Final Thoughts
Be sure to look for information on The Fellowship Walk in the coming weeks!
Thanks for watching!
Sad I missed this show, but on the other hand, I *was* enjoying shredded pork fajitas while yall were recording.
That sounds really good!
YUMMY!
I’ve not gone to Wildermore yet, but I will take one of the Pash clan there I think!
Cool! I really like the zone and definitely recommend it.
This podcast was a blast. Thanks again for having me, and looking forward to more!
Yeah we are all really glad you came on this show and joined the team!
Ok – I’m going to have to agree with Myst on a point here with regards to Wildermore warbands. Guys… grow a pair! =)
I think the WBs should have larger paths, with the possibility of running into them randomly more often. Pen them up into a smaller path where nobody has solo quests? Now really, would that be how an elite mob would operate? Constantly doing donuts in the middle of nowhere? I would think they would be testing and harassing the NPC guards outside of towns.
The zone itself really is not that hard for a basically geared character. I think having to keep your head on a swivel would add a much needed element of danger and excitement.
Great update review!
While I can’t speak for my co-hosts, I didn’t mean that they need to pen the warbands in the corner. I actually meant I really just want things spread out a little more to give warbands room to roam over the entire zone. In Rohan they rarely run into areas you are questing but they roam over the zone. I wish they continued this in Wildermore or put the really hard ones in an instance.
Regarding the discussion of Character Transfers early in this episode:
The return of World Character Transfers were announced on August 8th, in this forum thread:
“https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthread.php?519982-Character-Transfers-are-Back!”
Yes, the page on the Turbine Support page is out of date, but I can confirm that character transfers are in effect. Amberflower and I recently transferred from Gladden to Landroval.
We have heard lots of reports but we were wanting an official statement from Turbine. Thanks for the link!
Oops, sorry! Thought you guys knew!
It is odd that they announced it under the “Account Support Questions” section. I noticed that there are also posts in that forum for “Character Undeletes are available again!” and “Kinship Renames are Available again!”. Given that the Character Transfer FAQ hasn’t been updated, but transfers are available, it makes one wonder if either: A, Turbine isn’t making a big deal out of this on purpose, or B, Turbine has some communication issues.
Anyway, yes, the transfer worked. Huzzah!
Cool! Thanks for the info!
