magical weapon. this is just a few, more to come, reach out if you want them sooner.

Fixing the map to properly display the multi-level areas that are imposed over each other, maybe a lvl marker (3d?). Just some ideas..

I am looking forward to seeing the Endless Stair with what remains of Durin's Tower, and maybe the corpse of the Balrog lying down there in the snow?

Archery could use an overhaul for sure; the ammo is so hard to come by that I never use bows or crossbows.

And yes, a 3D map similar to this of Deep Rock Galactic would be SO good.

i think the lore has that the endless stair got destroyed during the fight Gandalf vs Balrog?
but yes i would like to have more enchants or naming weapons and stuff like that

Not true. Almost all orcs drop arrows. I got 99 of tier 4 just by farming them from hoards and enemy orc patrols. I actually physically never had to make arrows..lol.

the endless stair would be fun AND it was not destroyed....and the balrog corpse sure why not? And I hate the bow the crossbow is much better but yes ammo is hard to come by sometimes, I was thinking flame, ice or lighting bolts for the crossbow would be fun.

Problem is that the Khazad Arrows from Orc loot are only Tier IV, there are no Tier V or even VI arrows. And because they are Tier IV and your Hunting Bow is even lower, even these best arrows do low damage to the endgame Shadow and Gundabad Orcs, even less against drakes and dragons. Crossbow bolts go up to Tier V but are hard to come by and expensive to craft.

So ranged weapons need an overhaul... one bow/crossbow for every tier, and bolts/arrows for every tier. I'd love to have a Mithril Crossbow with bolts.

If I remember correctly, the top of Durin's Tower was blown off during the fight, but the Endless Stair should still be intact.

[Armaggeddon]

The stair was damaged not destroyed. and I'm think an audible warning to I'm gonna die from no food would be nice as well....maybe "I'm Hungry"

I got lots of tier 4 and 5 both. if you farm from shadow orcs, they drop tier 5 arrows. Starting a hoard is a great way to farm them too. Of course if you defeated the boss of them, there are still patrols around you can hunt.

Also, try destroying skeletons with arrows in them on the ground. Another way you can farm arrows from.

The problem is still that there are no upper Tier ranged weapons and arrows to make them worth the trouble.

We have one bow, the Hunting Bow (T2), and three arrow types: Arrows (T2, these are the ones you get from skeletons on the ground, too), Elven Arrows (T3) and Khazâd Arrows (T4).

Then we have one crossbow, the First Age Crossbow (T3), and three bolt types: First Age Bolts (T3), Khazâd Bolts (T4) and Nogrod Bolts (T5).

Every type of arrow you collect from the ground and shoot from your Hunting Bow will be a far too low of a tier for Shadow Orcs and Gundabad Orcs, meaning the already low damage will be gray and so reduced. The bolts do better but are so expensive to craft, and the feathers are a pain to find. I'd love to see a T6 Mithril Crossbow with Tier 6 bolts, and bolts should be made in batches of 30, not 15, to make them somewhat easier to get. I totally stopped using ranged weapons.

Still works on some bosses to use arrows on them. Plus you can use them all on bosses and if you do not want them, good way to get rid of them.

It would be very interesting to get some Return to Lorien, with elves, and then Return to the Shire for Hobbits, Return to Gondor for Huma, Return to Mordor and play orcs etc......the game is really good and it could be extended to all races of the middle earth
