I'm taking it one step further, I've toggled off the quest helper feature so I really have to read every quest and figure out which direction to go when leaving town and what to look for to get to the quest destination. No quest markers in my playthrough. I've chosen to do that because I remember questing with only the quest text to go on was the best times I had in vanilla WoW. When I didn't know all the quests yet, it really felt like I was adventuring. So that's what I want this time around again, and I think LOTRO is pretty much my best chance at having that experience atm. It's taking a lot longer to complete quest because of all the roaming around BUT I run into so many things I didn't expect to see because of it, ADVENTURE!

[@deployablelover]

That is a really cool idea! Takes a lot of patience but I can imagine the immersion is brilliant! Thanks for sharing!

Lol you will not last

[@weltraumvogel2]

​@@deployableloverThat's how it was back in 2007

[@weltraumvogel2]

You might want to scale up the landscape to at least fearless too, if you're into a bit of a challenge while exploring

[@arcanefeline]

I find navigating LOTRO really confusing. Sometimes the Main Quest takes me all over the map, and I can't figure out how to get from Angmar to North Downs, then to Rivendel and back again. There are fast travel points, of course, but it's not always clear how they are connected (even the map does not help), and most of the locations are locked behind VIP status.

[@Domaister420]

The Stable Locations/Horse Travel are not locked behind the VIP Status, only fasttravel is. Getting send all over different locations is also not a lotro only thing and does not really stand out beside other valid critics. Its just due to the nature of the Story and fillerquests🤷🏻‍♂️

[@arcanefeline]

@@Domaister420 I've played a ton of other MMOs over almost two decades, and LOTRO's travel is the most confusing, by far. I like the game, otherwise, but this one aspect makes me want to quit, honestly. Maybe you can advise on how to use the travel system in this game?

[@glennnorris5208]

There are always going to be bigger cities or main locations that serve as connections to smaller towns. Also, places like Bree are usually connected to almost all stables so if you are, for instance, trying to puzzle how to get to Evendim from the Trollshaws, then always fast travel to Bree first so that more options open up.

[@pez6905]

Started lotro with these new servers, love the game for the lore, the gameplay is kinda clunky and unfulfilling, the ui and map are horrendous. I will continue to play to finish the story, so likely have to switch to normal servers to experience the story. Gameplay and mmo wise its pretty bad. Going to treat it like a solo RPG.

[@deployablelover]

I think this is a fair and accurate take! Well said!

[@warrenraaff]

Great video, looking forward to more LOTRO vids. Legendary server is my first entrance into the game and I have to unlearn what WoW and ESO have taught me. Starting with enjoying the journey

[@deployablelover]

@@warrenraaff that’s so awesome dude! Welcome! Hope you have a blast! Which legendary server are you on? ☺️

[@warrenraaff]

@@deployablelover I'm in South Africa, so Mordor it is. :) Began with a champion but now I want something like Captain or hunter. So many classes

[@brandondanforth8342]

Out of curiosity, is there a setting you toggled to have no fog in the Barrow Downs like that? I ask because, for whatever reason the fog in this game, and seemingly *just* the fog halves my framerate... That said, its been a few years since I last played so maybe the changed the area..?

[@deployablelover]

Hey friend! All my settings are on max. Bar one or two. I have a video on my channel which covers the graphical settings. Might be worth checking out ☺️

[@anthonyweston5588]

It might because im still a low level, but the main thing that i think will be an issue for me is the gear. I personally like really cool, fantastical gear with different shapes and effects. Thats why i stuck to ff14 for so long, the gear just looks so awesome. To me what ive seen in lotro, you cant really tell the difference between a level 5 character and a level 100 character because all the gear looks kind of boring. Maybe its the age or the engine of the game? Can anyone confirm or deny this? I know its about the story but a driving factor for me is kicking butt and looking badass doing it.

[@cwjustcw1261]

So as a completely new player. As in just started so level 7 on a luve server... is it worth it to play on live or should I go legendary even though it too has already been up for a while. Oh and is their any option to increase the UI scale for the backpacks anyone

[@etmbymm9179]

If this is NOT a RUSH MMO leveling and more on the Journey, then it's AWESOME! MMO nowadays instead of relaxing/stress reliever, it's totally the opposite & feels like a duty/grind . Perfect for people with JOBS & Family =)

[@lightningunlimited]

returning player here would you say it's too late to get into the legendary server now that it has been going a while?

[@deployablelover]

Hey! Not at all, there are plenty of people still making alternative characters and starting over ☺️

[@rorounikenra]

it's sad the perception on WoW nowadays is like that. When I started playing WoW in TBC , I don't think the mindset of rushing towards endgame was there. I think that started post WotLK.

[@guntoucher9984]

I just started playing, about 9 hours so far and level 23. Super fun. I've made a few risky runs into areas I easily die in.. just to get a view of Rivendell etc.

[@Kress_SK]

you gotta love the journey, do it at your own pace. And, you can earn lotro coins by doing deeds all around ME, it's a massive goal to seek and very satisfying

[@deployablelover]

Yes! This is how I play! Great work and thanks for the comment!

[@Ricolaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

If they did a graphic overhaul the game would blow up!

[@marydanielle7183]

Just got back into LoTRO after a year. Only got to level 34 last time I played and decided to start over. This time I’m doing all deeds in an area before continuing into the next zone. I’m not worried about completing all quests mostly just the deeds. Reading everything and just chilling.

[@deployablelover]

@@marydanielle7183 that is a great way to play! Just relax, take your own pace and enjoy it!

[@cavetroll666]

Thanks for the video and channel appreciate it Lotro is amazing right now 🙃

[@deployablelover]

That’s kind of you. Thank you for checking it out! ☺️

[@adanos4]

I hate ffxiv because the progression is tied to the story. Sorry you cannot progress to this zone or the merchants are not available to you because you haven't finished the main quest of the expansion. In lotro you can show a middle finger to the main quest and still enjoy the game.

[@FlaShbacksRevenge]

if im gonna dump over 100 hours in this game and its fun, im gonna pay for convenience. Just my take on the matter

[@KOBEASTXIV]

I love it so much! I hope more people would play

[@deployablelover]

As do I! Thank you for sharing! ☺️

[@mace7077]

Another mistake, asking and acting accordingly to questions like "what is the best class in the game" "what is the best spec of (said class)" "what should I spec in", the game is a sandbox. Outside of endgame top tier raids you can spec however the hell you want, play what you want how you want, don't ask subjective questions in an attempt to min/max in lotro, it's not wow thank goodness.

[@calebmichael5747]

Loving this influx of new players and content on this special game. Gladden has been chock full of new players and I can’t wait to jump into one of the legendary servers here soon to be a part of all the hustle and bustle again. This game rules and I’m stoked to see this renaissance of sorts. Great videos man, got a sub from me!

[@deployablelover]

@@calebmichael5747 hey that’s so awesome to hear! Loving all the response and memories shared by players on these videos! Honestly this game has such a strange way of feeling like home! Great to have you!

Thank you that is truly good advice. Especially enjoying the journey.

[@isaachill1107]

I liked the video but I didn't learn as much as I hoped to. You spent a lot in the beginning talking about enjoying the story. What I was hoping for was information on the crafting system, group content: (what it is how to start it) features that are unique to lotro or different from other mmos.

[@deployablelover]

@@isaachill1107 whilst I appreciate your feedback, if those specific topics were what you were looking for then there are plenty of dedicated videos to just that all over KZbin. Could have saved yourself a bit of time ☺️

[@isaachill1107]

@@deployablelover I know just letting you know because your title does say New player guide and it felt a tad lacking for a new player to learn and more like how a new player can enjoy the game.

[@deployablelover]

@@isaachill1107 I feel like enjoyment needs to come first. If you don’t understand how to enjoy something then why would you have any aspirations to learn about it. I take your point but have to disagree in favour of the topics I was aiming to portray in the video.

[@tom.m]

Regarding LotRO points, I'd add: Take recommendations from veteran players with a grain of salt. Don't rush to purchase upgrades based on world chat. Many long time vets seem to have forgotten how much they paid for some of their favorite upgrades, or forgotten how long it took to save for them, or maybe just have a slightly skewed perspective in general. As a new player it's very easy to feel like you need to buy points so you can get the carry-alls, mount speed, vault space, enduring tools, etc etc. People will tell you these things are essential and act like they're cheap. In reality you need very little as a new player. (At least with VIP. I can't speak to the fully F2P experience.) Save the points until you have a good feel for what purchases you really want to prioritize.

[@deployablelover]

@@tom.m brilliant insight! Thank you for contributing this! ☺️

[@temjiu9915]

This is exciting. Just found this, Already a few weeks late! No big deal. LoTRO became my escape for years during it's late vanilla/early Moria days, and I honestly think that Moria was one of the best expansions for any game I've ever played, loved it so much. Just the whole LotR world unfolding for me was so great, and you didn't feel like you had to be a "character" in the story. You were the invisible hero behind the scenes, part of the rest of the world that helped the heroe's along, and you really felt like you could just enjoy the world as it was during the path of the Fellowship. Best world building ever.

This is a very interesting video I've subscribed to your channel because of it. I haven't played this game for years, in 2008 I purchased lifetime membership so I get 500 points each month this video has inspired me to install it again and get playing thank you

[@adanos4]

I have been playing games for years an newer hit the max level. I love doing every deed in the game. This is a paradox since i hate achievements in wow. Leveling in this game is so cool. Due to fact that this game has a difficulty slider it is refreshing and not so boring as wow. Also you do not get weaker every level, only stronger, since i haven't noticed a scaling in this game yet.

[@Sleazzebag]

Yes, it's really impressive how many new players or returning players the game has because of the 64-bit server. I always checked the player count on Steam before the new server was released and it was always 150-220 and now it's 1100-1600. The game is really amazing and deserves it ❤️

[@gfimadcat]

keep in mind that a lot of people don't actually use Steam and just use the straight Lotro launcher :)

The "sliding" or "gliding" animations have always put me off right from the get go. I just can't get into this game, they could have fixed this in all the years the game has been out yet they have not. Hard pass.

[@marcinsarniak]

It's quite interesting. These animations give me a sense of nostalgia for games from that period. I know it's objectively bad, but in my opinion it has a weird charm to it. Its almost like this game got stuck in 2007, for the good and bad.
