Rift: Planes of Telara

[Ctuchik]

With a full Stormcaller spec at 42 I was critting on AoE for up to 1.6k and could spam AoE almost infinitely...

There are very few instant AoEs though, which is what really made Warhammer AoE so out of control. That and the combination of guard and close quarters.

Yes, AE's can be powerful, but you cant spec for that alone and do well in pvp as in DAoC or Warhammer.



15 minutes ppl!

looking at server select list, 7 english servers..... >.<

A bit early to make such a bold statement. I'd probably agree for the most part, but it greatly depends on the group setup holistically more than one player's spec I think.

hmm 17:57 and i have a 56mb patch to DL just aswell it went at over 1mb speed hehe.

sure, i'm probably not spot on there.

But from what i've seen ppl won't build groups around AE's as much in this game as in Warhammer for example, where a sorc or BW were pretty much a must have if you wanted to succeed on a regular basis..

 

[Madmaxx]

pfft 4000th or so in que for whitefall, 10 hours wait! hah

 

[Toggers]

lol me too

 

[~Latency~]

lol me too

+1 more in the queue XD

 

[Fefner]

lol massive queue time, maybe they didnt think it will be this popular? I think they also needed to add another pvp english server on the list.

 

[Madmaxx]

pfft everythings full so joined bloodiron english pvp server for something to do in the mean time lol

 

[Ctuchik]

lol massive queue time, maybe they didnt think it will be this popular? I think they also needed to add another pvp english server on the list.

all they had to do was look at the number of preorder accounts registered..

not that hard really.

 

[~Latency~]

zzz this is so brass, came back from the toilet at 6:03.. big mistake XD

 

[pito]

i am number 4287 only 27 hours wait

 

[Tilda]

haha what are you like 6k in the queue?

 

[pito]

just saw sagesire has no queue i say we jump ship and go there while we can

 

[Ctuchik]

I've managed to create my character but i cant connect to the gameworld

/edit: 2 more pve servers are coming online, but that doesn't help me anything

/edit 2: http://www.riftstatus.com/ says all servers offline but i don't trust that enough to stop trying to connect to the server

 

[pito]

well i am jumping ship or shard for the time been going sagesire, but is rather disappointing that in less than 3 min all servers were full, and now they are doing a WAR and just producing servers like there is no tomorrow.

 

[Madmaxx]

yeah i got to bloodiron when it came up and was low, then got disconnected an was in a que on 500+ lol. I havent done a head start before and obviously i never miss much.

What else can they do? There should have been way more then just 7 english servers to begin with.

I mean, there were 5 - 10k ppl per server per queue fgs.

 

[pito]

so where did everyone end up?

 

[Toggers]

sagspire

will swap onto whitefall later tho to meet up with everyone else

 

[Madmaxx]

whitefall: position 1863
time 4 hours


I dont think Ive played CoD this much recently.

 

[Madmaxx]

just went and washed up dinner stuff, came back to the disconnected thing almost raged until i re-connected to 116queue and 11 minutes

 

[Madmaxx]

but its changed to server im queue'ing for what the F lol



Shivermere UK PvP apparently, guess ill try it anyway.

 

[~Latency~]

anyone getting insane pings outside of starter area?

 

[Madmaxx]

playing on the UK pvp server has been fun, have a level9 marksman. Its sweet to run about in a nice happy well lit forest questing as usual ..then a RIFT opens up ..all hell breaks out; it goes dark an tons of mobs spawn haha; an you can automatically join a public group which is even better. Graphics look nice on ultra to, I want to do more Rift'ing though they are fun fun fun. (for me).

 

[Ctuchik]

anyone getting insane pings outside of starter area?

No but the server i'm on is struggling something horrible at times.

Not network lag as i have constant sub 80 MS ping when it happens.

 

[BloodOmen]

Well 15 minute server downtime now, got to 16 so far - rest?

 

[Ctuchik]

I'm only 9, didn't play that long as i wanna give the lemmings a change to level ahead so i can be somewhat alone with my quests.

haha I was quite suprised when I got to level8 ? or so after the first RIFT and you had to go through the portal to rescue people under water; that the area with the merchants and trainers was packed I as wondering what was going on.

 

[Bahumat]

These server queues are so gay. We either stick it out, or reroll on a server that probably gets merged later and we end up with another server we don't want to be on.
