Just started six-boxing lotro

[dancook]

One pc seems to handle six clients with instant swapping ok! which is nice.



So far I've setup

T
F1,F2 (pop up "Target Leader")

Alt-F
activates a follow shortcut

Then I have my formation macros.. and that's it! Quite exciting really.......

I did the whole intro using mouse broadcasting and randomly mashing 1-3 during fights.

Next session I'll be working out how to combat....

Lotro is a lot of fun. Good luck!

What are the specs of the computer your using . if you dont mind me asking

[dancook]

2600 sandybridge, 7970 v/card, 16gb ram - now it was meant to install on my SSD but turns out it ended up on my c: which is mechanical! however so far it seems to run well enough at high settings on all @1920x1200 so I won't change it at the moment.

Hey mate, welcome to LOTRO.

What server are you playing on?

[Palee]

Why 6? Is the party made of 6 people in Lotro?

[Ualaa]

I would assume so; Everquest was/is six, and Warcraft seemed odd with only five initially.

[dancook]

6 Players is your normal full party.

Thanks Arkenstone

Got to level 10 last night, still just hitting the 1 key for combat - so that's just 4 archers drawing the string on their bow.. nothing special, but everything dies too quickly for me to want to think about combat setup.

Does lotro have enough graphics minimizing settings that this could be feasible on a weaker machine? I got stuck around level 27 three years ago on group content and stuff that was just taking too long but I've always wanted to go back and finish the story.

There's quite a few graphic drop downs that I've got set to high etc.. so they could be toned down.

Haven't touched the game for a few weeks, been playing ME3 most recently -the time just flies.
