| This game deserves our support Posted: 31 May 2021 06:29 AM PDT I was prompted to post these thoughts after finally getting tired of hearing people complain about having to pay for certain things in the game or the price of the expansions. I love this game and in spite of its flaws I think it is great for what it sets out to do. The care taken into designing the landscape alone is awe-inspiring. If you are already planning to reply with everything wrong with the game you are wasting your time. I am well aware of its flaws, I just do not believe they outweigh the good. If the bad outweighs the good for you then you simply do not like the game and should not bother playing it. I do not understand this entitled attitude where some expect everything to be free to them. If not for charging for things in the game LOTRO would simply cease to exist, and they cannot afford to give away past expansions either. And those of us happily paying for all the things are supporting the game so others can play for free, even if limited. Yes, some of the game is designed to make you feel you have to pay, but the flip side of this is you would not have a game to play if they did not do this. They cannot go full sub, they cannot go completely free to play....this is the meet you halfway. This game will never reach the players of a modern AAA MMO like ESO, FFXIV, or WoW regardless of expansion price. People who don't want to pay for expansions or VIP are not going to stick around anyway. Bottom line to me.....if LOTRO is good enough for your time......LOTRO is good enough for your money. If you truly enjoy it then cough up some money to support it, look at it as a donation to keep the game alive rather than you being ripped off. [link] [comments] |
| Looking for a kinship on Arkenstone Posted: 31 May 2021 11:55 PM PDT Hello, I have lv130 warden, captain and champion all with pretty good gear. I do lots of pug's which is why my gear is alright but I really need to be in a kinship to get the remm and AD t3 clears. [link] [comments] |
| Class question about solo levelling Posted: 31 May 2021 05:24 PM PDT Hello everyone, I've decided to start back Lotro this summer. Considering I'd like to play as a Dwarf, I'm divided between playing as a Hunter or a Rune-Keeper. I'm pretty sure Hunter is a safe-bet and strong pick for solo levelling, but what about the Rune-Keeper ? Will I be able to level alone with it, and if so at what pace ? Thanks and I hope to see you soon in Middle-Earth ! [link] [comments] |
| This game does NOT deserve our support (currently) Posted: 31 May 2021 10:23 AM PDT Look, I love this game. I love the old community. I love the world and the stories within it. But I recently un-subscribed, and I am ready to be downvoted, and that's fine. How can so many of you keep justifying buying these store items, and the old content at its current price? I get you guys still like this game, and want to see it thrive, but that will not happen with how its being handled. SSG has done nothing to earn our trust or justify the costs they want for their product. I want to point you guys to a few comments, that sum up alot of what I would like to say, in a cleaner way first. /u/Sideshow117 sums up nicely what I believe to be a major issue with the game. The content and pricing, and figuring out what you HAVE to buy, with the regions, then what content fills X gap? I also want to add that the trove does not give you all of the content that is available in the Xpac's. On OLD ass content. That is ridiculous. /u/sonofdavid123 also sums up some thoughts I share. You shouldn't need to grind your ass off, to earn content that has been readily available since 2007/2008, etc. The quest packs, and expansions are the biggest thing holding people off. I can't think of any game that does this, other than LOTRO. /u/DisasterRisk also pointed out something in my post I made last week. The zones and leveling really are convoluted. I hate being overleveled, SO easily, so early on in the game, blowing through content. Any sense of challenge is gone. And this "difficulty" slider that they are adding, is not a good fix. Make your worlds content worth doing, and interesting for new players. This tortoise XP halting tool, is silly as well, spend currency to NOT gain progress. Just open up zones for free / premium players so they don't need to figure out what "region" of quests they have to buy, and make things worth the effort of doing. ___________________________________________________________ With the amount of money you need to put into this game to own all of the content, things like the stat tomes, XP/Deed boosts are what people are using to justify "donating to the game", which ruin the already terrible player experience, by becoming even MORE overleveled. They just want an easier time, and paying for a HEAVY convenience to get ahead, imo you dont appreciate the early game, which means its not good enough as it is. Then currency increase, STORAGE, crafting tools, crafting supply bags, the mount speed boost, and so on, they are all basically essential if you want to have a decent footing in this game. So you are looking at spending alot of money on old content, then need plenty of these things, if you want to take the game seriously and not rush the content, which is lining their pockets even more. And I KNOW the people that play this game alot, spend loads on the LOTRO store based on the cosmetics I see around and reading chats and looking at youtube videos. If that is how this company plans on staying afloat, that will not last. They need a change. ___________________________________________________________ Sorry if some things aren't explained too well, I am not the best at it, hence why I linked some comments that deserve to be seen. I just really want to get the point across, that so much of what this company is doing is predatory and there are other games that will warrant your time and money, much better. I'm saying this as someone who's played since 2009 off and on and still loves this game and the world. But that only goes so far, when you have a company being this fucking greedy. I can't get anyone I know to want to play anymore due to the payment model. I am not saying make everything free, but they are so far behind in the times that they need a modern business plan. Like, sub and get some older content for free. Ditch the quest packs, they already gave them away for free before, they clearly can do it again, permanently. [link] [comments] |

| 130 Loremaster on Arkenstone looking to raid Posted: 31 May 2021 05:03 AM PDT Good day to all! I've recently come back to the game after a fairly long break and am looking into getting into end game content. Are there any people here from Arkenstone that are willing to teach me the ropes and/or are in a raiding kinship welcoming beginners? [link] [comments] |
