Rift - Planes of Telara

[CrackerJack]

yea yesterday was horrible, i got on right when server went live, then had to log on my account (dual boxing) and by then i was in q for 2hours... 2 hours later, it just up another hour. but finally 3 1/2 hours later i was on.. then the damn game went down for the "performance patch" (so much for polish) and after the 15min... i was in q for 2 hours 45min. But today it's been smooth

 

[NinkobEi]

I got right in after the performance patch. No queue at all. Also, I disconnected during the peak queue times and didnt have to wait in line to get back in. I guess some servers are more crowded than others. I havent tried today but I have high hopes. I'm on Shadefallen PVE-RP if anyone is playing. Name is Lubanja, on the guardian side.

 

[[H]@RD5TUFF]

I hope that queues today are better. Surely yesterday has been remedied with the new servers?

Server numbers have almost doubled.

 

[W1zzard]

havent had to wait in any queue yet since headstart started ^^ level 25

You can now check the status of your shard on the RIFT website.

Apparently numerous people with very high end machines get on average 30 fps and 10-15 in populated npc or player areas (such as rifts).

With my machine, even on the lowest possible settings and resolution, all sliders down and tick boxes off including v sync and shadows and AA, everything, I get about 35 fps normally and when I get to a city or a small town I get maybe 15 if I'm lucky.

There are billions of threads a day of people being like: "Bought a new computer... still getting 10 fps.. not sure what I'm doing wrong.."

People who have i7's and 8 gigs of ram with two 69xx series ATI cards are getting similar performance to me too.

I think it's safe to say they fucked up somewhere BAD and they need to fix it or they're going to lose a lot of players.

I had an absolute BALL in the starting area, but once I got out of it and players were standing around everywhere, it became unplayable and not fun.

It seems the game isnt quite optimized for more than 2 cores yet. Im sure there are a lot of driver issues. All I know is that I can run ultra with no issues in the 100 man rift events lol. 3 year old pc ftw

I'm running it on a Q9650 and a GTX 470 (OC'd) and I am getting 35-27 FPS with everything maxed, it seems the game hates ATI, or ATI's drivers. All the same there was an update this morning.

I get the same thing around 50 FPS once people start getting thrown into the fray it drops hardcore to 20-30fps. And im running 2x 6950s and 16gbs of memory. Doesn't seem to make much difference. Only thing could be drawing it down is my shitty HD.

Im using a i7 920 and 3.1ghz with a busted asus III rampage and a 4870 and I have another game running in windowed mode with rift at windowed mode on medium and I seriously don't have any issues. even in the huge raids we did last night with rifts, I had no complaints.

anyways, patch came yesterday that made it so people have a harder time to afk within the game. its a bit better since queues are waaaay down on briarcliff compared to a few days ago. gogogogo trion!

 

[CrackerJack]

no issues here either, fullscreen 1920/1080 ultra settings, with just shadow turn to the lowest. and i'm avg around ~50fps rifts, ~30fps pop cities or towns, ~75-90fps questing (125fps if i'm staring at a rock )

Seems to affect Crossfired rigs more or less... I guess it doesn't scale to well from what I've been reading.

i'm not having much issue with crossfire, definately had to make sure i had the latest drivers and application profiles, on ultra with aa and af on and all the way up with maa turned on i get about 80-120 outside of towns and citys and about 30-40 in crowded areas, in rifts with a lot of players and npc's i'm getting about 25 sometimes less... seems to be not me, but when i'm not in a rift, gameplay is super smooth and with maa on it looks gorgeous!!!! Just passed 25 on dayblind with my mage:necromanceryromancer:dominator!!!!

 

[MLG The Canadian]

Still runs like shit for me when I get into cities or populated areas I get maybe 15 fps lol.

Do you see your application profiles under presets? I dont see anything in there and there installed.

I get 30-40 outside and 12-15 in rifts and cities...I dont get it.. Maybe i'll do a reinstall of the drivers.

 

[W1zzard]

level 38!

happy to have upgraded my graphics card to gtx 580

I'm having tons of fun grinding via PvP. I hate questing in MMOs more than anything. I will hit 50 probably slowly compared to PvE grinding but I don’t care because I will have more than enough favor to buy whatever PvP gear I want haha...I just won't have many plats

On a side note...I came across a Rare Bow yesterday...said I was the 1st on the Shard to find it. Nice!

 

[MLG The Canadian]

How did you get it? Just a random drop while killing NPC's?

nope...and the details on how...i'll never tell

I feel like this game will maybe last 2-3 Months

I doubt it. Much longer. TBH it's the most fun in PvP i've had in a while. Brings me back to the DAOC days of sieges and such. Plus the PvP is quick, the public quest's get pretty nuts.


On a side note: I went ahead and slapped my GTX 480 in and my 2x 6950's running this with the Hydralogix, and I gotta say.. 10x better than Crossfire.. Smoother, never drops below 30-40fps no matter where I go. Pop cities or questing. PvP is smooth, everything renders perfect.

 

[Arrakis9]

i must say comparatively sli does run the game better than crossfire. my buddies and i were lan'ing Saturday night in the game, two of my friends in a raid together one rig running sli and one crossfire, same settings in game same res and the sli rig looked like silk while the crossfire rig was a lot slower and got choppy when a lot of people were on screen.

both are i7 builds
one setup had dual 6970's
one setup had dual GTX 570's

I doubt it people are tired of WoW.

This game is more fun than WoW, and the PVP is better as well.

2-3 months? I think it would take at least 6 months for them to shut servers down completely. Fury holds that crown as the fastest hyped MMO to fail misterably. I don’t see Rift going away that quick at all. But, Even polished games fall...DCUO is good...and polished...but I think the target market that appealed to doesn't really want to play another super hero game after City of Heroes has been around forever now. Maybe that's just me though. I'm sure DCUo will be around for a while too. Regardless of my distain for SOE, they've kept a lot of old MMOs going.

Anyway, all I’ve wanted to do is play today…but I am stuck at work…at least it’s only for another hour! Going to try for 30 tonight if that’s even possible. Stupid RL!

I played WoW since the beta of the original 7 or 8 years ago when I was a kid, and I stopped a few months back. I love RIFT and so far I'm enjoying it more than WoW.

I'm also upgrading my PC with my tax return
