First off, let me say LOTRO is my all time favorite MMO, and i've played alot of others.

But to be honest, we alle know (even you!), that every game (maybe even everything in life) we love, have some flaws / missing something. So i encourage all to come with their 3 things they would change about LOTRO or just something you would like to add. Just for fun, and just to get some semi-positive (Semi because its something we would change/add) talk about LOTRO on this forum.

 

My list :

1. Make world PVMP

Yep world, as in a nasty human controlled ogre could attack you while questing in Lone Lands. Of course this is something not everyone would like, and sure they should be pve and pvp servers. A more realistic add, would be some sort of BG or Arena. Sometimes i just miss some good pvp action, and thats not possible if im alone, or only got like 30 min. I mean, you dont enter Etten on your own, and a raid often takes a couple of hours.

2. Remove radiance

And this step is even being taken care of as i write. I think its gonna be a major change, for the better. And im not the only one, as this has been a big discussion topic the for quite some time now

3. Gives us flying mounts

Yes i know, some would think its a WoW thing, but lore-wise its not even impossible. I mean, Gandalf do fly on some bird in the books, so why shouldnt some of us being able to? I think it could be a great fun, and really something to strive for. But this should only be for the hardcore gamers/raiders, so not everyone would have their flying mount.

 

That was my top 3, and maybe you dont agree with them, well then you go ahead and make your own list ;)

Well, it's a good thread and far be it to counter some of your preferences but I will mention...

 

1, you would change the game from lord of the rings to generic fantasy game with world pvp, completely disregarding anything about the world and the story that tolkien wrote.

2, they are removing radiance

3, Gandalf didn't ride on a giant bird that was a mount. I think you might want to read a bit more brother.

Stil it's your opionion and you are welcome to it.

 

You can feel free to comment on mine...

 

1, change the art design of all avatars and all gear to something a bit less "fantastical".

2, A slightly more open world like Vanguard where I can go in any cave I see regardless of whether I'm on the quest.

3, More of a feeling of "lord of the rings" as opposed to me feeling that this game has a bit of a generic fantasy game feel at times.

Im not talking about pvp in Shire or Bree, but PVP in trollshaws, moria etc would not be lore breaking, and not make it a fantasy world..!? A human controlled ogre runnning around doing stuff (yes they would need stuff to do, like qs or something) in dangerous zones, would that really be so much off Tolkiens world?

Wow yall are Nuts :P

And NOT IN THE GAME. Im talking about on their Site/ the Log in Box. If theres a way around it then please Do tell. Otherwise the rest of you can go play Darkfail. you sould like the fanboys from over there anyways.

 

I still have NO idea what you dude are talking about....?

Why do you need the LOTRO site to play, for starters?

And the login box... never even check it. Fire up the client, enter PW, logging in. There are AD's? Playing for 2 years, this is news to me :)

DB

What a wierd topic.
I think he means the add in the launcher, u know the dwarf holding a big axe, and it says something like Lotro for only 9.99£.

Cant see its a problem, as long as theres no ingame adds they can put all they want in the launcher / on their website.

The instancing regulates itself because if it didn't the areas would be packed, and people would bump into each other all over the place.

When there's less people, there's less instancing.

If he doesn't want the instancing he basically wants a server with less people, and Funcom won't change the size of the zones for him or everyone else, that's left for AoC2...

So agree with the guy saying this is a retarded thread yes.

<modedit>

 

Cant rly see why its so retarded. I played AoC at launch and loved it all the way to lvl 35. The only part i rly hated was grouping, because it was so hard with the instancing. Took lige an hour to finally get into the same instance. And that killed my immersion of a open free world totally.
But that dosnt change the fact that i liked the game.

And its funny your writing "he basically wants a server with less people". Have you never played another mmo? It is possible to make 1 server with lots of people and still have fun.

But now someone tells me, that they have removed the instancing, and that make me wanna play again. But im not gonna pay 20$ to find out he was "adjusting" the truth. So excuse me for asking!

But seeing the mature crowd answering to this thread (sorry to those who answered my question, and not just flaming me), dont make me wanna go back to AoC at all. Ill just go back to lotro, where ppl actually are nice, and theres no such thing as a stupid question.!

 

Regarding getting the group in the same instance, that's something they've fixed. If you zone into a different instance than your group, you'll get a messagebox askiing if you want to switch to the same instance as your other team members. So that's at least not an issue any more.

But if instances and zones at its core is breaking the game for you, I would think that AoC will never be your favorite. That's just the way they decided to design it.

Guess your right.

Think it's a shame, would like to see an sandbox mmo with that kind of combat and graphics..

Ur problem is?

So they didnt remove it, but theres just no ppl playing it anymore?

Heard some1 in lotro talk about they removed the layer on layer world instance. If thats try, i might give it a try again.

So is it true?

Well no matter what people write in forums, its obivious that subscriper numbers are going up. Just look at all the recent post about lotro on this site and half the screenshots on the main page is from lotro. If thats not proof enough, look ingame. I had to wait around to get to kill a certain mob yesterday. Cant remember thé last time i did that :)

Just hope it last :)

LOL Machine you are almost the exact rank and renown lvl i am, im 23, RR12(almost 13). I play on Wasteland we have a 400 person guild. 70 were active tonight  we did that keep seige.

U havnt read the wotlk notes, have u? Or read about aoc. (if that will ever work in that game)..
