Lord of the rings online
Xantipe is really happy with Rohan. Doing every non-repeatable quest, declining only harder Warbands. First, I finish all local landscape quests, then it turns out epic quest guides me next. No need to rush.
In Cliving, I faced my favourite 2 quests. First: killed Rohirrim, it is up to me to investigate and decide. And yes, it was hard for me. Girl who had access, yet swears she is not guilty. Two soldiers, each could kill poor Rohirrim out of hate towards Thane. I inclined to sentence girl, just because she was most suspicious. After reading Wiki – chose one who accepted his fate heroic. Second quest – local girl and her fiance. They want to get married, yet her father won’t allow. It was up to me to decide: tell lies (“yeah, father, your daughter ran with that really rich guy from Edoras”) or tell truth. I chose to aid girl and lie. Really wish there were more of such…thinking…quests, not “kill 10 rats”, “deliver DHL”, “escort lame NPC”. Really wish these quests had their own meaning. Example: if you aid girl, you meet her in some farm, she aids you with unique stuff – alas, her father knew and now he is grumpy, half of Cliving is unhappy; if you tell truth, girl never marries her fiance, lives in Cliving, yet father gives you riches, all Cliving likes you.
I am reading Nona’s quest text. Turns out really impressive. Normal “plz defend my town” texts are not to be read. If Orc needs to be killed – I kill the orc, do not bother about poetry.
Mounted combat: still hard to accustom, dps are low. Yet it could be managedand I will manage it.
Kinship ran Pelagir, there were many tourists here, including my Huntress. We received gold, at the cost of lost barricades, almost a wipe and lost challenge with Corsair Minstrel. My dps were non-existent.
Rumours are SSG will add +20 levels on legendary weapons. Everyone is upset. Players keep asking for less grind, now grind is just insane…instead, they receive more grind. Grind for Anfalas crystals, grind for thousand Anfalas scrolls, then grind for 2 times nore Anfalas crystals and maybe 2000 scrolls. Seregost used to be effective, but it isn’t. Now there is Pelagir and some of Dol Amroth, boring and slow. Dear developers, please start listening!
Overall, I do enjoy my adventures in Rohan. While some Reeves are careless – they ride into battle alone – most are wise, not under influence of Grima. Citizens are loyal, almost everyone wishes to defend Rohan. Thanks to that, my slayer deeds are doing just perfect.
And so, weekend has ended, really nice one in Lotro.
