Originally posted by Vrael231 1.Ok i can't really say a lot about the whole monster thing, becasue i haven't thourghly researched it, but when in the books did Aragorn, Legolas, Gimili, Frodo, Samwise, Both greay and white Gandalf, Borimir, Farimir, Merry, Pippen, and everyone else battle as monsters. 2. About the battles among free people of middle earth, there r no rangers in t his game so no aragorn, so no king. So who knows. 3. I highly doubt that all of the people at turbine read all four books or even the main 3. Of course i cld easily be wrong. 4. Just y, y are they doing this to such a great story, y make a mmorpg, its fine as it is, and if u hav to make it follow the books almost to perfection(chracter wise and land ) Its just so tantalizing to think of what this game could be. 5. I hav my opinion and u won't be able to change it. Insults nor actionw ill change it.
Obviously you have not bothered to research anything at all about the development. Turbine has several Tolkien and Middle Earth experts on their staff and all elements of the game have to have approval from Tolkien Enterprise.
As far as the monster play it's a game and meant to be entertaining, not a Middle Earth Sim which would be terribly boring. My only requirement of the game is that it be entertaining. All it has now is my interest, I have long ago learned that to never say never or put too much faith in anything I have not tried myself. I will probably gamble 50 dollars on the game when it is released unless something happens to convince me otherwise beforehand. However as of now it looks like Turbine might be just be developing the next big game. I only hope it lives up to it's hype.
Originally posted by Domenicus I think that Turbine has proven that they *really* dont know what a player want. Now to make PvP you need to transform yourself in a ....'monster'? Well, I am not even start to mention how short-sighted it is to call Orcs, Trolls, etc... 'monsters''' in a complex world like Tolkien's reakm. And EVERY PvPer like to play his character, to test it against others, I do not want to became a 'monster' to PvP. I want my Elf, my Dwarf, to fight on PvP...
Is there any way to get the wonderful Tolkien world out of turbine's hand?
Uhm, "they dont know what a player want"
"I am not even start to mention how"
"like to play his"
After my brain was done spinning from that, I suggest you read the actual books, and the complex realm of Tolkien that you speak of, but seem to know very little of. Because Elves didn't go around ganking hobbits. Hobbits didn't fight Dwarves. Dwarves didn't fight men.
If you knew anything about the world of Tolkien, you would recognize these races as the free peoples, who fought against the Great Enemy, servant of Morgoth.
I just wish the kids who want to play this game, would stop trying to think that what they saw on the movie screen, is exactly what happened in the books, as well as "how" it happened.
I got to thinking, and reading again some of the posts here, and it seems like some folks here think that the only way to "PvP" is to assume the monster form. Remember, it is PvP and as you are fighting the Free Peoples (as a monster), that means that normal player characters will fight in PvP.
So, to address the OP's "Now to make PvP you need to transform yourself in a ....'monster'?"
No, YOU don't. But other people will and then you can take your regular character into those MPvP areas and "pwnz joo" all night long.
Heck, who knows. I might just end up fighting you as a monster since it looks like I may have to participate to open up PvE buffs that I will need.
