World

• Fixed various terrain seams, floaty objects, and pathing problems in Forochel, Angmar, Sarnur, and the North Downs.
• Apparently the Angmarims got the wrong idea about catching swordfish. They have therefore decided to eschew their weapons in favor of fishing poles and pickaxes while attempting to ice-fish in Forochel's Ice Bay area.
• Changed Forochel's defeat dread to coincide with similar high level zones.
• Fixed the hunter campfire in the North Downs near Rhunenlad to properly appear on the minimap.
• Goblin-town: Made a door you couldn't get to not useable.
• In Bree-town, Dob Sandheaver and Seward Proudfoot have been moved slightly so their ring mapnotes won't hide behind the one for the milestone.
• The female Enforcer in Ost Forod now displays she is with the Free People.
• The Icereave Mines are now a bit more solo-friendly; we removed a few patrollers, broke up some of the pulls, and spread them out a bit more.
• Fixed a stuck location in the Thrang encounter in the Rift.
• Fixed various pathing issues in Angmar
• Rona in Aughire will now speak to you differently if you have completed Tasgall's quest arc.
• There are no longer two Ilmas in Forochel, and Mirja has returned.
• Decreased the amount of time you need to stand near a Campfire to dispel Forochel cold effects.
• Doubled the duration of the "Warding Warmth" buff players receive from steam vents in Forochel.

Town Services

• Rudbessian in Tinnudir is now a provisioner.

Auction House

• You can now drag items from your inventory into the "Item Name" field of the "Auctions" tab on the Auction UI to populate it with the name of that item.
• We've added a barter auction category for finding auctionable barter items.

Graphics/Animation/FX/Art

• DX10 Distant Landscape Lighting has been disabled. It will return in a future update.
• The guard in Nellie Boskin's house in Trestlebridge is no longer giving himself an appendectomy.
• Fixed incorrect icon issues for "Elven Prospector's Pack," "Fine Woodcutter's Pack," and "Finely Stitched Backpack."
• Fixed a bug that was causing crafted staff weapons to be wielded incorrectly in combat. Staff combat animations when wielding only a staff should appear correctly now.
• Melee weapons will now properly hide when a character uses throwing axes.
• Horses and Ponies now have walking animations.
• The hobbit near a campfire in Waymeet no longer slides around.
• Book 9, Chapter 5 - The Rangers will use the correct combination of weapons and animations.

• The Goblin Cauldrons in the Misty Mountains will no longer use the "door" usage action symbol.
• Several Annúminas Dúnedain will no longer be impaling themselves on their shields.
• Fixed a sledder in Forochel who wouldn't stay on his sled.
• Barter NPCs in Irolen’s Camp now have blue portrait borders.
• Hunter's Strong Traps will now have visual effect on monsters that they trap.
• The Captain skill “To Arms” now has more appropriate FX
• Corrected visual effects when Lore-masters with Staff and Sword cast any Sign of Power.
• Lore-master skills “Light of the Rising Dawn” and “Cracked Earth” - Fixed a rare error that left a book stuck in the Lore-master's hand when the skill failed to execute completely.
• The icon for the “Key to the Gates of Carn Dum” will now look like a key.
• Galiana Squib will no longer turn to face you when you speak to her.

Jetzt bekomme ich - Angst?



Verbluten im Forum ist doof... bitte nicht. Das geht in "AoC" besser...

Bei nem Kopfschuss kommt eigentlich kein Blut.

AoC ist aber spielerisch Schrott. Fast so schlimm wie EvE

Hab ja auch mal ne Weile HdRO gespielt. War aber zu WOWalike.
Wirklich toll ist das musizieren. Das hat echt Spass gemacht. Erst recht wenn man mit 3 Leuten musiziert hat.
War damals auch sehr enttäuscht als ich festgestellt habe dass ich trotzdem im Kampf die Laute nutzen muss anstatt meines Instruments.
Das ham se ja nun scheinbar gefixt.

Tatsächlich gibt es ja inzwischen einige Spieler, die das Musiksystem in "LotRO" wahrlich perfektioniert haben... Ich habe da schon tolle Darbietungen miterleben dürfen und die allgemeinen, bekannten Videoplattformen zeigen einige richtig tolle Demo-Videos, wie manche Leute tatsächlich ihre Musik via Tastatur live spielen... Einerseits denke ich, wenn man zu viel Freizeit hat... Andererseits finde ich es klasse, wenn ein MMO nebenher noch Content bietet, wo man sich einfach aus Spaß an der Freud' austoben kann.

Ging mir ähnlich... wobei ich damals zu Release die Barden-Klasse dann schnell für mich verworfen habe und mich mehr auf die Schurken seither spezialisiert habe. Allerdings habe ich eine Bardin dann nochmal angetestet wesentlich später und die Klasse haben sie wahrlich gut gefixt und überarbeitet, dass es mir Spaß gemacht hat. Wenigstens zieht man jetzt nicht mehr einzig mit der Laute dem Gegner "eine über die Rübe"...

sag das mal nem Lotro menschen ins gesicht
ich glaub nachdem der luft geholt hat
erzählt der dir ein paar takte dazu!!!

das ist kein flame

Zitat von sensenhase

Yes, Baby! Finally!

*mithüpf*

Hmm, vielleicht sollte ich LotRO nochmal eine Chance einräumen... damals zum Release hats mir net so wirklich zugesagt - das Rollenspiel war zwar da, aber ich kannte mich mit der Lore net so gut aus wie mit der aus Warcraft und meine Freunde blieben alle bei WoW.... also war ich schnell weg - vor allem da die Quests überhaupt net alleine zu machen waren (als Barde ab nem bestimmten Level) und ich aber net immer ne Gruppe suchen konnte/kann.

Mal gucken, nachdem ich AoC derzeit pausiert hab und ich es mir überlegt hab und eigentlich net nochmal zu WoW zurück will könnt ich ja ein anderes RP-Spiel gut gebrauchen *g*

Zitat von Aresetyr

vor allem da die Quests überhaupt net alleine zu machen waren (als Barde ab nem bestimmten Level) und ich aber net immer ne Gruppe suchen konnte/kann.

Viele Quests sollen schon mit den vorigen Büchern / Updates ziemlich "abgeschwächt" worden sein, um das Solospiel zu erleichtern.

YUUUHUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ich freu mich schon sowas von auf den neuen Contant-Patch Buch 14 ^^...... das wird der HAMMA!
Endlich wieder ne neue Gegend zum rumlaufen und metzeln, dazu kommt noch das die Drops der Solo- , Gruppen- und Ini Quests verbessert werden!!!!!

Ich freu mich schon, aber das Add-On wird noch viel viel viel geiler!!!!

Neue Chars. und dazu kommt noch, dass man endlich wieder mit seinem Main-Char. lvln. kann, nämlich bis lvl.60!!!!

Endlich kann ich dann meinen "Silverius" vom Server "Majar" noch besser weiter entwickeln, da es nach dem Spalten Set so gut wie garnichts interessantes mehr für ihn gab!!!

.....Und Waffen die sich weiterentwickeln können, is das nicht geil?!?!?! Dann hörts endlich damit auf, das jeder auf dem High-Lvl. die gleiche Waffe besitzt

Ich glaub das reicht jetzt erstma von mir, wer bock hat mich im Game anzuschreiben, wie gesagt bin der "Silverius" vom Server "Majar" und gehöre zu einer der bekanntesten Sippe auf diesem Server, nämlich "Die Standhaften" ...... schaut vorbei, wir sind echt eine lustige und nette Truppe, unser Motto lautet: "ALLES KANN, NIX MUSS!!!

Mfg euer
