Who went with the AP option?
« on: November 14, 2009, 12:42:15 PM »
I know I did and my new chars - with which i want to find enjoyment for a time in Lotro before I go on vacation - will be a Dwarf Guardian and a Hunter (which races can be these again?).

I know I have a guardian in the form of Beosvir already, but to be honest, I dont enjoy the game much with him at the moment.

first of all AP?


I believe any race can be hunters

and look what they are doing (Jon will hate this)

may take the pain out of getting my guardian to 55 (so he can use those 3-in-1 tools)

Guardians are no fun solo they need to be in a group, and not enough of us play, which is why my toons arent in HoJ, blame yourselves :P

I'd be up for group stuff, but at the same time how good are the instances as thats what I'd prefer to do - are they as good and as time consuming as Fornost, GA etc used to be, or are they not worth it now - assuming there is repeatable instances I can do in my mid 50's that arent those 3man jobbies (the very idea of a 3man instance puts me off as they seemd really short when we did those in Eregion). Hell, i'd be up for trying to get people into the guild again - and corp and war guild etc etc, but :time: as new blood in any game is always good to have, although i suppose I have to get over my issues on recruiting mouthbreathers ;)

As for increased exp - FFS TURBINE THE FUCKING GAME IS ABOUT THE JOURNEY WHEN THE END IS MANY BOOKS AWAY! Just stop pushing people to a cap in a game that really isnt about cap when you get into its lore.  Happy now Garry? ;)

in US its +25% Codey lowered it to 10% :D


Moria instances are all fun (although only done as part of Radiance grind, which is fine with the ones you can do quests at same time), i assume youve never done URU or CD they are awesome

Done both - with you :)

And yes they were awesome - from what i have seen Turbine have negated them in SoM though by giving people other ways to get class items. Which means people wont experience the game/plot fully unless they are a lore whore and do all the books, but with moria being able to get into without a specific pre-book from Shadows, I cant see that changing :(

Anyways, cannot depress myself about this - will put me off the game again and I so very much dont want that to happen.

started a LM myself recently so for someone who can lvl fast like i did my RK i just hope this xp boost doesnt mean all my quests will be grey before i do them.

the xp thing does seem they want ppl to hurry along to cap i suppose its to get more ppl to buy the xpack.

i bought the all singing/dancing version of mirkwood even if i decided before i was not going to give in to buying a glorified free content update /sigh. im so easily lead.

the skirmish system itself is worth the cost, it just sounds ace, and available at LVL 30+ tunable by group size and with 3 difficulty options, random each time, usable siege weapons in some, and bosses that may decide to appear. Can you say Helms Deep here we come ;)

and we are talking about 12 skirmishes at launch with more to be added, more content there than in some expansions ive seen in other games, 3 new 3 man instances, 1 new 6 man instance and the new 12 man raid. Hardly what id expect in a "free" update.

They didnt do a very good PR job of this expansion, it was stealthily jumped out to us, but it seems theyve been working on this rather than fixing the MoM issues. But the level of content is in no way what youd get in a content update people are saying that as they "wanted" Rohan as the next paid for expansion.

I'll be there, with the AP. Will re-activate the account next week sometime prolly, or at the start of the next latest. Slightly buys with everything atm, and I don't want LOTRO to distract me from the RL things now :)

I've also ordered the AP.

I'm really into Lotro again atm, as its the first time in ages I've looked forward to logging into a game just for the enjoyment of playing.

CO is on hold for me until I see some more content in the next few months.

Even though my Hobbit Hunter is 30, I rerolled a Man Hunter last night for RP reasons. And watching the Gondorian Rangers in Two Towers last night didn't help!

His name is Iladen, and is currently lvl 8. Kurtt is now 52 and muching his way through Moria. I LOVE how LI's work :D

Account reactivated, pre-ordered AP.
