Yes, yes it does. Though, maybe that's representative of the dwarves' strip mining?

But, there is a patch coming out today. So maybe that'll fix several of the issues we have with LOTRO.

Thanks to everyone for all this information. I think I'll consider this in the summer when my schedule opens up a bit.

I also found this review interesting.

Uh oh, apparently the latest update has "nerfed" just about everything...

Nerfed = lowered its power, likely because of complaints about it being too powerful.

All the armour defense has been lowered, the "health" amounts, etc...

Not sure if this will be a good or a bad thing. Personally I didn't feel that anything was "too easy." I don't want it to take me a year or two to max out one character, myself...

TURBINE YOU HAD (hopefully still have) A GOOD THING GOING FOR YOU, PLEASE DON'T SCREW IT UP.

Sorry. I haven't played it yet since the update (it's brand new), so I'd better not panic.

Probably the uber-1337 beta testers who have no jobs and play games all day long had maxed out their characters and were getting bored...

I say we kill them


err.... in game... yes, yes, in game, attack their characters in Monster play

I haven't had a chance to test the game after the big patch... might get to it in a while, but I don't understand why they'd did some of the "retouching" (let's not say nerfing) they did.

For example, it seems to me that they weakened (even further) the Captain class... suposedly a meele class, it'd take me for bloody ever to kill just about anything that was not two levels lower than me. I got tired and started playing my burglar.

Fortunately, my little hobbit burglar is much more fun. While it's by no means a heavy-hitter on a "fair fight", who said that I'd ever give them a fair fight? and even then, I was able to take two blue orcs and a white one almost all at the same time and survive using only one minor Athelas essence potion.

The captain would die from two light blue spiders.

By the way, have you guys checked out the "combat primer for fellowships" on the forum? PLEASE Tell me that people do not play like that

"No-one should talk, except to say that they need a heal or to communicate that there was an add"

The guy who wrote it is a pompous @)#*#%.... if I want to discuss Balrog Wings while I smack the heck out of an Ucorn, I WILL

Still, at least the graphics are looking better every time around (even in my computer, with the "child drawing with crayons" graphic settings).

How come your characters weren't in the kinship?

We might have been able to keep it if they were...

I think they have chosen to take the captain down the road of inspiration...which is what the minstral does so much better...

I believe he would be one of the uber-1337 players I was refering to earlier.

Probably helpful when one is in the grip of mortal combat...especially on the PVP side.

Well, I haven't noticed any difference in the minstrel class...and I suppose no one would notice any difference if they hadn't played beta. Still, Turbine worries me sometimes...

So, who thinks they're buying the game?

I think I've been bamboozled into pre-ordering....
