I genuinely hope I'm wrong, but from what we've seen, this feels like we're headed towards doing something with a worse outcome than not doing it at all. Even if the bare minimum recommendations in...

How do you figure it was never intended to be this way? Way back at either 85 or 95 cap, they removed the ability to swap gear in-combat (which had been in place from the game's launch) and at the...

You're hung up on the specifics, and missing the point. Pretend I said Captain instead of Guard, or Beorning heals instead of minstrel, or whichever other musical chairs class you want.

Also, if...

So you think 6 guards would stomp 4 RK/Hunters and a Minstrel and rk healer? I haven't played the server, but I'm having a very hard time believing that.

None of which gets past the point that if...

Mostly fair points, you don't remember what you've forgotten until you're reminded.

I do intend to at least attempt familiarizing myself when the server comes back up.

I would say, if this is...

On the burglar point, keep in mind that burg either has to give up CDG and Trip, or will have to go without Dust, so kiting really won't be much of an option for the burg, and any ranged class that...

Why does that have to be it? This server is going to appeal to PvP players, but my personal experience is that 90% of the dedicated PvP'ers in the past on live servers were at least at one point in...

Thats why I asked if you had to cap mastery with quest gear or if you could, but at the loss of other stats. If you're capping no matter what choices you make in whatever the last round of quest...

I ask if it forces you to cap mastery, because if there are multiple quest gear choices for each armor class, there could be the option to not cap mastery, and instead max health, and then focus on...

If a glory/renown per kill system were brought over, I think it needs to be more carefully vetted, even more so than saying bring back the original one. The rating system was awful; for the few and...

Does the quest gear require you max mastery?

This is probably the thing I'm most worried about with this server atm. Can anyone see this server having the population to support meaningful pvp action in 11 different zones? I get that this isn't...

How does that take away from the progression? I haven't been able to get on the server to see the actual stats, but conceptually a modest progression like seems ideal:
Quest Gear: Capped Mits,...

I'm downloading the BR client now, so I don't know if it is there already, but based on comments I'm assuming it isn't. If they aren't already available, how about bringing in stun/root/fear pots...

Now that is a nice surprise. Good to see they're more invested than what they did with the other Legacy server (or at least what I saw of it). Any chance that's both outgoing dmg and outgoing...

Hey there! Thanks for the info, much appreciated.


I'm way too far removed from any of this to know if its serious or sarcasm. quickly looking at the BR forum, it seems like the dev is taking it...

Hello, friends. I had a kick of nostalgia and next thing you know I'm downloading the LOTRO client.

I haven't logged in or even looked at the forums in about 2 years, and haven't played...

Yikes.

To be frank, the whole first paragraph is entirely wrong, and entirely antithetical to the history of LOTRO. Filikul, Watcher, DN, BG, and OD were all tanked on-level by guardians and wardens, in a...

From a classic sense, wardens always had 4 Jav skills, this would return blue and red lime to that. From a practical standpoint, that just makes things too passive. More basic classes like rks and...

Going to multi-quote a bit for emphasis, but overall this is an excellent post. I had a draft cued up with some remarkably similar ideas, so while I'm only going to point out things i disagree with...

I do agree it would be worth doing right, if they could and were willing to. I believe the former is doubtful and the latter not even a consideration, so what is the use?

Maybe you have a...

It is bugged, but only the critical defense and mitigation bonuses. The bonus to conviction healing is working just fine. My warden currently isn't level capped, but unless there is a dramatic shift...

I'm saying their insistence on pressing forward with a new itemization system that is worse, and continues to get more worse is a major part of what is forcing their hand to do this overhaul. Yes it...

You're talking a paradigm shift that flat out wont ever happen. Aud gear as its being discussed by corwellion (that i first advocated for some 4 years ago) would be a significant improvement over...
