Rift: Planes of Telara

[Gwadien]

if you think about it, if you stick to your guns and go on a popular server, you'll have loads of good guilds, but not many randomers/soloers, but whereas if you roll on a 'new' server, there will be loads of soloers and people who rolled on their own

True but 24 hour queue is a bit much, I don't mind waiting an hour or two but 24 is a bit too much
It also worries me a bit because let's say the increase the capacity cap, is already hard to quest as it is, and not to mention when the rest of the people join on actual release date, if we thought is crowded now imagine then.
Anyway gonna leave work early so maybe ill get to at least make my toon in whiteleaf before 10 p$

 

[~Latency~]

got to lvl 11 on my riftstalker on sagespire and a lvl 7 nightshade on whitefall... just messing around really not taking it too seriously, games been out less than 24 hours gonna take my time, roll a mage/cleric and see what i like most ;d

 

[Ctuchik]

I'm rerolling on the Imperium server, low population there so will be easy to level up before proper release when it fills up

Think i'm gonna go guardian there just for the hell of it..

 

[~Latency~]

I've ended up on Bloodiron, little to no queue and decent atmosphere

not too busy around the lvl 10 mark either been having a blast, awesome game

 

[Madmaxx]

the invasions can go on for a bit right pain when trying to hand in quests or something and you lose control of an area.

 

[Ctuchik]

I'm finding the events more and more annoying. It's really not fun to defend something when there's 40+ invasions incoming...

 

[eksdee]

It's all linked to the amount of players in the zone - hence high population in the lowbie zones means it goes insane. They should really have seen this coming, though. It's incredibly annoying for sure.

 

[BloodOmen]

Well, we moved to Imperium because of the Queue's on Whitefall biggest queue we've seen on Imperium so far is 50 people 29 levels on whitefall gone to waste :< back upto 23 now tho on Imperium.

Aye, 48 hours of solid dungeon grind i'm back upto 34 now like, just a shame we didnt stay on whitefall or i'd prob be 43-46 by now :<

Bloody hell, Still mid teens and intend on taking my time, enjoying...you know.. the story?

BO is our hardcore guild member, it's the new fashion, every guild must have one!

Rolled whitefall I was fortunate to get straight on but having 40+ guildies in a 6 hour queue caused us to jumped to Bloodiron. Server still has small queues but I appreciate what Trion are trying to do. This is after all the headstart, it's up to the new players starting on Thursday to populate the new servers that are being created and not add to the current servers load.

WAR failed from the start by opening far too many severs which in turn lost them more subs from people being forced to move from their server due to low numbers. Trion are rolling out more in a much more controlled manner.

Not dungeon grinding, solo questing.

And apparently didn't use the XP bugs either as those ppl were spamming X was the first to complete this or that quest on the shard.

Speaking of nothing, for the first time ever i joined a guild solely on the basis of the guild name...

Blood Sweat and Beers.....

 

[Madmaxx]

I couldnt win warfronts at all till today, now Ive won 5 in a row



This was my best warfront yet I think 500-8 team score, did 11k damage and the next highest person was 6k or so

Edit: and also got the first spam from plat farmers wtf!?

 

[Calaen]

Been on the wrong side of 500 - 6 two times. Love the codex, much bigger version of Nordenwatch (WAR).

Had 9 killing blows yesterday for 4k damage Markman ftw!!!!

 

[Madmaxx]

yeah, before today I hadnt won one match was a right pain! really wanted Bow reward hehe; glad I stuck with it even though I got destroyed a few times.

NOOOO!!! - dont say that - get thee behind me Satan I'm too busy to get sucked into pvp....

I call bullshit on solo questing then because I know someone thats been logged in the game since it went live and has 2 hour shift sleeping sessions and he's only 45.

So they've either abused something or its been dungeon grind, no way is that from solo questing.

p.s the guy i'm talking about has literally done nowt but solo quest, hasnt even touched a warfront or instance.

 

[BloodOmen]

Bloody hell, Still mid teens and intend on taking my time, enjoying...you know.. the story?

i've enjoyed the story, i've done the majority of the story quests, all i've missed is 3 instances other than that i've done every single quest upto 37.

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

Queues on first few servers were insane. I really despise this approach to capping access at launch in such a way. We ended up playing on Sparkwing just because it meant not sitting around for hours on end to get in, then getting kicked out at random.

I think technology has reached a sufficient level where accounts should be server-independant. Put restrictions on how often people can move and whatever other issues arise from putting in such a feature but basically this account-tied-to-server is past its sell-by date and there's no need for it in any emerging MMO.

These niggles aside, the game seems pretty good so far. I like the Rift mechanic and the class mechanics.

Not so sure why Defiant seem to be cleaning up in the Warfronts but I've not had enough time to analyse what is going on and not theorycrafted it yet.

Lvl20 at time of typing.

Well, i had 14 killing blows today for 200 - 300 damage each, i win then?

So your telling me that the "x has completed quest x first on this shard" spam is wrong then?

Granted i wasn't online all the time he was but whenever i was i saw that spam a LOT.

And unless you can be anonymous in this game there was noone around his level that he could group with for the instances because he was 10 - 15+ levels above everyone else.

Now i can't say for sure he didn't abuse something, just that it's highly unlikely looking at the amount of "first to complete quest" spam he was generating.

It's a lot better, and even after the kids go to bed.

Queues pop slower but it's worth it, so i won't play another WF ever until after 11pm

Further more people that have been questing to level up are still only around 47-48 (although personally the only people I know that are solo questing are 41-45) - and these are people that quite simply don't sleep. The amount of XP required per level goes up a fair bit after 40 and the quest XP does not (currently 40 and the quest xp is around 4-4.5k per quest and it requires 200k+ for a ding)

Not saying its impossible to be 50 at this point but claiming someone has done it purely off solo questing is quite silly given the time frame.
