MERRY CHRISTMAS

MERRY…..

Oh forget it; we all know this argument!  Just for the record though… the holidays really did come first.

I say we just go drinking!

Whatever and where ever you celebrate this season be safe and happy!

All I Want For Christmas.

All I want for Christmas is an HoT

An HoT

An HoT

All I want for Chrismtas is an HoT

An HoT that actually does something!

More later.. maybe…

Man, I don’t even blog on my MySpace and now I have a blog on my My LotRo.

What’s with all the My Mysomethings lately anyway?

Okay, so, um….  a little bit about myself I guess.

I’m not quite right…. in the head…

I am the Co-Leader of Spirit Brewers of Meneldor along with my husband.

I wish that Turbine would give us additional Kinship Ranks so I could be officially known as a Co-Leader rather than just the Heir.  Heck, it’d be nice if the Heir to a Kin got the ability to promoted and demote officers at least.. oh.. and a spiffy title.

My Christmas Wish List… sorta..

Dear Turbine,

I don’t know why you hate my minstrel so, for I do so love thee but thou hast been cruel to me.

Please give me a Heal over Time that doesn’t need a Legendary Trait and a bunch of maxed out Legacies to make it worth using.  There are mobs in the game that are better healers than I!!   I love that you gave us Trait Sets but why oh why did you make them worthless as well?  In order to attain the only skill that is worth having (running 2 Tales at once) I would have to slot Traits that are pointless and completely destroy my character build.  Sorry, but a few extra hps/fate/will etc just are not with slotting Traits that would not do me as much good as the ones I currently use.

Thank you for all the fun you have given me.  I fell in love with this game because it was more casual that the previous MMos I had played and I finally felt like I wasn’t being left out of the Main Story Line because I didn’t want to Raid and Group constantly.

Shame on you for starting to move away from what it is that I love so much.  Book Quests are something that you really need to do to enjoy the game and they should be Fun and accessible to everyone.  But starting with Book 14 you seem to be moving further away from your promise of making things a little more solo/small group friendly and have begun making just 1 chapter of a Book too time consuming and frustrating.  Its okay to make things challenging but you have to keep in mind that Book quests should be for the Casual player.  I think 15.12 was an interesting idea… for an instance that I Chose to do, not for a Book Quest that is the main part of the game.  And 2.5.5, while also interesting, was also too time consuming and difficult for a Book Quest that should be accessible to more casual players.  Its fine to make voluntary instances difficult but it seems cruel to load down Book Quests with high difficulty instances.

Please do not forget your Casual Players.  They are the ones who love this game so and recommend it to others who are tired of the Raiding Rat Race in other MMos.

Please remove Hooks from Housing and let us do free form placement.  If you need to see how housing should be.. Go play SWG and EQ2.

Personally I also HATE the Auction House system.  If you don’t want Housing to be ghost towns then you should look into the Broker System that EQ2 uses.  It also makes for more competitive pricing!

We NEED more Inventory space!  Thank you for making most quest items go into the quest Journal and for giving us Keyrings.  Unfortunately it didn’t do much to help my inventory issues.  I have to carry Heal, Power and Cure Pots, Food, Instruments, Travel Rations, Hope Tokens, any cosmetic clothes I want to change into, a pie, my horse and various other items!  Make cosmetic clothes actually equip.  Make Mounts Equip.  Give Minstrels and Instrument Case!  Maybe give us Potion Bags!

Here’s a sweet idea for some quests!  Quests that give you 1 extra line in your bags!  This means no having to add anymore bags just another line!  Have a different quest for each bag!

Yes, that was a lot of complaining but that’s what these things are good for right? Venting?  Expressing one’s ideas?

Something….

No I’m not always negative.. Its just easier to complain than praise. hehe

Thank you Turbine for putting in the MyLotRo pages!  I’ve been hoping for them since the day I started playing!  I do suggest though that on Kinship sites you put the Roster in the Middle rather than on the left.  It needs to be bigger, more promemant and easier to read!

Keep up the great work!
