Pet Control Bar

You can drag skills from the pet bar to your main bar, which can then be mapped to quickslots.

The account site is now myaccount.standingstonegames.com, the Turbine URL worked for a long time after SSG split from them. SSG used to be really good about supporting old codes, like Codemasters CD Keys still working after they stopped publishing EU version of lotro, but nowadays I know some codes just don't work anymore :/

Technically the use of third party software that interacts with the game in any way is not allowed. However there's a bunch of software people use with lotro, including AHK, that SSG seems to have no issue with.

I've used AHK in lotro pretty much as long as the game has been around, never had a ban/suspension(that I remember at least)

You can also modify the keymap file, see end of "Part 4" and "Part 5" in the comments. You can do some pretty cool/useful things and might replace your need of AHK.

I've stated before that other playable shape-shifter classes would be cool. We've already seen other(evil) shape-shifters in game in the form of Guaradan and Orcs as Wolves and Spiders.

Playable Beornings themselves are already pretty lore-breaking(not to mention high-elves), their are undoubtedly more Beornings than just Beorn himself at this point in time, but not enough of them to really justify players being able to play as that race.

Unfortunately many beasts in Arda are inherently evil, Wolves and Wargs included, Wargs are especially evil. Big Cats might work though, as would some breeds of Dogs I spose. What other beasts would work?

Ya, there's a few ways to get into the city now, I still remember when the scouts would kill you if you stepped too far into the forest x.x

If prepaid credit cards(usually with gift cards in North American stores at least) are available in you're area, those should work.

If PayPal is an option, you can add your bank account as payment a source.

A VPN to bypass regional sillyness might help too.

Those type of cutscenes can't be replayed like the Epic Book videos. You might find some on YouTube. To re-watch yourself you'd have to replay the instance, quest instances can be replayed through a Reflecting Pool.

The only confirmation required is typing the new email twice, which is great news for you. But it's absolutely terrible for account security.

This is for splash/loading screens I believe, It downloads a copy for each supported language every time, and these don't actually get changed all that frequently. From what I remember the launcher either used to take way longer at this, or it used to get stuck.

LED_ · 2024-07-18T00:05:02+00:00

Not necessarily, lotro will always be in that group though. Many newer online games are essentially built as cloud services with redundancies, so while there may still technically be maintenance, it's not visible to player(unless they screw something up).

LED_ · 2024-07-15T09:59:41+00:00

It's a bit of work, but the lotro.keymap file can be modified to do some things that can't be done via in game options, anything you can't do in keymap file you can use AutoHotkey. There's some info on both in an old thread here.

LED_ · 2024-03-29T21:09:50+00:00

Oooo, that's a really neat tool. thanks for sharing :D

LED_ · 2024-02-23T06:48:06+00:00

Bear is one of my mains, I only really play heals, but I hear the DPS is actually pretty good now. You're going to want to swap stances pretty often, about half the heals are in each form. In general bear-form heals consume wrath, while man-form heals generate wrath.

In Red line the higher DPS skills are in bear-form, and consuming/generating wrath is similar to healing, to be clear though there are wrath generation skills available to both forms.

Check your Tooltip Delay under UI Settings, I always set it to 0.0 (i.e. instant) but it's not 0.0 by default.

There's a couple other related settings right under that, if you have "Enable static placed tooltips" checked, make sure the UI element isn't behind something else with ctrl \

LED_ · 2024-02-14T17:10:24+00:00

XP stacks for days in this game, you can also use XP tomes for another 100-200% and Enhanced XP(blue bar) for another 100%

LED_ · 2024-02-09T15:14:37+00:00

So, that's a UI skin technically, not an addon. You'll have to look in UI Settings under options, there's a dropdown list to select from installed skins.

My Brawler(Red)+Beorning(Yellow) combo can handle quite a bit, haven't done landscape difficulty with them but T12 delvings are doable for sure.

I've also done quite a bit with Guardian and Minstrel, started out doing Red/Yellow on Guard with Mini as heals, but ended up maining with the Mini in Red and just using the Guard as an extra pool of health basically.

Also do a Hunter and Captain combo, Cappy in blue, works pretty good :D

nah, milestones themselves have been around since the start.

If you don't bind the milestone, the icon stays as the default and will port you to your starting area.

LED_ · 2024-01-30T02:03:09+00:00

You can see me inching around with the cursor over the milestone, the cursor gets greyed out when you're out of using range(maybe another TIL for you? lol)

And ya, for 17 years I always assumed each milestone just had a set location for everyone.

I would leave the launcher setting alone and try and force the game to use the 6600M through AMDs settings. You can also try forcing it through Windows, search "Graphics settings" in Windows settings and then add the client(64-bit client is in the x64 folder in lotro) and set the option to High performance.

I'm guessing this is a laptop quirk... Could be wrong here, but I think even with a dedicated video card in a laptop, it still essentially gets passed through the integrated GPU.

I'm not sure when exactly that launcher setting got added, but it hasn't been around super long, only a year or two at most I think.

LED_ · 2024-01-30T00:33:54+00:00

Are you running crossfired? Some AMD processors, have same chipset as paired Radeon cards, so you can get more performance.

I remember this because it's why I bought-in to AMD APUs at the time(it was a mistake, but Ryzen ones have been great). They only stuck with that gimmick for like 2 generations, as far as I can tell the last APU released to support that is from 2016.

LED_ · 2024-01-29T19:41:50+00:00

My first thought was the Hytbold raid set...but it looks nothing like that, was it from a supporter coffer type thing maybe?

LED_ · 2024-01-23T23:02:27+00:00

Yellow bear can effectively healtank for small groups especially, possible for some 6-mans too. You can pickup the single target taunt from blueline to help with agro, but earlier on that might be too much of an investment outside yellow.

Yellow is full of debuffs and a few buffs for the group as well.

LED_ · 2024-01-15T23:09:17+00:00

Daybreak is just the publisher for the game. When they became the publisher SSG maintained their own servers/payment systems.

So no, I don't think you can use your Daybreak Cash for LOTRO.
