We have a wonderful opportunity for you to win some Turbine Points! Thaladus has offered up a Turbine Points he’s purchased himself just for you to create a great LOTRO video.
This will be a Lotro in-game video montage with the theme of “I am a Rockstar”. The rest of the story is up to you to show us in a original video. Entrees may be serious or funny. We mostly want to see creativity!
One of the few plugins that I miss from World of WarCraft is ArkInventory. And although due to Lua constrictions we don’t have a plugin that can match that utilities functions, Hugebag is definitely a step in the right direction.
Hugebag is an inventory replacement addon that will merge all your bags into one large bag that also adds a range of functionality:
Sorts your bags (utilizing the previously reviewed SortPack plugin)
Merges like items into one stack.
Will let you search for items by name
Has 2 modes, widget and window
Allows you to view only certain item types in your inventory (potions, cosmetics, etc.)
For those of you who haven’t had a chance to get into Isengard yet, Turbine released a new trailer and some screenshots to further entice you to join in the latest battle. I’m a big fan of Turbine’s trailers, mainly because they use in-game footage and not CG trickery to make things look prettier.
And if you want to see some of the new baddies, check out the screenshots of the new forces of the White Hand.
I made a point to ask Turbine yesterday about videos and received permission to post videos based on our common understanding. Based on that, I’ve put together a video with commentary of the changes for the Minstrel class. We’ve seen some great written guides, but I know for some videos are more helpful. If Bullroarer comes back up, I will probably do another run with the Yellow line to see how that works out but this video focuses mainly on War-speech. I’ll also try to do some for the Warden changes and possibly the Captain.
This week we take a look at Gambit Helper from Zanttux. This plugin is something that I have definitely been in need of for a while. Although I have covered Warden plugins before I found myself needing something a bit more extensive.
Now that I’m back on my Warden and leveling him I find that I have (surprise, surprise) forgotten most of his gambits and what they do. This plugin solves that issue by putting a list of all of your character’s available gambits and putting them in a list on the screen and organizes them by their category. So far those categories are:
More news from Turbine today for the upcoming Rise of Isengard Expansion as they release some new action screenshots and another Video Developer Diary for the Gap of Rohan area. I actually like this style of diaries as you really get a feel for not only the visual style but the passion of the folks behind this game. As much as we might dislike some of the business decisions, it is things like these videos that keep me addicted to LOTRO.
