Official LOTRO thread


Recommended Posts

I still play this quite often and am on the Windfola server if anyone cares to venture with me. In fact I just started my 4th toon a Captain - and loving it! If you come to my server you can catch me as Makali, Emeryl, Celess, or Allegretto. Can't wait to see more neowinians.

Man things have been wierd here. I should be in today though. (Wednesday.)

Hope to see you there! I'll try to get in earlier today since I saw you'd been in before me last time.

Plus, I see Turbine is testing a .net 2.0 launcher. Nice.

Where did you read that they are testing a new launcher?

I won't be starting another character very soon, but when I do I will check you up.

I am actually doing a Man Captain right now on the Firefoot server!

what is your characters name on firefoot, i have been inactive on there for about a month but i am going to try to start playing again with my measily lvl 26 elf champion

Where did you read that they are testing a new launcher?

It's on the official forums, Turbine Download Manager, apparently will cover both LOTRO and DDO, and should be a lot faster.

They're using it for the test server right now, but no idea when it'll go live on the main servers.

I noticed that bman, I hope we can get some gaming in sometime. I don't keep the client on my home machine anymore as it became pretty hopeless.

So bman! You haven't logged in for quite some time it seems!

I have two characters having a go at that server now.

The launcher might already be live with book 14, but I can't tell. There's little direct info on that so it seems unlikely. All I could find was that the trial downloader uses it...

Yea I haven't been logged in for awhile, been working on AoC and a few other games, and waiting for my Lifetime Membership to start next month, then I will be back at it like normal. So hold your horses lol, I will be able to quest and **** with ya soon!

No addons is not all bad. Think of the addons that are borderline cheating. Pre BC in WoW there was one that would use your anti-fear trinket for you whenever you got feared. Decursive gave healers near invulnerability to DoTs. Don't get me wrong, I like the addons I have. But I was reaching for a positive side of things.

I haven't touched LotRO since I was in the beta. Is there anywhere I can get a summary of info regarding what's changed since then? My biggest issue with the game was the fact that it felt like just another fantasy MMO. You start the game killing bears and giant spiders... oh boy. Where's the feel of Middle Earth in that?

    • Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Marshall Major V in Midnight Blue is currently $89.99 on Amazon, down from $169.99. That's 47% off and $80 saved on a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from one of the most recognizable names in audio. The Major V is Marshall's take on a long-lasting everyday headphone. The headphones deliver 100+ hours of wireless playtime, which puts them in a completely different category from most Bluetooth headphones that hover around 30-40 hours. You’re charging this thing once a week at most, and with wireless charging supported, you don’t have to worry about additional cables. Marshall promises its signature sound profile, with strong bass, smooth mids, and clear highs. There’s a customizable M-button, which you can set to quickly access Spotify Tap, your EQ settings, or a voice assistant. The design is foldable and lightweight at 186 grams, so it’s easy to pack for travel. And finally, the faux leather finish gives the Major V a sleek, premium look. At $89.99, the Major V Midnight Blue is a genuinely strong buy for anyone who wants a reliable daily headphone without paying premium prices. It’s also worth mentioning that the Cream and Brown variants are also discounted to $89.99, though from a lower original price of $99.99.

    • I remember when all games had demos; it was a normal thing, not a limited time promotion.
    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
