Yeah sort of related, so I'll stick this stuff here.

It's fucking depressing if true, and the numbers/screens/testament is quite compelling. It's getting harder to overlook these kind of blunders.

I'll give it a crack, I don't hold out much hope for it being great (honestly I can do without more scenarios!) and I don't have any interest in playing a KotBS. I hope to see it prompt some RvR participation, but only time will tell on that point. That was the best thing about the Witching Night event - the RvR PQ (when people actually played it).

Some people may be interested in this;

Toggles your cloak heraldry after you zone so it's always visible to you. Haven't tried it out, I'll assume it does what it says on the tin.

I'm fairly sure you'll have to play from level 1, regardless of whether you've got a level 50 or not(?)

Ah yeah whoops I meant north downs, we're just finishing up there now, the area down in the SE where all the orcs are.

Evendim or Trollshaws - both same sort of level are they? That'll be a first, having a choice for where to go - does one come logically before the other? I haven't played my hobbit in a month or two, I'm not sure where our quests are leading us except to go see the elves, which I guess takes us through Trollshaws. Not sure where evendim is, is that the place with the little hobbit village at the border, north of the shire?

I am in a LOTR mood now after chatting about this today

Will be interesting to see T4 soon with my WP (rank 26 atm, so two ranks to go) as I started the leveling process again a couple days ago :p

I'll be slotting the curse-removing tactics next rank, should increase survivability vs casters a lot (not only for me, but for who ever happens to be in my party too).

I'm sure you are well aware of all this, but;

If you join at 28, I'm going to strongly advise you to take what you see in there with a pinch of salt. It's usually bad when you first join a tier, but T4 is really harsh, witch elves and sorcs are going to tear you up in less than 5 seconds. I'm only just starting to be able to stand on my own two feet at 32 (nearly 33!). So by all means take a peep, but stick with T3 (for scenarios at least) as long as you're able. Ride the TA wave as long as you can since our win % is massively higher there than T4.

Not an optimistic post, I know, but it's a "don't lose heart" post.

as far as im aware its entirely post 50 stuff in MoM, but why you not at 50

Mostly because I play with my wife, who's extremely casual with the game. Not quite as powerlevelly as I am, which is why I have three toons at a similar level (catching up to our 'main' while we're not playing them). Partially also because I find LOTRO's levelling to be quite slow at times. Perhaps it's the constant kill "6,000 wolf quests", but I suspect it's more to do with the high amount of group content (and we are well behind the curve) it's hard to find people to do a good number of the quests with. Lastly we play it on and off - started on release day, and play for a few months at a time before something diverts our attention away

We do ok, because we're playing a guardian + minstrel so we're a mini fs in our own right, but we don't grind particularly quickly or anything. We've just about finished up the lone lands I think, just a few more quests to finish up, and we've got our ponies - where would you advise we head to next for questing? I think we need to go visit the elves!

Now did someone get the next tactic for the standard? (Am sure I left officers with that right )

Yeah, went with the magic resist one.

Doombolt crits you for eight million (7 resisted)

What they just up an' cancelled a whole race? You're a bit stuffed by that if you've bought all their miniatures aren't you? Doesn't seem very fair!

Hmm I'm wondering if there's much point getting MoM yet, I've got two toons at 35, and one at 30. I have no intention at this point of trying out either of the new classes really since I've already got enough on the go. I think I'll leave it, but if anyone's aware of anything "omg dude you wont be able to visit elite Tom Bombadil's lair" then please do let me know!

Congrats! All my guys are sub 50 still, so all I've ever killed is wolves (oh god hundreds of wolves)
