LotRO PVP: A day in the life of a reaver

[locktock9]

last time i was playing this we were all like WOW level 60! never been there before! hehe now you can go up to 75

[miffification]

u forgot the part in a reaver's life where he gets home, kissed his wife, said hello to his 3 kids and sits on a sofa to watch tv. then when he gets a really nice roasted chicken, reads stories to his kids until they fall asleep and then go to his bedroom to make love to his wife.

[locktock9]

@miffification ewwww!

[mojotron2]

Damn, Nirvana kicked ass.

[PWERPICKLE]

:( Those were the days when EC had no wall :(

[R0CkkLOosteer112324]

good song

[prowelfare]

reavs and wargs take no skill to play, they have 1 skill which they spam click.

[Ymgarl]

@prowelfare As opposed to every other class where you just spam click every button as soon as they come up?

[prowelfare]

@Ymgarl the difference is, the cooldown on urs isnt relevant,

[Ymgarl]

@prowelfare Hmmm? The cooldown on none of the skills is relevant, just hit them as soon as they appear.

[prowelfare]

@Ymgarl i MEANT reavers cd on that skill is so small it is irelevant, kinda of like how unfair rks/wargs are.

[powermikertje]

@prowelfare lots of abilities mate but yeah you CAN spamclick and get some kills

[Atarien6]

playing Reaver = alot of free infamy due to being OP. I'm not afraid to admit it, playing a reaver is easy.

[RedMoonAkatsuki12]

can every1 pvp? not spar like group vs group pvp?

[Ymgarl]

@RedMoonAkatsuki12 Anyone who is level 10 or higher can.

[kmfknc]

what level do you have to be to get into a battle ground

[Ymgarl]

@kmfknc There are no BGs. At level 40 you may enter the ettenmoors.

[LotroArkGuardian783]

@kmfknc This is LotRO not WoW Battle Grounds= Ettenmoors

[Ymgarl]

Heh, this video seems pretty bad now that I look back at it, compared to Play Creeps.

[pok282]

Why was a wall built in elf camp :|

[Ymgarl]

@pok282 Who knows? I think it was to make it less easy to rush.

[LegoBear2]

@Ymgarl the wall makes it look awesome

it makes it easier for ba's and hunters to kill :)

[LegoBear2]

REAVERS ARE BEAST!!!!!!!

[theoryaction]

good pvp song

[clonetrooper661]

i hate reavers thry suck

[Ymgarl]

@clonetrooper661 thrnks for your feedback.

[LegoBear2]

@clonetrooper661 reavers are the best 

[bluefox164]

i used to play this but went back to WoW 3 weeks later lol

[Ymgarl]

@bluefox164 I used to play WoW, I left 4 days later.

[jiupitsu]

@Ymgarl Haha owned by Ym :D

[skylersmarr]

Im Seeing some nice wind effects any idea how to enable those?

[Ymgarl]

@skylersmarr I may be wrong, but I think those effects were removed

[Kisukefan123]

how are u an ork

[GretschGod]

@Kisukefan123 - Its monster play. Its the PvP part of the game. You can start monster play when you get a character to level 10.

[Eadlir]

Oh mercy me, old Elf camp ;_; nostalgic!!

[RSComedyGuys]

How do you get a reaver?

[Pooperscooper1112]

I remember the days of a 6 man warg pack we used to run...good times...then the lag got unbearable and my comp couldn't take it

[CarverMG]

Really? Wow would be a bunch of little kids, and cheesy characters, and whining...

[Atarien6]

only plus to WOW is triple xp leveling and amazing pvp. Otherwise lotro is better

[Ymgarl]

Sorry... but WHAT? Cutting the length of a game by two thirds makes it good? (The only good thing I can see from that is that you have to spend less time being bored out of your brain). And the PvP is certainly not "Amazing". If you wanted the game to end fast, play a singleplayer, if you wanted pvp, play a shooter, or darkfall.

[xXMercifulFallXx]

@Ymgarl yeah, in my experience playing wow, the pvp has too many cheap and op classes.

[Smackdaddyish]

@xXMercifulFallXx agreed, ive been doin some research for a well known busy mmorpg that has a detailed balanced pvp system. im starting to get afraid that im shootin for the starts. the only other one i knew of was swg pre-cu but that game is long gone, if anyone has any suggestion please send me a message

[Andurhil]

Lol, with WoW you actually get what you pay for.

[Ymgarl]

I'm not following. You get what you pay for with other games.

[benjack4321]

good song to go with it

[Saromin1]

people of middle-earth have got 'a lot' of time during a day, thair day lasts 4 mins 56 secs!!! :P

[Ymgarl]

Well, with the odd system near Tol it can seem like that, sometimes when you crossed the zone line it would go really dark like night, then leaving again would make it bright.

[twit101]

oh i hated that, i could never tell time of day lol

[AceTwoMax]

Darn I make to many mistakes when I type lol

[sjoerd1818]

Too bad freeps will be able to do conjuctions on charging reavers after the upcoming update and BA's Flaming arrow dot can be removed, big nerfs for the Creeps.

the freeps already beat down full raids of us!

I will continue playing creep side, For Angmar!

[Arc3001]

The fact that conjunction starters will break through immunity buffs is actually an advantage for the creep side: Stalkers can trigger conjunctions even on targets protected by stun immunity then. True, a burglar can theoretically also trigger a conjunction on a charging reaver, but a burglar's conjunction starters have a range of only 2.5 meters, and an animation... pretty difficult to hit that on a reaver with +100% movement speed. Besides, most servers have far more stalkers than reavers.

[tinyskinnocels23]

i think its fair that the dots are becoming removable....ba's are OP atm...just one dot hits for 120+ every 2 seconds for 20 seconds and the dot raises each rank... basically 3-4 dots and ur dead...the dots can stack wothout limit, thats enough u dont need it to be iremovable

[benjack4321]

that was the only problem at first the dots were realy usefull to kill the enemy slowly but they wud die but now the update has came out if ur on ur own and without a healer if u come across a RK ur gona get pwnd wat ever rank unless real high WL or DF but im talking rank 12 as they now hit 3000 lighting damage on hit but with a short CD unfair or wat.

[Arc3001]

In group or raid battles, Runekeepers are not much of a problem, given that they have only light armor and no defensive panic buttons. The problem you refer to exists only in 1on1, for which lotro is neither designed nor balanced, given that all monster classes have very specialized roles. Besides, a high-ranked Reaver or Stalker with good protection against critical hits has a good chance to beat a RK in 1on1, while high-ranked Warleaders and Defilers normally draw.

[benjack4321]

the freeps always loose i dont no wat u mean by they can beat a whole raid of creeps down u must be playing a rubbish server for a creep m8.

[jasonkrkr]

your right man, we`re kickin freep asses every day on our server...

[booglegoog]

reavers are overkill sometimes :x and good music choice imo... :0

[Ymgarl]

Seemed appropriate at the time, maybe wouldn't have picked it (the music that is) if I remade it.

[Neilso2000]

I'm downloading the trial right now as we speak so i hope its gonna be good

[FunkMasterLogan]

i might switch from WoW to this

[Ymgarl]

It's certainly worth a try, if you want I'll give you a buddy code so you can try it

[FunkMasterLogan]

ok i was planning on doing the free trial tomarro

[zeik14]

Hey man is a buddy code like the free trial? Cuz ive got it now 10 day trail whats different from a buddy code?

[Ymgarl]

The buddy code allows you to digital download the game cheaper.

[BodyBuilderSteve555]

man this game is the funnest game ever, and the players are 50x nicer than in WoW. more rp if u like it.. truely worth it

[Jestepher]

Reavers are a total bitch to hit in melee lol. That speed buff they have is crazy.They are the one class I find a major pain to drop with my Guardian.

[Slew63]

Nirvana ftw!

[Kachezgiggles]

They certainly nuked your ass here didn't they :/ -Kachez-

[brillvalue]

Yep! A life of a reaver for you, lying with your face in the mud all the time. But reavers are fun espicially with good amounts of heals and rez's if you die. great vid btw

[IgnizReaver]

Ahhh yes the life of a reaver ;) ... Gotta love em. Yet another nice vid, cept for the music! ;)

[Ymgarl]

BAH - the music kicks ass

[hawwy1987]

Nah the music sucks. im a rocker and i say its over rated XD

[TempFix]

Yeah, I would have to agree. Nirvana is overrated because they were popular when Kurt Cobain died so their "legend" lives on. Not much of a legend though...

[awesomedude444444]

yeh..what song is this..i heard it beofre..i forgot though.

[dignitas01]

Ymgarl, you rule! Good times for all, Lare.

[erlenis]

Be sure u attak them from beheind them so they can't parry btw, do it always when elf use the racial parry skill

[erlenis]

lol why do the US player don't like pvmp so much. on Eldar server EU we got 2 rank 8 creep and 2 rank 8 freep. many rank 7. many rank 6. not sure to the rest of the rank

[Ymgarl]

Sounds like they like it ALOT. I dunno about freeps but on Laurelin we have a sum total of 1 rank 7 creep (I think)

[awesomedude444444]

oh yeah,nevada..or something like tht is the band.=)um,friend request me..i play lotro..i lv playing creeps..so..um..request me ok

[zottsguy]

lol nirvana, tard.........

[Ymgarl]

Was that directed at me? Because it was increadibly witty, I must say. Congratulations on your steel tongue.

[Kandyman69]

If you lol at nirvana, you should be ashamed.

[rochet75]

what server do u play on? i have a lvl 7 burglar btw.

[Ymgarl]

This is Laurelin server. I don't think a level 7 burglar would be much good in the 'moors. Try getting to 47 ;)

[dessertfoxx]

Rank 5s FTW. (Smuk, Blackarrow Rank 5 -Arkenstone-)

[Ymgarl]

Aye- almost rank 6 now though (Yarr!) Probably be another 6 months at least before I get my rank 7 though :/ will be good to see 100% completed finally though ;)

[dessertfoxx]

you got a nice gamecard, expecially since ur recording it. /jelous

[Ymgarl]

I'm on lowest quality here ;), really not as good as it seems, in fact, just got a brand new one, after this was shot, I get 60fps while filming now :P

[dessertfoxx]

niceness. You using fraps? I tried recording w/ demo fraps and its all crappy and stops after 30seconds and gives crazy lag.

[Ymgarl]

Aye - using fraps. Problem is it's about 1gb per min. Kind of a space problem, so I have to make the movies then clear it out

[Zeifear]

Try game cam, it works like a charm. The only bad thing is the watermark in the corner.

[awesomedude444444]

yeh tht.....the guy said it +_+

[clanmovies]

lotro rulez, in the time i play (lol now i dont have a gamecard) on my trail i have kill in 2 heures 40 freeps hehehe ^^ (with my blackarrow
