Lord of the rings online
It was little I could write about. Log, take reward; log Loremaster, do festival or just chat, log off.
I am trying to return to /World chat. Most time it is silent, nobody speaks about anything. In very rare occasions there are some jokes or refreshing talks. If Lotro lost /World chat, it would lose nothing.
Kinship is passive, possibly due to summer: everybody’s on vacations.
And developers prepared another surprise: yesterday, August 29, they heavily nerfed players. Results:
*Players are left with 10% of statuses they had;
*Monsters received heavy increase in their statuses;
*If monster is 6+ levels higher than player, he inflicts additional damage (much of it).
So, players are left with…nothing. My “legendary” weapon does entire 380 damage (fully upgraded on top-level toon). Level 70 Loremaster is left with some 300 power. Starter swords make entire 3-5 points of damage. And now calculation: normal almost end-level monster has some 120.000 health. Let us guess monster got nerfed to only 90.000 health. So, I need 300 attacks to kill monster – and that almost all attacks by monster will fail. Any fight, I am dead. ANY.
But headless fanboys ir fangirls were yelling how good life is without “bloated” things. Very first fights would mean 100% defeats and probably they will start seeing reality. Sometimes I wonder how stupid people can be, when they try to fight mathematic. When they take any figure and post is as fact, not fantasy. “I hit monster with 2,1 million hit!” – posts one about fact that never happened, because it’s impossible. Yet who cares? He could tell hit was 21 million or 210 trillion hp. Same “reality”.
I am really grumpy. All my toons that took years to build and equip became useless. They are inflicting so little damage that I cannot think about any fight. I was very lucky wityh my Loremaster: she did 1000 points damage to Festival’s “heat wave”. Entire 1000 points on un-armed enemy without any serious resistance. Now, imagine lvl.77 Orc who deals increased damage because he is higher than me. Would I be able to inflict even 100 points damage to him? Hardly.
My toons are becoming purely cosmetic ones. To sing, to chat, maybe to kill pre-Moria enemies (if I am very lucky). That’s all. Absolutely no fighting, because on Minstrel fighting is no longer an option. Now, my toon is like NPCs in Bree.
All thanks to incompetent developers whose life is dedicated to making bad decisions. To make life is players worse and worse and worse. Lotro needs no enemies, no haters when it has such developers.
I am left without any mmo right now.
Bloxd does not count, it’s a bunch of kids who are unable to focus on anything and mostly are evil by nature.
Online life is one big black hole, there is no light at the end of the tunnel.
