Summary: Cari is joined by the one the only Bill this week. We talk about more Hobbit Trips to Isenguard, PVMP, and of course Ent Plays. Listen now: What We Did in Game Bill Trying to sort out story quest / epic battle Done Helm’s Dike and Deeping Wall Deeping Wall was confusing as everything - especially the culvert side quest Cari Leveling on Ali on Brandywine Level 93 Running around Adelburg. I’m amazed at what a good job they did with the oldness of the city. News Patch 12.2 Is live https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthread.php?540239-Update-12-2-Release-Notes-Official Addressing “Macroing” issues Certain classes were able to cause some skills to ignore their cooldowns, causing a situation where those skills could be used repeatedly and rapidly on their target. This has been resolved. Class Trait Quickslots Update We now save/restore the state of your quickslots automatically when you change class trait configuration slots. Lore-master and Captain trait reset Lore-masters and Captains have undergone trait changes causing their trait points to be reset with this patch. after many drills, the forces of the Enemy now use their basic attacks at a faster pace.

Thank you Whiteberry :) http://flamingbard.wordpress.com/2012/03/22/lotro-hobnanigans-and-ode-to-the-past/ Balancing 12.2 does have some balance changes to it, especially to monsters. They are well aware that it’s going to be a need for the next few updates. They recognize things are a bit too easy in most places and will continue to adjust as needed. Are some zones inherently more laggy Yes, the more graphically intense an area, the more foliage, etc. and the higher your graphic settings, the more lag there will be. Where do you get feedback to bring back to the dev team Everywhere. Forums, comments in the HtoI events and ones like it, twitter, facebook, comments on gaming articles, fansites, kinship sites, even youtube comments. Turbine contributing prizing for events like Winterstock A lot of people aren’t aware, but if you send Sapience a PM on the forums and let him know your event and when it is, if he can get any prizing for you he will. Update 13 when will we hear more Sooner than you probably think. He’s actually working on stuff right now. There are area revamps planned (yes, plural). Another 20 questions call for questions later this week. Will we ever be able to mail more than one item (attachment) at a time in-game Significant technical issues to doing so, but never say never. Mail is a complicated system that requires lots of engineers. As a rule, the more simple and easy a change seems, the reality is often the opposite. Are there any plugins officially supported by Turbine They do not QA plugins, they just provide the API and framework for skinning. Where did the HD music come from Helm’s Deep music was done in-house, and the soundtrack is available online https://soundcloud.com/turbinegames/...e-rings-online Are there any Lotro babies Not aware of any but he’s met some of the married couples and knows of many people who met through the game. He thinks Merric and Goldenstar were together before LotRO so their baby doesn’t count. He doesn’t know of anyone who met, married and had a kid via LotRO.
