Conskill posted:Do lore-masters still suffer from obscene button bloat? I know they cut down a lot of the classes but last time I played LOTRO my LM button lay-out felt like something off the space shuttle. I just came back to my 65 LM after not playing since Mirkwood and it seems a little better. Most of my ability bars are situational stuff for group content or “oh poo poo” buttons. I only use about 6 skills ever when leveling solo. I also specced into the blue line for the first time and dang the bog boy packs a punch. Speaking of returning players, do I need to care much about legendary items while leveling through the xpacs? I have decent enough leveling ones from Mirkwood but idk when I should start worrying about that stuff again. Additionally, going from fighting the witch king to collecting wolf asses for hillbillies in Dunland is boring as gently caress. Do the epic quests get more fun again later?

bagrada posted:Yeah I got to that last night. Pretty good, only complaints are sometimes it decides to stop attacking and just stare until I hit its attack hotkey again, and it kills stuff so fast it's tricky to get skill uses in to work on my deeds. Are you rooting enemies with Cracked Earth? It'll stop attacking CCed enemies to not break the root.

This sale sucks rear end. Helm's Deep is currently the same price as WoW's current expansion (which includes ALL the previous ones...) At least I can get it cheap from a third party and pick up Mordor for half off.

flowinprose posted:One of my greatest annoyances for a long time with LOTRO in general has been that the stablemaster system does not have a method to mark a path using multiple stables from one destination to another (either automatically or manually) and have it queue up the steps to get you there. While I realize that creating an algorithm to do this automatically would be pretty complex, since it would have to incorporate your known stables and fastest/cheapest path, etc.... they could at the very least implement a way to queue up routes manually on the stable map... Yeah, it’s dumb that there’s no easy way to tell what connects to what. WoW has had this type of automatic pathing forever and there’s no good lore reason to not implement it here.

Hmm Rohan has been cool so far but I'm getting a bit bored of going from mead hall to mead hall with Nona, Horny, and some elf guy. Good thing I hit 80 so I'll only be here (checks wiki) for 15 more levels  Does West Rohan get better?

Given the glowing reviews ITT of the rest of Rohan, is there much of a downside to popping my Aria of the Valar then knocking out all the gray epic quests? I got Mordor in the last sale and I don’t plan on playing alts on the regular server. I just want to play through the main plot for my Tolkien fix but I don’t want to screw myself out of cool setpieces and epic content by using the item.

Comrade Koba posted:Out of curiosity, what’s so bad about it? Most of the epic quest is good to great but most of the part in Angmar was the original endgame content. This means a lot of pointless running around through poorly laid out, mob dense areas. I’d recommend getting through vol 1 book 6 then hitting Moria. You can always go back and do the remaining vol 1 chapters later.

Lum_ posted:- weird single-player storyline instances which have a harder difficulty curve than current Mordor thanks to AI creatures ignoring the 12 other friendly NPCs with you and converging on you instantly, every single time (it doesn't help that quite a few have attack procs that haven't been looked at in years and are probably literally broken - one type of mob, "Uruk-hai Warrior", has a fire proc that will slice about 1000 HP a tick (my health at the time was around 2800 HP); the only way to survive fighting them is to burn a self-cure as soon as it hits. hope you have one of those! those are trash mobs btw) oof yeah, i thought i was loving something up with my build while playing through helm's deep and dying in those usually piss-easy story instances. i really like rohan from lotr and was stoked to be working for eowyn and gandalf directly but the wind quickly went out of my sails.

I want to be excited but "free to play MMO from Amazon (who just laid off a bunch of people during E3) that stopped alpha testing of their only high profile game in development" is a pretty darn cursed pitch.

Hello Sailor posted:In retrospect, I do wish I'd had the spare cash and inclination to shell out $300 for the lifetime sub. I don't think I've spent anywhere close to that much in the store and I only go on playing binges 2-3 times a year, but I wouldn't mind using the shitloads of "free" points to throw stat tomes and whatever else at my characters. I was in the beta in college but didn’t have the $199 to shell out for the founder lifetime sub and I’ve kicked myself several times for it.

i just hit 100 and i'm loving gondor but i'm not sure where to go next? i'm doing the epic book in dol amroth / belfalas for now but it looks like all of central gondor, eastern gondor, and old anorien are level 100 zones, then far anorien goes from 100-105? I'll just follow the Vol IV epic questline for now and assume it'll breadcrumb me through these regions but any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks! I got to explore Gondor a bit more last night and I’m enjoying these zones. Idk if I’m going to do the faction grind for each of them now but I’ll probably come back to do it for the Blemished Symbol of the Elder King. I got to Retaking Pelagrir but it bugged out, gotta try it again tonight... Thanks all for the heads up on Mordor. I’m a LM so I’m fine getting a bit beefier here before trying to solo the harder stuff.

i leveled up from playing doordash for pippin. this game owns. i ended up getting that first age symbol from central gondor and it'd be sweet if one of you wouldn't mind making me a 1st age LI. i can pay for the emeralds.

Givin posted:Ok so, I'm suffering from lootbox overload. I'm drowning in these Travelers Steel Bound Lockboxes and it's honestly a pain in the rear end. Before I destroy these things, do people seriously waste cash on keys from the store for these things? I threw like 5 up on the AH at a blowout price and none have moved in 24 hours so that seems out. You should just filter those out imo. Everyone drowns in them otherwise.

Isn’t Lothlorien part of the Moria expansion? Mirkwood was just southern Mirkwood. That was the only expansion launch I was actively playing during.

Lum_ posted:Pretty sure you'll get to play through at least another year's worth of trudging through orcs and dwarves holed up in Gundabad, with side trips down to Rhun to poke around judging what a lot of the Dale-land Easterling NPCs alluded to, the nuclear fallout. I was just goofing about the servers dying but I’m very stoked to potentially poke around Rhun. I remember wondering about that inland sea the first time I really studied the map at the front of LotR. It’d be sweet to get more blue wizard content.
