Currently i am writing a pen and paper story within middle earth and it is AWESOME to have this game! It really helps to actually visit all the places. Characters, Inspiration of how things look or even some quests i can implement. Lotro really deserves more attention! It's absolutely beautiful and the best adaptation of middle earth. The more regions and depth there is to explore the better! Thank you for your video! Really enjoyed it. You have my sub!
Omg, Lotro solved the Mythic Plus system o o No timer, ability to change the stones with a vendor, ability to do things solo or in groups... Welldone!!!
I completely agree with the perfect timing. Great points you made there Brightlife! However, I don't think pricing is a complete win this time. They priced it the same as the previous mini expansion and being starter areas, I would have wanted it to be cheaper something like 14.99 39.99 and 79.99.
As a returning player you really helped me with figuring out what I actually needed to play the game. I've made a lot of mistakes with other MMOs but Lotro is by far my favorite. Thanks for taking the time to respond to my questions. Much love to you man!
no lie im here because i booted up LOTRO after almost a year away because Rings of Power was such a disappointment haha this was a great overview!! thanks!!
They really really need to update the UI. Like, the graphics themselves actually look solid and actually charming, but that UI was trash even back when it came out. I remember playing LOTRO day 1 and thinking that.
I like that companies announce content as shortly before release, instead of long before. It will be interesting to return core characters. Although, I am a big fan of rise of isengard and Rohan story, that follows new characters.
We would all love it if they did some giveaways and supported the LotRO streamers, it's a win for everyone. Unfortunately, marketing has always been a weak point for SSG. Every time I click a link I get bombarded with WOW ads, but I only know about this expansion because I got an email about it the other day?... That's not good enough for building up the hype - I am glad there are channels like Brightlife to help get the word out!
i am so happy about this expansion cuz as a solo player with the gear that they are doing really made my day i am so happy i returned to the game plus i became a VIP
I hope it will have the effect SSG is aiming for. I will get the expansion because I am really excited for the new book story and areas. I think Lotro has the best writers of our time when it comes to expand and invent new middle earth lore, so the book story is probably gonna be the highlight of it!
$100 for Ultimate, cosmetics etc. SSG are out of their minds with their Ultimate prices. If Ultimates were 40/50 bucks I'd buy em all as I play through for the first time. But at 100 bucks, I'm not going to buy any and the middle option isn't interesting enough. So I'll just buy the basics. On the one hand there's a lot of great content for free, on the other hand they rip off their VIP players pretty badly in my opinion. If I'm paying a sub, which VIP is, why is my wardrobe locked to 20 slots and you want more money to unlock more slots. And lose the obnoxious/cheap/mobile game-like LOTRO store store button that is the biggest element on my hotbar. It just seems...amateur? SSG need to treat VIP players/sub payers like other MMOs. Pay a sub, get the game, full game, and just pay for new expansions.
Good thoughts! I think 100 bucks is a little steep for sure, but I also get the heart behind it - supporting the crew. BUT I am 100% with you on the Wardrobe thing. That's really, really frustrating. Thanks for the thoughts Ryan!!
@@BrightlifeMMOs Oh sure, I get it, I just think they might have a better shot of getting more if they priced it better. I'd happily give them 250 bucks for 5 ultimates over time, but now I'm likely jsut gonna go with the cheapest options.
They would totally get more money if Ultimates where like 50-60 bucks, the game is great but these people don't understad two things about marketing pricing. You just go to a cinema, an you will see that the price for getting from a medium pop-corn to a large pop-corn is less than the upgrade from small to medium, that way you incentivize people to buy the biggest one. These prices also scare away new players
@@TBPetitP Yeah exactly. I'm trying to ignore the hardcore push from SSG to spend spend spend since I already paid 3 months VIP but it's getting a little gross (the LOTRO Store on hotbar, constant messages in game about LOTRO points, mithril coins etc.)
great video, I played Lotro religiously 15 - 10 years ago then burned it out ... you are correct starting areas were the best, I always enjoyed the first 35 levels more than anything afterward... I am more of a solo player and the introduction of skirmishes and the ability to hire NPC was something I loved ... I remember back then really hoping this NPC hire will be made possible in an open world as well so I could hire my own mercenaries to do dungeons rather than be forced to group with other people, weird ha ... me wanting to play MMO with NPC rather than people ... I still love seeing other people around and talking to them, I love trading and economy ... I just prefer doing questing on my own! I loved being a solo player in an MMO world but sadly I did not find Lotro Solo player friendly ... Moria particularly felt designed for groups, I kept coming across quests that needed 6 or 12 people ... that kind of killed my optimism and wish to play ... so yeah sadly the Moria with all these group quests as result was the end of me playing Lotro ...
They remade the Moria quests a while ago to make them much more accessible for solo players. I'd recommend trying it out again and taking your characters from that dark pit and out into the Lothlorien light.
I just left Moria a few days ago, currently in Enedwaith(loveeeee it). And I solo'd like 80% of moria with no issues. The only quests I needed help with were the Grand Stair quests, which are inside a dungeon.
I think raid gear should drop for raiders, but that way of thinking kinda died after RoI. Maybe if they had all red line gear drop in solo instances, and blue & yellow gear drop in group oriented instances would be more ideal.
I believe Orion said somewhere that the delving armor won't have set bonuses so it's only going to similar to the t3 raid gear in terms of stats; the T3 raid sets will still be ultimately better due to the set bonuses. If anything, this will maybe make it easier to get characters geared for raids, since gear progression has been absolutely terrible this lvl cap.
@@richardwicker8456 we don't need to be overwhelmed with +1 million stat bullshit gear to grind. I think it would be better if they had set armor that gave you a noticeable not over the top advantage. Such as a Cappy's rallying cry cool down form back in the day.
Not too sure - that's an interesting thought! I think that since the producers of LOTRO only have the rights to the books, I doubt that they'll be able to utilize Amazon's content.
Is this going to bring 4k support? I thought I read somewhere that it will. Tbh I cant get into the game because when I lower my resolution to actually be able to play it the colors just seem washed out and whatnot, it looks fantastic at 4k, its just really hard to play that way.
Can't expect them to create a new mini expansion for free. VIP: roughly 120 - 180 bucks per year.... Yes I can because that is (or at least was) one of the perks of VIP. 10% makes it 18 bucks...so yeah...it doesn't sound like much, but SSG has made it painfully obvious that they don't give a rats ass about VIP and 10% is not a perk...it is a smoke and mirror. So can't expect them to creat a new mini expansion for free? Absolutely I can.
I'm excited to try lotro for the 1st time. Also, as the biggest Tolkien fan you're ever likely to meet, I LOVE RoP. It's damn close to perfect imo. Haters gone hate though
Be sure to use the current coupon l, it gives away most of the content for free except the most recent expansions (and most of those are very cheap now).
will already existing, higher level characters be able to try the new instance and the two new zones? thx! ✨ also, i LOVE the channel, keep up the amazing work!!
I bought the original game. After taking time off a few times I've watched this grow over the years. Would I buy this? Yes. Even at a 50 dollar price point I would get this easily. Making room just for the new character / content experience.
Did they finaly up the game engine or is still plays like shite on a new PCs. Because I remember when I played like 3 years ago the run like garbage on any setting and it was just disasterous for me to play :(
The Delving System is tied to the Mission System. Missions are small Instances where Solo or Duo (Two) Players can do said Content. This is for Level 140 (Max Level) only. Eventually they want to add the Delving System to other things such as Library & School (2 commonly played Instances) but there is no ETA on this.
No News as of Sept 23rd 2022. If you only want to play LOTRO, it isn't that demanding for PC Specs, so you likely could get a Cheaper Office PC/Prebuilt and a decent GPU (GPU Pricing is far better than it was) and not break the bank.
Thanks for the replay mate! So how much do you reckon that could set me back? Obviously I don’t just want the bare minimum specs I want it to actually run well
@@mattyboi8338 That would depend on what you are aiming for: - What you are willing to spend? - Are you willing to buy the Parts & Build it all yourself? - Do you want something that is Pre-Built, ready to go out of the box and upgradable later? - Mostly want to play LOTRO or do you want to play other Games too? - Recording and Streaming. Do you have interest or feel like you might want to get into it? - Do you already have a Monitor/TV? If no, what are you willing to spend & what Size + Resolution are you wanting? - Keyboard & Mouse? And so on. My usual line of questions when someone asks me about a computer and they have an interest in getting one lol
I see a problem always. if I spend time, a long time trying to complete something, and then die, just to lose all that time. I am fine with that in a solo game. By my MMP time. I hate it. The get the mythic if you don't die, is a problem.
Poor information regarding WOW keystones. If I complete a level 15 keystone then after the weekly reset I will be given a level 15 keystone. Nobody has to start a fresh 1 to 15 every week. You are rewarded with where you left off with the week before.
huh??? levels 1-30 are the best levels in the game! Why? Cos they are non linear! Newbies have so many zones to choose from! Nowadays leveling is so fast that with one character you will miss too much stuff so you will have to create alts ( and that's kinda a good thing). What game needs is a zone lvl30-35, an alternative to Evendim.
there is still way too much static fight grind some people might get off on revolving door fight club othere like different aspects like crafting but y do crafting if its rarely a factor in game play, think finding weed for frodo the evil is most is BAKED into the quest not the crafting! you dont evenget a new heal recipie, little building, or puzzles like decyphering a language to learn and decode. its boring and static
It's not a Quest Pack for the Before the Shadow, it's a Mini-Expansion. Before the Shadow will be the largest amount of Playable Content Area they've ever added to LOTRO. - Covers Level 1 to 32 with a New Starting Intro. - New Starting Area. - 2 Regions covering the Before the Shadow Content. - New Missions. - Delving System for Max Level Characters (Level 140 atm). - 1 New Skirmish. - 1 New Instance. This will be an Update after Update 34: Before the Shadow goes Live.
Expecting Blizzard to take a cue from another game to actually improve theirs? lol I wouldn't pay attention to the ROP haters because just like Star Wars, the "true fans" were upset because of two things: Women getting prominent roles and People of Colour getting prominent roles. The crying about MUH LORES!! Is just a vehicle for their racism and misogyny. And you can tell me I'm wrong and mock me all you want, it won't change the fact that it's true.
hmm, that seems a little presumptuous to say anyone who doesn't like Rings of Power is a "racist or misogynist." I haven't watched yet, so we'll see. But I know I didn't care for The Hobbit trilogy, which was a mostly male cast. Although... maybe I don't like Dwarves :p
I am actively in favor of having women and people of color in the show - I think the casting choices are great. I'm also not enjoying the show and don't like what they're doing with the lore. I promise you plenty of people like me exist.
You ought to look into SSG's customer service and why many accounts that have been lost or blocked aren't being restored despite users providing information, and despite total lack of MFA or other modern security for the game. There are people with over a decade of purchases, lapsed players that want to come back and SSG is doing nothing for them. It's a betrayal and a sham and possibly a coverup of a security breach.
@@BrightlifeMMOs Not true at all. All expacs through Helm's Deep are now free, but Mordor, Minas Morgul and War of 3 Peaks runs you about $80. Gundabad must be purchased for LP (2995) or real money ($40 USD basic version). Before the Shadow is $20 USD pre-order for the basic version. Last time I checked, $140 is not = free.
funny how you are so excited about a game, i just quit...because SSG destroyed my main class: Minstrel. The game goes in the wrong direction since a while, the new zones are mostly just copy/paste and the endgame feels more like chores or work, than actually a fun providing game. After 12 years adapting the stupid changes on Minstrels, my time has come to leave and play other games. I really can´t get why you are so excited by a cheap money grab. The quests are boring, missions also and the dailies are almost an insult, imho. They want to make us using 3-4 skills only...pretty much a game for dumb ppl clicking random keys and feel awesome, on top of that: This huge lag issues! The returning players will leave before the mini expansion even hits, lol

Thanks for the feedback man!
Also bit off the topic
slight correction,
With WoW's M+ system, the only time you ever start with a lvl 1 key is when you didn't play the week prior.

They want to make us using 3-4 skills only...pretty much a game for dumb ppl clicking random keys and feel awesome, on top of that: This huge lag issues! The returning players will leave before the mini expansion even hits, lol
its 2023 how about dam well making a new game
not gonna bother
ffs
aslong that they dont remake the game, I dont think this game has a future, feels and looks too old
are they uopdating the graphics at all?
Rings of power hype 🤣🤣🤣 nice joke
