Re: RJ's Stream/Youtubes - Adopt an Uruk: Nemesis Forge
Another thing to think of is the insurance-
Only buy insurance for uruks you actually like, then the ones you don't care about can die and give you their corpsemoney

He is dead, and Aust has been afk for quite some time. If you desire another Uruk, say so in the thread. You will no longer be given uruks if you do not participate
Re: RJ's Stream/Youtubes - Adopt an Uruk: Nemesis Forge
You cannot get limited insurance, all or nothing.
In addition, while Grave has the worst luck dying to Aust's AFK minion, we do see a couple contenders on the rise for Warchief amidst the wanton fields of death and despair. The likes of which have already made our friend Grave greatly distressed as the evils of mordor torture him, killing every Uruk he comes to love.
We may see our second and final winner soon, or perhaps they'll be cut down in their prime.
Re: RJ's Stream/Youtubes - Adopt an Uruk: Nemesis Forge
Very good. Next up, I shall acquire a minion. I am certain there will be someone suitible around there somewhere.
Amug will probably continue feasting, as he seems to be pleased to do
Re: RJ's Stream/Youtubes - Adopt an Uruk: Nemesis Forge
I'm hoping Arjay will continue something like this in Shadow of War. I'm nerding out for it myself and seeing something like this with the Uruk's on his side would be cool!

I 100% have plans to iterate this in Shadow of War, and I'm positive it'll be implemented much better than it currently is now. Since the main problem now is that current Uruks cannot kill each other. In Shadow of War, you can DIRECTLY make your Uruk off another without needing a derp minion.
It'll also allow things like seiges, where you can watch your Uruk become warchief by not just offing a guy, but having him take over an entire fort on his own, using a large collection of either npc uruks or other player uruks. This will create a very interesting and unusual Co-op/pvp environment where players can either work together to take over a fort and allow one to become warchief, or hope that their comrades will die in the process of taking it.
None of this is set in stone however. I will need a great deal of time to observe Shadow of War's mechanics to make a well designed adopt an Uruk out of it. However, I do know that one GREAT benefit is that keeping your Pet Uruk alive will be MUCH easier, as when they go down in combat, they go into a bleedout state that I can revive them from. So depending on how I muck it up, this will most likely mean that if you like your uruk, it will be very easy to keep it.
I can already tell you it will be far less clunky than the current Adopt an Uruk. No holds barred, you can kill whoever you want. No maybes or what have you. If you want it dead, it will die. It'll also be much more complicated to reach that win state, as you need to seige instead of just kill a warchief. Just like current Adopt an Uruk, winners will have their Uruks hung up on display for being awesome little uruks who survived death and despair, and left behind countless lost souls in their wake.
Re: RJ's Stream/Youtubes - Adopt an Uruk: Nemesis Forge
Forgive me. I have no real excuse for my absence here. I guess I just never thought it would be an everyday thing. Heck, this seems to update more then once a day. And while I can't use work as an excuse, it really has been busy the past couple weeks. Again, not using it as an excuse, just trying to explain my mindset. Hopefully you'll give me the chance once again.
Re: RJ's Stream/Youtubes - Adopt an Uruk: Nemesis Forge
It'd be a real boon if they'd make it so awful abilities wouldn't over-write good ones. It would make sense for uruks to get stronger as they leveled, not lose their strengths in trade for iffy things. Anyone who's watched a leaper or boomerang fight knows it's a clear downgrade from fast or heavy attacks.
Re: RJ's Stream/Youtubes - Adopt an Uruk: Nemesis Forge
Call me crazy, but I feel like some strengths stay with the Uruk even if they're overwritten. Or maybe they don't stay in true form, but they evolve without any tool tip indicating it. A key point I noticed here is someone with the enrage effect that DIDN'T regenerate. When I notice a lot of Uruks regen with it, and I think they typically had some kind of regen beforehand, from attacking or what have you. So I think their old trait survives in some odd form but gets absorbed into a new trait. Just a theory, and would explain why Pug was so strong despite having a very odd skill set. The guy was just indestructible.
