Nuovo appuntamento per la Beta Journal di Lord of the Rings Online, attesissimo MMORpg di casa Turbine.Questa settimana ci verranno descritte le esperienze del Captain.Di seguito verrà riportato il comunicato ufficiale.
Today was my first time fighting with a fellowship in an instance.
Up until this point I had been struggling with the usefulness of my
captain. He "wasn't the best solo dps" or "his buffs and heals didn't
feel that effective." Part of this was because I was still in my lower
levels. Well today that all changed. I was exploring the town
of Bree when it dawned upon me to try and find the prancing pony. I
found the building and entered (the interior lighting of this game is
amazing). After exploring a few rooms, I was getting ready to leave and
a thought popped in to my head, "I wonder if I can find Aragorn here?"
I went upstairs looking for the guest rooms and walked into a room with
a man standing in the corner. I clicked on him and as stupid as it may
sound, seeing his name pop up was really exciting. What was more
exciting is that he wanted to give me a quest. I was to go and help
him and other rangers find a man that had been corrupted by the
wraiths. I decided it would be fun to do with a group and so I invited
a couple people to join me. I had a hard time finding my place
at first. I wasn't a healer, but I wasn't a tank. That's the great
thing about this game, is that it breaks some class stereotypes. We
engaged a group of brigands and after the first fell I boosted my
fellowships' morale and ferocity in battle. I led the charge into the
next group of enemies making my fellow players run more swiftly with
me. I even chose our targets and gave the call to attack causing the
brigands to engage us. I, for the first time, was able to see what a
captain was for. It was the most fun I've had in a mmo or a game in
general for a long time and it's one of the most interesting class
types I've ever played. A member of my fellowship commented that "it
really does feel like you're the Captain". It was true. Now that I've
gotten several more levels, I've found soloing is much more fun also,
but nothing compares to playing with a fellowship, doing what I was
made to do&being the Captain.
