Ar-Pharazon-V — 06/27/2021
Feeling warm >.>
Varda — 06/27/2021
Due to summertime?
Ar-Pharazon-V — 06/27/2021
Still, that's not really news, it doesn't take much, 20 degrees'll
do it.
[4:06 PM]
Yep.
Varda — 06/27/2021
Twenty degrees change, aye, we can feel that.
Ar-Pharazon-V — 06/27/2021
No, 20C
Varda — 06/27/2021
adds another fan down in the pit
[4:07 PM]
68 F?
[4:07 PM]
Sounds pretty cool, if I did that right
Ar-Pharazon-V — 06/27/2021
For a Texan maybe
[4:07 PM]
But I'm easily warm. I prefer about 15-18.
Varda — 06/27/2021
84 F and rainy here.
Ar-Pharazon-V — 06/27/2021
Last few weeks have gone up to 28 or so.
Eonwë Valar — 06/27/2021
97F and sunny here. 68F is a nice cool day.
Varda — 06/27/2021
So about 29 C here.
Ar-Pharazon-V — 06/27/2021
It's currently 22.5 here, in the evening. I'd like it less.
Varda — 06/27/2021
We've been having rain for weeks off and on. Keeps it from being so
hot.
[4:09 PM]
Texas has a very wide range of temperatures. I'm by the coast.
[4:10 PM]
Heh, can you believe we're talking about the weather?
[4:10 PM]
If we don't like the weather here, we can just wait a minute.
Eonwë Valar — 06/27/2021
Best place to start with small talk? :}
[4:11 PM]
"This is an awful lot of weather we're having here."
Arien Valar — 06/27/2021
13 degrees here
[4:11 PM]
Well then how about talking the weather in Middle Earth ?
Treebeard — 06/27/2021
Do hobbits have enough hair on their feet to travel in the snow
comfortably?
Eonwë Valar — 06/27/2021
That and their leathery soles seemed to keep them on their feet
walking up the Caradhras.(edited)
Ar-Pharazon-V — 06/27/2021
Not really shoe-wearers in general, I believe.
Arien Valar — 06/27/2021
they seemed to struggle though as it got harsher and Boromir and
Aragorn carried them I believe
[4:14 PM]
But i think that had to do with the amount of snow and not with the
temperature
Eonwë Valar — 06/27/2021
That's how I rememeber it, Arien.
Ar-Pharazon-V — 06/27/2021
So if they'd had bigger feet...
Treebeard — 06/27/2021
...short legs and wading through waste deep snow, I think
Varda — 06/27/2021
The Stoors were the main wearers of foot-gear, but other hobbits
were also said to wear it at times.
Ar-Pharazon-V — 06/27/2021
Snow-shoe size feet.
Varda — 06/27/2021
They did need to invent snow-shoes. : )
Eonwë Valar — 06/27/2021
The Lossoth used bone to that effect, as I recall.
Varda — 06/27/2021
The elves didn't need them so they weren't invented?
Eonwë Valar — 06/27/2021
I wonder about that.
Varda — 06/27/2021
Dwarves just went underground.
Ar-Pharazon-V — 06/27/2021
diggy diggy snow
Varda — 06/27/2021
Suppose elves could walk on mud?
[4:19 PM]
heh
Eonwë Valar — 06/27/2021
I imagine if any Elves wore boots, it would probably be the Noldor.
Ar-Pharazon-V — 06/27/2021
I bet they were pointy.
Varda — 06/27/2021
Seems as if they would all wear boots at least part of the time.
Eonwë Valar — 06/27/2021
It doesn't necessarily say the Elves of Mirkwood didn't wear boots
so far as I remember, just that Legolas was wearing light shoes.
Don't quote me on that though.
Varda — 06/27/2021
True that Legolas wore light shoes.
[4:20 PM]
That ability of walking on snow was never explained.
Eonwë Valar — 06/27/2021
And some Noldor at least had to wear dancing shoes to tap-dance
around that oath everywhere they went :} OK, bad joke :}
Varda — 06/27/2021
hahahaha
Ar-Pharazon-V — 06/27/2021
heh
Varda — 06/27/2021
And yet they couldn't escape, not even Finrod.
Ar-Pharazon-V — 06/27/2021
I know elven boots are a fantasy/rpg staple for lightness, agility
and movement speed.

: )
Eonwë Valar — 06/27/2021
Much like Aman, I suspect it's a quality of the wearer rather than
the craft, so maybe Elves in heavy boots could walk on snow just as
well. Maybe even Elves in cowboy boots.
Ar-Pharazon-V — 06/27/2021
Maybe Legolas' light shoes were heavy for anyone else?
Eonwë Valar — 06/27/2021
Hehe, now I'm thinking of Goku's weighted clothing.
Ar-Pharazon-V — 06/27/2021
Ah, yes
[4:26 PM]
"I'm not fighting at full strength!" takes off shirt and drops it
to the ground, it leaves a small crater
Eonwë Valar — 06/27/2021
Anyway, I believe we've diverged quite alot from the intended path
:}
Treebeard — 06/27/2021
I'm thinking of Legolas' 3000 year old foot calluses
Eonwë Valar — 06/27/2021
Ouch Fangorn, hehe.
Ar-Pharazon-V — 06/27/2021
I could see hobbits in oversized clogs.
Varda — 06/27/2021
This is too much fun so we need to sidestep into other fun. : )

[4:37 PM]
Varda also has some LotRO news, so I turn the floor over to her
before reclaiming it for more Gaming News.(edited)
Varda — 06/27/2021
I figure that's just too much scattering of us, and fear the
inconstance of these sorts of servers like with Ithil's demise.
[4:38 PM]
I can go ahead and set up a kin on each with a Fainan on each, but
don't plan on making it anything unless Valarites want it.
Anor is just barely used and takes away from Landroval right now.
[4:39 PM]
If anyone has an opinion on it who actually plays LotRO, please feel
free to let me know here, by email, or any other way that is
comfortable for you.
I might do it just to preserve our good name.
Eonwë Valar — 06/27/2021
2 servers is my limit.
Varda — 06/27/2021
I would prefer to keep it to just Landroval. We made the Legendary
servers but they were a bit too much stretching, it seemed to me.
[4:41 PM]
What it did do was keep the gamers to those willing to subscribe,
and helped get groups for earlier instances.
[4:42 PM]
But since we have members who are monetarily or time challenged,
Landroval's free to play helped us all get together.
[4:43 PM]
I do want to hear discussion on the matter and do intend to make the
protective kin set-up if I can on the other servers.
If you want to use your own favorite name on those servers, that
might be an incentive. Otherwise, I don't expect much.
Feel free to change my mind. : )
.
[4:44 PM]
In other news,
[4:45 PM]
the Midsummer Festival is going, celebrating the wedding of Aragorn
and Arwen.
Lots of quests and good times.
Ar-Pharazon-V — 06/27/2021
Lucky dog, marrying a woman who doesn't visibly age.
Varda — 06/27/2021
: )
[4:45 PM]
We have also been grouping a bit more.
[4:46 PM]
Frodo's family grouped today with Fangorn and myself to do some
instance running: Othrongroth, the first two, to set us up for
Sambrog.
[4:46 PM]
Midsummer can be done together also.
Eonwë Valar — 06/27/2021
That's what the removal of glasses are for, Phar, lol.
Varda — 06/27/2021
And dwarvish imbibing.
Ar-Pharazon-V — 06/27/2021
hehe
Arien Valar — 06/27/2021
oh btw Varda .. do you fancy running some Fornost quests :?
Eonwë Valar — 06/27/2021
Or the wearing of the rose-colored kind. Take your pick, hehehe.
Varda — 06/27/2021
We have also been doing a bit of other running.
[4:47 PM]
When, Arien?
Arien Valar — 06/27/2021
next sunday before the meeting maybe?
Varda — 06/27/2021
We've been on most of today, so there's a chance we could do that,
aye. We'll give it a shot. Discord helps!
[4:48 PM]
Landroval I assume?
Arien Valar — 06/27/2021
i think so yes i have the check the character ^^
Varda — 06/27/2021
Also, check with Irmo in what would be my mornings. : )

[4:49 PM]
What is your level, Arien?
[4:50 PM]
Give us an idea which characters to bring.
Arien Valar — 06/27/2021
Aye its my Elf cappy Iocharien .. did a bit questing round
there she is 27 now and in Fornost are only the group quests
left
Varda — 06/27/2021
So around level 27, 30, folks.
Arien Valar — 06/27/2021
aye
Varda — 06/27/2021
Others of us at that level may not have been in the Fornost area
yet. In fact, that's very likely. But we can give it a shot.
Arien Valar — 06/27/2021
i think the epic book questline leads that way
Varda — 06/27/2021
Starcraft 2 played this past week
by Fangorn, Eowyn, Faramir, and our grandson that I know of.
[4:55 PM]
We have other games (a lot as you can see on the side of this chat)
but that's what I know of as grouped. : )
[4:56 PM]
Any other gaming news? Membership news?
Eonwë Valar — 06/27/2021
I still had more from me :}
Varda — 06/27/2021
Eonwe, your gavel.
Eonwë Valar — 06/27/2021
Thanks.
[4:59 PM]
For my last piece of gaming news, I recently bought the Ninja Gaiden
Master Collection Deluxe Edition on Steam. I'm a few chapters
into the second game, so I thought I'd give a sort of review/first
impression so far.
A few notes overall:
[5:01 PM]
These games are M rated, so they're not for kids. If you've played
the Diablo series, you've seen more or less what to expect, just
closer to the screen.
[5:03 PM]
The Master Collection utilizes the Sigma and Sigma+ versions of
Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden 2 from Playstation consoles. There's a
mixed bag of good and bad because of that, and most of my gripes are
related to this choice rather than anything technically specific to
the Master Collection.
[5:05 PM]
For Ninja Gaiden 3, it's the Razor's Edge version. I haven't
got to this game yet, but based on when I played in on the XBox 360,
I expect the language to be stronger and the graphic violence to be
more in line with the original Ninja Gaiden 2 rather than Sigma 2
where it was toned down. I won't be commenting on the third game
today.
Soundtrack/Artbook:
[5:06 PM]
My only disappointment here is that there's not an official way to
extract this to be viewable outside of the program built to house
it. I would have liked to actually add the music to my music
folder.(edited)
[5:07 PM]
Ninja Gaiden Sigma:
[5:09 PM]
I'd say it's a mostly solid version of the game. It adds a few
chapters where you can play a secondary character, and that's fun.
The sigma version does eliminate access to some places i.e. the
Military base. It means you have to be sure you get everything from
those locations the first time.
[5:10 PM]
It removes some doors, makes you have to take a longer way to get
somewhere that in the original you could cut through certain paths.
It simplifies access to some items and areas and shortens the maps,
which isn't necessarily a good thing.
[5:11 PM]
It uses the PS3/4 default controller scheme. Fortunately, can be
adjusted.
[5:12 PM]
There's no New Game+ in this version, all the work collecting and
upgrading weapons gets tossed aside.
[5:13 PM]
The worst part: someone got the "brilliant" idea of making the
costumes obtained from beating the various difficulties affect
stats, so you can't even just switch to a different costume for a
different look like in the good versions of the game. (From the
Sigma+ version)(edited)
[5:14 PM]
The XBox versions the costumes were cosmetic, affected no stats, so
you could start a new game with a new look and not have to worry
about what it meant for your attack, life, or defense.(edited)
[5:16 PM]
Overall the game is as enjoyable as I remember it, but the downsides
do put a damper on replayability to me. I say this as a guy who's
replayed the XBox versions several times already, hehe.
[5:17 PM]
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2:
First impressions here.
[5:18 PM]
The biggest problem right now is directly related to this version:
It crashes and freezes too readily. When it does, I have to shut it
down from the Task Manager.
Blood/Gore toned down from original Ninja Gaiden 2. It's not
particularly missed, more disappointed they caved to pressure to
change it.
[5:19 PM]
Controller inputs locked to certain schemes, all based on PS
controls. None of them are good to me, and only one is servicable.
This version of the game reduces Ryu's arsenal from the original
version - not appreciated. The couple of new weapons added cannot
make up for it.
[5:20 PM]
There's charging bowshots, no incendiary shuriken, no windmill
shuriken.
[5:21 PM]
They added a large sword, which is serviceable so far, and a
sawed-off shotgun with a long time from trigger pull to recovery, so
I don't see a whole lot of use for it when the bow is faster and the
melee weapons are the point. I guess we'll see though.(edited)
[5:22 PM]
The Trials of Valor were taken out (shame) and items they awarded
scattered around the levels.
[5:23 PM]
Crystal Skulls (Collectible item) only reduce cost of items at shop
now, so there's no really point except completion to get them now.
Some boss fights were added (ok), others changed (so far for the
worse).
The worst change so far: You're only able to upgrade weapons at
certain Muramasa shrines (Shopkeep/Blacksmith), and only one weapon
at each shrine that allows it. That's a horrible design. If I have
the currency to spend, I should be able to upgrade at any shrine
just like the original.
[5:24 PM]
It was already gated behind chapter for how far a weapon could be
upgraded anyway.(edited)
[5:25 PM]
Chapter Challenges allows playing a chapter again after it's been
beaten. You get fully upgraded weapons but not fully upgraded
health.
[5:26 PM]
Overall the game also feels easier than the original Ninja Gaiden 2.
If I judged it just by the limit on weapon upgrades and what they
did to Ryu's arsenal, I'd say it's a worse game than the original.
The additional content in the form of missions with secondary
characters is the only thing that keeps it from being a complete
downgrade.
[5:27 PM]
I can't see myself too excited about playing this one too many
times, and that is again, coming from someone who played the
original on XBox 360 several times already.(edited)
[5:30 PM]
That's it for my Review/First Impressions so far. When I complete
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, if I have anything to add I'll comment then,
and again when I finish NInja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge.
[5:31 PM]
I return the floor to Varda. Thankfully, because of the gore
adjustments in Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma, the bodies of all the ninjas
fallen for the making of this review will have vanished by the time
she takes back up the gavel :}
Varda — 06/27/2021

Arien Valar — 06/27/2021
i d like to put in a correction to the request for the Fornost
quests in Lord of the Rings online .. the character, Iocharien, is a
27 champion not a 27 captain .. she might get a tiny bit further
before next sunday but not much
Varda — 06/27/2021

Eonwë Valar — 06/27/2021
I'm quite sure he doesn't mean that in the way it's likely to be
used, and probably has already.
Ar-Pharazon-V — 06/27/2021
Oh I'm not saying it's a negative thing, but I do think it's
interesting that he's given them Jewish traits.
Eonwë Valar — 06/27/2021
I must be off. Take care, good night, sleep well, and have fun.

It's a sort of physics puzzle game, where you manipulate lines to
get the scientist(s) in their basic geometrical form to that
particular form's exit.
[6:37 PM]
Very atmospheric take on line/string manipulation physics, with an
interesting story around it

is the second game! A point and click detective game, specializing

And after last time, I don't really have much more to add to that
one, except it's just as fun as the other colors

Blizzard gaming:
[6:50 PM]
Heroes of the Storm:
Still level 456. I did have a rare quest combo that allowed me to
play Sgt. Hammer, though, which is always a ton of fun
[6:56 PM]
Hearthstone:
Level 115 on the reward track, still getting more gold from there
[6:57 PM]
About halfway to the next hero skin.
[6:57 PM]
Brawl is murlocs! Choose a class, get random class spells and many
murlocs.
[6:58 PM]
Randomness of course, but still fun I go for that with shaman,
since I'm now using the murloc hero skin for that class, and there
might be occasional murloc-classspells in there too
[6:58 PM]
In all, very fitting combination!
[7:00 PM]
WoW:
[7:01 PM]
I was wrong last week about it being our last planned raid reset,
since it was just an invite confusion as they'd put up next tier's
invites early, and we were still planning one for this week.
[7:02 PM]
But we managed to get Denathrius down on tuesday, last day of the
reset, getting our last few raiders their achievement, and decided
to take a raidbreak after that after all
[7:04 PM]
Battlegrounds weekly! Brawl counted, which was good, but after that
the going was slow. Did the epic battleground weekly from the pvp
npcs at the same time, so started with a bunch of epic battlegrounds
which I lost, but after that was done and I switched to random
normal battlegrounds, wins came much more easily.
[7:04 PM]
But it's done, and my honor level is now 78, close to 79. Almost at
the magic number of 80 which will finally unlock my last artifact
appearance
[7:06 PM]
Beat the final campaign mission on the mission board! Got the fourth
mount, in my case the Chittering Animite, a flying devourer mount.
Looks very interesting
[7:07 PM]
Now all that's left on the mission board is to level my followers to
60 - first few have reached 50 now - and to complete the missing Maw
missions. Which should get easier as they slowly inch their way to
60.
[7:08 PM]
Been spending more anima on the wild hunt vendor, buying a faewoven
pack cloak appearance in my quest to buy em all. Next target is a
new mount for 5k!
[7:10 PM]
Finally, alting! Completed an intermediate section of the class
campaign for my paladin now, but it does indeed look like the next
one starts at 45. So I sent her down to Azsuna, fighting some
demons, helping some dragons and tracking down the first Pillar only
to lose it to some naga who took it into the dungeon.
[7:11 PM]
I won't be going there at this point, but instead wrap up the
remaining arcs of the zone and seeing how close I get to 45. I've
gone from 36 to 41 so far, and leveling seems pretty smooth in this
zone, rather than dialogue heavy class campaigning
[7:11 PM]
And that's my report for the week!
[7:12 PM]
(oh, and as 40 is the requirement for master flying, she can fly the
fastest now!)
