As expected I gained an amount of Morale equal to my Vitality, so another 1100, which is always nice. Ranged damage increase from 64396 PM has increased from 229.1 to 239.1%. With 13950 crit rating my ranged crit chance has gone from 26.9% to 27.0%, my devastate chance has gone from 9.1% to 9.3%, and my crit magnitude is still increased by 30.7% (yes, I had all of this in a spreadsheet somewhere that I hadn't touched since last October). So my damage output seems to have gone up by a few percent, no particularly big change.

Came in here to ask what's up with the intense lag, I see other people are experiencing it as well. My character will randomly come to a dead stop and be locked in place for 10-15 seconds. Skills can take several seconds to use. Still having the same issues with my war-steed that have existed since Riders of Rohan launched, namely the choppy graphics and occasional slingshotting backwards.

Still having the same issues with my war-steed that have existed since Riders of Rohan launched, namely the choppy graphics and occasional slingshotting backwards. Yeah I can't defend their lack of testing each patch on more than one o/s. The idea here seems to be to go all in to get the engine ready to make Mordor really good and not just another continuation of a dated laggy engine. We'll see if it pays off or not. They do seem to be really putting in work even at the expense of people who want to enjoy the game this week/month. Some things worth preparing for: Now is probably no longer the time to max your gear out. Things like your LIs are perfect to work on, finishing Mordor rep is a good idea. No one can raid currently because they need to scale the raid mobs back, their numbers were all hit by the Mordor prep code. I would bet Mordor is looking more like 10 levels, not 5, which makes sense because we're coming off years of content packs and only five levels increased through all of them. So everyone should expect to keep their LIs, and maybe half your best gear if it has perfect essence and set bonuses, but the Mordor content is sounding like you will probably be replacing half your gear before you even hit the new level cap. http://www.hugesoundrecords.com/lotro10/ If anyone wants to buy Chance Thomas' anniversary soundtrack, it's apparently $14.99 for two cds worth of mp3s and people said you can transfer them freely regardless of what device you buy them on. I'll probably skip it, can't confirm. Betting that to cover his current composing and production fees they had to throw in that he gets to sell this CD off his own website for the profit. Beacon 13 is out https://www.lotro.com/en/game/articles/lotro-beacon-issue-13 And the new store coupon code is SKILLDOR if anyone wants to update the MoTD until they fix this new store/login bug. edit Not a full fix but they've got a work around up already for anyone who got a launcher bug on XP or Vista. https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthread.php?&postid=7728146#post7728146 extra stout fucked around with this message at 23:27 on Jun 1, 2017 |

Sometimes I wish some big company would swoop in, give them all the money they need and port this game to a new modern engine. (Although I'm afraid it might lose some of its charm then as they'll over-do it.) I really like these Beacon things though, they're really involved in their community it seems.

There's definitely guides on the RK around, I believe red/fire is still the one everyone uses at 105 for raiding and generally huge dps. Check my op for a YouTube dude who explains all the details of the LI system, or just read your class forum and find a legacy list / explanation of which do what. https://www.lotro.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?312-Rune-keepers

Also, I find it really helpful to go do low-level questlines while I get myself reacquainted. I recommend Bingo's questline that you start in Michel Delving just north of the mayor's hangout; it's a recent addition that is super endearing.

Okay I've been out of the game for a while and recently reached level 100 on my Loremaster. I have a couple of questions for which I have not been able to find a satisfactory answer: 1) If I plan to imbue a legendary weapon (and/or LM book), should I obtain a first-age item to imbue or is it fine to do a second or even third-age item? From what I have gathered so far, for at least the weapon (LM Staff) there would be a benefit to imbuing first-age vs. lower tier items, since the staves have base stat bonuses on them (like +WIS, +VIT, +crit rating, +Morale, etc) which would be higher for a first-age item. The real question is... how much of a difference would it make and would it be worth it to pursue a first-age item? 2) If I need first age items, what is currently the best path towards obtaining them? flowinprose fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Jun 18, 2017 |

flowinprose posted:Okay I've been out of the game for a while and recently reached level 100 on my Loremaster. You'll get one crystal of remembrance (most expensive item to upgrade your legendary with, only need one per item, so a second for your class item) from the book quest. I forget how far in, but somewhere mid Gondor. Chapter 7? Or so. The other you gotta run new or slightly old content (starting around epic battles I think?) and hope to loot a second, pay some big gold for the second, or if you had Helm's Deep or Rohan deluxe editions you get one free per char, bound. For the symbol itself to craft a first age, just let me know your name and I'll mail you one. I got one slightly cheap for 90g to give to Ociayn, but he stopped logging in the same week a month ago. If he comes back or another goon hits 100, just pay it forward if you can. To poorly summarize it before I pass out (the YouTube I posted page one explains all of this in depth) you need the symbol of the...elder? king to craft a first age. One crystal of remembrance to add a 7th legacy slot (big deal). Then it's just a slow grind unless you have 5000 gold or a lot of points or real money. After that you can slowly collect anfalas starlit crystals for the minor stat boosts and like two hundred anfalas scrolls to level it up. You can get like 2-5 of these a night in 10 minutes for free from featured instances, as well as the exp (you'll need loads) to max up the item level as you expand the max item level with magic crystals and scrolls. It's worth the effort because they are permanent, where as 3/4 of your other gear will be replaced in two or so months once the full Mordor expansion hits.

flowinprose posted:2) If I need first age items, what is currently the best path towards obtaining them? I got my staff by doing Roving Threats until I had 50 gift givers' brands, and then bartered at a Roving Threat trader. They're pretty fun and often easy to find groups for depending on the time of day you play. Let me know the character you want the book sent to, I can craft a first age any time.

Final fantasy 14 is having a bunch of issues this weekend because of the expansion release overloading the servers, back in the day, I got a lifetime subscription to this dead game back in beta and played on and off until the horse riding / Rohan expansion came out then just stopped playing. So I downloaded LOTRO, read that wardens are the current best solo levelling class and used some of my tens of thousands of banked turbine points to buy a level 50 boost and am now working through moria on my warden. I don't remember wardens being so good, something must have changed in the last few years. Is there anything I should know that I absolutely need as far as gear or content? When last I played it was LI's and skirmishes, or should I just grind out that epic quest and get my rear end out of moria? I feel like even trying to get a better LI is a waste at my level. I'm just using the free one from the first part of moria...

As far as LI are concerned, upgrade your weapon LI every 5 level or so (for the dps) and for the offhand every 10 level or so. For the offhand there is no difference in the bonus you get when upgrading level for the percentile based bonus so if you get some really good combo you can keep it even more than 10 level. Also, third age will do fine. Until level 100 that is, then it's a whole new world with imbument, good thing is when you get a level 100 LI, you can keep it forever, no need to upgrade them.

I'm a little confused...what's the difference between buying an expansion pack, and having the quest pack unlocked through VIP? I don't know if I'm expected to buy expansions and a monthly fee or what, at this point.

I think expansion packs you have to buy either way, but then there's content packs that VIP get for free. So Moria, Riders of Rohan are expansions, but stuff like Great River, all the Gondor stuff, etc, are content packs. Maybe I'm wrong though!

So when does expansion content "start"? I'm level 22 at the moment - really soaking up the game's atmosphere, as I don't have another game on - but have this weird feeling I'll be missing something significant. VIP seems like a fantastic deal, but buying four expansions at the same time turns me off.

33-35ish is where F2P effectively ends. Buy a one month sub, roll every character that you ever intent to play, and log each one on during your VIP month. Doing that will permanently unlock a ton of stuff on each character. At the very least, you'll need the Moria expansion. You can start its Prologue(which awards you your first Legendary Weapon) at 45.

Eregion questing is level 45, so you can actually start picking them up at 40. Eregion is actually a pretty decent zone, and it's world's ahead of angmar. It's part of the moria expansion so you are good until 40.

Thanks again, guys. Looks as if I can take it much easier than I thought! If TSW: Legends doesn't grab me, I'm going to put my money into this instead. I played it briefly at release but regret leaving it alone - game is absolutely beautiful, and in twenty levels I've not had any sniff of orcs or apocalypses or anything. That Turtle Soup quest.  Also holy goddamn, the music is beautiful.

Mordor Expansion Pack News https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGVhon1rSwE It's nerds talking so I'm posting some highlights here for those who don't want to spend an hour on it Going to update this as I listen to it in the background so far we got: -Mordor beta hitting the bullroarer test server tomorrow, which I would think means it's a month or two away assuming it gets tested 2-3x more than an average patch -Level cap going up by ten, confirmed -The roads in Mordor will establish difficulty, once we break in the casuals can play 'close to the roads' and the further off the traveled paths you go the more likely you are to need gold gear or get poo poo on -Already confirmed, Chance Thomas soundtrack coming More stuff: -Legendary Items continue, a new relic slot will be added. I imagine it'll be just for an end game Mordor relic. Maybe related to the allegiance system. -Supposedly we will finally shift away from morale and vitality will be the choice source of morale again. What this means right now: Unless you're trying to raid actively, sell your morale essence as they would've lost most their value in a 10 level jump anyway. -Virtues going up for the first time in years? Ever? Might only be to 20, but cool. -Barber NPCs now go beyond hair and beards, you'll be able to change all of the eye color/facial features/body type settings on your character. euphronius posted:Is this the last expansion ? Nope, not unless everyone quits they've already mentioned going back and updating old areas, adding new areas, but they won't confirm which until they're all done with Mordor. I believe Mordor will also get one more update even beyond the expansion. After that the forums rumor and beg of hopes for either North Mirkwood or Erebor being added by/in 2018. More fuckin words: Just now I was watching this I saw he zoned into an area to smith or deconstruct some of the new gear, it said Now entering Erebor: Great Chamber of Thorin I doubt the whole area is in but at least partially it must be, that's where you turn in rep for the dwarf faction I imagine is its quest and story purpose. extra stout fucked around with this message at 07:57 on Jun 23, 2017 |
