Hi Elderotter,

I'm not going to poke fun at you, or argue to continue fighting as I understand that this is your game along with Jackdog, and Lugal and many others here.  HOWEVER you should re-read the content of my reply, as I stated it was a group orientated quest to be done by a group.  The quest was unable to be passed around to other's.  I believe this was clearly stated.

I think I had stated about 10 time's that LOTRO is a good game, infact very good.  I guess I could understand how everyone is so defensive here because it's mmorpg.com and this is what everyone does with all games on this board.

Opposite of what some of you think.  I'm a very social player in my mmo's.  I really get along with others and often I'm the one that brings ppl together to have fun.  You know the shy solo players, that don't know how to play as a group.   Well they are my friends and often I change them around.

I really really would like to play this game.  Infact I still think I will despite the chain group orientated quest.  I'll find a guild that uses ventrilo voice chat, That may help to overcome what Turbine should fix.

To all that love LOTRO,,,,,,,,, Do you not agree that group quest should not be chain quest ?  After all your getting ppl together to reach a common goal, and everyone should be able to do the same quest at hand.

I know where your coming from on that, it seems this is the one big problem I have seen in game for many people. A friend and I always ran into this issue and when we did find people to group up to do these chain quests we always ended up re-doing everything to get the others caught up in the chain quest to where we needed them to be.

Then you would have someone drop from the group or couldnt finish so you had to find another to replace them and usually ended up repeating everything again to get them caught up, very frustrating.

Lotro is a really good game but I must agree the group chain quests are a major let down as it got to the point to where I didnt want to do them anymore but the sad thing was those quests usually had the best rewards.

Thank you Enforcer71,

LOTRO could also have 10 million people playing this game, if they could only fix one simple problem.

once again Page, if you find a good kinship your issue will quickly become a non issue. In outr guild it is commonplace for us to go help people through rough spots in quest chains.

I will agree that chain group quests can be a pain, keeping a group together is often not easy.  But that happens when the quest is just 1 step also.  I am currently playing on Firefox  - i have several toons from lvl 40 down to lvl 4 - my current favorite is Dillway a lvl 24(right now) Captain.  If you are on that server and need help let me know, np.  My current Kin does not have ventrilo so I will not invite you to that. 

  Every game needs fixes.  However, too many fixes addressing everyone's issues makes all games seem to be the same game.  Which is also bad.  In my opinion, the 2 best games out there are LOTRO and EVE.  I would not want them to change much, add content yes, but not change into WoW or something else.  Just my opinion.

lol, if they didn't have the best rewards no one would EVER do them.

Another question, 

I'm in a hotel for the next 2 weeks and my play LOTRO on my PC when I get home, I have an 880GTX card for DX10. I never owned a DX10 game yet.

What differences could you expect between DX9 and DX10 with everything on both on max settings ?

 The main differences I saw were the shadows, water, reflection, and textures.  DX10 looks plain awesome I think.

The shadows and water in my opinion. DX10 water in AoC has gets the nod by a hair imho but LoTROs shadows are the best in any game I have ever seen.

very cool thanks :)
