Official Discussion: Helm's Deep NDA Drop.

[Elisawen]

ROFLMAO, now this is funny... Folks, Helms Deep is definitely playable. yes, their are changes, some better than other. Does that make any class unplayable? NO. I would say that their is a lot of animosity towards the change because players do not want or like change. So to try to get it put back the way they like it player will post, flame, troll do anything they can to give something a bad rep.

Are the players going to have to reset their Hot keys? yes
Are the players going to have to develop new play styles? yes
will these changes mess up the macro's players have set up? most definitely.

bottom line, the classes are all still playable, the creeps are still playable, the quests are completable, the zones are explorable, the crafting is chugging along and the big battles will be there as well. dont take my word for it or any of the negative posts word for. form your own opinion, watch the videos! visit a friend who has Helms Deep!

Playable is one thing, fun is another... Oh yes, I can press 1-2-3, but is it fun? No. Just stop with the "do not want or like change" (be creative for once). I do, but then I would like something that is at least fun or maybe even challenging (now THAT would be something!). HD and the changes are incredibly boring compared to what we have now. To be a part of a BETA where we are told that we say does not matter if it is questioning the direction of the game, then well... no wonder the vocal majority turned into a vocal minority. I found it hilarious that someone asked for an objective view and 3 (three) council members answered. But hey, be content, us awful endgamers are leaving, most have left that I know, and this will be the peaceful Hello Frodo Online that is playable.

Oh - landscape and such is gated behind Epic, correct? So no crossing the river without purchasing HD? So no, the zones are not explorable then? (Would love this to be wrong) (It was, only did the Beta through the Epic quest line Ty for pointing that out)

I have truly loved this game and I have been passionate about it and dragged most of my relatives into it. Guess what I will be saying now about the game? Good job on making a "playable" game.

The lovely RP-folks on Laurelin will have me coming back - thank you all for being there!
