fifth expansion for the <a href="/wiki/Massively_multiplayer_online_role-playing_game" title="Massively multiplayer online role-playing game">MMORPG</a> <i><a href="/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings_Online" title="The Lord of the Rings Online">The Lord of the Rings Online</a></i>. It was released on November 20, 2013, after it was postponed by two days from the original release date, due to a power outage. The expansion is available for download both on the web and on <a href="/wiki/Steam_(service)" title="Steam (service)">Steam</a>. The Battle at Helm's Deep is created in-game using refined technologies that Turbine created during the development of the expansion, which allow for a significantly larger amount of action and character models during a session. The new expansion increases the in-games level cap to 95, and one of the main new features is the ability to fight "epic"-scale battles such as the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Helm%27s_Deep" title="Battle of Helm's Deep">Battle of Helm's Deep</a>.

Before Eowyn and the refugees can depart, it is revealed that a servant of Wormtongue remained undiscovered in the city and is now actively engaging in both sabotage and murder. Before the spy can be apprehended, he flees Edoras and the player's party sets out to chase him through the lands of Westemnet, which are now besieged by the White Hand forces. After conversing with Thane Herubrand of Woodhurst and his son Herefara, they learn that a war band of Dunlendings bearing the sign of a Talon of the Falcon has been seen marauding in the area. Both the player and Nona desire revenge on the Falcon Clan, which had betrayed their Ranger friends to Saruman in <a href="/wiki/Dunland" class="mw-redirect" title="Dunland">Dunland</a>.

Seeing their situation hopeless, Elfhelm chose to retreat and, despite Grimbold's protests, took his men back into Rohan before Saruman's army poured through the Fords in their wake. Gandalf orders Elfhelm to protect Edoras, which now sits empty, and travels to the Fords to find Grimbold. His men almost all dead, Grimbold refuses to abandon the Fords, where Prince Theodred now lays buried.

Their plan to lead the refugees away through the secret mountain tunnels fails when it is revealed that those passages are already known to the enemy - a group of Dunlendings emerges in the caves from a direction though safe and is led by Lhue Brenin, the Chieftain of the Falcon clan. With Gimli's help, the player manages to slay him and exact vengeance upon the <a href="/wiki/Dunedain" class="mw-redirect" title="Dunedain">Dunedain</a> slain in Tal Methedras. As the dawn comes, Theoden chooses to ride forth with the remaining able riders and meet the enemy head-on.

In a section of the wall that escaped destruction by the Ents but is quickly being flooded, the Rangers begin opening prison cells until they finally discover a man in the signature Grey Company outfit. To their horror, the rescued prisoner is completely broken in body and mind alike: his face is mutilated beyond recognition and his shallow eyes do not seem to recognize his friends. He only manages to utter a single word before collapsing and passing away, a broken shadow of the strong-willed man Lothrandir once was. However, while mourning their fallen friend, the Rangers discover that it was not Lothrandir underneath the garbs. Despite using the magic to torture his body and mind in horrific ways, Saruman failed to break the Dunadan and in an act of corrupted twisted cruelty had him switch garbs with a prisoner from Dunland. Continuing the search, the player finally finds Lothrandir in another cell - beaten, bruised and weakened, but very much alive and sane. At the same time, Gandalf breaks Saruman's staff and casts him out the Order of the Wizards and the White Council. Treebeard promises to keep watch over the Wizard now trapped in his tower, while Pippin briefly comes in contact with the <a href="/wiki/Palant%C3%ADr" title="Palantír">Palantír</a> thrown out by Grima Wormtongue. Aragorn is much rejoiced over both finding his captured kinsman alive and ending Saruman's threat to Rohan and extends his thanks to all of his allies: the Fellowship, the Dunedain, the Rohirrim and the player alike. </p><p><i>Book 14 is the end for the "Volume III: Allies of the King" storyline.

If the player chooses to abandon a squad of them, the job will be easier, but the reward will also be less. The difficulty dynamically adjusts based on how much the player wishes to attempt at any given moment for an objective. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Roles">Roles</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Lord_of_the_Rings_Online:_Helm%27s_Deep&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Roles"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>There are three classes that players can choose to play as during an epic battle: the Vanguard, the Engineer, and the Officer. The Vanguard can use powerful attacks and defenses to defeat the enemy in battle, as well as being able to call on several Epic Battle abilities such as a volley of arrows or to stun surrounding enemies. The Engineer's role is to strategically place siege equipment to use against the enemy, lay devastating traps, and apply powders to projectiles that add effects to weaken the incoming enemy. Engineers can also use the deadly siege weaponry stationed at Helm's Deep to scatter enemy forces before the walls. The Officer heals troops on the brink of defeat and grants defensive benefits to reinforce their allies' defenses. As a veteran, the Officer commands from afar, orders troops to counter enemy assaults, and can raise banners of war to embolden the defense. These roles are not fixed during an Epic Battle, and players are able to switch between them as the need arises. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Priority_targets">Priority targets</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Lord_of_the_Rings_Online:_Helm%27s_Deep&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Priority targets"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Epic Battles system in <i>Helm's Deep</i> uses a different type of <a href="/wiki/Non-player_character" title="Non-player character">NPC</a> threat calculation (deciding on targets) than in other aspects of the game.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> These changes are similar in aspect to other changes that were released with the expansion, but the threat system in the Epic Battles is more specific and focused. Every different class of non-player character is now programmed to seek out specific player threats and make their elimination a priority. </p><p>This new process uses a point value system for each potential target in the battle, with points adjusted by distance, combat state, target priority and other factors. For the most part, players will be able to operate at their leisure, using siege equipment and issuing commands, without having to worry about accidentally being attacked by non-player characters for minor actions that would previously grab the AI's attention. Classes that attract attention from NPCs by relying heavily upon defense in combat will still be able to draw aggression, but the rear-guard support classes will be able to do their jobs without drawing the same attention from NPCs as they previously did. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Promotions_and_rewards">Promotions and rewards</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Lord_of_the_Rings_Online:_Helm%27s_Deep&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Promotions and rewards"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Promotions function in a similar regard to the class "talent tree". Medals from the quests translate into promotion points, which are used to make the player more effective at different aspects of the Epic Battles. Bronze medals are worth 1 point, silver is worth 2, gold is 3 and platinum is 4. Getting the maximum number of points requires receiving platinum medals for every quest. The promotions system only uses the highest value for determining points, so the player only has to achieve platinum once to earn the maximum points for each quest. </p><p>The promotion system allows for complete hybridization. New tiers of promotion traits are unlocked across the board as the player spend points, and the cost is the same regardless of which role they are spent on. If a player wants to put extreme emphasis on one promotion tree, they can spend points solely on that tree, but they can also achieve a mix of promotions for all three roles if they so choose instead. Higher-tier traits cost more than lower-tier traits, but the costs are even between the different trees, and hybrid builds are very effective. </p><p>In addition to the promotions window is the expertise panel. These skills are unlocked by spending points in the trees in the right-hand panel. The deeper the player goes into a given line, the more expertise traits are unlocked in that line. Expertise traits are unlocks that accentuate their given line - new ammo types for Engineers, more order types for Officers, and different damaging effects for Vanguards. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Gameplay_enhancements">Gameplay enhancements</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Lord_of_the_Rings_Online:_Helm%27s_Deep&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: Gameplay enhancements"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>An important new features of <i>Helm's Deep</i> is a modification of the games class "trait tree" system.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Beginning at level 6, Trait Trees offer a selection of powerful Specializations (Specs) that enhance players' characters. Trait points are gained by leveling-up and completing Deeds, and higher levels unlock additional builds to switch between when outside combat. Each class has unique Specs that embody a clear combat style, whether it's the Minstrel healing Spec or the Champion Morale tank Spec. As players allocate points they receive bonuses, like enhanced passives, new powerful skills, and significant skill upgrades.

We thought it made a lot of sense for us. It's an understood system - we did it with mounted combat and we found it to be very successful. And it something our players already understand, so it's a system within which we can work. Each class has three different trait lines that you can spec out, so you specialize very heavily in one line at a time. And then you can specialize in a couple of different other ways and save them as different specs and then you can switch between them as much as you want.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
