Unsung Hero of the Beer Arena...

[Phunfun]

Thank you Lagonk for your help this Anniversary festival. Completing the Beer Brawl would have been extremely difficult this year without your help. You might not ever see this post but I would hope that others might and in-turn maybe thank you in-game when they can.

I don't know Lagnok and I don't know how did he/she help you but it nice to see kind players still helping there (this year I haven't done festival).

Now that you mention that arena I always liked how often people collaborate on that quest so everyone could finish it. There is almost always somebody, sometimes even 2 people, who stays for others to kick them to finish quest. I also like to stay because I remember when I had bad laptop and trying to finish that deed on my first character how I was happy that someone who I never met before stayed there for me to finish.

When ever I do the beer fight in Thorins. I always stick around and hang out on the middle table in the arena until there is about a minute left and let people seal club me until myself and everyone else who is sticking around (jumping up and down, wanting to say "hit me" have run out)

Also to the arse bags who run around in there with pets out (cosmetic) I will target you over and over again for messing up targeting and being a general jackass. Emotes aren't allowed, why are cosmetic pets allowed? (serious business and all) If you are going for the beer trophy with a cosmetic pet out-You have been warned. Otherwise I leave them alone and try not to knock them out of bounds.

P.S. I know "seal clubbing" is not an okay term, but due to the nature of the event, Yeah I'm going to use it!

Off-topic, but I really would like to know: What does that term mean? Or what did you mean by it? It is the first time I hear/read it.

Beer fight is a great example of collaboration (usually).

I struggled at the beginning before learning keybindings and often dual boxed to have an easy target. But 9 times out of 10, someone will stay with you to make sure you succeed.

Cosmetic pets aren't targetable so they shouldn't be a problem when using a hotkey to target another player. Non-cosmetic pets ARE targetable, and if there is one nearby, I quite often end up targeting those pets instead of the quest NPC (or a fireworks spot). Which is rather frustrating.

That is a very, shall we say, fraught topic. Suggest you use a web search because the LOTRO forums are not an appropriate place to get into a discussion about that. Shame on the person before you for even bringing it up.

Over sensitive much!
How many bears, boars, aurochs, wolves, Wildlife, women, men etc... have you killed in game. Don't act all high and mighty.

It's a gaming term now a days, but based on a very despicable thing. Times change, terms evolve into other things.

Based on the event where you run around clubbing each other.

Are you offended by the Shrew stomping event as well? you know playing "Whack a mole"

Or how about whacking some kids around in Rohan while playing a game?

I've been fine doing the beer event slowly over the days for the deed completions, but let me say, getting hit by 2 or 3 people at the same time and getting launched into space away from the arena is so frustrating. It's happened to me like 5 times in a row today...

If you go into the arena without any of the quests, can people still club you? I don't want to frustrate somebody by walking into the arena for a little while to try to help them if they wouldn't be able to target me.

Yes, you can club anyone who's inside the arena.

Lagonk usually keeps his(her?) character afk'ed in the arena so that someone who is alone can still do the event as often there's not many on Crickhollow and it'd otherwise be empty of "competitors" to bonk.
