Thread: Ever wondered......

What's going on behind WTAB when freeps have TA and the creep raid at WTA? Well I stood on top of the hill above WTAB for 15 minutes and I saw a lot....

First, we have to get rid of these freeps:


Hey, there's Gii


Just gotta get the bridge here:


GOT IT!

Oh, there's Gii again:


and again:


I've been spotted, uh oh:


Get those HoTs up before you leave the safety of the bridge dude:

Ohhh, a solo warg sees me. This could get interesting:


Then I look to my left. ####:


Maybe I'm okay:


Oh ya, I'm safe:

You have earned a new title, RenamedGii, Bridgetaker. XD

GII AGAIN! And I'm dead:

LotRO Timeline!


You Should make a webcomic with this stuff

I know it's not very pretty. I got a new PC at the beginning of March that runs LoTRO all super high awesome; but I just can't do it. Too many distractions; can't see creeps I'm like, Oh! A Bird. Oh! A bush!. That's nice.

So I guess if you DID ever wonder. You'll see a lot of Gii. I could have posted 20 more screenies of scraglers coming from rez, crossing bridge, and /yawn. And some people might see you, most won't. But if someone does, they'll probably find friends to come get ya!

Fellybaby - you DO know thats one of my favourite scratching posts, right?

I sit there a while sometimes, just watching what freeps do.

Sometimes I eat them

However, I'm not on much at the moment - Beta-ing for the most awesomest awesomesauce remake ever. There are not enough hours in the day!

I'm not going away of course, this is just my FOTM

Love & Hugs

Great post Keep up the stories!!

From the looks of the NPC corpses near the edge of the bridge and in particular that small tree you weren't there for an insanely long amount of time..

You're right. Looking at the properties on my 25 screenshots it seems I started at 6:40 and ended at 6:55.


And that's central standard time there boss so I'll send them to you if you like so you can 'verify' i was there for 15 min. *rolls eyes*

Ever wondered what happens with creeps are attacking TR and you /walk and patrol TA ford for no apparent reason? You might find friends!








I was by myself patrolling for 5 minutes when Hadmund joined. We did some laps, then he did fireworks. We did a a lot of /salutes. It was very official. Although, If we had TA, it might have made more sense.....

Yes I saw you up there and watched you watch all the creeps run by for about 7-8 minutes. At one point I was standing right behind you then I went to the bridge and came out of stealth for a time. I wasn't actually going to pounce you since you just seemed to be watching, but a young warg also spotted you and called you out so.. you know.. free infamy and all.. lol

Glad to see you out in the Moors, I've always enjoyed biting your ankles.

Ever wondered what Luc would do in this situation?



Fireworks! yay:



OMG luc is right, WARG(S)!



AND spider! Oh My! (panic! Actually he long-burrowed, maybe he had to pee)

Oh, now we're picking up stuff (honestly, I tried to ninja it, was too slow lol)



I was tracked like 5 screenies ago near the fireworks. Not sure if this was him; but Aklionu gives me a fight! YAY!





Look, I could have killed the reaver and the warg. I actually tried to coax them into a 2v1 but they weren't there to fight. They were there to quest. But yes, I could have panicked and started throwing bombs on them, then the spider would have come and rescued them and I'd be dead. I would have forced 3 ppl to PvP when they were not interested in PvP (or chess for that matter).

But I bought time, was friendly, and in the end, found a good fight. WIN!

I honestly think it's a class play style difference. Champs and minstrels seem to panic a lot; LMs have to have a thought process because we're pet-friendly and wizardly. *ponders*

lol.. that's what I said too :P

but fun stories .. keep 'em coming!

As a LM, I must be very eccentric and you do not understand the ways of wizards. Nuthric and Jaiyne, you guys are very young and unwise....



*ponders*

Ever wondered what the 11th form of orc-stealth is?



That's Biohazzard btw, LOL. silly AFKer

That's only true when I've strayed from everyone and am seeing double...

and i've been hanging out with Jack

When I saw the HH screenshot I remembered an old music.

A certain Champion. :P Saw him up there last night.

Attack the reaver (SS/Hamstring to lead off), hope to drop him or chase him off before he gets the hobbit kill. Sometimes get jumped by wargs around and die in the process. PvMP not watch others PvE.



Fireworks! yay:




No idea where you guys all get these fireworks....guess I spend too much time in the moors...


OMG luc is right, WARG(S)!




Attack the warg, hope there aren't others. Again stun if possible (StA NOT class horn-don't want to waste cooldowns on a warg who can hips/sprint), burst as necessary to stop him from killing the hobbit. And count it as a victory if the hobbit lives and the warg runs. Watch very carefully for "you have been tracked" messages.


AND spider! Oh My! (panic! Actually he long-burrowed, maybe he had to pee)

Attack the bug, knowing full well that I've been called out after the reaver/warg and burn EVERYTHING to get the kill or stay alive before more show up. IIRC that's a R6-7 bug so the fight could be for real if I'm not careful. Time to buckle down and have a tight attack sequence and mouse turn until I've got a nice hamstring/rend applied and power consumption is under control. From that distance I'm going to HAVE to lead with a bow shot and toggle my sword to my sprint legacied sword, hit sprint and toggle back...pop second wind in there to get that rolling and hope he burrow's early...OR doesn't burrow...if he outlasts my sprint and manages to burrow after...things could get interesting with the old heal in borrow, pop up and poo tactic...gonna have to burst hard and not be afraid to use my class horn. A R9+ bug and I have more tricks and things I'd do differently, but I hate to blow those if they're not absolutely critical....I think I have a reasonable chance to come out of this one alive, assuming the place isn't swarming yet.

Escape to the south either way because it's more likely they'll come from the north. From there I have a list of trademarked secrets about how best to get away from a zerg pouring into S HH...

Nothing about my actions are panic based...you know why?

I've died nealy 10,000 times out there. There's nothing to fear. The ABSOLUTE WORST thing that can happen to me is that my green bar goes grey and I press a button and end up in GV.

Then I have to undertake the laborous task of pressing Fervour again, and my mount button to ride out of GV,,,,yeah...scary.

Alas, bugs are not "he", but "she." I expected a well-read lore-master like yourself to have learned these subtleties by now.

And to clarify, I do not pee in my burrow... I observe lore-masters with "get out of pvp free" passes to see if they are going to jump innocent greenies in a high traffic, high-radius hobbit aggro area.

Jumping a lore-master when the brittleleaf hobbit zerg patrol is about to be unleashed is asking for trouble. I've learned to wait for a more opportune moment to ambush from my burrow and not give you too easy of a kill. But you ran off to take more notes on orc forestry practices, so I didn't bother.


LOL WIN:

PPS: Someday, Luc... someday you will pay for all those times you got me as a greenie back in 2009. I still need a lot of rank and commendations before I can take you on solo though - still buying the new skills not even started on audacity yet. :S darn bubbles

Wait, who's jumping who? =p

Sorry, lady-spider girl dude.... I honestly didn't think/know if/when/not you saw me. Who tracked me? Aklionu? /shrug

Fun stuff. When did you pop up?

The Moors is NOT A SPECTATOR SPORT!!!!...Except when it it....

Funny Stuff.
