TOG - The Older Gamers

I'm disappointed...
Since the last patch I really haven't played much UAV because they nerfed it's ability to take stuff out well.
I really think it needs a tweak.

   Take it up a notch so that 3-4 decent hits will kill a tank.
2. Upgrade to the options that the UAV has. I would like to be able to zoom in and shoot my machine gun.
3. Something else... like dropping a couple of sonars or something. More of a flyover machine?

As ever, the item (which was only ever a cosmetic)...

I've been playing some more... more assault sniper working on running at the back of the squad and working as a spawn point. I've played a couple of "squad death matches" and my team loved me.

Here's the kit setup.

T88 Sniper - 3 Shot kill - working with team mates means some good assists.
4x scope - At the short and medium distances this is really worthwhile. Sometimes un-scoped up close it just as good. Due to the amount of ammo you get in a magazine...

I've been playing LOTRO for a year now and it struck me recently that the game seems to have some of the strangest / silliest hats I've ever seen in an MMORPG.

Now, I don't consider this to be a bad thing in itself although it would be nice if LOTRO also had some of the best hats ever seen in an MMORPG; unfortunately it doesn't though this is a personal judgement of course.
