difference is that a high level player can oneshot anything below their level and the opposite happens to lower level players. I still dont see this as a deterrent to the idea. I just think it will be a great accessibility option. Lotro has been so good for a collective of casual players who may not have the time or money to sink years into this game. I hope they dont stumble now
Yea. That's why I'd wish a downscaling option so much.

Theres a difficulty slider in the game now so can we have the option to have a 'casual' or 'peaceful' mode to play lotro? There's way too many areas that are too difficult and it seems like half the game is designed around pro players these days
Its up to you to activate or not landscape dificulty.

Read my question again. It's not about having it disabled for the INTENDED difficulty, it's a suggestion for a 'casual mode'/'first time' mode for people who struggle.

Well, in my opinion the game / leveling phase is already VERY easy.

But that is YOUR opinion. Think about it for a second, your own experience may differ than many other people
@Nenaras and @Grotmaggot if you continue the haha emoji on me I am afraid I will have to add you to my block list, you have been warned once already

Please do not use an official thread to threaten players. ?

This *is* the other place.
Both of you - please do not use an official thread to discuss each other. The purpose of this thread is to generate questions not for discussion of who said what earlier and whether they were right or wrong.

Stream is done eitherway, so doesn't make much of a difference anymore.

Ty Sev and Cord for hosting and getting into more complex questions then the parrot for example. There is so much to be discussed cause people are passionate about it and that is good. The rest of Ish's questions and some others are really important cause the goal is to have fun with eachother and not hop from grind to grind and I think that is thing that should be said more. In 150 we get a large LI grind, essence grind and we need to look up virtues again and there aren't any promises that this will be fun, so I would like to address it again and again if needed. Ty for doing it and till next time.

Are there plans on a virtue rework, if yes what is the vision on this?
Is there a timeline on class reworks?
Regarding LI's, are there plans to decrease the grind or make the grind fun?
Why is Bind to Character still a large thing while Bind to Account for items is so much more appealing?
Hi, Any chance they are going to fix the human hair styles ?????? Some of those head bands look like coiled snakes and are so thick and heavy and overpower the hairstyle. Plus it wouldn't hurt to have some actual new styles, that aren't all dreadlocks and braids. Please, please, please...with sugar on it. :)

Then can you please stop using the HAHA emoji on me? I dont think I deserve it
Chill. The content is rly easy. So easy, that if you play LM, you can send your pet and stay afk while it kills for you. If you or your friend got some trouble, you probably enter some grp content zones. Like Tarlang`s Crown, pulled a RT, or some dificul warband. Instance are kinda OK too, solove version of them. I rly have no idea where even a new casual player may strugle in this game. Try play with friends ? Get better gear etc ? Or ask for help

Something to keep in mind though is that some people do not have the same sensory/physical capabilities when playing as others, so easy for some people may be very, very difficult for others. And some may not have friends who can or will play along with them, or they prefer going solo.

you need to get out of this raiders mentality of "if they're not as good as me, it's THEIR FAULT". Sure, YOU might have the best gear you can get, you might even have alts and kin mates able to gear you up. Dismissing my concern by stating something as simply unprovable as "the game is too easy" isn't constructive.

And you should stop attacking people that want more serious in gaming. And yes. The game landscape content is pretty easy and casual friendly as of now. There is an ignorance on serious contents until much recently.

I understand you want it to be even easier, but please atleast respect other people that want different things from you :)

Believes he is a Wiki
May I remind you that

a. Lore Masters had been tedious to play for a long time (after the Wastes) because they had weak pets and at best moderate staple attacks, with the better ones being gated behind an unbearable cooldown timer (up to literally three minutes), and
b. pets do no longer auto attack, due to some botting raids that ruined the game since East Rohan?

This class is not easy. It is only overpowered. By now. It may well happen that the lore masters get nerfed. Again. They had done it before, after the Wastes.

The worst thing about it was that Mordor is tightly packed with mobs, so there is no safe distance from which you might send your pet in. You would try to circumvent the more difficult ones (with difficult I don't mean Elites, I mean Signatures), but then you ran the risk that you were running straight into the next one. Or, while a fight was drawing on (it was so slow that I cannot even describe it), other mobs nearby would wander more closely, notice your presence and start to attack. And Lore Masters don't wear heavy armour. I still wonder how mine made it through.

As others have already said, if you are in favour of a higher difficulty, there is that NPC in the starter areas that you can ask to increase it. So why do you complain about the game being too easy?


Greetings, Polymachos
