Isengard Class Changes: Captains
If you have been following the posts made by developers on the forums and in their my.LOTRO blogs, then you know that class changes are going to rock in Isengard. I thought I would put up a series of posts on each of the classes and keep them updated as new information comes in. Also, if I have an opinion, I will post that as well.
This overview will cover Captains. The resident developer in charge of Captains is Raskolnikov. I will try to both write what has changed and what it is currently, in case you are wanting to roll a Captain alt in the near future and want to know what will happen in Isengard.
NOTE: These are only proposed! Things may change in Beta testing. Read more…
How to Harness the HUD, Part 2

My second thought was “hmm….could be a good thing.”
Here is a run-down of all of the changes, with my comments: Read more…

How to Harness the HUD, Part 1
Sometimes when a new player logs in to a game, they just stand there in confusion with all of the many buttons!!! You have the general health bar, power bar, skill bar, inventory bags, etc. that are present in every combat/exploring game. Then you have a slough of options to wade through as you make seemingly unimportant decisions about whether you automatically loot all, or have trivial quest icons shown, or have static tooltips, or even have tooltips at all.
