As someone who manages a software quality department, I can't say this is the best approach to debugging your application. Bug fixes should happen before anyone sees any of this, and I'm sure every...

A couple of comments on healing and dpsing. As someone who used to do nothing but heal on RK, I've found that over time I've gotten used to most of the changes, but there are a couple comments I...

I think you have to keep in mind a few things about the landscape of LOTRO. Keep in mind that LOTRO is a game designed to make money.

When Isenguard came out, most of the people who would buy the...

Let me level with you. To me, with what this game has become, there is really only one reason to come back, and that's if you miss playing with the people you used to play with. If you don't have...

1. There are no set armors yet, just individual pieces from quests and instances. The Big battles do not give armor, only jewelry.
2. The best of the 95 crafted gear is almost identical to the...

I totally support this, for years my inventory on my chars has been filled with 8-10 LIs. I would love to have that space back.

One of my favorite things in MMO RPGs is loot. Understanding a loot and scaling systems and using it to your advantage as a player can help you outperform your peers and distinguish yourself. LOTRO...

As someone who has played a primarily healing RK since level 65, when most of us thought there would never be another expansion, I can say I like healing on RK less now than I did then.

It was a...

A couple from playing my RK up to cap:

Quality of life:

Please correct rifflers and chisels to have meaningful functions
Please examine our class items to correct them for the changes
Please...

A list of things that make me happy in this update, and a list of things that make me sad.

Happy things!

Beautiful landscapes, they are amazing!
Goldilocks and the Three Bears! Loved it!
Very...

I'm a great lover of loot in this game. The shiny items and the social aspect are the main reasons I play this game. Update 10 had a rather tremendous amount of loot, and several new ideas about how...

We just completed Bells T2 Challenge and got no seals? Plus all the deeds awarded only medallions?

Do non-raids not rewards seals anymore?

It's a perfectly valid question!

No you cannot. You need to use an offensive skill on a target to change.

Because my tat mit on BR is capped now I'm ditching Fidelity for Idealism.

That makes my total setup:
Zeal (Armor, Phys Mit, Morale)
Loyalty (Vit, Power, Armor)
Innocence (Phys Mit, Resist, Tat...

As an endgame focused RK who primarily heals, I think your healing assessment is spot on. I'm quite happy with the state of heals since the last revamp except for one thing, we really could use a...

If you have no life like me, here are my jewelry recommendations : D

Ears: Earring of the Mathom Tender (2x) from Moria Skirmish Raids at level 85 - 150 will 113 vitality
Neck: The Necklace of...

So just a quick follow up to my first review since now I've had some time to work with 9.1.

1. I was happy to see the addition of good tier relics to all the new runs, and the increased drop rate...

My only real concern at the moment is RK Lighting total damage output. When traited full lightning, I can only get up to about 1400 dps on a really good streak, where as compatibly geared champs and...

They are indeed in game. I just crafted myself one and thankfully crit :D

I've updated my tables with the changes from today's update, including the introduction of the previously seen bracelets. Let me know if you spot any errors.
...

I am also very interested in the points the OP has raised here - especially regarding the gold pieces dropping from the correct instances. We have been holding off runs of the content on the gold...

So I spend a lot of time around items in this game, and I started to notice something today.

Remember items with TCM? That's Tat Crit Multiplier. What that stat does is change the base amount a...

Loot is one of my favorite things in this game, and in many games I play, as so I thought I'd write up my "review" of the update 9 loot. I've spent a lot of time around game loot systems, and also...

If you are referring to the crafted ones seen on BR, they were not included in the build we are running on live. Those were pretty amazing pieces though.

My understanding is that at the moment,...

I have to agree, they are quite low. After 30 runs, I had not seen one piece drop in peak. I did however get my necklace from Goblin in only about 20 runs, which I felt was reasonable.

Honestly...
