Happy Friday! We have a few updates to share for this week’s Wrap-up, plus a sweet deck we built with the community on this week’s stream. Read on!
Connection Issues
As some of you may know, we experienced some downtime earlier this week. Certain players were reporting that the game would not progress past “Releasing the Nazgûl” on the loading screen.
The issue was resolved with a hotfix on Wednesday night. If you’re still experiencing issues, please verify your local files. If that still doesn’t work, please let us know by filing a request with Helpshift. We’ll get you sorted right away.
Upcoming Content
On this week’s stream, we talked a little about the incoming Encounters—the difficult single Quests that we’ll be releasing to everyone as free content coming soon.
These Encounters will serve as difficult puzzles, but they’ll also be the place that we experiment with the design of The Lord of the Rings: Living Card Game. You’ll see strange mechanics, cool objectives and enemies, and self-contained stories that wouldn’t otherwise fit in with the game’s narrative. Plus, they’ll take players to cool new locations. On Tuesday’s stream, we showed an exclusive first look at one of those new environments. Head to twitch.tv/ffigames to see!
Con of the Rings
Fantasy Flight Interactive will be at the upcoming The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game fan-convention, Con of the Rings! We’ll have computers set up so attendees can try The Lord for the Rings: Living Card Game. If you see us, say hi!

For Gondor! For Gondor…Again!
Enjoying last week’s new cards? User Shoreless certainly is, making good use of the powerful battle cry For Gondor and buffing his team twice against Ungoliant’s Spawn!
Have a great weekend, everyone.
