Itemization HD Patchnotes 12.1

Hi all,

I found in the release notes this line:

•Loot drops have been restructured for all scaling instances and raids. Look to the forums for a list of all potential drops from each space.

Has anyone a link in the forum where we could find this Information ?

Whole PVE game needs a re balance

$

In my mind there have been so many changes to classes and their abilities the characters are out of balance with the landscape mobs and even the Epic line. I play all classes except the burglar, and any of my characters can take on orange or even red mobs and expect to win, one on one. The quests need to be re colored with orange being the new white, to produce a more challenging experience. I get to Eregion, or Dimrill Dale, at a level there are no quests for me. I have to wander around killing just to level before I can pick up the first quests, or go back to a previous area. This seems to be the case for most if not all classes. I should say I am a soloist, but have mostly dropped armour, but do have crafted weapons.
Love the game and played from inception, so yes I know a bit about the landscape and how to defeat mobs, but easy is no fun.....

How untradable items system kill lotro!

(first sorry for my poor english)

This is my vision of a good mmorpg.
From my view a good MMO is an MMO where you never be bored to play and
sadly Lotro is not.

I don't know if is the same for others players but I play lotro only two or three months after an expansion is coming out.
After this time, i'm start to be bored to play.
More the time pass and more I start to be bored earlier because each expansion propose the same "gaming concept".
Like I see, it's the same for all my guildies.

It's why I suggest to dev to introduce a system of rare items.
I said "rare" not difficult.

Let me explain. I suggest to introduce a system of rare drop with a % of chance to drop.
Like the chest and key system but for items. And i suggest to make these items tradable or sellable.
I suggest also to introduce Rare named boss on some major place on the map but not instanced. With like a day, a weeks or a month to repop.
These named drops will be randomly. Some of these named requested a fully raid and a long battle. (1hour for a good raid composition)
If fact, like draigosh but not instanced and with items fully tradable.

This system will create a really items economy on the market.
This system will also broke the circle of temporary "expansion" players.
This system will also render each class his real importance.

I know that a part of players will not agree with this proposition.
But trust me, a system like this will completely change the attraction of the game.
And create a real lotro addiction.....

Players will start to be really faithful, not like now.

so when you purchase it does it appear on all of your characters even new ones like the steely dawn starter pack or is it for 1 character only

Is it worth it?

I am using a f2p account, I have not renewed to VIP in a while. I used some turbine points to get Mirkwood and Moria but I think I accidentally got Moria quests or something. Anyway my question is is it worth it to buy the expansions now or buy TP and then get them? I see myself playing for a while but stuff seems a bit expensive I don't know lol. I am a returning player so unsure what to do at the moment, any help is appreciated thanks

class quests going to the wrong classes?

$
0
0
Ok, here's a new one (or at least I haven't been able to find anything posted about it yet). I can't figure out which forum this should be posted in, as it applies to multiple classes. I have a minstrel that before the last update had the class quest for Skumfil. After 12.1, that quest disappeared out of my minstrel's log, and she can't get it back. I was in Foundations on my guard today on other business, and lo and behold, Pada has a new quest for me. Did I mention I'm on my guard at this point? Pada's quest that I am able to accept? Triumphant Spirit, the first in the MINSTREL class quest chain that leads to the quest I'm now unable to get on my actual minstrel. I now have in my quest log a quest category for minstrel quests, on my guardian.

Yes, I will bug it obviously, but I was curious whether anyone else is experiencing such breaks in class-specific content lately?

Delete. Problem solved.

Your favorite moment playing LotRO?

Hi,

I am getting back into LotRO again for probably the 10th time since the game released in 2007, but I find myself enjoying the game a lot as always.

One thing I haven't been able to replicate was back in 2008 when I first entered Goblin-Town and grouped up to clear it with some Kin-mates. Seriously some of the most fun I've ever had in a game.

Earlier this year I also enjoyed the Barrow-Downs an extreme amount, especially questing with a friend.

What about you folks?

What great nostalgia do you have in LotRO?

Torsbury quests, who is Frithmund?

*Spoilers for the Torsbury quest line*

I just did the instance where I fought with the Thane, his son, Dudsig and others to retake Torsbury. Running up to the final battle I ran into Frithmund who recognized me. Then he proceeds to backstab the Thane. Where did I meet him before? The first time I did this quest, I found it confusing and tried to follow it more closely the 2nd time, but I have no idea where I met this guy before... Google isn't helping me find him either. Any answers?

attn Devs, Big Battle 3 mans?????

$

I was not sure if this topic was covered already as i did not see anything concerning it when i did the search.

was doing some Big battles with 2 of my friends and noticed something. the glittering caves is the only battle that offers , one/duo, 3 man, 6 man or 12 man for fellowship size.


How come all the other big battles only offer, one/duo, 6 man or 12 man for fellowship size????

it would be nice if 3 mans were available for all the big battles and not just glittering caves.


To any dev or sapience, is their any plans to add 3 mans to the rest of the battles in the future?

thanks in advance.

Last night, while thinking about past experiences in LotRO I got pondering what was really fun in the game to me. Having 15 (I think) characters I have been through many of the zones quite often, and while I was always looking forward to certain areas that stopped at some point.

I always looked forward to the North Dows, Evendim, the Misty Mountains, Moria (and then getting out again to Lorien). Oh, don't get me wrong - I haven't quite forgotten what a chore it was to get to 50 initially as I didn't like Angmar - ony my first char I leveled from 45 to 50 killing Wargs in the Misty Mountains as I was playing solo only at that time. It felt like a tremendous achievment to get to 50 though. I haven't forgotten the frustrations of Moria, and I still loved it.

Then I realized that Enedwaith was the last zone I sort of enjoyed. I had 9 characters at level 65 before the cap was raised to 75 and I only leveled those characters I needed for instances and raids with the kinship ever since. I hate the questing on rails in the new zones I guess. If you don't do quest x you can't progress any further. In the past you had a choice, as your level was mostly the only gate. Don't like Othrikar? Skip it. Don't like picking berries for the falcon clan? Tough luck, deal with it.

When I was initially exclusively playing solo I couldn't do a lot of group content, and I accepted that. I knew I could do it if I really wanted to. Nowadays everything has to be soloable and the difficulty is such that I see people standing in that village of angry Dunlendings with their pet on auto-attack AFK to gather whatever (XP? Loot? Deeds?). There is just no variety and no choice anymore. I feel like I am being force fed the content the way the developers want me to play, not how *I* want to play.

I am a lifetimer and I have bought the Deluxe Edition of every expansion so far, to contribute something to the development still. I already regret buying HD though, as I can't bring myself to level a second character through the landscape content (and I haven't even finished the story on my first - got to 95 and stopped right there). Actually I felt the same with the last expansion.

I'll return to roleplaying and hoping for the housing update I guess. And I'll buy an XP diasbler for a dwarf at level 65 in Moria - that was the best time I had in LotRO with my now defunct kinship, of which everyone but two or three people are gone. I have little hope though to find enough people to revive that time (Moria instances, SG, DG, DN... *sigh*).

And now I'll go back into my grumpy old fart corner to have tomatoes and rotten vegetables be thrown at me.

Player Council 2014: lessons to learn from 2013

$

The Player Council is a new thing for LOTRO. To me, as an outsider to the Council, much of the Player Council of 2013 was a learning experience. And I think the Player's Council of 2014 can learn some valuable lessons!

For something new and unprecedented in LOTRO, I think the Player Council of 2013 actually didn't do that bad at all. It's impossible for us as 'outsiders' to fully evaluate what they did or didn't do. Player members are bound by a NDA, so many of their actions are veiled to us. What has been revealed to us has been filtered by Turbine. But still there's quite some goodies they've done for us:
- getting Turbine to indeed listen to their feedback and do something with it;
- forum restructuring from the player perspective;
- helpful, responsible presence on this forum;
- suggesting features to Turbine;
- visiting Turbine and having valuable face to face meetings with key (to us) Turbine staff;
- lastly: trying to gasp some of what the whole playerbase thinks/feels/wants most particular lately here: https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthr...gs-Online-quot

A possible future goodie could be their feedback on the housing updates. They certainly made Turbine reevaluate them but how that pans out is yet unknown to us. It's Turbine's credit that they do indeed take the Council serious.

There is also some things in which I think they have crossed the line some.
In particular recommending or suggesting pricing levels to Turbine for features is something I think the Player Council of 2014 should not do. Remember as a Player Council member that you are still a paying customer. Never ever let the shopkeeper look into your wallet like that. In particular when you have been appointed as a representative of all other customers. Besides the whole principal wrong of this, you also set yourselves up to be used as 'scapegoats'.

Also, be careful with attempting to compensate for Turbine's sometimes less than optimal communication. You are not spokespersons of Turbine. You are OUR spokespersons. You should be telling Turbine what you think they should (also) be telling us and how. Turbine already has their own spokespersons.

Finally there is a thing that needs to change:
If in 2014 there is one thing the Player Council should take to heart it is to make it more clear you are indeed [u]our/[u] Council. You may very well have been this in 2013 as well, but I saw too little of that - was it out of my sight? I would also recommend to put some pressure on the way the Player Council's actions are made public. Let the Council speak for itself in a way that is agreed upon with Turbine, rather than letting Turbine speak for the Council.

Many thanks to the Player Council of 2013. You braved a new thing and barring the mentioned mistakes, you indeed deserve gratitude.

Courage to the Player Council of 2014. You'll not granted the mercy of being new at this.

I tried to upgrade my account with the free vip of 14 days for those holidays and I have to still register a credit card/debit card(PayPal option). 1st that I don't have any CC or DC and secondly I will not pay any sub after that! Maybe in the summer yes but I don't have much time for gaming! So how do I upgrade to VIP for just those 14 days WITHOUT using credit card/debit card???

TURBINE PLS UPDATE YOUR PAYING PAGE OPTIONS! It is NOT fair like that!

I hit level 29 today. Am I high enough for evendim? Lone Lands are not giving enough xp and skirmishes are getting boring.
