• 2008-Oct-22 - LOTRO has made a great leap ahead of WoW
| Some differences exist in their trade skill syste buy cheap lotro gold ms, but it's only skin deep. In WoW you gradually learn new recipes as your skill improves while LOTRO has five thresholds that unlock large groups of recipes. In WoW you can pick any two professions whereas LOTRO offers three, but only in seven prearranged combinations. Ultimately, crafting is done the same way: large amounts of slow and tedious harvesting of resources followed by crafting at a workbench or forge to slowly inch your skills up. LOTRO has made one minor improvement with the ability for master craftsmen to have critical successes. The Moria expansion also Guild wars gold promises a method for forging epic weapons which looks really cool, but sounds hauntingly similar to WoW's socket system. I enjoy using trade skills in MMOs, but I wonder at the perpetuation of the grueling and mind-numbingly tedious resource harvesting system that currently exists. Farming, in LOTRO, cheap lotro gold is the pinnacle (or should I say "pit") of this travesty. The gross similarities between WoW and LOTRO pervade just about every aspect the game. For quests, instead of using WoW's ! and ?, LOTRO has hovering rings. The structure, type, and nature of the quests, both in their execution and rewards systems, are cut from an identical mold. The only change in guild structure that I've been able to figure out, is actually a step backward: LOTRO doesn't have tabards. Character growth also follows parallel lines with the major distinction being WoW's Talents vs. LOTRO's Traits. But again, WoW wins here. Many of the Traits are earned by monotonous farming of monsters or repetitive use of skills whether they are the best choice for a particular situatio lord of the rings gold _the_Rings_Online_EU.6.aspx">buy lotro eu gold n or not (I don't know how many Blade Storms, an AoE attack, I performed against single enemies with my Champion just to unlock a new skill). The end results are stat boosts and a few add new maneuvers in no particular order. In contrast, WoW's Talents are fundamentally incorporated into the life of a character with skill trees that allow players to carve a path to newer and more powerful abilities. There is only one facet that LOTRO has made a great leap ahead of WoW and that is in graphics. But who cares? If there is anything that the rousing and persistent success of WoW has shown, it lotro power leveling is the minor importance of eye-candy. The problem is simply that LOTRO is WoW Jr., but they aren't alone. During PAX, I had an opportunity to check out Warhammer Online and it functions the same way. From what I've read, Age of Conan is little different except for some attempts to push the PvP envelope. |
