ReplyDeleteHope counters Gloom, Radiance does NOT counter Gloom. So if you enter an area with _Gloom_ you will experience negative effects unless you have a consumable or buff that provides _Hope_ specifically. Doesn't matter how much Radiance you have.
ReplyDeleteIm Hoping with Warner Brothers being part of the team now, we will see some things in game from the Hobbit and/or the The Silmarillion. Oh and the H in my name is silent :P thanks for the show!
ReplyDeleteLove the podcasts and thanks for the work you put in to produce them. This episode just saved me from "Britain's Got Talent". Your thoughts on the WB take over was very interesting, I to am hoping for a golden age for LOTRO. Love the LOREcasts they have inspired me to go back and read the Hobbitt.
ReplyDeleteGreat job as always, Alberos!
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned not being good with the Elvish pronunciation, so here are some tips to help you out.
The 'dh' in Sindarin (as in "Galadhrim" or "Edhellond") is a blend, so that it comes out sounding like the 'th' (/ð/) sound in English (as in "bath" or "throw").
'Ch' (as in "Forochel" or "Echad") is the hard /k/ sound. Think of how it's used in Gaelic, like 'Loch Ness'.
And 'au' (as in "Rauros") is pronounced 'ow', like 'mouse'.
Hope that helps!

ReplyDeleteForgot my other post I found a good explanation :). Although I still didn't find the original patch notes with the Radiance/Gloom/Hope/Dread change :(
ReplyDeleteAnyway check this out:

Hopefully that explains everything about Radiance/Hope/Dread/Gloom post Mirkwood!
And keep up the great show!

Just discovered the podcast a few weeks back and have been enjoying it a great deal!!! Keep up the great work!!!
ReplyDeleteI really liked your comparision of other MMO companies that have been bought out by bigger companies. You made some excellent, factual points on what has happened and presented a good hypothesis on what might happen with WB buying out Turbine.
I am trying to remain hopeful!!!

WB=Harry Potter=Turbine=Harry Potter online. I think this is less about lord of the rings online and more about warner brothers and harry potter
ReplyDeleteHopefully any major talent would be diverted from AC or DDO, rather than LotRO.
ReplyDeleteI think the purchase of Turbine by WB will help make LoTRO/DDO better. It opens up all the lore for turbine to play with and implement into the game. Plus a larger company can provide more money and resources to improve the game as a whole.
ReplyDeleteGreat podcast! Real life has prevented me from listening until today. I really like your assessment of the MMO business very insightful.
