  1. Great overview of the changes to Lore Masters! Much appreciated.

  2. Are you guys seeing a lot of bugs in the Isengard expansion? My system locks up about once an hour since installing this, and it never did with Mirkwood or previous expansions. I'm wearing out my reset key with this upgrade.

  3. I haven't had to many problems with the expansion. Probably the biggest issue is the frame rate lag when entering populated zones. Its not so much that the refresh rate isn't keeping up but more like the occasional skipping forward that occurs. The other thing that throws me is the 'layers' effect. Its weird to see someone in an area and then suddenly 'poof' they are gone.

  4. I was mostly interested in the class changes and you never fail me, Alberos! I love listening to your lotrocast, it helps me to understand what's happening in other areas where I've not been involved.
