Heard that Lord of the Rings Online been rising in popularity recently. Worth try it? Any tips for a beginner? Minstrel or Rune master?
Hey FaggotsMy name is Pushdûg, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are weak, puny, knife-ears who spend every of their day looking at stupid ass pictures. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever had meat back on the menu? I mean, I guess it's fun making fun of people because of your own insecurities, but you take it to a whole new level. This is even worse than seething about silmarils. Don't be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I'm pretty much perfect. I was captain of the westfold kill squad, and starter on the dwarf-head bowling team. What sports do you play, other than "prance around baking lembas"? I also get maggoty bread, and have a banging hot captive (She just blew me; shit was SO cash). You are all faggots and should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.Pic Related: It's me and my bitch.
I think the game is worth it. The amount of content made available to f2p players has risen dramatically in the last few years and you'll have tons of shit to do.I can't speak to either minstrels or rune masters. Never played either.
Have there been any improvements in server performance? Now that Turtle wow is going away and LOTRO has some kind of UI scaling implemented i might give LOTRO another chance.
>>2355661they mostly fixed high resolution support so I started playing again.it's a slow burn. don't expect this to be some sweaty experience like wow or ffxiv.definitely worth playing if you just want to chill out in a mmo though.if you're trying to decide between minstrel and rune master it sounds like you want to heal. minstrel is an OG class and rune master is a DLC class, if that matters at all to you. one plays instruments and shouts, the other throws lightning and fire.>>2367628servers still have lag issues at times. the only way I can see them fixing that is if the game somehow skyrockets in popularity and starts earning serious revenue.
>>2369908Yeah, occasionally the lag will pop up but it's fairly rare nowadays. There's some parts that are just naturally poor performance wise though. Southwest Angmar around the village of Aughaire is the primary example of this. It's almost like the server itself has trouble loading shit for that chunk of the game. Huge delays in landscape LOD updating causing occasional black screens while it loads, enemies not being visible or having animations play, etc.Don't know what it is specifically about it, it's not like it is particularly crowded with stuff like, say, Minas Tirith. I haven't been there yet, but I hear there's occasionally similar issues in Minas Morgul.
>>2369908Runekeepers have been free since many years by now. It is not a DLC class.>>2374248The lag in that specific corner of Angmar has been for quite some time now, at least since 2021. Apparently if you play in low grahic settings it will run faster. It seemingly has to do with that area split into various small chunks that don't cache at all and must constantly get reloaded. If you slowly get to the edge of a chunk, it will load on very low graphics quality and the moment you step in, the screen will turn black
>>2375018Ah, I figured it was something like that.
Oh - something else to consider for someone who's new to playing this:Once you get to Rohan, there's warsteeds and mounted combat. People tend to complain about it but I rather like it. If you've played any amount of Mount & Blade it will feel very familiar in how the horse handles and how you control its speed. What will feel odd is combining it with the tab-targetting combat system.Back when the servers were really bad with lag it could be a nightmare to do - but now that performance more or less behaves itself it is lightyears better.
>>2375018>Runekeepers have been free since many years by now. It is not a DLC class.free DLC is still DLC.
Didn't this game add niggers to all the ethnicities for humans?

Inscribable celestial shields worth anything or only OS?
I'm playing on Grond (EU), if anyone needs help getting carried through instances or something, reply with ign
>>2378582so what you're saying is, they were not there at the launch of the video game, and instead were added later as downloadable content?
>>2382661Actually back then it was still a box purchase.
You guys are not doing a good job selling me this game. Try maybe being less obvious shills, perhaps?
