I think the Beorning class is less a Turbine creation than a WB creation, to place a Hobbit Movie character into the game in an attempt to draw movie goers into the game.
I also thought this was driven by the WB. However, Turbine is responsible for executing the idea so I think it still falls squarely on them execute this the right way.
I was really looking forward to listening to this. Unfortunately the sound volume is so low I can’t hear it through my headphones. Its even quieter than mmorerter. I’ve tried several different headphones. Its extremely frustrating.
Hi Rabbitses
Sorry to hear you can’t hear the podcast. I will look into boosting the volume and repost if I can.
Does anyone else have this audio issue?

Hey thanks for the response! I work around light machinery, and thats when I listen to my podcasts, and I’m able to hear all the other podcasts I listen to just fine. I’ll be sure to listen to this show in a quieter place because I’m sure it’s awesome, but if you could make it louder without ruining it for other people that would be great!
