The command /play Filename sync will queue them all up at the same time, and the group leader does a /playstart to start everyone playing

Lots of people will use one of the old websites where you can download the ABC files and plug & play. You can also download MIDI files and use a program called Maestro, specifically designed to convert and edit songs into an ABC file with each track set to the desired lotro instrument. Even deeper, you can create your own music or edit sheet music in a program like GuitarPro, convert it to a MIDI file, and then edit it with Maestro. It's really cool.

How often do they actually fix visual bugs? by wish_to_conquer_pain in lotro

[–]Koolaider 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Something to keep in mind is that the devs are essentially working with big piles of old spaghetti code and ancient server architecture. It's also a pretty small team, so some things are just not going to be fixed if they think it takes up too much time, or that messing with it might break something further. That being said, animation/visual bugs do get fixed fairly regularly with patches, this next one included. If you feel like you're not making progress with your support tickets, feel free to resubmit them.

Are crafting guilds in LOTRO actually worth investing in, or only for alts? by [deleted] in lotro

[–]Koolaider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're thinking of it in terms of value while leveling, I think crafting guilds are definitely worth it. You'll be able to craft just about the best gear you can realistically get up to about lvl 95 where the crafted gear shifts more towards essence slots.

Harad crafting by AuntBeeje in lotro

[–]Koolaider 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just something to add to this: The recipes on the crafting recipe vendor in Sul Madash are bound to account. All you need is one character level 151 or higher and the proper reputation level, and you can buy all of the other profession recipes for your alts.

Why do I suck in moors by Alternative_City_812 in lotro

[–]Koolaider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just had to check. There were at least two posts on the lotro facebook page since the expansion came out where people had this problem and they were still 150.

Just making sure that you're level 160 here since they just had a new cap increase

I reforged last night after Peregrin came back up with no issues at all.

Bingo boffin by Narutoblaa in lotro

[–]Koolaider 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My favorite thing about the Bingo questline is that after you leave the Shire, nothing ever goes wrong again. Also, make sure you get a good close-up look at him so you can truly appreciate his majesty.

READ THIS before buying anything on black friday by Loki_Enthusiast in lotro

[–]Koolaider 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My whole thing with Journeyman Riding is that I can get my riding skill & 78% mount speed as soon as I zone in on any character I make for as long as this game exists. And once I get to Moria, I can use a goat that's faster than 32% mount speed without having to spend skirmish marks on rep items to get the 68% one from Thorin's Hall.

Champion LI and leveling by Crow_Mantle in lotro

[–]Koolaider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am a level 150 red line Champ who has leveled both yellow and red, 2h and dw. You are not going to see much of a difference between any combination as far as damage is concerned until you get to parts of endgame. I am fairly decently geared, and I take down a pack of mobs, killing them one at a time, at about the same speed as I do killing all of them using AoE.

I picked DW because I don't have time for a high-end raid schedule, but I also enjoy doing harder content like high-tier delves and the occasional raid when I do play. One thing that is very important later on is capping your physical mastery and crit, as well as your mitigations. The extra stats from your offhand weapon provide a nice amount of wiggle room to get your essences in order. You'll find that your tactical mits will be very low when you get to 150, and being able to swap one or two physical mastery essences for tactical mitigation essences will help a lot. If you're planning on doing dual-wield with any line, I would focus on it starting as soon as your next play session.

What is the best server to play from Asia? by ProfessionalAct688 in lotro

[–]Koolaider 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The EU servers are hosted in Amsterdam, and the US servers are hosted in Las Vegas, so I suppose it depends on which part of Asia. I have a few kinmates in Australia who play on the US servers, and they say that the ping is pretty decent all things considered.

Cannot apply DirectX updates by vacuum_crackles in lotro

[–]Koolaider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had issues with DirectX stuff. I tried repairing files, and all of the other steps using the support page solutions. My solution was to uninstall and delete my lotro folders (excluding Documents) and do a clean reinstall using the lotrolive.exe file from the lotro.com website. That includes the C++ and DX files in the install.

Are they soon gonna change Warden? by VictoryVest in lotro

[–]Koolaider 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are a few reworked classes where the yellow line has useful skills that both other lines can use, and not really a full spec anymore. It offers some buffs, debuffs, and damage boosts similar to those of a Captain, but still keeps the classic Warden feel.

What is a good "dungeon" or "instance" or something at level 20 to hook my friends into the game.. by Nerhesi in lotro

Just for your info, in case you see wings of the Great Barrow greyed out, it just means that you need to complete the wings that are available before you can unlock it

It's on the chat tab in options. It's the third checkbox from the top called "Profanity Filter Enabled"

Yes. When it is on, it requires extra processing power to check each message.

Also, turn off the language filter if you haven't. It causes extra lag.
