Out now on PlayStation 4, Middle-earth: Shadow of War's latest update brings online pit fights to the game. This does exactly what it says on the tin: you can take your orcs and have them fight against orcs from the games of other players. Could be a fun way to level up your favourite followers and earn some extra loot. The update weighs in at 3GB on Sony's system.
Outside of that main feature, the patch is made up of fixes, which you can find below:
- Improved Fight Pit pacing: Shortened fight timer and increased damage dealt.
Balancing
- Starting a Nemesis Mission will now reset the cooldown for summoning beasts and bodyguards.
General
- Fixed an issue where player gear and buffs were affecting Fight Pit participants.
- Fixed issues where players’ Overlords could disappear from the Army screen after losing a fortress.
- Fixed issues where an Orc who cheated death after a Pit Fight loss could fail to re-enter the Army screen.
- Fixed an issue where loading into an Online Vendetta could result in becoming stuck on a black screen.
- Fixed a long load time issue when selecting “Leave Mission” during an Online Vendetta or Online
- Conquest.
- Fixed issues with incorrect Orc traits being shown in the Online Conquests preview menu.
- Fixed an incorrect error message when replacing a daily challenge.
- Fixed a campaign audio issue when accessing the first Shadow of the Past Mission.

Yep still loving this game. really wish they'd patch in a way to skip the cutscene every time you run into a captain. some of those can go on for way too long.
I was going to buy this game, but my power turned off during a play session on a rental copy and my save data was corrupted. I'm not redoing 10 hours of grinding, so bite my *** WB.
I love this game. It definitely is underrated due to the many games that overshadowed [of war] it this year. I’d recommend this game to anyone who liked Shadow of Mordor, the Arkham games, or LOTR in general. It’s a bigger and better Shadow of Mordor. The combat is very deep when you really dive into the stats and abilities of the armor and weapons and combine them with the plethora of skills in the game. After I finished the main story and all of the collectibles I put the game down to play assassins creed. But I kept thinking about Shadow of war, and due to limited HD space I could not immediately play it cause I had to make room for AC: Origins. However, I ended up getting a little bored of Origins grinding out side quests in order to rank up so that I could be a high enough level to do the next story mission. So I did the switch back and put Origins aside so that I could keep playing shadow of war. The gameplay is just so fluid and deep. There are so many unique moments and stories that you have personally with the different orcs and I have so many laugh out loud memories. I just can’t recommend this game enough. If you’re on the fence about getting the game I’d highly recommend you do it. The micro transactions are hardly noticeable. They are a non-issue, and the game just gets better as you play and unlock more skills. It’s just so much fun. And to answer the question in the article, yes, I am excited about online pit fights.
Nearing the end of the Shadow Wars and it's one huge grind thats ruining a brilliant game.
why are the online vendeta's server's down in middle earth shadow of war in 2019 ?
