Got a link to it, Cossie? Video doesn't seem to want to load for me (I hate Adobe).

[cossieuk]

weird, the video wont play for me either



I have also put the link in the post with the video

[Doro]

Cheers for that.

You sure you didn't link a video for GW2? So much of it just seems to have been taken from what GW2 is doing.

Think there's an adobe plug-in issue, plays fine in Opera for me, but not in Firefox.

Actually, I'd say this sounds much more like Rift's dynamic events. Though it doesn't even sound like it has that much depth. The more I hear about this the happier I am my money was spent on GW2.

There's an extended video of mmorpg.com playing through the new expansion on twitch.tv. I'm not very far in but the first quest is given by a Canadian so it's off to a bad start.

Edit: After watching some of the video, it just looks awkward. The way the horses move just seem all wrong to me. The only horses I've seen turn like these were quarterhorses trying to run staight. I would like to hear from someone who is excited about this though, because I can't see anything enjoyable about these warsteeds or mounted combat. Am I missing something?

Just watching that and you can see some of the beta players character names, so doesnt this breach the NDA as you now know some of the beat players

It would if a producer is not involved with video/live stream. Obviously they got special permission. It would be interesting if someone were to use this video to produce a list of people to be in the beta.

Well that's an hour of my life I'm never getting back.

I cant believe that I have just seen an item called Snowbourne Ration.  Can they not spell correctly

It looks really tedious having to continually turn around and around to get back at the mob.  It might be fun for an hour or so but I can't see that being enjoyable for very long.  That and hearing that mounted combat is a big part of this "expansion", I'm getting worried.  Needs beta invite so I can know once and for all if I can deal with this or not!

Playing with a mouse is going to be really horrible by the look of it. Look's more like you need a joystick.

[Laurinaohtar]

I'm really un-excited by mounted combat to be honest. So far it seems "click a skill", when you reach mob skill will execute, repeat.... Not exactly Mount & Blade is it?!

To be fair though exciting combat has never been Lotros big selling point.

agree about the horse movement...but it may because of the way the player was doing things.

to me it looked as though the horse was strafing(side-stepping) as it turned.

Here is another video about war steeds but no new info



Also Casual Stroll to Mordor have some new screenshots

I mean the green NPC bases that are so prominent for a long time bother me enough. But now we get arrows?
