@Max1337Samuelsson You currently need to be a VIP member. You can play a creep at level 10. You can play out there as a freep at level 40, but I suggest you reach max level first, which is currently level 65.
PvMP gave me more of that LoTR feel than most of the PvE gave. Epic charges, esperate fights, taking keeps, it was awesome. But for some reason my account keeps gettin suspended and I got hacked a while back so itll be awhile till I get back...if I come abck at all. Screw f2P...
PvMP was awesome, its still decent i guess. But seems now we need Rad gear for evrything which is a turn off for me. thus i havent played LotRO in a while
I'm thinking of starting to play this game so how does pvmp works? If i want to play monster then i will have no use of my "good character" or do i have to play both of them?
ahhh.......what i reminisce....nowadays pvmp offers just a glimpse in the old good times...even with SOM Turbine couldn't fix that issue and renew our memories....Sigh.... Faladrel-lvl65L-m ...Landroval Server
When I first tried creep play on LOTRO I thought, "I'll try it a day, hate it, and quit." I got one of each type to rank 4 just for the fun of it. Moors pvmp was my favorite pvp. Played on Brandywine and Meneldor (sp?). Some of those Brandy 3+ raid on 3+ raids were amazing. Only reason I left was that it was too good XD Had to quit 100% or play 100% Great vid, here. -RuffRuff Warg, Ticklecakes weaver, HelperMonkey Reaver, Doubletap Blackarrow. etc, RIP.
@goldenballs99 Most servers are like that, since Moria PVP has declined, one can only hope that once people have done the Mirkwood endgame PVP will go back to what it used to be like back in the good old days, although it seems very unlikely, levels 51 to 60 ruined everything that was good about PVP, RIP SoA PVP.
Comming from a person who lives and breathes PvP, I would say WAR. Although in my 2&1/2 years playing Lotro I've tried WAR 3 seperate times(longest being 2 months) and I still come back to LOTRO everytime. The PvE in the game is wonderful, obviously its LotR setting so thats always awesome and if you've watched the video, the small "sandbox pvp" ala PvMP has a ton of potential to be everything other PvP MMOs are, its just PvMP is a pure sandbox and the players make or break it.
and what I mean by the players make or break it, right now there is little incentive to be in the zone as a free people, so basically people can sit around and camp and farm all day in the same area, or people can move around and fight at the various keeps and outposts on the map, as well as the different terrian on the massive map(prob biggest in game). there are small and fun objectives but Turbine has yet to add incentive to take them. so alot of the time its zerg vs zerg farming.
IMHO, I played pre-bk 12 and seriously, from a business stand-point, PvE wise LOTRO is great and attracts a lot of customers, but just maybe a couple new maps or expansion of the same one and some new pvP gear and powers for creeps and they could attract an area of customers who love PvP.....common Turbine....
Yup, LoTRO PvP (from Moria expansion onward) has become a complete and utter joke. Turbine would do better to shelve its PvP servers and stick to its even more fail PvE coding.
WTH happened to LoTRO? It was once fun and entertaining... now it's stuck in fail mode.
Ah, the good ole days where melee classes had just as much use as any other class. Where rushing a keep with obscene numbers didn't necessarily mean victory, and my guardian had the great role of leading the charge.
Thumbs up to the overall message, nice footage, and editing.
However I think this video effectively shows one major hindrance to fun PvP that plagues the 'moors--just look at how much of the combat portrayed is Players vs. NPCs.
The zone and PvMP in general need some serious work.
PvMP, in my opinion, was put in not to really be a PvP-centric place, but to test for exploits and general overpoweredness. NPCs don't complain when they're unrelentedly beat into the ground with no chance to fight back at all. Creeps do. Also, the Saul Zaentz company (dba Tolkien Enterprises) didn't really want PvP in the game.
Quite the freep zerg in that video. I do miss the times when the freeps were so much stronger that they actually were wiling to PvP. As for the video itself? 5 starz (if stars were still in the game) :P.
Probably the best PvMP video I've seen to date. Mostly because I recognize so many people in the video. I wonder if my poor warg is in there anywhere. :P
Could someone please tell me the current view count? It seems bugged for me, earlier it was at 343, but since then I've recieved multiple comments and ratings and the thing hasn't budged...its just annoying
Watching this brings back the best memories. I'm so sad so much has changed - but the hope that it can be like this again someday...yes, yes it can. *tears up like a little noob*
Epic 'Moors video here Jebus. Fantastically well done. It really brings out the excitement felt during all those massive multi-raid battles we had. Doesn't happen very often now, but maybe thing'll get better again later on. I think my fav part of your video was where all the horses are riding over a small hill (at about the 1:08 mark) and one horse decides to stand out by doing a large jump right in front of your camera...heh...prima donna show-off. : )
Thank you for the comment, and yes that guy jumping on the horse made it hard for me to decide if I was going to put it in the movie, but no one knew I was filming this movie, and I didn't plan anything with anyone, so I just left it in there as some proof that all of this footage is raw :]
