Rift: Planes of Telara

[Roo Stercogburn]

Ok bit the bullet. Pre-ordered, will probably be going Guardian, not sure which server yet. Dominator/Warlock/Something-else.

I don't think Ancient Shadows will be making an official appearance in this game, so I'll probably be looking for some other guild to latch onto and shamelessly leech off

Loving my Bard. Pre-ordered and playing Defiant. Had to upgrade my gfx from 4850 to 6970 to get decent fps. Same engine as WAR but takes more to run i find.

think im going for a riftblade on release. Played one up to level 6, and their level 4 abilitiy is fun

Dont want to take it any further though as i dont want to spoil the experience of leveling up at release.

Can anyone reconmend any soul lines to go with this, and whats a good way to spec when leveling up ?

i've played a riftblade u to level 12 ish XD

i went riftblade/champ/paragon.. paragon's dual wield spec tho which i didn't get a chance to use, champ is similar to a warrior in WoW so as rift/champ you get tons of melee damage aswell as some decent spells/interupts/cc

most guides say to go paragon at lvl 18 cuz you get the nice talents but i've got no idea XD thought voidknight looked like a decent third choice for more surviveability wil see it's still early days but rift/champ is defo v good

 

[Ctuchik]

most guides don't have a fucking clue at the moment so you would do best to ignore them and play what YOU like.

Given the speed of patch changes and so forth, any guides are out of date unless written in the last 24 hours.

If you pick a class for it's OPed ability, don't be too disappointed when you read they nerfed it.

The level 4 riftblade ability (Flamespear) being one of those..

Looks fun, that pvp soul passive spell damage to players is sickening.

flamespear in the beta was pretty retarded and i'm glad they 'fixed' it, the soul is still awesome

 

[BloodOmen]

pew pew 3 days to go until leveling actually means something

has it been fixed yet? still does good damage in PVE

I think a few Valour may be going Guardian, although no idea which server yet, so we may well end up bumping into you!

Well, decided i won't purchase the game why? i dont see any difference between warhammer and this game.. except different story and crappier graphics. I did like the Soul's.. nice thought put into that! +1 I didn't like the looks of the armors, my god put so much effort in units and how they look and just cover it up with the most ugly armor i've seen in any game.. The instances, okej it's decent i guess same story as warhammer or any other instances for that matter. Rifts, awesomme, this really is nice. And somehow, even though my pc aint crap, when theres lots of action i am experiencing heavy framedrops.. i know i know im just whining but anyway not buying close call though with RIFT

Crappier graphics? not sure what you had your settings at but the graphics looked better than Warhammer by a long shot on ultra settings/max detail. As for the instances they're more complex than Warhammer I can't think of a single boss in Warhammer you couldn't tank and spank to death in Rift they've been scripted in such a way that you have to use your brain rather than just stand still and mash buttons.

That said you're basing all of this on an incomplete beta

 

[AngelHeal]

aye based on beta ofcourse

give it a chance i'm sure you won't be disappointed with the final product.

aww, u just saying that because u wanne slice me up ingame the game looks (for beta) oke, i mean like i said befor if we didnt have daoc to begin with our demands would be much much muuucch lower . but yes, i have not played the 'final game' like i/we did in daoc/wow/war.. which is ashame i agree. Allthough the image we're seing is pretty clear though, at low levels (till 30?) it's all about instancing and questing ur way up asap and pushing the right buttons at the right time. Now at the end levels (as u can see in role builer / armor webbies) u can see that templates are very much demanded. And that CC does get more important. And it's true that you say that I haven't played this part yet. The fact was that I was hoping they would allow us to.. and let us see it befor i would buy the game. Now i will wait till some here get max level and tell us how it is, befor i spend 50€ on the game

£34 on d2d.co.uk for the CE.

probably as cheap as you can get it in quite a while.

I didnt get much time in the beta to try many specs, but whats is the pure caster DPS spec? I was using pyromancer and the bolts were good, but I didnt get to try many of the others like warlock or maybe a Cleric line can do some nice damage.

 

[eksdee]

Stormcaller is probably the best damage right now. Pure DPS builds have been completely fucked in the latest Alpha notes though, as they moved 50% crit damage on Elementalist (central to any Mage DPS build) from needing 15 points to costing 23 (? I think) points to get just 30%.

That isn't to say it'll make it into the proper patch notes though, since Alpha gets patches almost every other day or so.

Wolverines will be there (hint hint)

 

[pito]

i will be playing RIFT as a riftsalker all tho i may go for riftblade at the last minute depending on how many changes they get at release since i believe they were a bit OP in beta, so they will most likely be hit very hard with the nerf bat.
I will play on a PvP server as guardian since i like to play underdogs so it would be cool to roll on a server with more guys from here, even if not in the same side ill be more than happy to give you a spank or two

 

[Ctuchik]

Not sure guardians will be the underdog tho. They are generally seen as the "good guys" and as per usual all the kids will zerg to that side.

I just hope they will open up enough servers at the start so i won't have to sit 40 minutes in a fucking queue...

 

[Ctuchik]

aye based on beta ofcourse

There is one MASSIVE difference between this game and Warhammer tho, Warhammer was broke beyond belief (and still is imo) when it released, this game is it's complete opposite

I think this is the first MMO ever to actually release when it's ready to be....

The kids usually zerg to the "evil" side cause it is kewl to be bad.

Yup, they do in every game more or less DAOC people flocked to ALB, WoW Alliance was the most popular faction first although everyone bums horde now, Aion not counting aion since russians were banned and russians make up such a huge portion of the player base.

So if past games are anything to go by which I think they will be Guardians will be the zerg faction and Defiant will be underdog.

Alb was evil, evil I tell you. :lol:

And in Warhammer, Mythic also gambled on people rolling Order only to have flocks going Destruction tipping much of the scale in the early game.

I think the "good/bad" thing is more a thing of other factors than just good/bad.
Besides, in Rift, I'd say the Defiant is more good for me than Guardians which seems rather ..... sanctimonious.
But looks like Guardian for me so I hope most roll Defiant
