Greetings, I am back home now :)  I can hang along for another Barrows run :)

Nice run, my warden got several new purples to wear :D   

Tanking as a warden sure is interesting, it is ok when the drains and goads are up and running, but boy it is hard to snatch aggro back if somebody does snatch it. Noticed it was better for me to forget all about those nice gambits to increase block or evading, because meanwhile somebody already stole the aggro away for good :P

Need to look up some guides on what other wardens do to keep aggro before 42 (IIRC that is when the AoE drain becomes available, should make things a lot easier).

Post by: Keggi on May 03, 2009, 09:36:42 PM
not having played my warden since shortly after they were available it was hard to remember the gambits so it was a case of pressing any skill and seeing what happened.

did get the hang of the warden taunt by the end.

but we had a full group of guildies and was great fun only one wipe with some of us not having played our roles in a group before.

go us............ ;)

I healed and no-one died (except that wipe and when I had no power during Sambrog's last few hundred health!)
Title: Re: Another barrows run anytime soon?
Post by: Gunnarr on May 04, 2009, 11:07:00 AM
I felt rather stupid, probably at least party due to my lowish level (at least I hope so!)
Lots of misses, very few crits to get these yummie burglar's advantages going....lucky you guys were there to pull me through! ;)

I do like burglars though. They're like wow rogues without that stupid "you have to do as much damage as possible" thingie that wow-rogues have hanging over their heads.
Instead, I can do the things that I most enjoyed on my rogue: stunning people that went after healers/squishies, semi-tanking by debuffing, etc :)

Anybody interested in a Greater Barrows run some time during the weekend? Swuul the champion will hit 20 today or tomorrow (depending if outside the rain stops or not), and I'd need new heavy armour from him ;)

Sunday good for you - anytime after the British Grand Prix coverage finishes is good for me.

I can bring either my Minstrel, or my Burg or my Captain :)

If you don't mind wiping my Warden could try to tank the lot. ;)
Killing you all a few times over sounds like a great way to celebrate the start of my holidays!  ;D

Ill be there on sunday probably on my captain (40). Yes hes well above the required level but he has a  few old quests i'd like to finish off in there.
Failing that if ur short of a healer ill bring my runekeeper along (39)
Title: Re: Another barrows run anytime soon?
Post by: Gunnarr on June 21, 2009, 09:22:20 AM
Meh. I just disconnected while on my warden and got locked out.
I'm writing a ticket as we speak but hope they'll fix me in time. :(
At what time did you guys want to start anyway?
Title: Re: Another barrows run anytime soon?
Post by: Jarkko on June 21, 2009, 02:07:57 PM
Any estimate on the time? I am going off-line in a moment, but will be back online for the run :)
Title: Re: Another barrows run anytime soon?
Post by: Jarkko on June 21, 2009, 06:54:37 PM
Thanks all for the quick run :)  Special thanks to Mac who stayed around long enough even though his favourite show began on TV :)

I finally succeeded to block (to open the deed for the heavy shield trait) after it had been pointed to me I can not block while having Fervour on :D  Well, I think getting the shield trait won't be priority -> have to block 1,000 times and at most 100 per day are counted for it. Maybe when I get Glory stance available, fighting in no stance dries up the power pool *real* fast  :o

Really good fun, not done group stuff much on ma burg before - was a eyeopener as to the class's potential.
Title: Re: Another barrows run anytime soon?
Post by: Caradir on June 21, 2009, 08:22:43 PM
burgs are THE best solo class and i do not joke on that they can solo EMs of same level.

I'm getting seriously miffed off about LotRO atm. It's a nice game IF it works, but lately it's been kicking me out with a certain predictability again.
The last two times this happened a full reinstall helped - but that usually takes a few hours, and then it's fixed for a few days to weeks at most before it starts again.
I'm puzzled to what causes it. Mac theorized that it could be some part of my hardware causing disconnects, but if that's the case a reinstall shouldn't have any effect whatsoever - instead of a temporary effect.
Tbh I'm contemplating to just stop playing again, even though I just bought another month to do that barrows run with you guys - which I didn't make >_<

is there a cache of some kind that can cause you problems? for me this is the case with EVE now and then

I'll join you for a Great Barrows run, just tell when you intend to go. Heck, I can level up a minstrel to be as a healer there if you give me a few days (even a PUG should be no problem when there is a tank and healer looking for four random DPSers :) ).

Incidently, you do not happen have some new nVidia gfx card that support stereo vision? It is confirmed that the new nVidia cards together with new nVidia drivers cause massive problems (huge drop in FPS, game crashing randomly etc) in WoW, and I think the same could be happening in LOTRO too (altough I am far from being tech-savvy, so don't take my word for it). Apparently the cure for that is to go to your Programs and Features list and manually uninstall the "nVidia Stereoscopic 3D Driver".

Anyway, try dropping gfx settings and sound settings a bit, and don't forget to defrag the LOTRO game folder. Also, try to install LOTRO in some other HD partition from the Windows installation. I have my HD partitioned in two, C:\ has everything not related to games (including Windows) and D:\ has everything related to games, and I defrag  D:\ at least 2-3 times a week.

Several things ..

Firstly give us the list of what components you have in your system.

CPU , Motherboard, GPU, what version of windows, how much ram .

2nd,

are there particular times or location or things you are doing when it happens?


The reason im asking is that ive seen (and had myself) issues that occur for no apparent reason. For example I had a machine with a Geforce 9600 GTX gpu in it. This machine played most things very well but WoW just didnt like it for some reason. I swapped it for a 9800GTX using the same software and same drivers and WoW worked fine. Sometimes a game just doesnt like a particular part of a system. Ive still no idea to this day why it didnt like the 9600  :-[

Oh and one last thing. what security software do you run. AV and Firewalls are well known game gimpers

i only ever have issues with LOTRO if i turn on DX10 check that box is unticked, they fix it and it works until next patch then is screwed again so i just gave up on the DX10 support they offer ;)

You are approaching Great Barrows ranges :) (18ish and up).

Theres several group quests around Breeland that some of my alts need and you'll be at soon too.

Hmm, ok, I am away this whole weekend and Gunnarr's account only runs for about 10 more days, so might hop over to 14 day trial soon, and will start over. Think I like it enough to pour some money into the game.

Will delay the levels a bit though...
Not the best move in retrospect, as i will be doing Dwarf guardian twice in short succession, but considering I only get my wages in about 10 days, it was the only solution for me (plus finding out if i liked the game enough ofc).
Title: Re: Another barrows run anytime soon?
Post by: Mangala on July 10, 2009, 08:23:37 AM
Get a new char to 12ish and my Elven Lm can join you ;) (just checked all my alts levels).
Title: Re: Another barrows run anytime soon?
Post by: Warcold on July 10, 2009, 08:28:16 AM
kay, cool
really like the dwarf guardian btw, have only had to run twice and never died yet, so that's quite nice: cool title  :D
hope my 2nd Guardian will manage the same  :)

will need an alt too though, as I noticed the Armourer vocation is a bit fecked without a Forester to back you up

My son would like to see Greater Barrows on his champion. I could provide a minstrel to heal, warden to tank or champion to DPS, but would there be others interested in yet another tour to the place? Would Sunday afternoon be a good time, for example 15-16 GMT or so?
Title: Re: Another barrows run anytime soon?
