I Finally Decided to Try LOTRO

Join the Conclave of Codex Cardinals today!

Warden is a bit too simplistic and boring. It's supposed to be an advanced class, but it's in the same easymode category as captains and champions.

You serious? Whenever I come back from a break I can jump back on my Champ or RK and get the hang of it again within 5 mins. Warden? No chance in hell. Gambits are a pain to memorize and it takes 3 or 4 key presses to do what other classes do with one. They keep trying to simplify it, but it's still the most convoluted class I've ever played in any MMO.

Anyway, there's nothing for me in this game atm. They fucked up Moria, and I have no interest in the new endgame grind, and I'm certainly not rerolling from scratch. Plus they want 10 bucks for a simple additional inventory bag. FU Turbine. But you guys have fun.

 

[dextermorgan]

Last time I played I had a Dwarf Guardian. Anyway, I'll download and try again, should be more fun with dex bros.

 

[Zewp]

Yeah, but once you've got the hang of gambits again it's easy going. The hard part is only memorizing them, and that doesn't take long at all.

 

[IDtenT]

Oh, and friend me. Name is Laerea.

 

[King Crispy]

You play a girl?

 

[IDtenT]

You play a girl?

I play a man of great importance!

I'll allow you to be my daddy, though. :3

 

[Andyman Messiah]

You play a girl?

YOUR LITTLE GIRL FIXATION MUST END, CRISPERTON!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dextermorgan]

My handle is Dextosi, add me to the kinship.

 

[IDtenT]

Okay. Added to friends list, but we need to be on at the same time for me to invite you. Same goes for the rest of you. Still don't know if we'll get 8 characters together. Think I should recruit outside the codex? Just make all the Codex members officers.

 

[dextermorgan]

Does the 8 thing apply to toons or accounts? Because we could set up alts (they're useful for crafting anyway).

 

[IDtenT]

Not sure, I'm assuming characters and not full fledged accounts.

 

[Severian Silk]

I have a lvl ~55 Burglar, but have no interest in starting up again.

 

[dextermorgan]

IDtenT I could see your logoff times but can't message you and don't get notified when you're online. Have you been messing with your privacy settings or something? Anyway, got my toon up to lvl15 Guardian with Apprentice Metalsmith Mastery. About to purchase a horse and a skill to go with it. If anything, the game seems even more grindey (Turbine point are everywhere now) than the last time I played.

 

[IDtenT]

I don't know anything about no privacy settings. It doesn't seem like you can message offline peoples. We just have to make sure we're on at the same time. It's morning here now so...

 

[IDtenT]

So far it's only Me, AP and Dexter. Really need at least two others to join. I've already created an alt and I'm sure someone else will too, but we need 8 in total.

 

[Zewp]

I'll leave my client to update overnight.

 

[Froglok]

I've got it downloaded but haven't made a char. Will probably make a minstrel or something

Does it matter what race we pick? Do you start in the same area?

 

[dextermorgan]

Race matters in that you have different traits and there are some limitations on what race can choose which profession. Starting areas vary from race to race.

 

[anus_pounder]

I don't think the race traits actually matter all that much in the long run, but I'm only level 8 so what do I know.

 

[Zewp]

As far as I know, certain classes are better suited to certain races. As an example, a level 60 man Warden will be stronger than a level 60 Elf Warden.

 

[anus_pounder]

But are you enough of a min-maxer to care ? Nothing wrong if you are though. Isn't that what MMO PvPs are all about ?

 

[Zewp]

Personally I don't really care. I often just go for the race I like most.

I will, however, mention that I had both an Elven and Man Loremaster, and I had a much easier time with the man. That might be because I was more skilled and understood the class a bit better when I started the human loremaster, though.

As for my client, it seems it's fucked. It simply refuses to update. I'll redownload the entire thing over the weekend.

 

[IDtenT]

We'll recreate the kinship if it expires before you come on board. I'm hoping AP and Dexter are working on alts.

Also remember to add me Laerea and Dextosi to friend lists, so that we can invite you.
