Thread: Wtb

Willing to buy different thread's lately all ive seen is QQ about this or why is this guy jumping me or I want to 1v1 or bla bla bla bla . Why cant we start discussion's about mabey setting up open field fight's or what we think lotro devs need to improve on or anything other then the nonsense that is being posted lately . Anyone else agree ?

WTB more open field raid vs raid fights.

eh, might aswell put this out there if were doing suggestions devs should fix/make.

Anyone else thought about haveing instance finder work for both sides? had an idea about instances that intertwine with monster play, like haveing a boss in special instances be replaced with an actual player monsterplayer for freeps and freeps for creeps, buffed with something similar to inspiration? would work similar to instance finder a player(or a small group of players) would go into a waiting room to be selected to replace a boss, and be buffed/debuffed depending on the level the instance is. the group would perposefully start that instance to fight a player boss, and could offer rewards ,depending on the monsterplayers rating, that are good in pvp area such as commendations ,pvp gear, or good amounts of pots and $$$.

example would be a 6 man lvl 75 group starts an monster player instace and fights groups of orcs and trolls and at the end (someone in a "monsterplayer instance finder" would be selected and placed as the boss at the end) fights a buffed luggy(as an example) he has +75% damage and a set amount of morale such as 120k or something. luggy would get rewards for each player he killed and if the group killed luggy they would all get commendations and a loot box with pvp items in them.

lvl of instance determines the rank of opponent u fight, lvl 50 r0-r2 , lvl 60 r3-r5, lvl 70 r6-r7. lvl 75 r8+ or just haveing all ranks allowed but buffed or debuffed depending on lvl or instance.

could be vice versa with freep/creep bosses. but would have a downside if you die, such as losing 1g or more rating than normally dieing to discourage people just farming theyre buddies inside of it.

any modifications or suggestions to the idea would be nice, just been thinking about it lately semi indepth

Instanced pvp would be nice, but there's no way to balance it with 1 vs. many. What happens if some nub freaver with no idea how to play becomes the boss? Still wouldn't be able to touch a good group. And what if creeps are matched up against MEGADoomsie? They have enough trouble killing her already :P. It'd have to be even numbers on both sides, scaled to some arbitrary rank/level, such as all creeps enter scaled to have battlefield promotion of r7 and all freeps are scaled to 75. That's what TOR does with warzones, everyone is scaled to 50, the people who are geared 50s are way stronger, but at least the new lvl 20 guy can support his team and not be a waste of space. Would be a nice change from the daily zerg fests/rez camps on one side.

Again though, I don't think the design of LOTRO allows for that. Class roles are too specific to balance a random group against a premade team with any hope of success. Even objective-based combat wouldn't allow 6 freavers to handle a freep group with a captain and mini. Though if creep skills were updated to be able to function in that kind of environment (such as in combat charge for reavers, or just some additional general creep utility) I think it'd be much better than the current state of our server's open world combat.

When I first saw this, I almost didn't read it because it was really long.

But after reading it, I say YES YES!

Agree with Womp, tired of looking at the same map ..reason I haven't been out much.
If creeps had at least a day, an hour or two to go elsewhere to fight freeps it'd make things so much more interesting.

Always wanted to fight off some creeps at Falathlorn
Saelwood

i agree with borken and iorynn's way we need a new material in the area of pvp, make things interesting mix things up a bit, same stuff can become extremely boring after a year or so.

I agree with the others. Just pointing one thing out since we don't have any new content though, if you get killed/zerged by a small group of freeps or creeps (say like 6 or less), try not to bring a raid to just roll them. Call a few friends if your outnumbered, try to make it an even fight and try once or twice. Personally it has been fights like these where ppl keep coming back with about even numbers/fights that I get the most enjoyment out of since usually both sides gets some kills.

I thank you all for your idea's and making this thread worth while hopefully we can keep it up (: very nice idea's

Would like to see captains be more solo oriented...Always seem to be grouped cuz they arnt very solo friendly... Buff wargs more but give all freeps the ability to buy a 60m tracking talisman that can be purchased with a 5 min cd upon using... I feel like the current setup in the moors is too group oriented because of the large amount of wargs out. All the freeps feel the need to group to counter the large amount of wargs. When freeps group or raid up, they will synergize much better with buffs etc and it makes it very rough on creeps. Creep dps doesnt scale to freep hps (heal per second) making the fights one-sided and boring. And to all of you who always group up with captains and non-warspeech minis and rks offhealing, you all are pathetic...that is all lol

I suggest checking out the PvP forums, there are some good discussions about the future. In between all the QQ of course.
