Is Aggro short for aggression, or aggravation? A champ can be so aggressive, but the guard is so aggravating.

How much does a ILI maxed block and parry rating provide a % increase if the guard already has around 20% base block/parry, 25% with traits. Currently I don't have these on my yellow tanking belt and...

For my approach to tanking in yellow line, considering a cluster of mobs:

When approaching a mob, I active take to heart. This has quite a long animation and can be used at range.
I hit warchant...

Interesting topic and conversation. Very useful.

Regarding whether people should go for primary stats on essences (might e.g.) or secondary stats (PM, BPE etc) consider the following:

1 point...

I've been 'Axe and Board' yellow line tanking for some time and they make very effective tanks in most circumstances. I've only really just started to learn the blue line, as that is certainly better...

Installed Train Simulator 2015 which installed the Visual C++ 2010 redistributable on the first time start. After that, LOTRO fired up successfully and downloaded all the other required...

I used to be crazy like that too. This is the first time I've gone two years without a Windows reinstall. Now that is crazy.
So finally windows may be considered relatively robust. Unfortunately,...

Thanks, I suspected this was probably the issue. Currently downloading another steam game which I think installs this as part of the package. Lets see if it sorts it out!

Well, the error I get if I try running TurbineLauncher.exe directly is a missing MSVCP100.dll. There is a MSVCP71.dll file in the directory.

I personally think world chat has been a good thing. It reminds us that it is an MMO with a community of 'people' out there. Newbies don't know who to subscribe to that once amusing channel called...

I've recently reinstalled my computer. Fresh install. Tried to install lotro via steam. It downloaded the files, then after hitting play, nothing. No launcher, just nothing. Should probably just...

Nah, the vault storage of unbound keys is not a problem yet. I will store them until I get a glut of lootboxes again. Lootboxes don't stack.

Well, if the solution to the exploit problem is to wipe out the last six weeks of my life, I would find it very difficult to pick myself up and play Lotro again. I'm not saying I wouldn't, but I...

I'm not entirely sure this is the case at level cap.
I used to sell lower level lootboxes as I had so much I simply could not store them across alts. I couldn't understand why people would pay 5g...

What you have to remember, is that a level cap increase causes a much needed reset for existing level capped players. However, it just makes it more difficult for new players (which is the lifeblood...

I think half the problem is that Osgilliath is hard for those with low levels of imbuement, but a cakewalk for those with high levels of imbuement. On top of that, if you have a class which can take...

What? So a re-balance is easier with a set of moving goal posts?
Considering people are complaining that a lack of level increase leads to a player disparity with gear, even though a level increase...

It used to be the case that I would get far more lootbox drops that I would keys to open them. You could of course buy keys in the store if you really wanted to.
Now I rarely get lootboxes, but I am...

You mean the regular maintenance that used to take the servers down for those outside of US prime time? Did it actually prevent lag?

No Osgilliath gear for me either. Now that my guard has a top notch aoe weapon LI, I can run around without thought and impunity. Still not got through it with champ and hunter. Now that the champ...

What is infinite crisis? Is it watching the hobbit movies after reading the book?

Stories of development through this game. It is in the title.
The world of Lotro is so big. I did every quest where I could. I would level up and go back to those quests I could not do. I hated...

The good thing is that 3 mans are small enough to learn these skills again. Performing a CC skill in the middle of a splashing skraid is so pointless that the person that broke the skill is at less...

For me, a stun is very different to a crowd control skill. I'm not saying that stuns are not effective. But if you crowd control someone, they are out of the equation as long as no one breaks the...

So considering the troll can put a ten second fear on us. Why do fear pots not work? Pots have a long cool down, so should be used wisely.
